My story

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

Hi, I'm Andy! I'm a super handsome 2-year-old dogo, and if I do say so myself, my eyes are mesmerizing. Seriously, they could stop traffic. I’m a total charmer and, let’s be honest, I want ALL your attention. Like, all of it. All. Of. It.

Why am I homeless, you ask? Well, let me tell you my sob story. I was found roaming the streets in a Texas neighborhood, abandoned and looking pretty rough. It wasn’t my best look—skinny, dirty, and burnt (from either sunburn or chemicals but my rescue people don’t know dog language so it’s hard to tell them what happened to me!). Thankfully some kind humans saved me. After they scooped me up, I found my way to this cool rescue.

Now, I’m heartworm positive (bummer, I know), but don't worry! I'm strong enough now to get the treatment I need, and I’m ready to get back to my charming, energetic self. You know, once all this wormy business is handled. Gross. Don’t worry though because dogs like me go through this all the time and end up living a long, good life so I am looking forward to that! I’m currently chilling near Houston, TX, but listen—I’m willing to travel anywhere for love. Cats? Yeah, I’ve seen a few. They're like furry, tiny couches that move. Not a big deal. I could probably live with one if you show me how to behave around them. I'm a fast learner, promise! As far as dogs, I can be moody if they are!

I’ll admit, I need a little help with my manners (don’t we all?), but I’m eager to please! Give me some training and confidence-boosting, and I’ll be your perfect companion in no time. Oh, and I’m a bit of a ladies' man, just FYI. Men? Eh, I need to take my time warming up to them. But with the right introductions, I’m sure I can charm anyone, eventually!

So, who’s ready to give me all the belly rubs and attention I deserve?



So there I was, just chilling in the dog yard, minding my own business, when suddenly—BAM!—a bunch of chickens and turkeys decided to fly into my area. I’m talking about a whole poultry parade! Now, you’d think I would have had myself a little field day, right? Feathers flying everywhere, chicken nuggets for dinner?

Nope! I just sat there like a true gentleman, hanging out with my new feathery pals. No barking, no chasing, just vibing. Everyone was watching like, "Here we go, this is the end for those birds," but nah, I was more like, “Hey, you guys wanna sit in the shade together?”

Turns out, I’m not really into fast food—I prefer my friends with feathers intact!

*Please note: Andy will be neutered prior to adoption. We have to get him cleared medically prior to this procedure!*
