Story
Hello there, I'm Rainy, an older gal who is still full of love and life. I was found on the mean Houston streets and nobody ever claimed me. Lucky for me, Houston Cares took me under their wing and provided me with necessary veterinary care- vaccines, dental, spay, and even removed mammary tumors. So, I am now living a much happier, healthier life! I'm house-trained, cuddly, and proud to keep an observant watch over the activity in your home. I get along well with other dogs and if I shed, it is very minimal. Brighten up your days by letting me spend my golden years loved by you, I promise I'm a ray of sunshine.

Story
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Foster Mom’s Five-Star Review"If you’re looking for a dog who is equal parts 'party' & 'pajamas,' Zappy is your girl. She has the most hilarious zoomies I’ve ever seen—it’s like she’s powered by a tiny engine! But the second she’s done, she is the sweetest soul. She doesn't have a 'lone wolf' bone in her body; she looks to the resident cats & dogs for cues and loves to be part of the cuddle pile. She’s incredibly smart & motivated by food, which has made training a total breeze. She’s going to make some lucky family very, very happy!"*located in TX, ready for transport*Please visit our site at https://www.jennisrescueranch.org/ for more information on how to adopt.

Story
My dog is about 7 years old. She’s a rescue and was completely house trained when we found her. I was a single mom with 2 little girls and she has been such a good pet for our family. But now I’ve remarried and Maisie doesn’t like my husband’s dog (it’s female, she has gotten along with males though). She never bites her, merely pins her down, but the other dog is getting older. We just worry about her getting hurt accidentally. We love her though - she is great with kids and people.

These pups are in Houston, Texas too!

Story
MEET BISCUIT! Breed: Chihuahua–Jack Russell Mix Personality: Friendly • Playful • Easygoing Biscuit is a happy little guy who adores people and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. He loves tug-of-war, fetch, and showing off his signature hop-and-pounce move that always makes his foster family smile. When it’s time to relax, Biscuit is a pro snuggler and a great independent napper. He enjoys being held, cuddling with other dogs, or curling up quietly in his bed or kennel. Biscuit came into rescue with a skin infection that caused some fur loss, but he’s healing quickly and improving every day. He’s also doing great with potty training and will continue to thrive with positive reinforcement. Biscuit’s Dream Home: A loving home with a playful canine companion who enjoys both fun and cuddle time. If you’re looking for a sweet, cheerful pup to brighten your days, Biscuit is ready to meet you! 🐾💛 Biscuit is a male Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix with an estimated date of birth of 10/3/25. As of 12/6, he weighs 4.8 lbs.

Story
Hi, I’m Tux! I’m a tiny 3.6 lb gentleman with a bow-tie marking on my back—perfect for my name. I’m a gentle little guy who loves following my sibling’s lead and staying close to my people. Foster mom also calls me “Tuck,” because I tuck right into her hand or curl up snugly in my crate. I already sleep through the night with no accidents and I’m learning quickly—I come when called and can sit. Because I’m still so young and small, I’ll need someone who can continue helping me with daytime potty breaks and building my confidence. My siblings and I are recovering from demodex (non-contagious) mange, so don’t worry about my bare little wrinkles—my fur is in the process of growing back! I’ve got the sweetest, softest spirit, and I’m going to be a handsome little dude as my coat grows in. Don’t miss out—the best holiday gift might just be me. Tux is a Jack RussellChihuahua mix, born 10/03, and will be a small adult. He weighs 3.6 lbs as of 12/6.
