This story really touched my heart as I saw a situation that might not be too far from home for me. Many of you know, I am constantly rescuing dogs and flipping fosters. I actually only own ONE dog, but I currently have 5 dogs in my house. If I were to be run down by a bus tomorrow, I know my family would take care of my actual dog. She is know as my mother’s granddog/ grandchild. But as much as they would like to take in the rest, it would not be easy for my immediate family to take in the all of the other dogs. What would happen to my babies? Well, I would like to think that my friends in the rescue community would come to their aid and make sure they continued to have fabulous forever homes. And I would hope that I would extend that same compassion for another dog lover as well.
So here is the story that touched my heart, and here is my plea to you: A Grandbury attorney recently found out that she had a heart condition. Within two weeks she was dead. She had no time to plan for her dog family. These dogs were all rescued by her and lived with her on a large piece of property in Grandbury. They were all obviously loved and well cared for. She had every size dog –there is something in there for everyone: an adorable terrier, big ol Labradors, an Aussie mix, a border collie mix, a dachshund mix etc etc – we have listed them all below with picture. Please cross post and share this link – let’s get these babies some happy homes.
From the email I received:
Please pass on , if you would. It looks like only 1 dog has been tagged by the rescue group below……..the others need help, especially the larger ones. I think all dogs are fully vetted.
PLEASE CONTACT: 903-482-4808 or email Sacredpawsdogs@gmail.com
This group has offered to help as the contact/screener for potential homes or rescue groups. These dogs are NOT with this group.
ALL DOGS PICTURED NEED ADOPTERS OR RESCUES. PLEASE HELP!!!! TRANSPORT CAN BE ARRANGED IF SOMEWHAT LOCAL TO THE DFW AREA!!
The 12 dogs pictured were owned by a very kind attorney in Granbury that passed away a very short time ago, just two weeks after finding out she had a heart condition. She had no time to make arrangements for her dogs. ALL DOGS WERE RESCUE DOGS THAT BELIEVED THEY HAD FOUND THEIR FOREVER HOME. HEARTBREAKING!
This was a very large property (a farm) and many of these dogs lived in the house. We believe all of these indoor dogs were housetrained. They include the two Black Labs, the Belgian Shepherd, and all the smaller dogs. A few of them were indoor/outdoor type dogs that went in and out of a large air conditioned/heated building on the property. We know a few of these are probably housetrained too. The fact they were housetrained for this building on the property is very good, so they would probably just require someone willing to transition them back to a fully indoor type environment should that be the interest.
**The new property owner has given friends of the attorney only through 12/13 to try to find them homes. Adopters or rescue groups are desperately needed.**
Note that many of the small dogs have had some response. NONE OF THE LARGER DOGS HAVE HAD ANYONE RESPOND – PLEASE HELP!!!!
Please, if you can open your heart and help one of these dogs, everyone would be so very grateful. These are GREAT dogs – very sweet.
This previous owner had such a kind heart and just wanted to save dogs. These dogs were all rescued and were believed to be in their forever home.. This is an incredibly sad situation. Please, can you help save one?

SISSY, F, Aussie Mix
Sissy is a petite Aussie mix that loves other dogs. She is such a sweetheart! She can be a bit bashful on first meeting, but is so very affectionate once she knows you like her. She is an adult, not yet middle-aged, who is a gentle lovable soul. She is extremely loving and would be so grateful for a home. Very smart and so wants to please you. She especially loves her buddy Jojo (also pictured). Please help her!
JOJO, M, Border Collie Mix
Jojo is a very cute middle-aged Aussie/Border Collie mix that needs someone to help him – that will see that this boy has so much love to give. Very intelligent and very attentive. He loved his owner that passed away very much, but he can be very bashful when it comes to new people. He also is unsure of men, so sadly that probably means some man was possibly not nice to… him which breaks our hearts. Just needs someone willing to work with him (if there’s a man in the house, if that man were to consistently give him doggie treats that makes all the difference for dogs like this that are bashful around men). He deserves to have love and have a home. He loves other dogs and especially his very best friend Sissy. Won’t you help this boy?
REX, M, Border Collie/Aussie Mix
Rex is adorable. He has a very cute face and is a Border Collie/Aussie mix. Rex is a smart boy that likes people but needs that forever person in his life. He would do great with someone willing to work with him and truly love him. Rex enjoys the companionship of other dogs and really loves them. Please help him!!
MAYLEE, F, Newfoundland/Lab Mix
Maylee is beautiful. SO SO SWEET – awesome dog. She is a young dog at about 3 years old and appears to possibly have some Newfoundland, Lab, or Border Collie in her background. She is typical Lab size at 70 pounds, but if you could see her beautiful coat up close you will notice it’s somewhat wiry so this is super interesting. Maybe she has some German Wirehair Pointer or even some water spaniel or wirehaired terrier in her background? Very cute. Maylee is HOUSETRAINED and very calm and sweet. She does fine with other dogs. She is gentle and loves a good tummy rub and once you do this, she will follow you anywhere. SO CUTE. Please, help save her!
DIEGO, M, Dachshund Mix
Diego is a little adult Dachshund mix and he is SUPER CUTE. In typical Dachshund fashion, he believes himself to be top dog and he does great with other dogs once they know him and he knows them. He loves to play with the other dogs and is used to being an indoors doggie. He would also do great in a home where he is the only dog getting the love and attention. He is a very cute little guy! Please, help him find his forever home …more pics of Diego:

COCOA, M, Chinese Crested Mix
Cocoa is an adult Chinese crested mix and that’s why he has the unusual and may we say very interesting and unique look! We love that – few dogs will ever look like him and that is so unique and special. Chinese Cresteds are great dogs. He is a super sweet little guy who loves to play fetch. VERY TALENTED TOO – he can actually walk for extended periods on his back legs. LOL!!! Loves other dogs and is very used to being an indoors dog. He would love to have a home! Please, help him.. He’s hoping & waiting …more pics of Cocoa:

CANDI KISSES, F, Schnauzer
Candi is a purebreed Schnauzer whose full name is Candi Kisses. And yes, she is named after candy since she is just that sweet. She is fine with cats, fine with other dogs and is HOUSETRAINED. In typical Schnauzer fashion, she is a little diva that believes herself in charge (don’t all Schnauzers? Haha). She is a snuggly girl who is energetic, lovable, and curious about everyone and everything. She is hoping for a great home! Please help her! More pics of Candi

JACKSON, M, Labrador Retriever
Jackson has the sweetest face. He is a beautiful Labrador Retriever with big beautiful eyes. He has always been an indoors dog with his sister Lendi and is a loving dog who does fine with cats and other dogs. He is so sweet, but can be bashful of men so he will need someone willing to work with him to get him over this (usually, this can be done by having any men around this dog having a dog treat ready for him – they learn very quickly!). Jackson is one of those dogs that tries to talk. He loves to answer people talking to him. Jackson also loves to nap in the sunshine which is very cute. He needs a home that will love him. Won’t you help?

CLIFFORD, M, Belgian Shepherd Mix
Clifford is a middle-aged Belgian Shepherd mix. He was originally rescued from an animal shelter where two other bad dogs attacked him. He’s a lover and not a fighter so he lost his leg, but not his sweetness! He is a special needs boy since he is missing his right front leg but Clifford has no idea that this is the case. He loves to run (this has not stopped him!), and he loves to play. He is housetrained and crate-trained and even knows how to use a doggy door. Knows basic obedience and walks well on a leash. Really likes other girl dogs. Can you give him a home? He would so love to be with you. (Clifford’s adoption will go through Sacred Paws Dog Rescue.) Please adopt him! More pics of Clifford:

CASEY, F, Bully or Mix
Casey’s face says it all. CUTE, CUTE, CUTE. She’s a bully girl that loves other dogs. She loves attention and adores people. This is one of the sweetest and most deserving dogs. She was recently rescued from a bad situation and nursed to health and you can see in her face how very grateful and loving she is. She adores everyone. Won’t you give her the home she so deserves? Casey is a special needs middle age sweetie pie. She has so much joy inside to share with you and she’s waited a long time for her forever home.
