My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you would like more information about Catfish or are interested in adopting him, please send an email to adoptcatfish@gmail.com

Hello! I'm Catfish and I'm looking for my forever family! I'm a blue brindle pitbull mix who was saved from euthanization at a high-kill shelter by my first foster family back in March. Since then, I’ve been hanging tight while I completed heartworm treatment. But now I’m ready to settle in with my perfect family.

I'm only 2+ years old, but I’m an old man at heart. I love people and my very energetic foster sister, but really I'd probably rather be an only child because she is so hyper! I thrive with lots of love, affection and attention, and will not hesitate to let you know when I'm not done being petted. I have proven to be a good companion for kids (I lived with a small human for 3 whole months!) and other dogs, but I'd probably do best with an older or calmer dog brother or sister since I'm so chill. I am mostly okay with cats, but my foster mom thinks I’d chase ‘em if they gave me a chance!
When my original foster mom, Amy, saved me from BARC in Houston right before I was scheduled for euthanization, the doctors found out I was HW+. Fortunately, Amy took me to get my heartworm treatments and I just finished my last round. I have been fully vaccinated and neutered, and now just need regular routine check-ups and heartworm and flea preventatives.

Please visit my facebook page at the link below to see video and more pictures of me and to follow my journey to finding my humans. If you think you might be the one for me, email my foster parents at adoptcatfish@gmail.com, and they will ask you to fill out an application. If everything looks good, then we can meet!
