My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

HANDSOME AS A GREEK GOD

Est. DOB 1/15/23, Weight 60 lbs.

Hey there, everyone! I’m Zeus, a sweet, friendly, fun-loving, and affectionate chocolate-blonde Catahoula/ German Shepherd mix fella with mesmerizing ice-blue eyes. I have the blue eyes and coat colors of a Catahoula but the bushy, curved tail of a GSD. I must admit that I’m a striking head-turner who got my name because I command as much visual attention as the king of the Greek gods. But I’m not just eye candy! No siree! I’m a bundle of joy who’s added extra love and energy to Foster Mom’s life.

Due to my congenial nature, I love making new friends, whether they’re hooman or other dogs. I’m always up for schmoozing at the dog park, a walk in the neighborhood, or playing a game of fetch. I heard Foster Mom tell someone that I’m the smartest dog she’s ever trained. Add my keen intelligence to my eagerness to please and quickness to learn, and it’s no wonder that I’ve been a delight for her to train.

My brother, sister, and I were pets of a guy who unfortunately was evicted from his home and left us behind to fend for ourselves. When our situation was reported to our foster mom, thank heavens she rescued us from living paw-to-mouth on the mean streets of Houston and brought us home with her to foster.

If you’re looking for a loyal, lovable, and playful pup to put a smile on your face and a zing to your adventures, I’m the guy for you. Arrange to meet me today. Once you look into my stunning baby blues and experience my charming personality, you won’t be able to resist taking me home with you.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and we want to be sure that our potential adoptive families have thought about the impact of this decision carefully. To adopt an animal through HOPE, we request that you complete an Adoption Application, a copy of which is available online for cats at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php or for dogs at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. You may fill it out online or print a copy of the application and complete it prior to arriving at an adoption session. This will expedite the adoption process and will also assist our adoption counselors in matching you to a suitable pet.

We at HOPE make every effort to match our foster pets to appropriate homes. If you feel that we are too intrusive, please understand that it is because we care about their welfare.

Fees
All animals are neutered or spayed and have received age appropriate shots prior to being adopted. We ask that you provide a $100 donation for cats and a donation of $150 for dogs when you adopt your new family member from us. This donation helps us in defraying the costs of these and other medical needs of our animals.

Go meet their pets

Mobile adoption sessions are held on the weekends. All adoption sessions run from 12:00 - 4:00 pm at a variety of locations and days as noted on our website http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-locations/. For more information, please contact us at hope@homelesspets.net

More about this rescue

Our mission is to end the homelessness of cats and dogs through foster to adoption, feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return, and education.

HOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVOR (HOPE) is an all-foster, no kill adoption group based in the Houston area.

HOPE covers the cost of general medical expenses for the animals in the program, such as altering, routine vaccinations and treatment for parasites. Our foster families are asked to provide food, shelter and love to the animals for which they care. They receive no payment for the services that they provide. Without them, and the other volunteers who so selflessly do what is necessary to keep HOPE afloat, it would not be possible to run this nonprofit corporation.

One aim of HOPE is to develop a network of area rescue and humane organizations which will facilitate the rescue and placement of a variety of animals. The goal is to never have to turn away an animal in need. By forming a coalition of humane and rescue groups in the Houston area, we could potentially place all animals who need a temporary home until they are placed into a permanent one.
