Story
If you would like more information about Violet or are interested in adopting her, please send an email to maytethomas5@outlook.com Violet was found on the street back in August of 2024 with no microchip. She is super sweet with the people she loves, but she is not dog friendly, cat friendly, or kid friendly. She is house trained and is very food motivated, so she is easily trainable. I’m, unfortunately, looking for a new home for Violet as I am having a child so our home will not be a good fit for her.

Friends For Life makes no claims to have evaluated the behavior or medical status of the animal posted. Friends For Life shall not incur any liability for any injury or damages to any person or property caused in the future by this animal, nor from any causes of action, claim or demand that may arise as a result of such injury or damage. This listing is strictly in the spirit of our commitment that providing support to the independent rescuer community is a valuable step on the path to a No Kill Houston. We know networking works and to the extent that we can provide a platform for animals to be seen and placed, that is our intention.

Story
When Quinn first arrived at the shelter, he was almost unrecognizable. Hairless, painfully thin, and with eyes full of sorrow, he had clearly known more struggle than comfort. But even in that fragile state, there was a quiet dignity about him—a flicker of hope that refused to go out. Thanks to his amazing foster, Quinn is living proof of what love, patience, and proper care can do. His coat is growing back in soft waves, his ribs are no longer showing, and his eyes now sparkle with the gentle, wise soul he’s always been. He’s not just surviving anymore—he’s thriving. Quinn is calm, affectionate, and gentle to the core. He adores family walks, soft blankets, and any opportunity to rest his head in your lap. He’s learning how to be a dog again—how to play, how to trust, and how to love without fear. Every day is a new chance for him to bloom a little more. He gets along well with other dogs and is learning how to play. He’s got a whole lot of love left to give, and he’s been waiting for someone just like you.

Story
Meet Nyx!Nyx is a beautiful 8 week old female Pyrenees mix. She has bright blue eyes like her 4 sisters. When Nyx isn’t taking a little puppy nap she is playing with her toys, chewing on sticks or chasing her sisters around. Nyx likes to talk and we have even heard her howl, but don’t worry she doesn’t talk too much! This girl loves her people and kids and will be your best friend forever! She would be okay as the only dog in the home.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt. It doesn`t obligate you, but it is the first step. We don`t get to all of the inquires but respond to all applications. Thank you for choosing to rescue!
