Sophie – November 2020

Sophie came to us when she pranced across my computer screen. She was being fostered for NCBR by a friend of several years. My husband and I had decided when Lulu passed…….she would be our last Boxer. We had come to an age where Boxers were too big and required too much exercise for us. […]

Stanley – May 2021

My family adopted Stanley when I was 10. We recently lost him days before my 18th. I think of him every day. He was the goofiest dog I knew. He loved to fall asleep upside down, blow intense spit buddies, and snored like all the dogs in cartoons. Stanley was completely deaf but was so […]

Starbuck – December 2021

Our beautiful girl Starbuck crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 12/8/2021. She gave us more than 10 years of love, laughs, comfort and cuddles. She loved to zoom and play with the hose in the backyard. She was a big sister to Stringer, watching him warily after we brought him home but learning to love him, […]

Steve – August 2021

We adopted Steve (a.k.a – Duke) in the summer of 2010 back in Dallas. He moved to Austin with us in 2011 where we still live today. What an amazing dog and family member. He’s been thru the birth of two kids, 3 moves, and has traveled the country with our family. We love him […]

Sugar fna Shuggie – August 2022

Shuggie arrived as a foster in mid-July and basically declared Honey, I’m home! She’s a great people dog…perhaps not the best dog’s dog but we’ll keep working on it. She is learning to play and just basically making herself quite at home. Rhonda C

Toby – July 2021

Our wonderful lovable loving friend Toby (fna Bourbon) went to the Rainbow Bridge in early July right after suddenly becoming quite ill and being diagnosed with a serious condition known as a lung lobe torsion (twisted lung). We adopted Toby as a puppy from NCBR and had 9 1/2 wonderful years with him. We miss […]

Toby – May 2022

Toby 4/2011-5/02/2022 There are no words to express how much I’m hurting after losing my best friend Toby. Despite having to deal with more than his fair share of health issues over the years, he was always the most sweet, loving and happy boy. Life can really be so unfair but he didn’t let things […]

Tyson – April 2019

He is a trooper on hikes, loves road trips and has become quite the little camper. Tyson is always ready for adventure!  We […]
