Latest Update:

Joanie was adopted by the Sadler family today. Autumn and her son made the drive from Gunter to pick her up. They have been looking for a playmate for their 2yr old hound mix and Joanie fit the bill. She’ll also have a 14 yr old Puggle sister and 2 human brothers. They have a big back yard for lots of running and playing. They are still thinking about a name and will let us know. There are no words to describe how happy I am that this very special sweet girl is going to have her own home/family, be loved beyond measure and have a wonderful life. Can’t wait to watch you grow up on the Happy Tails page.

About Joanie:

We were contacted very late a couple of nights ago about this female Bordeaux down in a shelter in Laredo with two pups. They are all in very poor condition. We tagged them ASAP yesterday morning before they were heading off to be euthanized. Mr. Ricky Barnes is on his way down there to pick all three of them up and bring them back to us here.

I don’t have names, I don’t even know if the pups are males or females, but we will figure that out as soon as Ricky gets them off safely and sends me more information.

Terrible situation and they will be safe very soon…

Millie sending us an update about Joanie who she loves and says she’s just a great little girl.

“Joanie continues to grow, play and love life! She’s getting bigger every day and loves to play with anyone that will play with her. This sweet girl is house trained, crate trained and waits patiently for her food. She sits when asked and is now learning to walk on a lease like a big girl. She also corrects easily when needed. I am not sure why people are not blowing up the mailbox on Joanie. She is a very special girl!”

Millie updating us on Joanie:

Joanie, Joanie what can I say… this girl is a total sweet heart and takes after her brother Richie. She sleeps quietly in her crate all night.. has not had any accidents in the house and gets along with all the dogs. She has something special in the way she looks at you … the way she sinks into you when you pick her up and her desire to please. Plus she is extremely smart and picks up on things quickly. She is now eating three times a day and I swear she grows more every day. Joanie is a puppy and can get into mischief but corrects easily. She has a lot of energy and loves to play with everything and everyone. Playing catch is one of her favorites and of course when all else fails she’ll entertain herself trying to catch her tail. The good thing is she has that “off” switch and can chill out with the rest of the pack when asked.

Laura says she doesn’t have any interest which is hard to understand. She is unique, loving and smart what more can a person want.

UPDATE 7/23/2021

Her life has been nothing but a struggle until she was rescued. Her mama Marion is spoken for with a family waiting, her little brother has passed away. Joanie is looking for a family that she can call her own. Is that you?

UPDATE 6/27/2021

Richie and Joanie were roaming the streets and then ultimately found taking up a safe spot in a warehouse with their Mama Marion. They have not been doing well, so sick with parasites and very low albumin and hematocrit. Dr. Reno had us give them canned recovery which is a very high calorie dog food for instances like this. Their appetite has been poor and she said if we cannot get them to eat they will need to be hospitalized and transfused. Happily, the captains offered them that food and they ate it all up and are doing better and better each day. They are very lucky to be alive and it’s wonderful to see them safe, clean and on the road to recovery.

UPDATE 6/19/2021

Mama Marion is precious and wants nothing more than some love and to share her big meat waffle with you to get your attention.

The story is Marion was found in a warehouse in Laredo with her two pups. She kept these babies alive by nursing them at the expense of her own body. All of them covered in ticks and fleas and the puppies bellies are just full of worms. They will need lots of various worming medications as we know there are many kinds in there. All of them will be first on the list to see Dr. Reno first thing tomorrow morning, in the meantime they are safe, clean and tucked into the isolation room at the sanctuary.

UPDATE 6/18/2021

Just a quick glimpse at this mama dog and her pups that are now safe in the hands of Mr. Ricky Barnes. Her pups are mixes, who knows what, looks like one might have some brindle and I’m sure they are some kind of Heinz 57. Ricky said one pup is a female and one pup is a male, looks like maybe around 4 months old but that’s a guess from here.

Welcome to Dog Ranch Rescue to all three of them.

Mama dog is Marion

Boy pup is Richie

Female pup is Joanie.

Happy Days for sure….

Mama Marion
