she's five months old and just 20 pounds. She's got an adorable face and silky little ear floofs that makes me really happy. she doesn't have a name (#A2268694) and she's wedged herself into the corner of her cubby so as not to be seen. she's a sweet and terrified little soul who is overwhelmed at the shelter. she loves people and if you come for her, you should expect all things puppy because that's what I think she will be outside of this loud and scary place. She's a special gentle soul, though that I know for sure.

• ID Number: Borus A1286793

• Age: 6 Years

• Sex: Unaltered Male

• Weight: 40lbs

• Intake Type: Stray found on W BROOKLYN AVE, DALLAS TX 75211

• Heartworm Positive

Bio

Borus is a gentle dog who recently arrived at the shelter in urgent need of medical care. He has a large laceration along the dorsum of his neck, likely from an embedded‑collar injury. The wound is dry, dirt‑contaminated, and shows purulent discharge and debris buildup. He is also dealing with diffuse flea dermatitis.

Even with these painful injuries, Borus remains calm and willing to accept gentle attention. He clearly wants comfort and safety, and he’s still showing trust despite everything he’s been through. Unfortunately, the medical care he needs is more than the shelter can provide. This puts him at risk for euthanasia due only to the level of treatment required.

Borus needs a safe place to heal — whether that’s a rescue, medical foster, or someone able to provide the care he desperately needs. If you can help, please email with your contact information so we can call you back. Your support could be the chance he needs to survive and recover.

Upon opening the door, the dog is still frozen and head goes lower and cowers away when putting a leash over the head. Tail is not wagging and body is tense the entire time, with no interest in treats. I opened the door and invite dog to walk, but does not approach the door at all does not follow the leash if encouraged to walk. Was able to remove the leash safely, but still tense and whale eyed.

5/5/2026: In kennel dog was tense and sitting in the corner with whale eyes, was lip licking, and started to shake. I opened the door and squatted outside of door and started trying to lasso the leash as a baby talked her. She then pancaked and pressed herself against wall and continued to shake and look at me with whale eyes. I started to call her by her name and she lifted her head which allowed me to place leash. She then slowly walked out with tense body, low head, and tucked tail. I took her outside but she was resistant to go into the run so i loose leash walked her. She tensed up a little more while outside so i brought her back inside and placed her into kennel. I was able to remove leash and then exited out of kennel.

5/4/2026: 05/04/26 08:57 At back of kennel pressed against floor, full body tense and whale eyes looking up at me, lip licking. Lassoed leash on and she walked outside with tight leash, stiff steps and tail tucked, scanning surroundings with swivel head and ears back, lip licking. Left her in runs and she kept close to the perimeter, walking around with same tense body. When I returned she was behind the gate so I was able to open it in and corner her in between the fence and the gate, then lasso leash on. Walked inside again with tight leash, stiff steps and tail tucked, scanning surroundings with swivel head and ears back, still lip licking

5/3/2026: 05/03/26 09:11 whale eyed, tense and lip licking while lassoing leash on. Walked once on leashed with hackles raised and tail tucked out to runs. When I returned for her she was scurrying around me, hackles raised and growling and air snapping. Fortunately she stopped to poop and I was able to lasso leash on.

💜🐶 #A2071533 Boone

4/29 Stray | Staffie Mix | Neutered Male | 1Y 1M | 46lbs | HW Negative

💜 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Boone.

📝 Shelter Notes:

He wagged his tail upon approach and was easy to leash. While he pulls slightly when walking, he is easily redirected and has a friendly temperament.

In kennel, dog was wiggly and vocalizing. He leashed well but walked on a tight leash to and from the runs. While in the run he sat at the fence by the neighboring dog, howling. He escaped from the run but was easily leashed back up. Once back inside he was forward barking at passing dogs even with his cover up. Settled down once he recieved his Kong.

In kennel, dog was wiggly and vocalizing. I leashed him and he walked out well on the with wiggly body... occasionally trying to jump while on the leash. In the round dog maintained the same body language and was wiggly.

Mr. Boone went to surgery.

Mr. Boone when approaching he would start jumping on the gate door. Placing the leash on him he will start jumping at the door making it hard to leash him. Used treat to get him down to leash. When walking out he pulled forward on the leash.

Notice when in the runs he will bark and run back and fourth at other dogs. High pitch wine as well.

Mr. Boone when approaching he would start jumping on the gate door. Placing the leash on him he will start jumping at the door making it hard to leash him. Used treat to get him down to leash. When walking out he pulled forward on the leash, tossed treats but was not interested in them.

Boone was a move adopt and was place in the dog run and as I was approaching he was jumping on the gate door.

Placing the leash on him and has we started walking he pulled forward on the leash, tossed treats but was not interested in them. In the kennel, again he started jumping on the kennel door as I was passing by to take a dog back to the kennel.

This morning Boone was forward barking, lunging and occasionally snarling and jumping agasint the kennel door at passing dogs. He was very vocal all morning. When I appraoched he had a tense body, dialated eyes and was heavy panting. On

the leash he had a tense body and he pulled all the way to the runs and treats did not redirect him. I locked his run latch because he's an escape artist and can open them if not locked. I watched him from the hall windows pace back and forth

while trying to find a way to get out of the run, he tried jumping up on the fence a couple times as well before he gave up.

Coming back in he forward barked at some of the dogs in their kennels while he pulled on the leash.

No, my pals and I do not refrain from posting small dogs because we discriminate against them. The fact is, they don't need us. I have yet to see a euth-listed dog under 20 lbs get executed, even the very old or the very sick. A human always steps up for them. Not that I wish them any harm—my soul dog was a Chiweenie—but there's so many dogs and so little time.

It's the big kids who get discriminated against, so we throw ourselves wholeheartedly into their defense.

I doubt there are any GSDs in Houston but Trina now. BARC killed them all last week.
