My story

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

NEVER MET A STRANGER

Appr. DOB 7/19/15, Weight 43 lb.

Meet Charlie, a sweet senior dog with a heart full of love and a beautiful chocolate brown coat. Charlie may be in his golden years, but he still embraces life with a wagging tail and a joyful spirit. Despite coming from a difficult hoarding situation, Charlie's resilience shines through in his gentle and loving nature. He’s always up for a quick walk, a cozy nap, or just soaking up the sunshine in the yard. Charlie enjoys hiding in the bushes and finding treasures there.

We believe Charlie was crated most of his life and goes into his crate willingly. But he has missed out on many things. He was never taught commands and is really not doing well with trying to learn them now. Charlie becomes very excited about being in the house and loves to explore. Charlie checked out okay at the vet health-wise. He is heart-worm negative and on monthly preventative.

This old soul is looking for a quiet, loving home where he can enjoy his retirement surrounded by kindness and care. If you're searching for a loyal companion with a heart as big as his personality, Charlie is ready to fill your home with warmth and happiness.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and we want to be sure that our potential adoptive families have thought about the impact of this decision carefully. To adopt an animal through HOPE, we request that you complete an Adoption Application, a copy of which is available online for cats at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php or for dogs at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. You may fill it out online or print a copy of the application and complete it prior to arriving at an adoption session. This will expedite the adoption process and will also assist our adoption counselors in matching you to a suitable pet.

We at HOPE make every effort to match our foster pets to appropriate homes. If you feel that we are too intrusive, please understand that it is because we care about their welfare.

Fees
All animals are neutered or spayed and have received age appropriate shots prior to being adopted. We ask that you provide a $100 donation for cats and a donation of $150 for dogs when you adopt your new family member from us. This donation helps us in defraying the costs of these and other medical needs of our animals.

Go meet their pets

Mobile adoption sessions are held on the weekends. All adoption sessions run from 12:00 - 4:00 pm at a variety of locations and days as noted on our website http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-locations/. For more information, please contact us at hope@homelesspets.net

More about this rescue

Our mission is to end the homelessness of cats and dogs through foster to adoption, feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return, and education.

HOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVOR (HOPE) is an all-foster, no kill adoption group based in the Houston area.

HOPE covers the cost of general medical expenses for the animals in the program, such as altering, routine vaccinations and treatment for parasites. Our foster families are asked to provide food, shelter and love to the animals for which they care. They receive no payment for the services that they provide. Without them, and the other volunteers who so selflessly do what is necessary to keep HOPE afloat, it would not be possible to run this nonprofit corporation.

One aim of HOPE is to develop a network of area rescue and humane organizations which will facilitate the rescue and placement of a variety of animals. The goal is to never have to turn away an animal in need. By forming a coalition of humane and rescue groups in the Houston area, we could potentially place all animals who need a temporary home until they are placed into a permanent one.
