The Daily Dudley - Adoption Option In Action

Dudley and his friends spend a lot of time working to put the Adoption Option in Action and find forever homes for his friends and cousins. There are so many ways we can all help bring awareness to others who can help too. Here we'll bring you stories of our friends waiting for homes, the volunteers who help coordinate it, events to participate in, and information on adoption and fostering.

MORK & MINDY

Nanu Nanu

I first found "Mindy" in an outside run at the BARC Animal Shelter. He was super sweet and came right up to me. I fed him some treats and he followed me around like a little puppy dog - because he was. Only six months old. Just a loving, affectionate baby. But I had to leave him to go photograph … [Read more...]

LYRICS LAMENT

SECOND CHANCES

Too late, my time has come. Sends shivers down my spine. Body's aching all the time. Goodbye everybody, I've got to go. Gotta leave you all behind the face of truth. I don't want to die. I Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all... I just love that song, Bohemian Rhapsody by Thin Lizzy. Don't … [Read more...]

L-O-L-A LOLA LO LO LO LO LOLA

The Story of The Lovely Lola

  Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy but when I looked in her eyes, well, I almost fell for my Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola...  Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls. It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world except for Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola... I just … [Read more...]

HERO NEEDED FAITH

IN NEED OF A HERO

His name is Hero. We lucked upon him while taking photos for BARC. We do this every week to update their intake mugshots, which are pretty lacking when it comes to capturing the true essence of these beautiful animals as they are admitted to the shelter. Entering a shelter is always a shock to … [Read more...]

DEE DEE’S DILEMMA

DEE DEE THE SERIAL SMOOCHER

It didn't look good for Dee Dee. I'll admit, when I went to retrieve her from her kennel at the BARC animal shelter, I was not impressed. It didn't help that she shared the name of someone's evil step-mother I know. Yes, Dee Dee and I started off on the wrong foot. No fault of her own, of … [Read more...]

SECOND CHANCES

SECOND HAND DOGS

Sometimes life deals you a bad hand - through no fault of your own. Fate can kick you in the butt or it can renew your faith in The God of your choice. I borrowed that God phrase from my friend, Kinky Friedman. It makes perfect sense. Here is the story of Bagheera. Named after the panther in The … [Read more...]

ME & JOHNNY CASH

MY FRIEND - JOHNNY CASH

Friends, do you believe in miracles? If you don't, read on and you will. If you do, read on because this was a miracle: I hear the train a comin'. It's rolling round the bend. And he ain't seen the sunshine, since he don't remember when. He was stuck in doggie prison, and time kept draggin' on. … [Read more...]

FOSTER – IT’S NOT JUST A BEER

FOSTER - NOT JUST A BEER

Oh, sure, I've downed my share of beers. I'm a big fan of Shiner Bark, Saint Arnold Ale Wagger, and Foster. When I was much younger, my friends and I would sneak into the local Stop & Rob to buy beer (we looked older than we were), and we always opted for Foster. It came in what looked like … [Read more...]

Townes (formerly Niro) had it ruff. As a puppy, he ended up at BARC in Houston, a high kill shelter. He was lucky. He got … [Read more...]

GET BACK JOJO!

JOJO WAS A MAN WHO THOUGHT HE WAS A LONER

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner. But he knew it wouldn't last. Jojo left his home at a shelter in Houston. Went to Colorado fast. Get back. Get back. Get back to where you belong. I just love that Beatles song, don't you? I happened to be photographing dogs at a high kill shelter in … [Read more...]
