My story

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

Tasha was found roaming the streets in Kingwood, TX. She was so skinny and mangey and has come a very long way since she was found. She is currently not good with other dogs; she is very reactive. She chases stray cats, she doesn't chase her fosters cats, but we wouldn't trust her unsupervised with cats. She seems to be okay with kids but needs further exposure to them for us to see what her ideal home looks like. She is perfect as far as pottty-training. She will bark or whine to go outside and has had zero accidents. She also does wonderful when in her kennel, she does bark but not constantly. Tasha has a medium energy level. She loves long walks but is heartworm positive (and going through treatment), so she gets winded quickly in our Texas weather. She would do best in a cooler climate. She has no issues guarding humans, she is very gentle with taking treats as well. She also has no leash reactivity. She is a puller but with a proper harness, she does much better. Tasha would make a wonderful companion for a family with no other pets. This may change as we continue to work with her, but for now she should be the only pet. Tasha was very pampered at one point in her life, she gets in the tub for her baths, and she allows you to brush her teeth, clean her ears and honestly do anything you need to do. She is very deserving of her own home!

More about this rescue

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.
