Meet
Roo " Yes, a victim I once was, but the past
is the past and a victim I choose to be no more."
Cast aside by humans after being a victim of sheer
amusement, Roo was rescued and now lives on happily with an inspiring
renewed
spirit in hopes of sharing and teaching the profound meaning
of hope and unconditional love to those humble enough to receive
it.(read

Saving
A Life By Fostering
These
3 week old pups were left orphaned after their mom succumbed
to sickness and needed the helping hands of Paws in the City.
A Paws foster was ready to step in at a moment’s notice
to take these into her care. They are all thriving despite
their hardship.
We are forever grateful to the fosters for PITC. If you would

or cat puppy or kitten,

Through
the Eyes of Petey You know I used to be envious of cats, because I always heard
that they have nine lives. But I am beginning to think they
are not the only ones who do. After all, I have seen mine pass
before me at least three times now!
Dallas Animal Services knows me well. I started out there as
a young pup. Despite my sweet disposition and unusual looks,
potential adopters overlooked me. My time had run out, but
not before a kind woman who saw my potential found a safe haven
for me. It was great being showered with attention from all
these kids who took me under their wing with support from their
pet club (Bishop Dunne Catholic School). I did my best to show
my appreciation. But it was not meant to be. Again, I was scheduled
to be sent back to DAS. The Pet Club was discontinued and there
was nowhere else for me to go.
But just at the last minute, one of the teachers at Bishop
Dunn couldn’t bear the thought of what little chance
I had to be adopted….even though I was constantly assured
how handsome and sweet I was.
A gentleman who owned a shop thought he could provide for me
and give me a life I deserved. Yes, again, it was not meant
to be.
Just 7 months later, here I was back at Dallas Animal Services.
I had reached the 11th hour when Paws in the City pulled out
all the plugs for me. Imagine…when you notice you have
your own cheering section from all the wonderful folks who
knew I was destined for greater things…most importantly
this group who steps in when no one else will…Paws in
the City. Don’t worry..I plan on making them PROUD!

You Help Us Find Permanent Homes in the City?
All 12 of us made it to the big city thanks to a very dedicated family who
brought us into the rescuing arms of Paws in the City. We are now a lively
bunch of pups, enjoying learning how city folks live...thanks to our foster
parents. We were born on April 17th to a mom who was mostly border collie/lab
and did all she could for us these last 8 weeks.
SO
far the consensus from all the foster families is that we
are extremely attentive to people and quick learners! The
pictures you see here are from our debut we made last Saturday
at the Village on the Parkway adopt-a-pet.

OH yea, everyone uses the word "Precious" to describe us whatever
that means.
2 males (one yellow and one brown/white)
