Story
My story sounds like a country western song. I was shot, hit by a car, dumped, unwanted and unloved. I was found and taken to a country animal control shelter. Animal Control asked for someone to help me and Loving Arms said YES and then took me in. I was skinny, had worms, my leg was infected where I had been shot, the back of my neck had a wound also (possibly from another bullet), part of my tail was missing and I’m blind in my right eye. But other than that, I was just fine. Oh, and did I tell you, they gave me a toy, and OMG was that fun! I held it in my mouth and just shook it and shook it. I’ve never had so much fun!!! I have a couple of issues that only a patient foster or adopter will understand.

Story
Meet Lady, a delightful adult dog who has a heart full of love and a spirit brimming with playfulness. She`s a 76-pound ball of fun, always ready for a game or an adventure. She likes agility, running, tugging, toys, water, chase, and wrestling. She loves walks and gets excited at the sight of a leash and leads on walks but listens. She`s also smart, obedient, and house trained. She knows the sit, stay, no, off, and shake commands. She`s incredibly affectionate, with a knack for cuddling that can turn any bad day around.Lady is comfortable on her own, but she also appreciates a good company and prefers her humans close by especially when she gets started at a new place with a new family. She starts shy and timid with everyone, and slowly opens up after she begins to trust the family members. Then, she loves to stay close to them to get belly rubs and in return, gives lots of kisses. She is crate trained but prefers more space because of her size, like a room with baby gate. She`s strong so the right person should handle her on walks using a sturdy harness and stay alert for pulling when she sees critters. She likes something to gnaw on as stress reliever so strong chew toys are a must with her.Lady has a picky side when it comes to other animals so she MUST be the only animal in the house. She is generally wary of new items or excitement and prefers a steady, routine pace in the house. She bonds with women more easily than with men and is very loyal and affectionate. She will make an ideal dog for single women or a single mom with children, as she has a natural affinity for women and is gentle with young kids. Her size makes her a good guard dog.Adopt lovable Lady, and let her bring a burst of joy, companionship, and unconditional love into your life. For additional information, please reach out to her foster, Ram, at CAPdogfoster@gmail.com or (281) 202-9076. (tw, rr 3/9/2025)Click `Play` to meet Lady.This animal has been available at the shelter for more than 30 days and is now considered a VIP. The adoption fee is 50% off! -jc (3/22/25)

Story
I am one tall glass of water – handsome and with a great smile. I have lots of energy, so I’d be a great walking partner or jogging buddy. I am friendly but not sure about those fuzzy bundles called cats. If you have a dog, let’s organize a meeting. I can be particular about my roomies. Mostly, I will be a loyal companion and by your side as much as possible.

Story
I was left in front of an abandoned store to fend for myself. My luck changed, however, when some kind humans got me to safety. I am a young and active guy. I would love a doggie friend or even a jogger to take me out. I do know a few commands, am in excellent health, and can't wait to find my forever family. I have not met cats yet.

Story
Yep, those are my ears. But aren't they cute? I came from the south side of Houston, and am glad to be out of scary traffic and noise. It is tough being on the streets. I am a happy girl, and still getting adjusted to being in a family. I enjoy my doggie housemates, but am still learning how to play like a dog. Those squeaky things called toys are interesting, but I never met one until I got to my foster home. I don't know any cats, and am not ready to go there yet. One step at a time. Call me.
