DOG OF THE WEEK |
Romo While my foster family and I were sitting around watching my Cowboys play their first pre-season game the other night they decided to play some UNO. I thought this would be fun so I got right in on the action. I love my foster family so much because we do all sorts of fun things like this together. I especially like the kids in the house!! This was my first time playing cards but it was pretty fun. I made my foster brother Draw Two and he got all excited because he had just said UNO! I don't really understand all of the rules but it was fun. Oh and don't worry my foster mom didn't let me drink any of the wine, she said I was too young and made me stick to water! Is your family fun like my foster family? Its just about time for football season and I need my forever family to practice with and watch the games with so my foster mom can go save some more dogs! I would love to come home with you... |
SNIPITS FROM ADOPTERS |
PRECIOUS (Trixie) Precious and mom I had been looking for a dog for our family for over 6 months and when we met Trixie I just had a good feeling that she would be a great match. Having a young child made me a little leery of getting a dog but she has never snipped or bitten at all. She's very loving and loves to lay in your lap. She even fell asleep on my shoulder one day when I was holding her.... One thing, She tried to dig her way out of our backyard twice which I blocked the areas with bricks and she hasn't tried it again. She knows her name real well and comes at my every call :).  Trixie when she came to SNIPSA She likes to howl with the neighbors dogs in the morning. I guess it's their way of saying hello! She has been much better at keeping her bark under control. If she's barking too much I just open the back door and say hush and she does it. She minds real well. I've even tried to start teaching her some tricks. She's got the sitting and laying down down good! :). She loves walks and loves to just be outdoors. She is truly a blessing to us and my 3 year old and I just loves her. Thank you once again for this wonderful dog.  Precious (Trixie) now Christina |
LUCY LEE Lucy 2008 Lucy Lee was a dog running loose, barely surviving in the streets of downtown San Antonio. A business in the area befriended her and were able to gain her confidence. They called SNIPSA and she was rescued off the streets. When Lucy was adopted, no one could have guessed the kind of life she would have. Here is Lucy, her family and life now. She is traveling through Alaska in a motorhome.  "Lucy is having a ball-we are now at a park that has "tons" of trails and so many scents!!!! I told Jim just this morning that Lucy is having a great vacation. If Lucy cannot be involved in what we are planning we don't do it. Jim will not leave her alone. These two have definitely become as ONE!!! So cute and fun to watch!!!!"  |
