My story

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

Hi, there! I'm Toshi. I'm just a handsome, good boy looking for a home for the holidays. I love everyone! So much so that I sometimes get a little carried away with my human and furry friends alike. My big, furry foster brother is working on teaching me puppy manners. Foster mom thinks I'm pretty smart and will learn my manners and maybe some new tricks fairly quickly. I already know sit and I learned to ring the bell on the back door when I want to go outside in one day. Because I can get a little too excited, I would do best in a home with older children and/or young, active dogs. I've also done well as an only dog and lived in an apartment. When I'm an only dog, I'm still playful, but I can self entertain with toys and bones or snuggle up next to my humans for naps. I've also done well on long hikes. I'm potty and crate trained, sleeping through the night. With my good looks and great ears, I'm sure to find a home in no time, so you should apply today!

Toshi is a male Basenji/Pit Bull mix with an estimated DOB of 6/21/2024. He currently weighs 42 lbs (as of 12/14).

We will continue to do 3rd and 4th vaccinations for any previously adopted puppies from 10am-12pm on Saturdays at the adoption center.
Please follow instructions upon your arrival there.

You can find answers to many questions on our web site and within the bio of each

More about this rescue

K-9 Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, all-breed canine rescue organization established in February 2012.

We are a rescue group for shelter dogs who run out of time. In other words, we are not a shelter, have no permanent facilities, and are not equipped to take in dogs from the public. We select dogs from the greater Houston "kill" animal control facilities who would not have made it out alive. (Don't worry! If you need help rehoming a dog, there are other non-profit groups who can assist you.)

No one involved in K-9 Angels receives ANY compensation. Our volunteers are compassionate animal welfare advocates who contribute their time, skills, and finances to shelter homeless dogs in Houston. To save the lives of the abandoned, abused, and stray dogs who end up in Houston's animal control facilities, K-9 Angels relies completely on adoption fees, donations, and our amazing volunteers.

K-9 Angels covers ALL costs for dogs currently in the program. During intake, every dog gets a microchip and is spayed or neutered (if old enough for the procedure). If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. We fund all medical care necessary, even if we have to raise extra Helping Paw funds for special cases! From the time they enter the program to the time they graduate, K-9 Angels dogs are kept up-to-date on all vaccines (DHPP, bordetella, rabies) as well as heartworm and flea prevention.

We commit to K-9 Angels dogs until they are adopted.
Our volunteer foster homes patiently provide safety, love, and integration into a household environment - a key to successful adoptions. The biographies, pictures, and even videos from foster homes are important "pup-licilty" for our dogs! We are always in need of additional foster homes.

Our goal is a "fur-ever" home! We take every precaution not to contribute to the dog overpopulation problem here in Houston. Applications are processed according to our adoption policies to insure the best situation for our dogs and the families who adopt them.
