My story

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

Lexie was rescued from a neglect case in Houston, TX. Someone had seen her walking with her “owner” down the street and stopped to ask about her because it was clear that she was not being cared for. She was extremely malnourished and was missing a lot of hair.

After talking with the owner, he was willing to surrender Lexie to the person who stopped to ask about her, so that she could be better cared for. The finder reached out to many local rescues and was unable to find anyone to take her in. She messaged SSR on Instagram and we of course knew we had to help Lexie.

Lexie arrived and is doing great. She is putting weight on and her coat is coming in beautifully. She loves her people and will roll over for belly rubs. She has a silly side and will make you laugh everyday. She was with dogs in Texas and was fine as long as they ignored her and left her alone. She is not good with cats. She is heartworm positive, but will be treated at SSR’s expense.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step to adopt one of our dogs is to complete an adoption application. Once you have submitted your application, a volunteer with call your personal and veterinary references. Following references, SSR will send out a volunteer to conduct a home visit and meet any members of your household. We come to your home and further discuss the adoption process.

The adoption application will let us know a little bit about you, your home, your lifestyle and what you are looking for in a companion. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to fill out our application to adopt one of our dogs. Your application will either be accepted or denied after the volunteer submits a home visit report.
