On May 18, 2015, Beatrix was found stumbling in the pouring down rain in SW Houston.  She had chewed through a rope that was attached to her collar to get away.  She was soaking wet, emaciated, covered in mud and sticker burrs and her fur was completely matted.  It was obvious she had been out on the streets for a very long time. She was nothing but skin and bones under all that fur, she was tired,  and very hungry.  Beatrix is a beautiful and sweet girl who loves to be snuggled and close to her human watching tv.  The first two photos in the photo gallery show Beatrix now.  She has made a remarkable recovery!  The last 3 photos show Beatrix when she was found and you can clearly see how emaciated she was with her hip bones protruding in the photo where she is standing. Beatrix chewed through the rope to escape the horrible life of being tied outside all day.  She escaped and now is safe.  All she needs now is a loving family to give her a forever home where she will be loved and treated as a family member. A home where she will never ever be tied outside all day and forgotten.  A home where she will never go hungry again. Are you that family she has been waiting for?

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
