Hey, Vickie, you're so fine. You're so fine, you blow my mind!! Hey Vickie! So, now that I have your attention, I think we can have a convo about why I need to be your girl.
To be fair, I'm not trying to diss my other furry friends, but some of them are SO EXTRA! Unlike those young puppies, I'm potty-trained and know the command "kennel. I may complain at first when left in the crate, but I settle down quickly. I like to play, go on walks, and greet all humans with big kisses and tail wags. If you want an outdoor buddy I'm your girl. I'd be great on hikes, and I love to swim. I am also able to settle down, play with my toys on my own, take naps in my crate, and explore the backyard when my humans need to work.
I am also VERY low maintenance when it comes to grooming. I have perfect table manners and will sit patiently before eating my breakfast or dinner. My humans can easily handle pedicures on me without any problems!
I have a fun personality and love to cuddle with my humans. My mom absolutely says I am the perfect house guest. I do need to be the only dog in the house, but trust me, with my personality and great looks, you won't need another!
I do like to pull on walks, but put on a gentle leader or other similar harness, and I'm on my best behavior. I'll even go on runs with you! I do need my space from other dogs, but when redirected, I will sit to let others pass by. I am definitely food motivated, so a treat and some praise, and I'm all yours.
Which brings me to a final thought. I am absolutely easy when it comes to food and treats. I don't need a special diet. I will even skim your pool for bugs. They are a bit crunchy, but hey, a little extra fiber never hurts.
Vickie is a Female Black Mouth Cur/Boxer Mix that we estimate to be born around 1/15/2022 and weighs 50 lbs.

More about this rescue
K-9 Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, all-breed canine rescue organization established in February 2012.
We are a rescue group for shelter dogs who run out of time. In other words, we are not a shelter, have no permanent facilities, and are not equipped to take in dogs from the public. We select dogs from the greater Houston "kill" animal control facilities who would not have made it out alive. (Don't worry! If you need help rehoming a dog, there are other non-profit groups who can assist you.)
No one involved in K-9 Angels receives ANY compensation. Our volunteers are compassionate animal welfare advocates who contribute their time, skills, and finances to shelter homeless dogs in Houston. To save the lives of the abandoned, abused, and stray dogs who end up in Houston's animal control facilities, K-9 Angels relies completely on adoption fees, donations, and our amazing volunteers.
K-9 Angels covers ALL costs for dogs currently in the program. During intake, every dog gets a microchip and is spayed or neutered (if old enough for the procedure). If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. We fund all medical care necessary, even if we have to raise extra Helping Paw funds for special cases! From the time they enter the program to the time they graduate, K-9 Angels dogs are kept up-to-date on all vaccines (DHPP, bordetella, rabies) as well as heartworm and flea prevention.
We commit to K-9 Angels dogs until they are adopted.
Our volunteer foster homes patiently provide safety, love, and integration into a household environment - a key to successful adoptions. The biographies, pictures, and even videos from foster homes are important "pup-licilty" for our dogs! We are always in need of additional foster homes.
Our goal is a "fur-ever" home! We take every precaution not to contribute to the dog overpopulation problem here in Houston. Applications are processed according to our adoption policies to insure the best situation for our dogs and the families who adopt them.
