Meet Leo from Spay/Houston!


Leo’s 30 days of free training and boarding has begun!  He is a young Stafordshire Terrier from Spay/Houston, and was accepted into Meadowlake Pet Resort’s New Leash on Life program earlier this month.  Leo has been learning, running, and playing hard since his arrival last week.  When he came to Meadowlake, he already knew a few commands such as waiting at the door, and sit.  Meadowlake Trainer, Tori Hankey, CPDT-KA has been working on expanding his vocabulary which will help him get adopted into his fur-ever home.  She found out pretty quickly that he loves to play tug-o-war with his favorite rope toy!  Leo is such a sweet guy, full of love, and patiently waiting for someone to find him!

Leo was found as a stray in a neighborhood near Meadowlake.  The people who took him in had good intentions, but their family dog didn’t care for the new comer.  The family’s dog attacked Leo, and as a result needed to seek veterinarian attention.  Luckily for Leo, he saw a veterinarian, and the family’s neighbor took him in.  From there he went into Spay/Houston’s adoption program.  He is now at Meadowlake lodging and learning basic commands and manners for the next 30 days absolutely free for Spay/Houston.  Even though this sweet young Staffie has a floating patella from the accident, he sprints through the fields at Meadowlake at top speed!  His favorite play is tug-o-war with his rope toy.  He would love a home where he can run in the backyard and a companion who will play with him all day!  For more information on Leo, or questions about adoption, please send an email to gurukarta@gmail.com

Brutis the Gentle Giant!



Brutis' 30 days of free training and boarding is coming to an end this week!  He is a young mixed breed from Jurassic Bark Rescue, and was accepted into Meadowlake Pet Resort’s New Leash on Life program earlier this month.  Brutis has learned, played, and loved so much over the last 3 and a half weeks, and now he needs his fur-ever home.  He knows a variety of commands including sit, down, sit stay, down stay, leave it, go to your bed, and he is crate trained.  Meadowlake Trainer Tori Hankey, CPDT-KA has been working with the gentle giant.  She found out pretty quickly that he loves human attention and back scratches!  Brutis is such a sweet guy, full of love, and patiently waiting for someone to find him!

Brutis was found at Nacogdoches Animal Shelter.  The pets that end up at this particular shelter aren't so lucky, so
Jurassic Bark Rescue had to act fast!  A volunteer from the shelter transported the 1.5 year old, believed to be a full blood Mastiff, to a temporary foster for Jurassic Bark Rescue.  After taking him in, Jurassic Bark Rescue realized that he is not a Mastiff after all!  Whatever his blood line may be, he has striking features including a beautiful brindle coat and those light brown eyes!  He would love a home with a big backyard so he can run but absolutely no cats!  For more information on Brutis please contact Jurassic Bark rescue at jurassicbarkrescue@yahoo.com.
