Ride with one of us or drive your own vehicle if you can only stay a short while - everything helps including keeping the bins in good order in between Recycling runs. On a side note, please stop and pickup aluminum cans, plastic bottles and the like if you see them strewn along the road. Let's minimize this carbon footprint and Keep Terlingua Beautiful.!

Guiya is among the sweetest of the pibble (pit bull) dogs around. With her small heart-shaped face that she gently puts in her human's face for kisses, and her tendency to lean against you or sit in your lap, this gal is sure to be a well-loved and loving, affectionate family friend. She looks forward to snuggles on the couch, easy-going walks, and a dog bed to call her own. Guiya gets along well with other dogs. Guiya is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all shots. She, and all the other pets at the Alpine Animal Shelter, can be found on Petfinder at: https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 Any questions or for more info, email heatherthemule@gmail.com
