Summer American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Brenham, TX

Adoption Fee: $125
Adoption fee includes neuter or spay, up to date vaccinations, heartworm tested if old enough or started on heartworm prevention as a puppy, deworming and a one year TBAR membership.

On March 8, 2014, True Blue Animal Rescue was asked to step in and take custody of a dog in Somerville, Texas. TBAR founders, Dale and Melanie DeAeth, were accompanied by Somerville police to respond to reports that a dog was being severely neglected. Thankfully the dog, later named Summer, was not completely emaciated since a kindly neighbor had been attempting to give the dog food. When TBAR staff met Summer, she was friendly and extremely happy to see people. All she wanted to do was give kisses and be near people, despite the neglect she had been experiencing.

Summer was taken to the vet immediately after being seized from the owner. The vet discovered that she was heavy heartworm positive and would need expensive heartworm treatment. Because TBAR is a no-kill rescue and believes if the animal has a good quality of life and treatment is available, Summer was not euthanized due to financial burden and instead has been blossoming in her foster home during her heartworm treatment. Summer loves playing in the yard and chewing on her toys. She also loves to play tug o war and is very gentle. She is nearly finished with her heartworm treatment and will be looking for her forever home!

If you think Summer would be a wonderful addition to your family, please contact True Blue Animal Rescue by emailing help@t-bar.org or leaving a voicemail at (936)878-2349 and we will return your call at our earliest convenience.
