My story

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

Apollo is a 2-year-old 24 lb Jack Russell Terrier mix. He was purposely hit by a car in Cleveland, TX and sustained a L6 vertebral fracture. He needed spinal stabilization surgery and has recovered beautifully. The vets were not sure he would have a successful recovery, but he’s proved them wrong! When he was found, he was bloodied up and unable to move on the side of the road. He’s a lucky pup because if his fracture were any lower, he would’ve been paralyzed and could’ve possibly had a different outcome. Apollo is a funny guy that will keep a smile on your face. He`s been through so much in his short life and deserves a home that will spoil him the way he was meant to be spoiled!

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.
