Skyline Bar

 

 ... Janine Allen  ...

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.

I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn’t be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn’t want her to know that I hadn’t been walked today. Sometimes the overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn’t want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn’t feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone’s life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. 

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.

I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven’t walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one. 

I rescued a human today.

DOLLY

We had alot to be thankful for this year at Thanksgiving; most of all our new Dolly. She is the most beautiful, sweetest dog; and we are thrilled she is in our family now. She keeps us smiling, laughing, exercising (which is good for mama), and most of all she keeps us grounded. We remember every day that the best things in life are free and she fills our world with love! Best holiday wishes to you and yours! Sincerely, Dawn, Jessie and Dolly

DUCKY

03.27.11
Ducky aka Shiner has been a part of our family since February 19th, 2010. He is an amazing fit for us and we can’t imagine what we’d do without him! Shiner brings us joy and is a constant source of laughter, not only for us, but for our family and friends too. Shiner is probably the most popular one in our family!

In the year since we brought Shiner home, he’s learned a lot and had a great time doing it! Shiner finished house training soon after we got him (thank you to his HBR foster homes for getting him started) and mastered basic commands - Sit, Shake, Stay, Lay Down. Shiner learned to open the door by the handle (literally!) to allow himself in the house when he’s ready to come inside from the backyard, which is probably the most fun trick to watch! He can catch treats, play a game of fetch, and go on runs with mom or dad. One of our favorite games is Hide & Seek! Shiner loves to find us when we’re hiding in the house somewhere or hiding behind a tree or something in the yard. 

Shiner has been introduced to several other parts of Texas this past year and is a great travel companion. He developed a deep love for Texas Aggie football by tailgating in College Station.  He went up to the Big D to meet his grandparents, who love him almost as much as we do! His favorite destination is definitely Houston County Lake in Crockett. Whether he’s running free playing with his canine buddies, fetching a tennis ball in the lake, chilling out on a float, or sunning on the pier – he thinks he’s in paradise! We love being able to take this little guy wherever we go!

t’s been a wonderful year for us and we are grateful for Houston Boxer Rescue for bringing Shiner to us! Shiner is truly a blessing that continues to warm our hearts and make those mundane days a blast! Thank you HBR! 


DIESEL

Our baby boy is growing up. Went to the Vet today and 3 1/2 months 
old, we now weigh 27 lbs. He is such a joy and we are so lucky to have 
him. 

DREAMER

(11.29.10)

Hey to All,

Dreamer came to visit again, so I wanted to give update.  For everyone that doesn't know her story, she was our first foster and my father-in-law came in town for a race (drag race), and fell in love with her.  He kept saying what a great dog she was and on and on.  That Saturday and Sunday was the Reliant Dog Show, I was taking Dreamer to the event.  I told him to speak now forever hold his peace before I left Saturday morning and he said "I WANT HER." That is it in a nut shell.  My in-laws ABSOLUTELY love her.  Everyone from where they live want to adopt one just like her.  They tell my husband and I that if another comes in as good as Dreamer, just let them know... 
Although, there is only one Dreamer.

When they come to visit,  all other dogs are in a kennel at night, but not Dreamer.  She sleeps in the bed between my husband and I.  She still follows me around when she is here, but she is ready to go when her Momma and Daddy say to load up.  They say she spends her day hunting squirrels in their huge oak trees.  She has been a great blessing for them.  The holidays will be very hard for them this year and I am thankful they have Dreamer to cheer them up.  She is a sweet, gentle, affectionate lap companion.


DUKE

(12.2.10)
I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that Duke is doing great!  Since last October when we got him, we’ve learned so much about him.  He is so loving and playful and a joy to have as part of our family. 

First of all, he went for his annual checkup and is in great health – still heartworm free!  If you recall, he was terrified to ride in the car; not anymore.  The attached picture is from last week when we were traveling for Thanksgiving. 

He does all sorts of funny things like blow bubbles with his excessive drooling and spin in circles when we’re about to go for a run.  He and our other dog Bella are inseparable.  Thanks and hope you and your family have a joyous holiday season. 

Regards,
Selina H.
