My story

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

Hi, my name is Timmy! I’m a puppy with big paws and an even bigger heart. My foster parents think I’ll grow up to be a medium-to-large dog, but right now, I’m all about learning and having fun. The best part? I’m a quick learner!

I’ve already mastered sleeping through the night and I’m fully potty trained. I love puzzle toys and figuring things out—my foster parents say I’m super smart and perseverant. I’m also a big fan of food and learning how to eat more slowly with the help of puzzle bowls and toys (they make me think and snack—my favorite combo!).

I have lots of puppy energy, but I know how to focus it on games like tug of war and fetch. I’m playful, curious, and love to entertain myself, but I’m also happy to cuddle up for some love and attention when playtime is done.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, clever pup who will keep you smiling and surprise you every day with how fast he learns, I might just be the perfect match for you!

My new foster family has kids and cats and I’m doing great with both! Although the cats haven’t warmed up to me yet, I’ll win them over soon. While they hiss at me now, I know to give them space as I just want to be friends. And I just love giving the kids big kisses and sitting on their laps. They are teaching me many new things like playing soccer.

Timmy is a male Hound mix with an estimated date of birth of 11/15/24. As of 3/8 he weighed 34 lbs.

More about this rescue

K-9 Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, all-breed canine rescue organization established in February 2012.

We are a rescue group for shelter dogs who run out of time. In other words, we are not a shelter, have no permanent facilities, and are not equipped to take in dogs from the public. We select dogs from the greater Houston "kill" animal control facilities who would not have made it out alive. (Don't worry! If you need help rehoming a dog, there are other non-profit groups who can assist you.)

No one involved in K-9 Angels receives ANY compensation. Our volunteers are compassionate animal welfare advocates who contribute their time, skills, and finances to shelter homeless dogs in Houston. To save the lives of the abandoned, abused, and stray dogs who end up in Houston's animal control facilities, K-9 Angels relies completely on adoption fees, donations, and our amazing volunteers.

K-9 Angels covers ALL costs for dogs currently in the program. During intake, every dog gets a microchip and is spayed or neutered (if old enough for the procedure). If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. We fund all medical care necessary, even if we have to raise extra Helping Paw funds for special cases! From the time they enter the program to the time they graduate, K-9 Angels dogs are kept up-to-date on all vaccines (DHPP, bordetella, rabies) as well as heartworm and flea prevention.

We commit to K-9 Angels dogs until they are adopted.
Our volunteer foster homes patiently provide safety, love, and integration into a household environment - a key to successful adoptions. The biographies, pictures, and even videos from foster homes are important "pup-licilty" for our dogs! We are always in need of additional foster homes.

Our goal is a "fur-ever" home! We take every precaution not to contribute to the dog overpopulation problem here in Houston. Applications are processed according to our adoption policies to insure the best situation for our dogs and the families who adopt them.
