Abuse Is Not Discipline - new poster

We have had disappointing results working with the authorities on recent abuse cases. While we will continue to develop our relationship and work with local authorities, we will also try to find other ways to respond to abuse cases. One idea is this poster that we have prepared and plan to mail to people who abuse or neglect their dogs.

A Mason and Sadie Reunion

Both Sadie and Mason were living in the streets across from Mason Park, Greater East End Houston, an area with many homeless and abandoned dogs like poor Sadie and Mason. After one of Sadie’s pups was run over, a caring resident decided that was the last straw and decided to help Sadie and her remaining pup, Mason.

Both Sadie and Mason were taken into the Barrio Dogs program, vetted and spayed and neutered. Mason has found a wonderful home but Sadie is still in need of a home; however, we know her day is coming.

Sadie was recently invited to Mason's new home for a reunion play day and we were very happy to have been part of this fun afternoon. Thanks to Mason’s new mom Kathryn Daly for inviting Sadie over to have a little bit of paradise!
