My story

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

They may have found me on the streets, but I know I am meant for a home. Named after the god of sun and light, I bring nothing but bright smiles with me everywhere I go, whether I do the smiling myself, or be my goofy self to put one on one of two-legged friends faces. I love to play with my doggy-mates, although those smaller cat-like guys and I haven't hit it off too well. Toys and food are some of my favorite things, and I have to say adventures are where I thrive. If I sound like a goof you might want to take home and show the good-life, come meet me and I promise I'll make it worth your while.

More about this rescue

The Humane Society of Harris County was founded in 1991 and has continually serviced Harris County and the surrounding area for 24 years. HSHC currently provides shelter and adoption opportunities for homeless dogs and cats though a small network of foster homes and a small kennel on loan to us by a Harris County resident. Just over 600 animals have found new, permanent homes since 2008. In addition, we provide numerous outreach programs including:
• HSHC Pet Food Pantry, which is run in coordination with the Harris County Meals-on-Wheels program. The program has distributed over 4,000 pounds of food since its inception.
• “Tag You’re It”, a pet identification initiative that encourages residents to properly identify their pets by offering low cost microchips and tags. Over 200 resident dogs and cats have been identified through this program.
• Dog Obedience Classes to help local residents train their dogs and overcome behavior problems that cause owners to relinquish their animals to shelters.
• “Helping Hounds” a program run in cooperation with the Muscogee County Youth Development Campus pairing youth offenders with shelter dogs. The program is built on the premise that dogs and people together can become the catalyst for a positive change in each other’s lives.
