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.

Hey there, everyone! I’m Freddy, an adorable and charming fawn-colored Pug mix fella who lives to love and to be loved in return. “A lot is a little” is an apt description of my small but solid, muscular breed of Pug. My large, round head, big, sparkling eyes, and wrinkled brow give me a range of hooman-like expressions – surprise, happiness, curiosity. No wonder Pugs have delighted their owners for centuries!

Admittedly, I had a rough start to my short life. My owner neglected my friend Chiqui and me, and we were relegated to a lonely, uncomfortable existence in his backyard. That was no life for dogs who love to be in hooman’s laps! Thankfully, when a neighbor discovered our situation and saw that we were covered in fleas and ticks, our owner was convinced to surrender us to our HOPE foster mom.

Understandably, after my past lack of socialization, I was initially shy when I arrived in my foster home. Foster Mom knew that it would take time and patience for me to learn to trust her. With her gentle voice and affectionate touch, she showed me that I was loved, and I slowly began to open up. Voilá! Now I live to love her and to be loved in return. I’m still just a pup, so I happily play well with not only Chiqui but also the other small dogs here, and I just ignore the cats. I was so happy to become an indoor dog that I took to house-  and crate-training quite easily.

Now it’s time for me for graduate to my forever home where I can bring my charming and adorable self to sprinkle love and laughter. Could that be yours? Arrange to meet me today! We’ll fall head over paws with each other the instant that we meet! In case you’re looking for a matching pair of Pugs, please consider adopting Chiqui along with me. We could be playmates and cuddle buddies when you’re at work or on vacation.

Hey there, everyone! I’m Kate, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate fawn and white Chihuahua mix gal who absolutely loves when Foster Mom pets me. It’s understandable that I need all the reassurance of love that she gives me because my former owners abandoned me and my friend Kathy in the backyard when they moved out. Once I arrived at my foster home, it didn’t take long for my heart to heal, and now I’m all wiggles and wags. I adore playing with the small dogs in my foster home, and I get along great with the resident cats and well as the grandkids when they come to visit.

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? 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. Although we’re available separately, Kathy and I think it would be the cat’s meow if you were looking for a matched pair of fawn and white Chihuahuas and adopted both of us!

Hey there, everyone! I’m Kathy, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate fawn and white Chihuahua mix gal who absolutely loves when Foster Mom pets me. It’s understandable that I need all the reassurance of love that she gives me because my former owners abandoned me and my friend Kate in the backyard when they moved out. Once I arrived at my foster home, it didn’t take long for my heart to heal, and now I’m all wiggles and wags. Sometimes I can be a bit jealous of other dogs, but generally I get along well with the small dogs in my foster home, and I hit it off great with the resident cats and well as the grandkids when they come to visit.

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? 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.

Unfortunately, one of the consequences of having irresponsible owners the first time around is that I tested a light positive for heartworms. I’m currently undergoing the Moxi-Doxy treatment protocol, which HOPE will pay for until it is completed. Given my young age and good general health, I’m expected to make a complete recovery. 

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! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU! Although we’re available separately, Kate and I think it would be the cat’s meow if you were looking for a matched pair of fawn and white Chihuahuas and adopted both of us!

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.

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 Rocky, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate white-with-red-spots Chihuahua mix fella who soaks up Foster Mom’s attention when she pets me. Wouldn’t you know that cuddling in her lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? I’m very calm for a Chihuahua, and my favorite sport is sleeping!

My former owners were deported and left me behind in their apartment complex. Neighbors fed me for a while until my HOPE foster mom stepped up to the plate and brought me to the safe haven of her home. I get along great with the small dogs and resident cats; however, children scare me. It would suit me just fine if I’m the only pet-child in my adoptive home. At first I’m a little skittish when someone new tries to pick me up, but with patience, I blossom and let my sweet spirit shine through.  

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?

Hi there! I'm Sebastian, and my foster mom describes me as a super-energetic, happy-go-lucky teenager who is always ready for the next adventure. If you are looking for a dog who will keep you active, entertained, and smiling every day, I just might be your perfect match!

My Ideal Day

My perfect day starts with an epic game of fetch in the backyard. When we are not playing fetch, I love to start a game of "catch me if you can," so be prepared to keep up with my zoomies! After that, it's time to find some water. Whether it's a splash pad, kiddie pool, or even the backyard hose, I absolutely love splashing around and having fun in the water. Seriously -- I could play in the water all day. To wrap up the day, I'd love a long walk before settling in beside you for some well-earned cuddle time.

My Perfect Match

• Energy Level: High! I need lots of daily exercise, playtime, and mental enrichment to keep me happy.
• Home Preference: A home with a securely fenced yard is highly recommended so I can safely run, play, and burn off my energy.
• People & Pets: Because I'm an enthusiastic young dog, I'd do best with active owners and older children who can enjoy my playful style. I have a strong instinct to chase cats, so I'll need a feline-free home. If you already have a dog, great, I'd love to meet them first to make sure we're a good playtime match!
• Training: I'm already house-trained and crate-trained! I'm a smart boy who enjoys learning and would love to enroll in obedience class to polish up my manners.

If you're ready for a life filled with outdoor adventures, endless games of fetch, joyful water play, and lots of unconditional love, I'd love to meet 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.
