** Adoption Pending ** Karlie (Spring, TX)

       

Meet Karlie – A Brave Little Fighter Ready for a Fresh Start!

Say hello to sweet Karlie, an 8-pound bundle of courage with a story that will tug at your heartstrings. This little girl was left to roam the streets, and tragically, she was hit by a car. Did her previous owners rush her to the vet? Sadly, no. They waited two long weeks before surrendering her to a shelter — where her future took a hopeful turn. When rescue stepped in, they found Karlie unable to walk on her back right leg. Time had passed, and her bones were healing—but not the way they should. Without hesitation, SRT whisked her off to an orthopedic surgeon who performed surgery, implanting a plate and pins to set her leg right. Now, just two weeks post-surgery, Karlie is already showing amazing progress! She’s eager to play and keep up with the other pups, but she still has six more weeks of healing ahead. Though she’s a busy little girl with lots of energy, she also loves snuggling up close with her humans. Karlie is looking for a loving foster home where she can rest, recover, and get all the care she needs until she’s ready for adoption. Could you be the special someone to help this brave girl on her road to recovery? Click the adopt tab to foster/adopt Karlie. Her adoption fee is $400

Dozer (Spring, TX)

   

Meet Dozer – A Brave Little Fighter Looking for a Healing Haven!

Say hello to Dozer, a handsome cream and apricot Miniature Poodle mix (with maybe a dash of Schnauzer!) who’s about one year old and weighs around 18 pounds. Dozer’s journey hasn’t been easy—he was found after being hit by a car, and when he arrived at the shelter, he couldn’t even stand. But this resilient boy didn’t give up! After just a few days, he was able to stand and take a few wobbly steps. X-rays showed that Dozer has a broken vertebra, but thankfully, his spinal cord wasn’t affected. He’s now on strict crate rest for about six weeks to let his back heal properly. Depending on how he progresses, he might need surgery to remove some bone fragments, but for now, he’s focused on recovery. When SRT rescued him, Dozer was extremely matted and in desperate need of some TLC. He spent hours on the grooming table getting all those mats carefully removed and enjoyed a much-needed bath. Through it all, Dozer was the sweetest, most patient pup—calm, compliant, and full of gentle spirit. Dozer has met several other dogs and gets along well with them. Right now, he’s looking for a special foster home where he can rest comfortably, take it easy, but still get gentle walks to keep his muscles strong during recovery. Could you be the kind heart to help Dozer heal and thrive? If you have a calm space and lots of love to give, Dozer would be forever grateful! Apply to foster/adopt Dozer under the Adopt tab. When ready, his adoption fee is $400

Mochi (Spring, TX)

       

Welcome Mochi a black and white Miniature Poodle mix who is about six years old and weighs about thirteen pounds. This boy was surrender to a shelter as his family couldn’t afford his care–which included heartworm prevention. Poor guy has heartworm disease and will need to go through treatment. He’s a sweet pup who does fine with other dogs, is good being picked up and bathed and is crate trained. He’s with a temporary foster while SRT looks for someone who can keep him through his treatment. He has been neutered and is up to date on his vaccines. He will be ready for adoption in mid-May.

Bodie (Spring, TX)

       

Meet Little Bodie 🤍 — a tiny soul with a big heart. Bodie was found as a stray, and although he does have a microchip, every effort to reunite him with his owner—including phone calls and even a home visit—sadly led nowhere. Bodie is a toy poodle weighing a whopping three pounds and is estimated to be somewhere between six and ten years old. His microchip lists him as six, while the vet believes he may be closer to ten. He has mature cataracts and will be seeing an ophthalmologist once his overall health improves. The good news is that he is heartworm negative. Currently, Bodie is being treated for anemia, and once that’s resolved, he will be neutered. Despite everything he’s been through, he’s an absolute sweetheart. He does wonderfully with other dogs, is great during grooming, and lives for cuddling with his human. This adorable little fluff ball just wants warmth, comfort, and love. Bodie deserves a soft place to land and a forever home filled with patience and affection. His bio will be updated as his health continues to improve—but one thing is already certain: he’s incredibly special.
