Calliope #miss-congeniality
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?
HOPE ID D24-1116-0045
Calliope's $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.

Charles #brother-of-Mary-Beth
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.

Henry #best-paw-forward
DOB 1/1/24 WEIGHT 16 #
Hey there, everyone! I’m Henry, a loving, perky, and adorable tan-and-white Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix fella who always puts my best paw forward! Don’t you love the white tip on the end of my tail? I have a sweet, friendly personality that’s good with children, small dogs, and cats. I love to hang out in my foster mom’s lap when she sits on the sofa, where we binge on Animal Planet or Netflix.
I was rescued from a Fresno, TX home where I was cruelly kept tied up outside with no protection from the elements. In my opinion, a yard is meant to run and play with toys in, and a home is meant to live and cuddle with hoomans in. Needless to say, I breathed a sigh of relief when I arrived at the safe haven of my foster home! I’m a good boy who’s already crate-trained.
Now I’m ready to bring my shining personality and playful antics to my new home. Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!

Lilly #cuddly-lapdog
DOB 6/29/23, weight 10 lb.
Hey there, everyone! I’m Lilly, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate chestnut and black Chihuahua mix gal who became homeless when my owners were deported. My buddy Luis and I wandered for days before a Good Samaritan rescued us from the mean streets of Houston. When I first arrived in my foster home, I was a little shy because I’m fearful of new situations. However, once I started feeling comfy here, I became all warm wiggles and wags.
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 small dogs in my foster home, and I get along great with the resident cats; however, the foster kittens annoy me, and the large dogs scare me.
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 I already walk well on a leash. Plus I’m kennel-trained.
Now I’m ready to bring my happy and adoring self to bless my new forever family. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave itsy-bitsy paw prints all over your heart.

Mary Beth #sister-of-Charles
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.

Milo #gives-mushy-puppy-kisses
Est DOB 12/22/23, weight 55 pounds
Hey there, everyone! I’m Milo, and I’m a sweet, happy, playful black Labrador/German Shepherd mix fella with a splash of white on my nose and on my chest. I’ve got the prick ears of a Shepherd but my solid black coat and lanky build indicate my Lab heritage.
I’m one of the sweetest dogs you could ever meet because I love everyone, and of course, everyone loves me back. Could it be because of the always-innocent expression on my face? One of my favorite things to do is fall asleep on top of Foster Mom. True confessions: I snore a bit! I’m smart as a whip, and because I’m very food-motivated, treats have helped me to pick up a few commands very quickly.
I have lots of energy, so I love to horse around with the resident dog in my foster home but I also love to go to Doggy Day Care where I get along with everybody! I’m curious about the cats, but I haven’t been allowed to meet them yet. Thank heavens Foster Mom rescued me as a stray who was wandering her neighborhood with no collar, tags, or chip. Now I’m ready to find my forever home, and I can’t wait! Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me, and I promise to cover your face with mushy pupper kisses.

Paco #bonded-to-Polo
DOB 12/25/24, weight 8.4 pounds
Hey there, everyone! I’m Paco, and I’m an ultra-sweet, very shy, and affectionate chestnut and white Chihuahua mix young fella who has the cutest white blaze on my forehead! 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 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 I already walk well on a leash. True confessions: I’m still working on getting housebroken and kennel-trained.
I was found with my best friend Polo on the side of the highway. If we were “dumped,” I’ll never tell! Thank heavens a Good Samaritan stopped and scooped us up because I’m much too small to fend for myself. I was so grateful to be welcomed into my foster home, but I’m now ready to bring my high cuteness factor 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. Although we’re available separately, Polo and I think it’d be the cat’s meow if we were adopted together. Two’s better than one, and we could keep each other company while you’re at work or on vacation.

Sammy #cheery-lap-dog
Est. DOB 1/7/15, WEIGHT 12.7 lbs.
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!

Xena #blue-eyed-beauty
DOB 5/1/22, weight 65 pounds
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.
