How I ended up in the 'low
Beagles are a special and wonderful breed. They come with special instructions, however! We chat about those here!
Jake
6 y/o Jake was an owner surrender. We were told that Jake was overweight at 40 pounds…he weighed in at 63! This sweet boy has joined the Weight Watchers Club and the Bungalow also. He is fairly active but scarfs his food down like he has not seen kibble for a month! It will be a challenge to get this beautiful hound looking trim!
Spuds
Spuds is only 5 years old and already looks like an old man. Spuds owner fell and broke a hip. He will be in rehab for a long while, so Spuds came to HBHR. Spuds rear legs need surgery to correct the knee caps that are out of place. He has been losing some weight but needs to get down to 40 pounds at least. He has joined Weight Watchers at the Bungalow!
Olaf
Olaf is a 2 y/o male that was trapped last winter during the freeze. He is sweet and loves playing with the other dogs but is very frightened of people. He will take treats from your hand and is looking curious about getting a group pet. He will be at the Bungalow for awhile as he slowly is socialized.
Milo
8 y/o Milo was found early this summer at 69 pounds! He did well the first couple months at losing weight but hit that dreaded plateau in September and only lost 1 pound! He is currently on the green bean diet where you replace half his kibble with frozen green beans! He is a champ and eats it without complaint! He loves going on outings with one of the volunteers. He will make a wonderful companion to some family.
Chief
Chief is a 9 y/o boy who came down from Flower Mount. It wasn’t until after he arrived that his family was found. They were happy to hear that he was at the Bungalow with a friend to hang out with. They said he had been lonely in their home. His biggest problem is adding a few pounds to his frame.
Suzie
This 7 y/o girl was found stray this last spring. She is super cute and fun to have around. After being in 3 foster homes and failing 3 adoptions, we finally understand why no one came looking for her. As sweet and loving as Suzie can be, she is an escape artist second to none! Only the 8 inch concrete barrier around the fence line at the Bungalow has kept her in! Good thing we have double gates because she is small and can get past her in a flash! She will be staying at the Bungalow until someone with a super secure yard takes her home!
Booker
Booker is a senior boy who was found a year ago and taken to a local shelter. He was over 50 pounds and could hardy move! He has worked hard to lose 20+ pounds and is looking good. Because of chronic infection of his anal glands, Booker had surgery late last spring to have the anal sacs removed. He is much happier and free of infection but was left with some incontinence. When barking he will pop out small turds and you will find smears on bedding and the floor. He is not adoptable as is so will spend his life with the pack at the bungalow where the floors are moppable and the bedding gets changed often!
Beebe
Senior boy Beebe is a Basset mix. He arrived at the Bungalow weighing 87 pounds! He has already lost over 15 pounds, but still has 30 more to go!! He is a happy boy and enjoys running to the call of a squirrel sighting! Maybe he will be ready to meet a new family next fall!
Levi
Levi is an 8 y/o boy who has lived at the Bungalow for almost 2 years. He is quiet, sweet and very shy. His constant buddy Cyrus recently passed. You can see in his eyes how sad he is. He has always loved going on adventures with the escape artist in the pack so hoping he will once again join his friends in play time!
Sage
Sage just turned two years old. Her Mom and litter mates found new homes the summer of 2023 after they were all found abandoned. Sage was so frightened of people that she had to be trapped. She has only one person that she trusts to giving her the loving she needs. Even frequent volunteers to the Bungalow cause her to hide most of the trim. She is getting braver and we have high hopes that she will turn the corner like her pack mate Frankie has!!
Shiloh
Shiloh is a senior boy who has been a ‘yard dog’ for a long time. During the extreme heat this past summer, Shiloh came to stay at the bungalow. He is a big boy (probably a lab/beagle mix) who gets along with the pack and loves to chase after and carry around toys. He is currently on meds to help with his obsessive circling.
Frankie
This red tick coonhound mix was found stray and taken to a shelter in Waco. She was timid and would not interact with adoptive families. HBHR was called to give this girl a second chance. At the ‘Low, she is slowly learning to trust people and will come for pets more often now. She loves squeaky toys and is learning to play with others. Watching the others in the pack interact with humans is the best medicine we can give this beautiful girl!
