My story

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

Hi!

My name is Roofus! I am a male Chihuahua mix who is about 5 years old and weigh 12 pounds!

I found myself in a rural shelter and quite in bad shape. My best friends at Houston Animal Rescue Team - HART saw pass my condition and took me in! I was so skinny and my back legs were not functioning properly. My care takers quickly realized something was seriously wrong with me and they rushed me to the doggy doctor. There, it was found that I suffered a Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia [https://www.acvs.org/small-animal/diaphragmatic-hernia]. So, to Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists I went and they fixed me!

With time, I gain much needed weight and regain mobility in my back legs. I feel so so much better!

Because of everything that happened to me, I can be a bit quirky at time and I would prefer a home without other dogs and with very patient owners.To meet me, please fill out an adoption application on https://www.hartrescue.com/adoption-process

More about this rescue

HART’s board is comprised of Houston-area people who have long been active in dog rescue, and who want to make a difference in outcomes for stray dogs and those surrendered to local shelters. We are a kennel-based system built on a beautiful property in Tomball, Texas.

Rescued dogs are fully vetted and, when ready, adopted out on-site at the facility, or through meetings with fosters. HART also coordinates with shelters in the northern U.S. to find homes for dogs that aren’t adopted locally. Additionally, HART provides information, education and community advocacy to improve animal welfare, via adoption and fundraising events, visits to schools, and through social media. We are working with a dedicated group of volunteers to reaffirm that Houston has a terrific HART.
