Captain Jack and Skippy Jones adopted together at PetSmart in Balcones Woods!
Captain Jack and Skippy got to leave New Hope together last brothers, but that is not how their stories began...
Captain Jack came to New Hope on July 3 at approximately four weeks old. A member of our team was at a local shelter to pick up a dog when she noticed that he and his two littermates were not thriving. Having entered the shelter at only three weeks old, they were still at an age when they needed bottle-feeding and help transitioning to eating on their own.
By the time they reached us, two were critically fragile. Despite round-the-clock feedings, fluids and supportive care for the entire litter, Captain Jack was the only one to survive, but now he was alone.
Skippy Jones entered that same shelter alone at five weeks old. And joined our rescue mid July.
Oh, this photo gives the ending all the heart it needs. You can actually see their new family, so the copy doesn’t have to strain for emotion.
I’d end it:
Captain Jack and Skippy were initially fostered separately, but later moved into the same foster home so each could have a kitten friend. They quickly became inseparable.
Now they get to spend their lives together—and they have three human siblings to grow up with, too. We could not be happier for this entire family!
And yes: the gray kitten is visibly snuggled into one child while Skippy is being proudly held by another. It’s a genuinely wonderful adoption photo.

From rags to rhinestones.
Dolly entered a shelter severely matted and needed an emergency medical shave. She arrived to our care covered in fleas, full of parasites, and suffering from flaky, skin that still had flea dirt and mystery debris from being matted so long. She was under weight and her tiny body dropped from 4.7 lbs to 3.9 pounds after she was shaved. She sadly showed the unmistakable signs of having been used repeatedly for breeding, and a nonviable pregnancy was discovered just yesterday during her during her spay.
Those days are over for Dolly.
Estimated to be 3 years old, Dolly is a tiny dog with a huge personality and even bigger ears. She high-step prances everywhere she goes, struts her stuff, and knows exactly how to work a room. She is ready for a life filled with soft blankets, good food, ridiculous outfits, regular spa days, plenty of photo shoots—and, of course, people who will love her as much as she loves them.
She's 4.22 pounds of Yorkie, but not an obnoxious barker or a dog that gets under your feet. She has never met a stranger and is fearless with dogs of all sizes. If you ask whether she is ready for dinner or needs to go outside, she dances on her back legs. But Dolly’s flex? At just 4.22 pounds, she shops for harnesses in the kitten section.
At bedtime, her foster mom wraps her up like a tiny empanada with only her nose sticking out.
Dolly lives beautifully with other dogs but would be just as happy as an only pet with a devoted human. She can also live with a confident, dog-savvy cat—but she has selected Chilly, one of the resident cats, as her favorite to pursue. Chilly then chases her back, at which point Dolly screams in terror —apparently shocked by a plot twist she invites into her own life day after day after day.
