Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Hey there, everyone! I’m Willie, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate Cattle Dog/ Black Lab mix who loves spending quality time close by my hoomans. In my quiet way, I want to be wherever Foster Mom is. I’m sociable with people who want to engage, but I don't annoy or demand hooman attention.
I’m a handsome dude who’s as fantastic on the inside as I look on the outside! I’m playful when it’s playtime, but I settle down and happily chill out at Foster Mom’s feet while she reads. I quietly sleep at the end of her bed and snuggle next to her thigh on the sofa as we binge together on Animal Planet and Netflix. I walk well on a leash and really enjoy long walks in the neighborhood so I can sniff and explore new things. I’m smart and eager to please, so I’m easily trained and catch on quickly.
I’ve got the compact build and head of an Cattle Dog, but my short, smooth black coat with white locket and vest indicate that Lab blood is probably also coursing through my veins. Since Cattle Dogs are herding dogs, we’re in our groove when we’re given a job to do that engages us both mentally and physically. With our boundless energy and keen intelligence, we excel at dog sports like agility and make excellent running partners. To keep us out of mischief, our hoomans should avoid allowing us to get bored!
A Good Samaritan found me as a stray who was probably dumped on the side of the busy Grand Parkway in front of the PetSmart in Richmond. She posted on FaceBook that she had found me, but no one responded. After bouncing around to several homes for my first few days post-rescue, I was ecstatic when my future foster mom stepped up to the plate and agreed to foster me. I haven't been tested around kids, but I'm probably young and gentle enough to live happily in a home with small children. I'm the only dog in my foster home, but I'm friendly when I meet other dogs on my walks (and tug on my leash when I see a cat that I want to chase).
Now I’m ready to find my forever home. If you’re looking for a true-blue loyal buddy who’s an all-around great companion dog, I’m your man! Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!

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.

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.
