Obie (now Poppy Tart)

8/10/25 AWESOME ADOPTION ALERT! From the foster momma: Sweet Obie, now known as the delightfully adorable Poppy Tart, has found her forever treat of a home! 🎉

Poppy Tart hit the jackpot with Jeff and Holly– long-time supporters, previous adopters and all-around superhero humans. She’s now living her best pup life alongside her new big bro and fellow Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue alumnus, Leo!

From zoomies in the yard to snuggle sessions on the couch, this dynamic duo is already melting hearts and making memories. We see tail-wagging adventures in their future!

7/24/25 INTRODUCTION: Please welcome Obie to our rescue family! For five years, Obie lived as a cherished princess in the only home she had ever known. But recently, she sensed something was different. She heard the hushed conversations, saw the packed bags, and felt the shift. Her beloved dad was moving into hospice care… and there would be no one left to care for her.

Scared and unsure, Obie didn’t understand what was happening. Her dad, with a heavy heart, reached out to the local shelter. He made sure they knew everything about her—how special she was, how much she was loved. He filled out the surrender forms, and a date was set.
But Obie was lucky. The shelter staff saw the love in her story and immediately contacted rescue and asked for our help. They knew this princess deserved a soft landing.

Now, Obie is safe. She’s up to date on her vaccinations, spayed, potty trained, crate trained, and great with other dogs. She’s a little shy, often wearing a “deer in the headlights” expression, like she’s still trying to figure out, “Who are you and what’s going on?”

She waited patiently in the office for her new friend Ty to pick her up, quietly observing, gently curious.

All Obie needs now is a microchip and a quick heartworm test, and she’ll be ready to find her new home—a place where she can once again be the princess she was born to be.
