TERLINGUA MOON

Vol 26. No. 46

November 10, 2015

“In the desert I had found a freedom unattainable in civilization; a life unhampered by possessions, since everything that was not a necessity was an encumbrance. I had found too, a comradeship inherent in the circumstances, and the belief that tranquility was to be found there.”

― Wilfred Thesiger

Tipsy was a rescue puppy. She was born in Feb. 2014. My son lives in California with his father and needs much more support at this time in his life than I can provide so far away. I need the ability to go back and forth between here and California and when gone be away for longer periods of time. My husband is over committed with multiple and varied obligations and can not possibly add her care to his already overextended schedule. She is very sweet. Two different vets have said that she looks quite a bit like a greyhound. Her behavior is that of a sight hound (which means she is quick to chase things that move) so she needs to be walked and/or somewhere there is a fence. (She will run off.) She also needs to be in a home where someone can spend time with her (even exercise her) as she still has some puppy in her. She is use to living with another dog. She has not had any exposure to cats. She has been spayed and is up to date on all her shots. She does sleep in a crate at night but is just as happy to sleep out on the floor. If you (or someone you know) might be able to provide her a good temporary home (all food and vet costs will be paid for) please call me at (432) 371-2263 or email seagullcaller@mac.com. If fostering does not become available by mid-December, I will explore permanent placement. 

SKY is a beautiful Husky who was rescued from the streets and is hoping someone will give him a chance to be a proper pet. He has a few things still to learn and is slowly rebuilding trust after what was clearly a tough time for him while he was on his own. SKY has had some experience with dogs and cats and loves water. He is about 60 pounds and not quite yet two years old. Come pay this striking guy a visit! SKY is housebroken, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all shots. His adoption fee is $100. The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road. All AAS animals are online at https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 For more info email heatherthemule@gmail.com
