For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Cranberry was a local shelter save in November. She was injured with a femur fracture that she had surgery on. She was adopted in January but returned to us in September for no fault of her own. Here's a little about her: she LOVES other dogs and wants to play non-stop. She met cats recently and did very well with them! She's good with kids but may knock small children over. She has been trained to "off," but she gets excited and forgets. This would be the same for elderly or anyone that uses a walker or cane. She would heel her mom's walker. She is always under your feet, so she'll easily accidentally trip you if you're not careful. She has been trained to use bells at the back door and she'll ring them to potty, however she may have accidents if nobody responds to bells right away. She'll "crate" or "kennel" when told. She also eats in her kennel. Cranberry loves her food, so she wants all of it (and will guard food/treats). She is high energy most of the time. She's great on a leash! She wants to play with everyone so even though she's trained to sit, down, and off, she's still a puppy. She gets excited and can easily pull you down with her strength if you're not playing attention to correct her. She has no aggression or separation anxiety. She loves to cuddle with you and is the best cuddler. She loads and unloads in the back seat of cars easily and is a great car rider. She also knows "treats" and "cookie" too. She's a very smart girl! She was DNA tested and is a German Shepherd, Husky, Lab, Australian Cattle Dog + Beagle mix!

ThisIsHouston is a rescue dedicated to helping those who cannot ask for help!
The inundation of graphic dog posts and images on social media seems to have rendered a lot of people helpless. The bystander effect has grabbed a hold of our city and it isn’t loosening its grip. Most people are not aware of the stray overpopulation problem going on in this city. The others don’t help because somebody else will. Well, we are ‘somebody else’. We have no super powers. We have no magic formula or secret that gives us the ability to do what we do. We are just an example of what can be done when people come together for a common cause and leave egos at the door. Why do we do this? Because we choose to. Because we are tired of dogs suffering needlessly. And because we refuse to live in a world where there is a choice not to help.
