1. Hank
Say hello to Hank, originally named Pollux when we rescued him in April of 2021. He was one of three dogs who were roaming in East Texas and stopped for a while at a sheep farm. The LGDs protecting the sheep didn't appreciate unknown dogs hanging around, so we were called in to help. We picked up two handsome boys plus a beautiful girl, and we named them Castor, Pollux, and Gemini. We took care of their veterinary needs and put them to work in our pastures. All three dogs were adopted as working livestock guardians. Hank was adopted to protect chickens and other fowl.
Read more about Hank
Pollux looks to be an Anatolian Shepherd mixed with either Akbash or Great Pyrenees. He had a good life for 5 years, but when circumstances changed and the family no longer wanted to keep Pollux, they honored their adoption contract by calling us. Hank is great in our pasture with our Nigerian Dwarf goats and gets along well with the other dogs in the pasture.

2. Oskar
Oskar was surrendered to us by his family when they lost the lease on their farm. They had bought him from a breeder who said he is Anatolian Shepherd mixed with Central Asian Shepherd. Our website doesn't include Central Asian Shepherd as one of the breeds we can choose, probably because the breed is not very common in the USA. Oskar was raised with Boer goats, and since moving to Windsong Ranch, he has been guarding Nigerian Dwarf goats.
Read more about Oskar
Oskar has a bit of an alpha personality with other dogs but is a real sweetheart with people. He can be a bit dog-selective, so if you have other working LGDs, we will need to have a meet & greet to see if he approves. Here, we have tried him with a few different dogs, and he does best with one of our feral LGDs. I think that's because the feral dog has zero interest in getting attention from the humans here, so that means Oskar can get all the love when we're in his pasture, and he just soaks that up.
Oskar has never been exposed to chickens or other livestock. Just goats. He has had an introduction to our longhorn bull, and showed proper respect, which is understandable when you see the size of the bull and his horns!
If Oskar sounds like a good match for you, please complete the application on our website.
3. Robert the Bruce
Robert the Bruce comes from a litter of puppies who were born on a ranch in Central Texas. They were exposed to Boer goats and longhorn cattle from the very beginning. And LOTS of dogs -- the ranch started with a handful of livestock guardian dogs (LGDs), and didn't spay/neuter any of them, so before you know it, he had more than 60 dogs and puppies, all growing up completely feral. Since March 2024, we've been trapping and removing as many as we can, and as of June 2025, we have removed 50 dogs and puppies from this one ranch. More remain, so this is an ongoing project and we won't rest until every dog has been spayed/neutered and vaccinated.
Read more about Robert the Bruce
Robert the Bruce and his siblings were completely feral when they were trapped, and in the beginning, they would just SCREAM when we tried to handle them. Over time, they have learned that humans might not be the worst creatures that ever existed. At Bluebonnet's home base, he has lived in our barn with exposure to goats and barn cats, and of course more livestock guardian dogs.
We don't know which of the adult LGDs on the ranch are his parents, but most of the adults that we have trapped, have weighed at least 90 lbs. Speaking of adults -- the rancher started with Akbash, Anatolian, and Great Pyrenees. Most of the dogs and puppies that we have seen look like full Akbash, Akbash/Anatolian mix or Akbash/Great Pyrenees mix. All of the puppies in this litter are solid white and look like full Akbash pups, but we can't say that with certainty since we don't know which adults are their parents.

5. Gravy
Gravy was rescued and adopted in 2019, and had a good life for several years. Then another dog was added to the family, and after 6+ months of living in peace, the dynamic changed for some reason. Gravy and the new dog just didn't seem to be capable of getting along any more and we can't say why. We agreed that Gravy should come back to Bluebonnet so we could find a new home for her.
Read more about Gravy
She is a very sweet, affectionate dog. She gets along with other dogs, just not with the one new female added to her family. She had lived with other female dogs here before adoption, AND with another female dog in her adopted home. So it's not a same-sex issue. It seems to be specifically these two dogs.
Gravy is house/potty-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained. She's a very easy dog to have around. DNA results show her to be 50% Poodle, 12.5% Boxer, 12.5% Husky, and 25% mix of various breed groups. She seems to be fairly low-shedding and quieter than the Husky part of her DNA would suggest.
If you have a nice quiet home and can give Gravy the retirement she deserves, please submit your application here.
ORIGINAL BIO - 2019
Biscuits and her sister Gravy landed in a small shelter in rural Oklahoma after being picked up as strays. There are several Doodle breeders within an hour's drive of the shelter, and our best guess is that these girls had a good home but somehow got lost. We've looked at lots of photos and read the descriptions for several different types of Doodle, and it's hard to say which variety these girls might be, but they do look more like Doodles than like any AKC breed. One Oklahoma breeder's website has photos of "SwissDoodles" that look similar to these girls; those dogs are bred from a BerneDoodle paired with an AussieDoodle. Another Oklahoma breeder's website has photos of GoldenDoodles with brindle coloring similar to the coats on Biscuits & Gravy. We didn't find an Oklahoma breeder advertising Doodles from German Wire-Haired Pointers, but the wiry texture of their coats makes us think that's a possibility. We can only guess about their breed mix, unless you want to donate a DNA kit so we can find out for sure. :)
We can tell you that personality-wise, Biscuits and Gravy remind us very much of some Doodle pups we rescued last year. They are sweet, affectionate, full of energy, very playful, and just all around good-tempered dogs. They get along with other dogs and seem well-socialized with people.
If you would like to meet either of these sweethearts, please complete the application on our website at www.bluebonnetrescue.org.

6. Clover
Clover and his siblings Lucky, Stevie, and Russo (3 boys and a girl), known as the "Lucky Charms" puppies, were rescued from the ranch in Gatesville that has been the focus of so much of our work over the past several years. They are most likely an Akbash/Great Pyrenees mix and are currently being fostered in the Austin area. They get along with other dogs and are learning to respect the resident cats, and they are getting slow, careful introductions to farm life and livestock. They are also learning about crates and soft cushy beds in the house, so they could be adopted as family pets or as future LGDs. Submit your application and let us know you're interested in one of these pups.

Adopting a dog in Colbert
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
