Catniss LaRue for El Rey Fido - because big girls deserve to be Fiesta Royalty, too!
Hello Fiesta Fans! I am Catniss LaRue, a mini sheepadoodle who loves hockey, short walks and ice cream.
I am participating in this year's El Rey Fido campaign in honor of my fur sister, Cookie Ramirez, who was adopted from the San Antonio Humane Society in 2008 and crossed the rainbow bridge last year. Cookie welcomed me into her home and I miss her greatly. I hope every home gets to have a Cookie in their lives, which is why I am hoping - WITH YOUR HELP! - to reach my fundraising goal!
My dream is to represent all the big girls out there who just want to wear a crown and be treated like royalty.
Please consider helping me reach my goal ... with love and tail-wags
Biscuit, a handsome 1-year-old Retriever Mix, was brought to us as a stray at the beginning of March. Upon his arrival, our Medical Team examined his health and discovered that he was suffering from Elbow Incongruency, a condition where the bones of the elbow joint don’t align properly. This condition can cause severe pain, affecting their ability to walk and stand properly.
Thanks to the incredible team at our Leeu Naylor Medical Building, Biscuit was able to undergo surgery to correct the issue and begin a carefully managed recovery plan. During his two-month medical stay, he made remarkable progress! Now, his loving forever family is giving him the extra-special care he needs to finish healing—so before long, he’ll be back to running, jumping, and playing like himself again.
Meet the adorable and tenacious Bungee! Bungee, a 5-month-old Terrier mix, was found as a stray and brought in by a kind member of the community. Upon intake, our medical team noticed that both of his front legs were badly injured. This prompted an X-ray, which revealed they were both broken, meaning a long road to recovery for little Bungee.
Bungee underwent surgery at our Leeu Naylor Medical Building, where he received plates and pins in both front limbs to ensure he could have a full range of mobility once healed. Bungee was such a resilient pup throughout his strict recovery, where he had to spend lots of time resting in his kennel with splints and bandages on his legs.
Even throughout his recovery, Bungee’s bright personality never faded. True to his name, this energetic pup loves to bounce around and spread joy wherever he goes. Now healed and thriving, he’s putting his strong legs to good use—filling his new forever home with endless fun and playfulness.
