FROM LAPS FOSTER HOME
When a dog is being fostered in a good loving home it
begins to know what a caring affectionate family feels
like. In order for any dog to become a loving pet, it
must first have experience and opportunity to be
around a human family. This experience is even more
important for a shelter dog and that is why it is a
prodigious idea to foster them. Mr. and Mrs. Gutierrez
have opened their hearts and home to many shelter pets
and in return have been rewarded with the satisfaction
of helping provide a second chance to those in need.
When asked what kind of audience would be the
appropriate for fostering an animal they replied,
“Those who are open minded”. And that is completely
correct. Dogs need to be treated with care in many
different ways. Also, a foster dog learns to get along
with the other dogs. Their pets did not seem to mind
the new family member at all. They all got along pretty
well. They seemed very happy, especially Mr. and
Mrs. Gutierrez!
Shelter dogs are special living creatures. For them to
get the opportunity of a second chance in life we, as
humans, should try to the best of our abilities to give
them the life they truly deserve. That is why there
should be more foster parents willing to foster these
dogs... to help them become a loving pet.
At this current time the Gutierrez family is fostering
two dogs; T-bone, a Sharpie mix, and Precioso, a
special needs Shih Tzu.
This is
Precioso; He

blind, he

HAPPY TAILS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Cleo was surrendered to LAPS the
beginning of August 2012 by a citizen
of Laredo that had noticed she was
wandering the neighborhood for a few
weeks. After no one had come looking
for her, LAPS began the process of
vaccination, quarantine, and shortly
after she was spayed and ready for
adoption. Cleo had been to many
Adoption events at PETCO searching
for her forever home. Her lucky day
arrived November 24 when Mr. Oliver
Saenz, fell in love with CLEO. Even
though Cleo was a bit hesitant she
warmed up quite quickly. Cleo now
has a Home, and a sister Gucci. “She
is nothing but wonderful, and I love
her sooo Much!” Mr. Saenz, Cleo’s
Dad, had stated.
