Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
We found this big, beautiful dog chained to the fence behind our business. We’re not sure how long he had been there, but he was left with no food or water, looking so sad. We unchained him and took him inside. A trip to the vet showed that he did have a microchip and was adopted from a shelter in CA in 2019, but his adopter didn’t respond to the microchipping company’s calls or emails.
We named him Lincoln…as in Abraham. What does Lincoln mean spiritually? Lincoln signifies deep wisdom and emotional depth. The name suggests overcoming emotional challenges and finding fulfillment. That fits him to a “T.” He no doubt has had some emotional challenges, even though you would never know it, and finding a Furever Family to love him would be that fulfillment.
Lincoln is a big ol', sweet boy that loves people. There is absolutely nothing negative that we can say about him. There’s no useless barking. If he does, it’s for a reason. He’s the best at letting us know the doorbell is ringing!
Intelligence is not lacking in this boy. He was well-trained and knows Sit, Down, Stay, Get Back, will Shake with either paw, and Speaks. He’s house-broken, crate-trained, loves walks and walks calmly on a leash the majority of the time. However, squirrels can be a distraction. And just to let you know, he’s very strong.
Lincoln is very alert, and when outside he’s always looking around and observing. He will just stop and stand still, nose into the wind, looking around intently. Loud noises never make him flinch. He loves his heavy-duty squeaky toys and big tennis ball.
Bathing at the Self-Serve Dog Wash was a fun outing for him. Scrubbing and pampering him like the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz is a special treat. He's so gentle. We’ve never been around a dog like this and have come to find out he is quite exceptional. Say the word “go” or “car,” and he’s ready. He gets so excited and heads to the back of the SUV to jump in. He puts his front paws on the console, navigating every turn and loves to stick his nose out the window to see the sights as well as smell the new aromas.
If you've had a big dog before and are looking for some ‘big-dog love’ to share your life with, Lincoln is your dog!

Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and we want to be sure that our potential adoptive families have thought about the impact of this decision carefully. To adopt an animal through HOPE, we request that you complete an Adoption Application, a copy of which is available online for cats at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php or for dogs at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. You may fill it out online or print a copy of the application and complete it prior to arriving at an adoption session. This will expedite the adoption process and will also assist our adoption counselors in matching you to a suitable pet.
We at HOPE make every effort to match our foster pets to appropriate homes. If you feel that we are too intrusive, please understand that it is because we care about their welfare.
Fees
All animals are neutered or spayed and have received age appropriate shots prior to being adopted. We ask that you provide a $100 donation for cats and a donation of $150 for dogs when you adopt your new family member from us. This donation helps us in defraying the costs of these and other medical needs of our animals.

More about this rescue
Our mission is to end the homelessness of cats and dogs through foster to adoption, feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return, and education.
HOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVOR (HOPE) is an all-foster, no kill adoption group based in the Houston area.
HOPE covers the cost of general medical expenses for the animals in the program, such as altering, routine vaccinations and treatment for parasites. Our foster families are asked to provide food, shelter and love to the animals for which they care. They receive no payment for the services that they provide. Without them, and the other volunteers who so selflessly do what is necessary to keep HOPE afloat, it would not be possible to run this nonprofit corporation.
One aim of HOPE is to develop a network of area rescue and humane organizations which will facilitate the rescue and placement of a variety of animals. The goal is to never have to turn away an animal in need. By forming a coalition of humane and rescue groups in the Houston area, we could potentially place all animals who need a temporary home until they are placed into a permanent one.
