Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Andy is 27 pounds and will be 7 months old on November 7. He has yet to meet another dog or person that he does not like. He loves everyone. We have not had the chance to see him around cats, though. He is super affectionate and loves to make eye contact with people with his expressive eyes, almost like he speaks English and can understand everything they are saying. He is a fast learner and already knows how to fetch and sit. He is crate trained and house broken. When he wants to go outside to go potty, he sits at the door and stares at it until someone comes to let him out. He enjoys going for walks on a leash, and he's really good about riding in cars (no motion sickness). He really just wants to be someone's pet; he tries hard to be a very good boy. He loves to sit in laps and cuddle, and he is routine oriented.

More about this rescue
The Humane Society of Harris County was founded in 1991 and has continually serviced Harris County and the surrounding area for 24 years. HSHC currently provides shelter and adoption opportunities for homeless dogs and cats though a small network of foster homes and a small kennel on loan to us by a Harris County resident. Just over 600 animals have found new, permanent homes since 2008. In addition, we provide numerous outreach programs including:
• HSHC Pet Food Pantry, which is run in coordination with the Harris County Meals-on-Wheels program. The program has distributed over 4,000 pounds of food since its inception.
• “Tag You’re It”, a pet identification initiative that encourages residents to properly identify their pets by offering low cost microchips and tags. Over 200 resident dogs and cats have been identified through this program.
• Dog Obedience Classes to help local residents train their dogs and overcome behavior problems that cause owners to relinquish their animals to shelters.
• “Helping Hounds” a program run in cooperation with the Muscogee County Youth Development Campus pairing youth offenders with shelter dogs. The program is built on the premise that dogs and people together can become the catalyst for a positive change in each other’s lives.
