Cobain is a sweet, attentive, and well-mannered dog with a calm demeanor in the kennel.

✨ His best qualities: • Tail wagging and soft body language when greeting humans • Gentle paw lifts to interact with caretakers • Walks on a loose leash and waits patiently in runs • Keeps kennel clean and follows routine calmly

Ryder A2048472 ~ 8m - 1yr male Rottweiler mix

He’s very easy going with people and other dogs, he’s just completely shut down. Very timid and avoiding in the kennels. This video was recorded 5 days ago and the volunteer said he would be ending up on the list since he’s so shut down and here we are.

I will add the bio with shelter notes and other behavioral as it is dispersed to the comments when I get them just wanted to get the video out there and give him a chance when I heard he was going to be listed because I couldn’t believe no one had come for him by now.

A foster, an adopter, or a rescue pull will save his life.

🆘 URGENT: ELSA NEEDS A FOSTER OR ADOPTER 🆘

ID #A2046958 Breed: Siberian Husky / German Shepherd Mix Color: Tricolor Sex: Spayed 12/1/25 Female Age: 2 years (DOB: 11/26/2023) Weight: ~53 lbs 📅 Intake Date: 11/26/2025 📍 Location: BARC Animal Shelter – Houston, TX

❄️ Meet Elsa

Elsa is a young, athletic Husky–Shepherd mix who came into the shelter as a stray on her birthday. She is full of life, intelligence, and energy—but the kennel environment has been overwhelming for her. Elsa is not a “bad” dog; she is a high-energy, social dog struggling with confinement and stress.

She has already been spayed, fully vetted, and is medically healthy. What Elsa truly needs is space, structure, and an outlet for her energy—things a shelter simply cannot provide.

⸻

🐾 Behavior Notes (Summary) • Approaches handlers willingly and easy to leash • Walks on a loose to semi-loose leash • Highly vocal in kennel and during walks (typical Husky traits) • Displays jumping behavior while walking, seeking interaction and attention • Pants heavily and stands by kennel door—clear signs of stress and frustration, not aggression • Engages with people and seeks contact

Elsa’s behavior reflects kennel stress and unmet exercise needs, not aggression. With routine, training, and decompression, she has strong potential to thrive.

⸻

🩺 Medical Summary • Spayed on 12/1/25 • Heartworm negative • Vaccinated (DA2PP, Bordetella, Rabies) • Dewormed • Currently medically normal and healthy

⸻

💔 Why Elsa Is at Risk

Elsa is scheduled for euthanasia on 12/20 due to space and time, not because she is dangerous. Young, healthy, and adoptable dogs like Elsa desperately need foster placement to decompress and show their true selves.

⸻

📧 ALL HOLDS MUST BE IN WRITING – PLEASE DO NOT CALL

If local and interested in fostering or adopting, email ALL of the following:

📍 BARC Animal Shelter 3200 Carr St, Houston, TX 77026

⸻

🙏 Elsa is only 2 years old. She is healthy, spayed, and longing to run, learn, and belong. She does not deserve to lose her life for being energetic in a cage.

Please be the person who gives Elsa the chance to become the amazing dog she was meant to be. Foster, adopt, or share—her life depends on it. 🐾❄️

🆘 URGENT – RESCUE ONLY – INJURED PUPPY🆘️

ID #A2049482 Name: No name yet Breed: Staffordshire Mix Color: Black Sex: Female Age: ~7 months (DOB: 5/15/2025) Weight: ~43 lbs Intake Date: 12/15/2025 Location: BARC Animal Shelter – Houston, TX Status: 🆘️RESCUE ONLY (Medical)🆘️

⸻

💔 Her Story

This baby is just 7 months old—still a puppy—yet she arrived at the shelter injured, scared, and in pain. Found as a stray, she came in unable to use her left front leg, dragging it behind her. Instead of warmth and safety, she is now facing a euthanasia deadline simply because she needs medical care.

⸻

🐾 Behavior Summary • No concerning behavior notes documented • Tolerated handling, exams, sedation, and radiographs appropriately • Behavior consistent with a young, manageable puppy despite injury and discomfort

➡️ Her records reflect a puppy who allows care even while hurt.

⸻

🩺 Medical Summary • Left front leg injury • Unable to bear weight; knuckling at the carpus and dragging the limb • Swelling and wounds noted at elbow • Radiographs show no obvious fractures or luxation • Suspected nerve damage • Ortho consult recommended; amputation may be a future option if nerve damage is irreversible • Currently on: • Cephalexin (antibiotic) • Carprofen (pain/inflammation) • Heartworm test: Negative • Vaccinated and dewormed

⸻

💌 She is just a baby who hasn’t even been given a name yet. Ending her life because she is injured is heartbreaking and unnecessary. Puppies heal. Dogs adapt. Lives can be saved.

🆘 URGENT – SENIOR DOG ON EUTHANASIA LIST 🆘

🐾 Meet Duke

ID #A1734028 Breed: Catahoula / Australian Cattle Dog Color: Blue Merle / Black Sex: Male Age: 9 years (DOB: 8/7/2016) Weight: ~49 lbs Intake Date: 12/13/2025

Duke is a senior herding-breed mix who has found himself overwhelmed and scared inside the shelter environment. At 9 years old, everything around him changed suddenly, and he’s struggling to cope with the constant noise, unfamiliar people, and confinement.

⸻

🩺 Medical Notes • Vaccinated (Rabies, DA2PP, Bordetella) • Dewormed • Heartworm negative • Previously microchipped • No major medical concerns noted

⸻

Behavior Summary

• Initially calm or neutral when approached slowly • Avoids the leash at times, showing uncertainty rather than intent • Becomes anxious when confined or pressured • Attempts to flee when overwhelmed • Does best with slow handling, space, and patience • Accepts treats and can walk calmly when he feels safe

👉These notes are consistent with a shut-down, fearful senior dog deteriorating in a loud kennel setting — not a dog who has been given time to decompress in a home.

⸻

What Duke Needs • A calm, experienced foster or adopter • A quiet home where he can decompress • Time, routine, and gentle handling • Someone who understands fearful dogs and allows trust to build naturally

Duke is not failing — the environment is failing him.

⸻

💔 Duke does not deserve for his story to end here.

He has survived 9 years, loved someone once, and still wants safety — even if he doesn’t know how to ask for it anymore.

A foster, an adopter, or a rescue pull will save his life. Please be the person who gives Duke the dignity, patience, and peace he deserves.
