Story
Pit Bull Terrier 3 years old Male 50 pounds Kids · 10+ Dogs · Dog tolerant Cats · No What My Friends Say About Me: I’m a high-energy pup who loves staying active! Whether it’s running, hiking, or playing fetch, I’m always up for an adventure by your side. I thrive on human connection and would love to be your constant companion. Let’s explore the great outdoors together! My tail wags like crazy when I’m excited, which is pretty much all the time when I’m with you! The Type of Home I’m Looking For: I prefer to be the only dog in the house. I’m not always the best at playing with other pups and I don’t like cats, so a solo spot in your heart would make me happiest! I would be great with children over 10! I’m eager to learn and thrive on positive reinforcement training! I know a few basic commands already and with your guidance and some tasty treats, I can master lots of new tricks and behaviors. I can’t wait to show you what I can do! My adoption fee is $240 and includes neuter, microchip & registration, leash/collar, food sample, toy & treat packet.

Story
Dottie is around 4 years old 65lb pit bull/boxer mix with a lot of love to give! She’s a sweet girl who loves to cuddle and play with toys. I have had her for a little over a year and she lives with another dog and 2 cats and does great with them all. She has had issues with some other dogs in the past, it really depends on personality and overstimulation. She was rescued from a kill shelter in Texas and was adopted out by a family, who unfortunately had a 14 year old son who abused her so she has some trauma around young men. She was returned to the shelter then I got her and she’s been a loving companion but I am currently pregnant with a boy and due to her history, I don’t feel comfortable having her around a baby. It breaks my heart to have to rehome her but I know I can find a family that would be a better fit.

If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Addie, 4.5 year old, spayed female pitbull terrier mix, 45 pounds. Addie is in a foster home in Houston, TEXAS and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is lined up! Addie was saved from the streets of a north Houston neighborhood known for being a dumping ground for unwanted pets. When she was rescued, she was nearly hairless from mange, massively underweight and had experienced only a lifetime of struggle and raising litters. Addie is still learning what it means to be a loved house dog, but she is a willing and promising pupil and is loving her new lease on life! She is crate trained and stays in the kennel while her foster is at work for up to 8-9hrs, as well as sleeping in there at night. She has been trusted to sleep loose on occasion and has not had any issues in the house. She's still perfecting her house skills and may have the occasional accident until she settles into her new Furever home's routine. We do not have history with cats or children. In general, we recommend homes with kids who are old enough to understand and respect animal behavior cues and would always suggest supervised interactions until all parties are well accustomed to the other. Addie is a sweet, gentle girl, so she would likely do well around young kids, but may prefer older, calmer pre-teens and teenagers. Addie never had doggy "friends" before so she's not super playful. When she does interact, she greatly prefers her male friends of equal to bigger size (40-60lbs) and picks up on their cues to cease playtime. She is very curious and pulls towards the female dogs she's encountered but has yet found a girlfriend she enjoys playing with. This cutie has not shown any aggression around food or other resources but she is very much is a hungry, hungry hippo! She will try to eat everyone else's food, so we do recommend feeding her separately. Her foster says she is realizing that she will be getting another meal, and is getting much better with this. Addie has a few wishes for her new home: *walkies for 20-30 mins twice a day *a yard to roam and run around in *a male dog sibling to cuddle up and sleep next to *couches aplenty since she's in her Soft Life Era *all of the love and affection she missed out on while fending for herself on the street Although she is timid at first, but once she trusts you, Addie is overflowing with love. She is a survivor and has proven that the resilience of dogs will not be diminished, no matter how unfortunate life or unkind humans have been to them. We all can’t wait to see her living her best life with her new family! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?

Story
Meet Ernie ******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you area not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Ernie, formerly Max, is a neutered, 8 year old male Pittie/Cattle Dog mix, currently weighing around 63lbs. He is in a foster home in Houston, TX, and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is found. Ernie was found by his foster mom running down a busy street in rush hour traffic. She saw him almost get hit and literally took off her heels to run over and get him in the car. It was obvious by the way he jumped right in and his good health, that he was previously owned. Unfortunately, despite being microchipped, the owner didn’t want him back. We have gathered that Ernie is about 8 years old and was initially adopted from a county shelter back 2020. He was clearly loved at one time as he was HW- and never met a stranger. We will never know why his owner never came for him, but Ernie is a true gem of a dog and we can’t wait to see him find his true forever home. This handsome pup is a goofy older gentleman! He is very chill but also gets excited for a walk or play date. He’s done great with every human and animal he’s met, and just wants to be wherever you are. Ernie gets excited when he sees other dogs, wagging his tail and hoping you let him say hi! He’s a gentle play mate, just wanting to be included in the group and will go with the flow. He’s been great with dogs half his size, and lets his foster sibling, a little Aussie, boss him around. The dog sitter has a cat that he hasn’t formally met, but has seen from across the way. He seems interested in the cat, but not in an aggressive way. We think he would be fine with cats that don’t mind him wanting to say hi. Ernie hasn’t been around kids but is extremely gentle. His foster believes he’d enjoy a home with them as long as they are aware he is a bigger boy. Ernie is house broken and does great on a leash. He doesn’t enjoy the crate and will try to escape. Thankfully, he isn’t destructive when left unsupervised. If he knows you’re home while he’s in the crate, he will whine or howl for a few minutes, but calms down with a treat or verbal commands. He is a social guy and really enjoys time with his humans, following you room to room. His favorite spot is right next to you! His foster mom feels Ernie would be a great fit anywhere. He’d do well with kids, with or without other pets in the house, an older couple, or even a first time dog owner. He may be a senior, but Ernie has a lot of love left to give and just wants to be part of his very own pack! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.

We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Meet Remy—a resilient, loving pup who’s ready to be your loyal shadow and snuggle partner for life! Remy is an almost 4 year old Rottweiler mix weighing 70lbs, but looks smaller than this, his foster mom has been told. He is in a foster home in Houston, TX, and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is found. Remy was found as a stray in Cleveland, Texas. Thanks to a Good Samaritan who stepped up for him, his life changed forever. Remy is a total love bug and wants nothing more than to be near his person—your built-in shadow! His separation anxiety has improved so much, and he does great staying loose in the house while you’re away. He’s not a fan of kennels, but has gotten more use to them, especially when you're home. He has excellent house manners and has never had a single potty accident. Love walks? So does Remy! Love car rides? He’s your co-pilot! Love couch snuggles? He’ll be first in line! He’s dog & lifestyle friendly! He’s met and played with several dogs, playful but not overly so. He's met children, mainly on the older side....this goofball thinks he's 1/2 his size. He’s still learning, as we all are, but eager to please. Like any pup who’s getting a fresh start, Remy has a couple of small things he’s working on. Because he’s gentle and responsive, with consistency, these will be easy wins for his new family. •He gets really excited before a walk, at times pulls a bit at the beginning of walks, but settles in once he gets going. It doesn't take long and he's ready for a nap after a quick walk. •He may give you a soft little “welcome home” or “let’s go!” jump, mostly when you’re headed out for a walk or just arriving back. He's just always excited to see his people! Remy is ready to give someone all his love, loyalty, and all of the couch cuddles! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply today and give Remy the loving home he deserves ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
