My personality

My story

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

Hi! My name is Silvia, but my foster mom calls me Callie. I would love to be your brown eyed girl. I’m a young high spirited female mix of catahoula, lab and whippet. While it’s not polite to ask a lady her age or weight I am around a year old and 37 pounds. I am super affectionate and enjoy meeting people and other dogs. I go into my kennel without a fuss. I am 85% potty trained and still figuring out the doggie door evidently feet first isn’t quite right. I am practicing leash training and working on my manners. I am a quicker learner and will be good at agility or running and love long walks.
I enjoy car rides and snuggles and have met the neighborhood kids and they really like me. Don’t be fooled by my sleek exterior I have a very impressive bark. I have a great time play with my foster sister we have so much playing. I am working on not getting too excited when I see cats and squirrels but hey I am part catahoula it’s in my name. I am looking for a loving home and I think we could have lots of fun together!

**Because we require home visits, we only adopt locally to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. For more on adoption policies, please see the How it Works page of our website, www.habitat4paws.org.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Email us for an application to be considered for adoption

2.

Home Check

We require a home visit. If all is good and everyone is in agreement, we will leave the pet for a 5 day home trial.

3.

Pay Fee

After a successful home trail, we ask to finalize the paperwork and pay the adoption fee.

Additional adoption info

FEES:
Dogs are $250
Puppies under 1 year are $275
Cats and kittens are $185

All animals have been spayed/neutered, received age appropriate vaccinations, had a heart-worm test, a Feline Leukemia test and a fecal check and are dewormed, microchipped and current on heart-worm and flea preventative medications at the time of adoption.

Adopters must be 21 and have a valid Texas driver’s license or a state-issued ID that matches the home address. If new to the area, a utility bill in the name of adopter will suffice. Renters must present proof of pet deposit or landlord approval to have a pet.


We require that you visit with a pet and adoption counselor. We prefer that all family members be present when the pet is introduced to its potential new family. Current pets are welcomed and encouraged to be part of the meeting too.

If a good match is found, adopters complete an application. Same day adoptions may be done; however, Habitat 4 Paws reserves the right to request a home visit prior to adoption. We do not hold pets nor do we adopt on a first-come/first-serve basis.

Go meet their pets

Nearly every weekend our pets that are ready for adoption are featured at locations such as Petsmart, Pet Supplies Plus and other locations. We can also arrange visits throughout the week. Check out the Events page of our website for a current schedule of events: www.habitat4paws.org.

More about this rescue

The mission of H4P is to rescue and find permanent homes for dogs and cats while caring for them in a volunteer-staffed facility and foster program. We are currently raising funds for a building and in the interim are a foster based group.

Beyond just sheltering animals, we are proactive in other areas that will help keep animals out of municipal shelters. Paws Pantry animal-food bank collects and distributes dog and cat food to those in need. H4P hosts microchip clinics so that animals will have a permanent ID and can be reunited with their owners.
