Howdy partner! This happy fella is TEX, our Pet of the Week with It Takes a Village.

I think you'll agree that not every dog matches its name - but for some reason, I feel like TEX is the perfect fit for this guy. He just seems like a happy-go-lucky kind of doggy, just like what I would expect from a human named TEX. By the way, our friends at ITV tell us that TEX has a great attitude and smile just like this all day long.

TEX is a 3-year-old who was rescued from one of ITV's partner shelters. He is new to ITV and is not quite ready for adoption yet - that means TEX needs a foster home for the time being.

If you think you might be interested in fostering TEX, please go ahead and fill out an online foster application. Once approved, you can set up a meet & greet to see if you and TEX is a good fit for each other.

All of the animals at ITV are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, spayed or neutered, and FIV/FeLV-tested.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!

31 Dogs Seized from Unlicensed Puppy Mill in Southern IL

The rescue is asking that you do not contact them regarding the dogs as they are not adoptable at this time. They are asking for monetary support to assist with vet bills and care. To give, donate online thru Paypal or Facebook.
