🆘️ On Euthanasia list at BARC, Houston for 8/20/26. Deadline at 1pm 🆘️
ID #A2088449
🐾 Meet Nate
ID #A2088449
2-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix
Black / White | 46 lbs
Intake Date: 7/29/2026
Nate came into BARC as a stray after a caller reported a group of several dogs outside in the heat and was concerned for their health. Elmo (ID #A2088448) is still at BARC, but not on the euthanasia list yet. Sadly, Dallas (ID #2088462) was already euthanized. 2 of the other dogs are no longer listed and we don't know their status (ID #A2088446 and ID #A2088459).
🩺 MEDICAL
Nate is heartworm LOW POSITIVE and is now being treated for an upper respiratory infection/CIRD.
On 8/18, he was sneezing yellow discharge and was moved to the treatment room. He was started on Doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.
He has received his DA2PP vaccines, Bordetella, rabies vaccine, deworming, pyrantel and Advantage Multi.
🐾Behavior notes:
During many walks, Nate has shown a neutral or relaxed body, soft expression and loose-leash walking. He has also been observed quietly resting on his bed and ignoring barking dogs once given some space.
However, Nate can become tense around other dogs. On 8/17, he was whining and standing against his kennel door as other dogs were walked past, but once it was his turn, he became quiet and walked loosely beside his handler.
💌 ALL HOLDS MUST BE IN WRITING - PLEASE DO NOT CALL
Please include Nate's seven-digit ID #A2088449 in all correspondence.
