Name: Harris
Age: 2 years
Breed: German Shepherd
Health Status: Heartworm positive (treatment provided)
About Harris:
Harris is a charming 2-year-old German Shepherd with a heart full of love and a gentle spirit that will capture your heart. He was found camping out at an abandoned hospital alongside his lady friend and 40 other dogs, showing incredible resilience despite the challenges he faced. Now, he’s ready to embark on a new adventure with a loving family.
Though heartworm positive, Harris’ joyful personality shines through. His friendly demeanor makes him the perfect companion for families, individuals, or anyone looking to add a loyal friend to their life. Heartworms are alarmingly common in stray dogs in the Houston area, primarily due to the region’s warm and humid climate, which creates ideal conditions for mosquitoes—the primary carriers of the heartworm parasite. Heartworm treatment will be provided for him and his new family.
When you choose to adopt a heartworm positive dog, you're not just giving them a second chance at life—you're also embracing the opportunity to make a profound difference in their journey to recovery. Heartworm positive dogs are often overlooked, but they are just as loving, loyal, and deserving of a forever home as any other pup. By adopting one, you’ll experience the joy of watching them blossom into a healthy, happy companion. Your love and care can help them overcome this challenge, and in return, they will shower you with unconditional affection and gratitude for the rest of their lives.
Personality:
Harris is the definition of easy-going. He’s incredibly friendly and gets along wonderfully with people and other pets alike. His gentle nature makes him great with kids, and he thrives on human companionship.
His intelligence shines through in his training – he’s already crate-trained and walks beautifully on a leash. Whether you’re taking a stroll in the park or snuggling on the couch, Harris is up for the task!
Why Harris Needs You:
Harris is looking for a loving home where he can continue to thrive. He’s ready to bring joy, companionship, and a sense of peace to your household. With your support, he can overcome his heartworm status and live a long, healthy life by your side.
If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a loyal friend who has already shown so much courage, Harris is waiting for you!
To add Harris to your family, simply send us an email at springbranchrescue@gmail.com for adoption and fee information. He is wagging his tail and wiggling his butt at just the thought of finding his forever home and his story is just beginning! His next chapter could be with you!
Our adoption fee includes transport, all age required shots, microchip, & a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. We look forward to receiving your application! We will review it shortly and give you a call to set up a phone interview.
We are thrilled to offer transport services every 3 weeks from Houston to the Pacific Northwest and the East Coast, ensuring that these incredible pets can find their way to you no matter where you are. This makes the adoption process smooth and convenient, allowing you to focus on welcoming your new family member with open arms.
Why should you adopt from a Texas Rescue? Because you will be giving one of our many dogs and cats in need a chance for a better future away from a city that has an animal crisis. We are heartbroken each day with the many incredible and loving animals found wandering our streets. So often are these animals dumped, abandoned, or born on the streets and never find a home to call their own. We are giving them the chance that every animal deserves. We know that since you are looking to add a furry family member to your home here, you will provide the love, care, and attention they need to thrive. Thank you for considering adopting and not shopping.
