Rover's Makeovers! Rover Oaks Pet Resort, Taking Homeless Pups from Bow to Wow!

The pup-tastic grooming staff at Rover Oaks Pet Resort in Katy are helping animals from Citizens for Animal Protection (CAP) go from bow to wow by providing weekly doggie makeovers for lucky CAP dogs each Wednesday. The pups also receive a free grooming certificate from Rover Oaks Katy so their new adoptive parents can continue to keep them looking their best! 

This week we have two darling terrier mixes...Von Ruffles, a five year old silky or Australian terrier mix, and Ashton, an eight month old cairn terrier mix. Both pups were as sweet as they could be, and both were found as strays so we don't know much about them other than that. 

Meet Von Ruffles Before His Rover’s Makeover! 

Von Ruffles was found near Greenhouse Road and I-10. He is an active little guy, but quiet and good for the grooming staff, just needs a little practice having his feet groomed.

Check Out Von Ruffles NOW!

Meet Ashton Before Her Rover’s Makeover!

Ashton has a little more to say, particularly if you are not paying attention to her. She came out of her travel crate and buried her head into the groomer's shoulder. When she was not being cute and cuddly, she was being cute and playful...very interested in the other dogs and standing like a little meerkat in play mode. She was very good for the groomer.

Check Out Ashton NOW!

Ashton, Von Ruffles and many other wonderful dogs, cats and small animals are waiting patiently for loving homes at Citizens for Animal Protection, 17555 Katy Freeway (near I-10 and Barker-Cypress). You can also visit them on the web at www.cap4pets.org, but as there are many more animals at the shelter than are listed on the site, it is definitely worth a visit. Hurry over to CAP...your new best friend is waiting to meet you!

Only one pup ready for their close up this week...Mr. Fred. Check him out BEFORE his Rover's Makeover!

Meet Fred (gotta love a dog named Fred!)...a one and a half year old Yorkie mix, found as a stray on Detroit Avenue downtown. He is a cute and sweet little guy who needs a little practice getting used to the grooming process (who can blame him...it does not appear he was ever groomed in his life!) but is otherwise a good boy who deserves a great home. He has a cute little snaggle-tooth smile and adorable ears! Fred's stray hold is up on August 10, at which time he will be looking for a better family who will take care of him and keep him safe.

This week our makeover team went to work on two horribly matted little pups...shih tzu mix Charlie who has an adopter waiting for him, and Little Girl a spaniel girl who will need to undergo heartworm treatment before she is available for adoption in three or four months.

Meet Charlie BEFORE His Rover's Makeover!

The grooming process was very uncomfortable for Charlie, but he is a good and sweet little boy who will do fine with just a little practice. Since the grooming staff was able to de-mat instead of shaving his tail, they gave it a little blue highlight (all natural dyes, harmless for dogs, which will quickly wash out).

Check Out Charlie NOW!

Meet Little Girl BEFORE Her Rover's Makeover!


The little girl was an absolute angel even though she, too, was horribly matted...and underneath one of the mats on her neck was a deep wound.

Check Out Little Girl NOW!

Even though these two babies are not available for adoption, many other wonderful dogs, cats and small animals ARE waiting patiently for wonderful homes at Citizens for Animal Protection shelter, 17555 Katy Freeway (near the intersection of I-10 and Barker-Cypress). This weekend, August 4 - 5, CAP is featuring 50% off adoption fees for all dogs and cats...a "Certified, Pre-Owned" event sponsored by West Houston Subaru. So, hurry over to CAP...your new best friend is waiting to meet you!

This week's makeovers feature Mara the sheltie/heeler mix and Scribbles the wire fox terrier mix. Neither pup needed much in the way of making over, just a good bath and a little trim and clean up.

 Meet Mara BEFORE Her Rover's Makeover!


Mara is about three years old, with beautiful coloring. She came to CAP from another area shelter, where she originally came in as a stray. She is sweet, quiet, friendly and well-behaved. She did manage to scrape her nose raw, we think from trying to "bury" treats or food in her room. Mara was good for the grooming staff, just needs some practice getting used to being trimmed around her neck.

Check Out Mara NOW!

Meet Scribbles BEFORE Her Rover's Makeover!

Scribbles came to CAP as an owner surrender, turned in because they had too many pets. She is about 2 years old and very scared in the shelter environment. Although she was also very scared for grooming, she behaved very nicely and is a sweet and quiet little girl who deserves a great family.

 Check Out Scribbles NOW!

Scribbles, Mara and many other wonderful dogs, cats and small animals are waiting patiently for wonderful homes at Citizens for Animal Protection, 17555 Katy Freeway (I-10 at Barker-Clodine, near Barker-Cypress, click here for a map and driving directions).
