More about the shelter
The Trinity Girls Awareness Program, or GAP Club, is an organization, which not only focuses on girls' issues, but also makes them aware of their community and hopefully makes them better students and citizens. As part of the community awareness, we have been the official sponsor of the Euless Animal Shelter for the past six years. It is our goal to help the shelter adopt pets and find forever homes or fosters so they will not be put down. We do this through networking, pet adoption sites, and raising funds to lower the cost of spaying/neutering, in addition to vaccinating the shelter pets for parvo and distemper. We have also helped with heartworm treatment and various other medical costs of animals in need. Our sponsors visit the shelter at least once a week to update pictures, shots, and check on the dogs and cats. We take the GAP girls twice a month so they can volunteer and understand why we sponsor pets and have fund-raises. The shelter's euthanasia rate has dropped dramatically since we have been working with them. We owe a lot of this to networking and the internet.
I personally get a lot of satisfaction out of working with the shelter and the animals because the animals can't help themselves and they seem so genuinely grateful when you give them even just the littlest bit of attention and love. The best feeling is when you see a family or single person find that "perfect" pet that they have been looking for and the animal has found a wonderful forever home!
Adopters must complete an adoption contract and be approved by a GAP representative or the foster parent before adoption. All dogs are required to be put on or continue their heartworm preventative and are highly encouraged to be on flea preventative.
Adoption fees from the Euless Animal Shelter are: male dogs & cats = $60, female dogs and cats = $85. Male puppies under 4months $125, female puppies under 4months $150 to cover all puppy vaccine series, deworming, and neutering. Adoption fees for animals in foster: male dogs = $100, female dogs = $125 (this includes heart worm testing in addition to the vaccines and neutering). Cats in foster are $60 for males and $85 for females. If an animal has a different adoption fee, it will be listed on their specific adoption page.
About Mia
Distance: 1,146 Miles
Mia is a SUPER sweet approximately one and a half year old 30 lb. border collie/rat terrier mix dog with the personality of an angel. She is muscular, yet petite, young, very sweet, very smart and an absolute LOVE BUG. She is extremely well behaved, housebroken and kenneled trained and Mia will ‘go potty’ on command!! She is perfect in the house by herself (she does have a doggie door), doesn’t chew anything and also sleeps with us all night, excusing herself during the night to ‘go potty’. She loves cuddling with you in bed and enjoys some playing in the morning.
She LOVES going to the dog park and runs and barks and runs and barks at the other dogs. She is a border mix so she has a lot of energy. She goes to the dog park every day with her foster mom to get some of that energy out. She races at top speed chasing dogs outside the fence line, birds, drones, anything that is moving, she is a bullet to try and get it. Mia would truly love to have a family with another very active dog or a daily trip to the dog park to run and play. Because of her energy level, her wonderful agility, ability to jump high and desire to please, her foster mom thinks she would be a fantastic agility dog!! She loves chasing other dogs and being chased and playing with the other dogs. If you have an active, full of energy pup looking for a friend, she might be perfect for you. She does great with both small and larger dogs. She likes to fetch in the house and will often put the toy in your lap or between your legs to encourage you to throw it. But at the dog park she is all about the other dogs. She is completely chill at home, but really needs some high energy chasing/playing time to use up some of her border collie power!!
She listens very well and will be easy to train too as she wants to please! She has been going to obedience school and knows how to sit patiently for her dinner, she also knows sits, heel, down, and stay. She has four perfectly socked feet, a smidge of white at the tip of her tail, and sweet and intelligent eyes. She is fully grown and weighs in at about 30 lbs. She is so funny as she can fall asleep standing up. LOL! She is absolutely lovely, young, good energy without being annoying, loves everyone and would be happy with a family of her own. Mia is an absolute doll!! Please come and meet Mia! For information contact Lisa at 817-707-3894 or lisacassell@yahoo.com
