Estimated DOB 3/25/24, weight 40 lbs.

This young girl Calliope is very sweet and playful, and has energy to spare!  Her foster home has several dogs and Calliope wants to play -- er -- wrestle with all of them.  She loves to go on walks, meet new people, play with her stuffed animal toys, and snuggle on the couch for movie time.

Calliope was abandoned in the parking lot of a PetSmart but fortunately, her future foster mom worked at the store and scooped her right up! Calliope knows Sit and Wait, and likes to sleep in her crate at night.  

Calliope would love a home where she can get lots of attention and exercise as well as have a canine brother or sister to play with.  Is that you?

DOB 5/29/21, weight 74 lbs.

Meet Charles! This stunning boy is large for this breed but otherwise could be the Siberian Husky poster dog. He has a “woolie” coat and, like all Huskies, a double coat.  Charles would do great living in a cold climate!  

Charles is very sociable and can be affectionate and seek human attention too. He is good with children, very gentle. He rarely barks or howls except when he hears sirens when outside.  He is basically low-energy and very calm for the breed.  He will play tag/wrestle-mania with his sibling sister, Mary Beth, which often becomes very animated.  Trips to the dog park, walks in the neighborhood and treats really excite Charles.  He needs some physical activity every day. If given the chance he will escape and needs tall and secure fencing.

Charles would be a great addition to a pet parent that is familiar with the Husky breed and is looking for a new family member. He has spent his whole life with his sibling sister Mary Beth, but they do not have to be adopted together as long as he has another large dog in his life.

DOB 1/1/20, weight 10 pounds  

Hey there, everyone! I’m Cleo, a charming, loving, and friendly chestnut Chihuahua gal with a black muzzle who luxuriates when my foster mom showers me with plenty of attention and gives me every opportunity to snuggle with her. I love playing with other small dogs but am understandably cautious around larger dogs. I haven’t been around cats, but I’m open to meeting dog-friendly ones.

I had previously led a sheltered existence ever since I was a puppy because my former owner had never walked me and had kept me and my Chihuahua "sister" Bubbles on a small patio most of the time. You might say that he was a back-yard breeder because under his care I birthed my Chihuahua puppies Bambi and Lucita. However, he had some financial reverses and could not afford the apartment pet deposit for all four of us pooches. Fortunately, his kind-hearted neighbor, who happens to be a HOPE cat foster mom, stepped up to the plate and agreed to foster me until I could find a new home.

Foster Mom has opened up a whole new world for me! Not only am I inside most of the time now where I can cuddle with her, but also I’m learning to walk on a leash. I relish all the other people and canines whom I meet on our daily excursions. Even though I’m tiny, nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog.

Now that I’m permanently retired from motherhood, I’m ready to become the perfect addition to a loving forever home. If you’re looking for bundle of love the size of a minute, I’m the cuddly lap dog for you! Arrange to meet me today, and I hope you’ll take me home in your purse. I promise to leave itsy-bitsy paw prints all over your heart.

DOB 8/1/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Gidget, a beautiful, very sweet, and vivacious Manchester Terrier mix who weighed 10 pounds at 6 months old but should grow up to be a sleek, shiny, and streamlined gal who weighs up to 22 pounds when I’m full grown. I’m an affectionate, lovey-dovey pup with my foster mom and her friends, and I also get along great with kids as well as the resident cats and small dogs in my foster home.

When I gambol in the back yard, I move with an easy grace that makes my muscles ripple under my shimmering coat of black with red accents. I’m playful and high-energy at this exciting juncture since NOW my life is a bowl of cherries, but that has not always been the case. You see, when I was about five  months old, a Good Samaritan found me forlornly wandering on the feeder of Highway 288 near Beltway 8. I hate to admit that my heartless owner dumped me and left me very confused, disoriented, as well as vulnerable to being hit by a speeding car! Thank heavens I was rescued and brought to the safe haven of my foster home, where I have blossomed into the confident dog-owner’s delight that Manchesters are known to be.

I’m eager-to-please, obedient, and super-intelligent, so I’m almost fully housebroken and crate-trained, and I’m learning to walk well on a leash. Now I’m ready to bring my eye-catching elegance and puppy exuberance to my forever family. Could that be you? If so, arrange to meet me today! One look into my eager, alert dark eyes will melt your heart. I promise that I’ll always be up for anything that the day may bring as long as I’m with you!

Wanna play!? Then Lola is your girl!  This cutie patootie is all about playing, either with her foster mom or her dog friends at Day Care. She has typical puppy energy, but she’s currently enrolled in obedience class which is helping her to focus and channel that energy into good doggy manners. Lola loves to go on walks where she can polish her leash work, ride in the car, play with her toys, and monopolize the bed when taking a nap. She’s very treat-motivated, and she’s learning to be around cats without barking at them. It’s a work in progress.

Lola was found on the street and was happy to go up to her future foster mom for some treats and turn on the spunk! Lola’s ideal home environment would include a family with an active lifestyle, a backyard for playtimes to get the zoomies out, and a canine big brother to set a good example and keep her on her toes.

Hello!  My name is Lucas, and I was abandoned at a vet clinic where I was tied to the front door.  Fortunately, the clinic found a client who agreed to take me in and foster me. The vet helped get me hooked up with an adoption program, so here I am, a HOPE dog now!

I love playing with balls and squeaky toys, going running with my foster mom’s neighbor, and sunning in the backyard in nice weather. I like to play with other dogs, but I like to wrestle. It looks/sounds rough, so I may be better as the only-pet child.

I'm a smart boy who already knows "sit." I'm crate trained, bilingual, and ready to snuggle with you! Arrange to meet me today!

Beautiful Lucy, a gentle, loving girl who is great with children, enjoys car rides and walks in the neighborhood where she is on squirrel patrol! She especially enjoys going with her mom to dog-friendly café’s with outdoor seating where she gets to soak up the wait-staff’s attention and perhaps have a pup cup. She loves playing tug-of-war in the backyard with any dog toy, and she occasionally goes to the dog park and doggy day care.

Lucy is looking for a new home now that her mom has downsized to an apartment and no longer has a backyard for Lucy to run around in. She was rescued from the street – a car wash to be exact -- when she was just a youngster and has lived with a small dog ever since. 

Lucy’s ideal home would be with a family who would include her in family outings such as trips to the kid’s baseball games or walks along the bayou walking trails.  At the end of a busy day, she loves nothing more than relaxing and some quiet downtime with her people. She would enjoy living with another easygoing, calm, small/medium-sized dog friend. Or she could be a solo girl, but no cats, please.

DOB 5/29/21, weight 38 lbs.

Meet Mary Beth! This gorgeous girl is on the smaller size for a Husky, but what she lacks in size, she makes up for with her winning personality.  She is very sociable and seeks human attention. She is good with children, very gentle, and very affectionate (and gives face kisses).  She rarely barks or howls, and she is not a good guard dog for alerting to people at the door.  Mary Beth would do great living in a cold climate!  

She is typically high energy and athletic, being both fast and agile.  She will play tag/wrestle-mania with her sibling brother Charles who is twice her size, which often becomes very animated.  She gets really excited when she sees her leash that signals physical trips outside, either a walk in the neighborhood or a trip to the dog park.  She does well at dog parks and is very socialized with other dogs.

Just like her sibling brother Charles, she needs physical activity every day or she’ll become bored.  She is very smart and inquisitive. She loves to "help you" in the kitchen if it means a tasty treat for her.  She is an escape artist and needs tall and secure fencing.

Mary Beth would be a great addition to a pet parent that is familiar with the Husky breed and is looking for a new family member. She has spent her whole life with her sibling brother Charles, but they do not have to be adopted together as long as she has another medium /large size dog in her life.

Hey there, everyone! I’m Pablo, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate ball of energy who’s also a black Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix fella with four white slippers! I do best with lots of close family contact. Wouldn’t you know that cuddling in Foster Mom’s lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? I adore playing with the other small dogs in my foster home, and I get along great with the resident cats and with kids.

My size makes me an ideal apartment dog, but I relish my daily exercise. Nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. I make it easy for her because, young as I am, I’m learning to walk on a leash and am crate-trained. True confessions: I’m still working on getting housebroken.

I was found wandering the mean streets of Houston. Thank heavens a Good Samaritan scooped me up because I was much too small and young to fend for myself. I was so grateful to be welcomed into my foster home, but I’m now ready to bring my adorable puppy perkiness and loving personality to my forever home. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave itsy-bitsy paw prints all over your heart.

Arf! Arf, everyone! I’m Sammy, a sweet, friendly, quiet, and affectionate white Maltipoo (Maltese/Mini Poodle mix) fella who is, in my humble opinion, the world’s greatest little dog. I think my foster mom agrees because she loves it that I curl up and settle in her lap whenever I can. There are two resident dogs and a cat in my foster home, but I’m much rather interact with beloved Foster Mom than play with them.

I have a comical idiosyncrasy: I like to burrow under anything I can move and get under. You name it – bedcovers, blankets, pillows, throws. Foster Mom thinks it’s adorable that a cute little thing such as I am likes to excavate my own little lair like a mole.

Let me tell you a little about Maltipoos. We’re gentle, social dogs who love people. Our happy, cheerful dispositions are guaranteed to boost your mood and make you smile. We can even be good therapy dogs because of the comfort we provide. And I’m no exception to this profile!

I really looked like a mess when my foster mom first rescued me! Oh my goodness – I weighed only 10 pounds! You could see every bone on my vertebrae, plus I had no hair on my back. My eyes were practically glued shut with “goop” from an infection; I also had an ear infection; and my mouth was a mess from neglected preventative dentistry.

Thank heavens Foster Mom and the vet have transformed me into a new man! With a steady diet of nutritious food, I’ve gained 2.5 pounds, I’m filling out nicely, and my fur is growing back! I’m eating a soft diet that’s appropriate after all of the diseased teeth (that hadn’t already fallen out) have been pulled. I look and feel so much better! And the silver lining about having no teeth is that I don't need any future dental cleanings!

Medications have cleared up my original eye and ear infections. The vet also diagnosed that I have a condition called “dry eye,” which means that I don’t produce tears like I should. So Foster Mom puts drops in my eyes twice a day and cleans out any “goop” once to twice a day Thanks to the hair around my eyes being clipped, Foster Mom can clean out my eyes easier. I have cataracts in both eyes so I have very limited visibility and bump into things, but get around once I've learned my way! I generally move slow so I don’t hurt myself !

Even though I sleep a good portion of the day, I am quite aware of sounds and scents. I will sound the alarm at unfamiliar noises. I will track Foster Mom down if she has moved from where I left her using my superior olfactory senses.

My ideal home would be one that has a doggie door to a small fenced back yard and someone to keep me company.  I’m so grateful for all the love and attention that I’m getting! In return, I snuggle and cuddle like you wouldn’t believe! I’ve learned how to use the doggie door, and I’m now crate-trained.

If you’re looking for a cozy lap dog and can look past my limitations, I’d really like to be your dog! Half of my life is still ahead of me, so let’s spend it together! My heart has so much love to give, all that’s missing is YOU!

Meet Susie! If you’re looking for a dog who can keep up and cuddle hard after, Susie is your girl.

Susie was found running loose in North Houston and rescued by her foster mom — and she’s been soaking up the good life ever since. She’s athletic, fast, and obsessed with fetch and zoomies. She’d thrive with someone who enjoys daily walks or runs and wants a dog that’s always down for something fun. Susie is also smart and eager to learn, especially when cheese (or bully sticks) are involved. She knows Sit, is learning to wait for her release word at mealtime, and is working on leash walking, crate training, and kennel routines.

Once she’s had her activity, Susie flips into full lovebug mode. She gives the sweetest kisses, loves snuggling on the couch, and will happily curl up next to you (or in your lap) like she belongs there. Susie will do best with a dog-experienced adopter and a secure yard. She also needs to be the only female dog in the home — she prefers to be the leading lady.

Hey there, everyone! I’m Xena, a sweet, incredibly friendly, spirited Siberian Husky mix gal whose heart is as big as my beautiful blue eyes. Due to my congenial nature, I love making new friends, whether they’re hooman or other dogs. I’m always up for an adventure – whether it’s a hike, a run, or just a fun day at the park. When the day is done, though, I’m an affectionate gal who just wants to relax and cuddle with Foster Mom. Since I’m quite smart and eager to please, she’s had a joy training me.

It’s hard to believe that I was hanging out as a stray with no collar, tags, or chip outside of a game shop. Who would not tear the neighborhood apart searching for me -- unless I was abandoned because my owner couldn’t afford to keep me as their pet anymore? Ah well, I’m not looking back! I was making a homeless man very agitated because the game store was "his territory." Thank heavens Foster Mom brought me home to foster me when she was alerted to my situation, and she promises to find me the fantastic forever home that I deserve the second time around.

If you’re looking for a loyal, lovable, playful, and energetic companion for your active lifestyle, I’m ready to be your new best friend. Arrange to meet me today. I think you’ll find not only that am I stunningly beautiful eye candy, but also that spending time with me will a complete joy to your heart.
