Gusher ...
After being lost or abandoned in a rural area, Gusher survived by scrounging for food wherever he could. He became literally covered with fleas & ticks trying to find water and stay cool in the 100° San Antonio heat. Local police officers brought Gusher to us, hoping we could save his life. He has thrived over the months he's been at the rescue. Gusher is a healthy, happy boy you'd never guess to be 5 yrs old. He loves all people and does great with all the dogs he's met. Crate & leash trained, Gusher is going to be a great addition to any family.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
