My story

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

Hi! I'm Morris! I'm very active and adventurous and am looking for a family that is too! I love to explore and play outside - I'm happiest off leash when I can run like the wind! I love running through the woods, rolling around in fields of high grass and chasing waves along the lake shore. I'm a strong swimmer and love going for rides in boats, canoes and paddle boards. I have a TON of energy, but as long as I get a few hours of exercise a day, I am pretty chill and can play independently with toys or with other dogs, so if you have a nice big yard and another dog or two that loves to play, that would be oh-so-great!

In the evenings, when I'm sleepy I love to cuddle up and sleep with my humans. Technically, I am kennel trained, potty trained and leash trained - and will do all that when we gotta, but I'm a free spirit at heart. I'm still teething, and need lots of chews to keep my chompers occupied.

I'm a chocolate lab/pit mix and will likely grow up to be a large size dog. Thanks for checking me out! I can't wait to meet and start loving my forever family!

Morris is a male Labrador Retriever mix with an estimated date of birth of 8/27/23.

We will contact you via email with approvals and/or requests should we need additional information. When we are able to reopen for adoptions, it will be by appointment only for pre-approved adopters with good vet references.

We will continue to do 3rd and 4th vaccinations for any previously adopted puppies from 10am-12pm on Saturdays at the adoption center.
Please follow instructions upon your arrival there.

You can find answers to many questions on our web site and within the bio of each
animal on their individual web page.

boarding, vaccinations, heartworm and flea prevention, and any other medicines or medical

More about this rescue

K-9 Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, all-breed canine rescue organization established in February 2012.

We are a rescue group for shelter dogs who run out of time. In other words, we are not a shelter, have no permanent facilities, and are not equipped to take in dogs from the public. We select dogs from the greater Houston "kill" animal control facilities who would not have made it out alive. (Don't worry! If you need help rehoming a dog, there are other non-profit groups who can assist you.)

No one involved in K-9 Angels receives ANY compensation. Our volunteers are compassionate animal welfare advocates who contribute their time, skills, and finances to shelter homeless dogs in Houston. To save the lives of the abandoned, abused, and stray dogs who end up in Houston's animal control facilities, K-9 Angels relies completely on adoption fees, donations, and our amazing volunteers.

K-9 Angels covers ALL costs for dogs currently in the program. During intake, every dog gets a microchip and is spayed or neutered (if old enough for the procedure). If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. We fund all medical care necessary, even if we have to raise extra Helping Paw funds for special cases! From the time they enter the program to the time they graduate, K-9 Angels dogs are kept up-to-date on all vaccines (DHPP, bordetella, rabies) as well as heartworm and flea prevention.

We commit to K-9 Angels dogs until they are adopted.
Our volunteer foster homes patiently provide safety, love, and integration into a household environment - a key to successful adoptions. The biographies, pictures, and even videos from foster homes are important "pup-licilty" for our dogs! We are always in need of additional foster homes.

Our goal is a "fur-ever" home! We take every precaution not to contribute to the dog overpopulation problem here in Houston. Applications are processed according to our adoption policies to insure the best situation for our dogs and the families who adopt them.
