My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet our 4 musketeers. This is Porthos. These guys have been through a lot. They were well loved by their owner, who passed away. Her father was trying to take care of them, but they escaped. He was bringing food to them, but he couldn't catch them. The nice family that bought the house asked the rescue community for help. Traci Bell with Saved By the Bell Pet Recovery and Humane Trapping and Lauren Barrios agreed to go on the rescue mission.
Porthos is a smooth coated terrier. Aramis and Porthos were trapped in the Missy trap. Porthos was very friendly, until we started medicating him. He let us know quickly that he preferred to be looked at by a real vet, not an amateur.
This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cin c innati, Lexington KY,     or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225   . We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.

Additional adoption info

Adoption application is required. Applications are checked by contacting references and veterinarians of those with pets to ensure our pups go to the best homes possible. A picture of your home or yard may be requested

All dogs and puppies are fully vetted prior to adoption (spay/neuter, rabies, 3 DHPP, bordetella and heartworm test/treat if positive) and are micro-chipped.
Our fees start at $200, transport out of Texas is arranged by us and is generally an additional $200.
We work hard to place dogs into the right families, but sometimes we realize the fit isn't quite working out for the adopter or the pet. Our contract requires if an adoption does not work out the dog is to be returned to us. We need at least two weeks notice.
