Story
10 months old Cypress is an incredibly loving pup, who was saved from a high kill shelter in Houston. Cypress is shy at first, but a little petting and she is ready to melt and be velcro with you. She and her sister Cocoa were saved from a high kill shelter in Texas by their foster mom. They are not bonded. Cypress will really do good in a home with a second dog, as she loves playing with her doggie foster siblings. Cypress will make a great addition to any family. She is sweet and loving, and very obedient. She is also extremely well behaved. She has no resource guarding tendency. Cypress lives with 2 other dogs and a kitty, and her foster mom's grandkids in her foster home and gets along with everyone. Cypress is about 10 months old, and currently weighs around 50 lb. She is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and kept on heartworm and flea preventative. She is currently being fostered in Houston but can travel to any state, even Canada to the right home. To meet this amazing pup via facetime or whatsapp or other video chat apps, please send a completed application via www.savesomesouls.com Cypress' adoption fee includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery and recovery, heartworm and flea prevention), a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, Harness and Transport Fee to several states in the United States. Yards MUST BE adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups. We do not accept electric or underground fences. Our dogs are fully assessed by foster parents, vets and behaviorists, as well as videos and video chats are available to observe their manners in public. We are extremely transparent and like to share everything negative and positive with the adopters, to ensure it's a good fit and they are not returned to us, as the trips are very stressful on them. Houston is home to million strays, many who are abandoned, many born on the streets, many who escaped while living in the yard, which is common in Texas. Since our rescue does not get grants that shelters get, we use adoption fee to help the pups and kitties in our care. Your adoption fee goes towards vetting and feeding our long term and permanent fosters, and unadoptable pups, as well as towards the monthly care and preventatives etc of our pets. By adopting one pup from our rescue, you make room for another dog to be rescued our high kill shelter, thus becoming an integral part of our mission to save as many unfortunate dogs off the streets and shelters as possible. So Thank you for choosing to rescue, and not go to a breeder.

Story
Pongo is a super sweet whippet/lab mix who is just about a year old. He is an incredibly adorable and loving pup with a beautiful disposition. Pongo is very friendly, well-mannered, and enjoys being around people. When he first meets you, he may jump up a little from puppy excitement — but the wonderful thing about Pongo is that he listens! As soon as you tell him “no” or ask him to settle, he immediately stops and responds well to guidance. Pongo is fully vetted, neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, and kept on heartworm and flea prevention. He is healthy, happy, and ready for his forever home. Pongo would do great in a home that will continue his basic training, give him love, structure, and playtime, and include him as part of the family. He has so much love to give and will make a loyal, fun, and affectionate companion. Pongo is good with dogs, he is fine with cats and lives around both. He loves people and trusts them fully. He was rescued from a high kill shelter of Texas. Pongo is about 50 lb, neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and kept on heartworm and flea prevention. He is currently being fostered in Texas but can be transported to most states, and even Canada for the right home. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and friendly young dog to add joy to your life, Pongo might be your perfect match 🐾💙 Yards MUST BE adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups.

Story
This is Violet 💜 She is an amazing, sweet girl. When she sees her favorite volunteers, her entire body wiggles with happiness. She keeps her kennel nice and neat. She loves exploring the play yard, the occasional zoomie and taking nice, quiet walks. What’s the catch? Why hasn’t she been adopted?? Violet is fearful of new things. Loud noises. Not in a fight way but in a flight way. She has some fears around men and big dogs but does have some small dog friends. She takes her time to warm up but when she does, she’s so happy and fun. All she needs is time, patience and love. If you are looking for that dog, the one that is often overlooked, the one that is shy, the one that will fill your heart full of love when you break through that barrier…Violet is your girl.Est. DOB: 8/15/1916 lbs.AAR does not transport for adoption.Violet is enjoying a foster home. Please email dogadoptteam@aartexas.org to schedule a time to meet her.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Introducing Fred, a handsome and playful Whippet mix who loves to play and cuddle with everyone!  He loves to go for rides in the car and on walks.  Fred has easily learned basic commands and clearly wants to please his people.  He is treat motivated and will work hard for his treats!  Now all he needs is a home to call his own where he will be loved and cared for.  Fred is crate trained and has now mastered housetraining as well.  He is a very smart boy--take a look at the video of Fred with the treat puzzle he worked out in record K9 time!    Even though Fred is a mix he does exhibit many of the characteristics of the Whippet and some are shown below: The sleek, sweet-faced Whippet, the 'Poor Man's Racehorse’ is lightning quick. He is an amiable, dignified, and gentle soul, but give him something to chase and he's all business. The name Whippet is synonymous with streamlined grace. At somewhere between 18 and 22 inches at the shoulder, the Whippet looks like a Greyhound, but smaller. The Whippet exhibits the classic 'inverted S' lines of the sighthound. The deep chest and trim waist; a lean head supported by a long, arched neck; and slim but sturdy legs combine in a picture of an agile, fleet-footed athlete. Between bursts of intense pursuit, Whippets love to stretch out and relax for long hours, enjoying the role of a loving and loved companion. Whippets like a fenced yard to run in and Fred will need one for sure.  Just like pure breed Whippets Fred will also need daily mental stimulation to keep him happy and content.  He would enjoy agility training and be great at it.  Despite the breed's elegant looks, the Whippet is a robust, low-maintenance dog. Fred has already been neutered and is current on his vaccinations, worming, heartworm prevention and flea control.  His $125 adoption fee also includes a LIFETIME microchip registration with 24hourpetwatch.  If you think he may be the right K9 companion for you please click on the green arrow icon near the top of the page to submit an online application (no cost or obligation).  Once approved we'll gladly set up a time for you to meet Fred in person to see if it's a good match.  Thank you for thinking Rescue.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 18, 2025, 10:30 am
