Not much is known about Rowdy, but he is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.We found Rowdy currently being cared for by the folks at PAWS in Woodville, Texas. Here's a little about them...
They are currently working to find a place to call their own and are actively seeking land to house their shelter. If you, or someone you know from the Jefferson/Hardin/Tyler County (TX) area, would be interested in helping us realize their dream, please contact them.
They are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with tax exempt status from the IRS, so donations of land will be tax-deductible at the end of the year. They have placed many animals utilizing their foster program. Just imagine what we could accomplish as a community with a central shelter facility!

Greyhound racing is nearing the finish line in Wisconsin.
Dairyland Greyhound Park, in Kenosha — the last operating track in the state – announced Tuesday it will close its doors after racing ends Dec. 31.
Dairyland was one of five Wisconsin tracks that opened after a 1987 amendment to the state constitution allowed for a state-run lottery and legalized parimutuel betting. The others closed earlier, unable to compete with the state’s tribal casino offerings that began to emerge in the 1990s.
According to the Kenosha News, the 19-year-old track has lost $17 million over the last seven years.
Dairyland has remained in operation in recent years with the hope that the Menominee Nation wins federal and state approval to develop a $1 billion casino complex on the site. The tribe is now in litigation to overturn a January denial of the project.
Closing the track will put about 180 people out of work, and, track officials say, leave the 900 dogs that race at the facility in need of homes.

Adopting a dog through your local animal shelter or rescue organization is the best way to combat the greedy puppy mill industry. Please don’t succumb to a pet store puppy when there are so many rescue dogs available, all of them deserving, loving and in desperate need of a forever home.
Make adoption your first option!
Flopsy is from a puppy mill that was "downsizing". She is between 2 and 3 yrs old, best guess, and has some friendly attention. She is shy with strangers, but once knows you, she is very affectionate.Flopsy was named because her ears do not stand up, they "flop over". She is turning out to be very playful and fun loving. Her rescuers have had her spayed and she is ready to go. I bet she would love a trip to South Carolina for a vacation with you and stay in a nice myrtle beach condo rental!
We found Flopsy currently being cared for by OzWescue of Kansas in Topeka, Kansas.
