T-Bone came to the Sanctuary in June, 2003.  He was reported to already be about 9 years old which is pushing the outer age range for a X-large breed dog.  He had been the spoiled housebaby of a lady in Oklahoma.  When she passed away, her family tried to provide for T-Bone but T-Bone developed a taste for the family's ferrets & that was a no-no.  T-Bone needed a safe place to live out his golden years with playmates & lots of room to run.  Animal Angels seemed like the best choice for this senior boy who had nowhere else to go.

T-Bone is one of the sweetest doggies we could ever have in residence.  He is just a big, ol' baby with a giant heart of gold.  He really deserved a "furever home" of his own to spend the rest of his days in.  Therefore, it was with great excitement when we received an application for one of our Angels & during the conversation, the lady revealed that she was also interested in T-Bone.  Soon the family was on the way to meet the dogs & decide who would be their new family member.

T-Bone now lives in Abilene.  He has a BIG fenced yard when he wants to go out to play but more importantly, he will once again be the spoiled housedog that he used to be.  He will have grandbabies to hug him sometimes & the love of a family to make his golden years as good as it gets.

We look forward to lots of pictures & updates from his new home & will post them when available.

UPDATE .....  T-Bone's mom has already sent a lot of pictures from their trip home.  She says:

After we left you, we drove to Mineral Wells and introduced T to my brother and his family.  T-Bone met all the humans and the five dogs!  He was a well mannered guest, and enjoyed meeting my brothers 5 dogs.   He did great on the drive home to Abilene.

When we turned onto the first "neighborhood" street we see as we enter our area of town  T immediately perked up, began looking all around at the houses, and began making noises!  The more houses he saw, the more excited he became.  Charlie and I were watching him, talking to him, and wondering what in the world was wrong.  But, he didn't seem upset, he seemed excited!

Carole..........he recognized HOUSES.  He knew he used to live in one!  It was as if the world he had once came from, was dawning on him all over again.  As we turned into our driveway........he was almost beside himself.  He knew exactly what a house was..........and took to it immediately!  We walked him through the house, letting him discover it at his own time.

NOTE: Animal Angels Sanctuary has large communal pens & buildings in a country setting.  T-Bone has not been in a house since he came to us .. so you can understand why he was so excited to see city homes again.
