My story

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

**This dog is with Corridor Rescue in Houston, Texas**

Meet Skipper! 🐾

If you are looking for a sporty and energetic dog to match your aesthetic, then look no further than our girl Skipper! Skipper originally came to the rescue a little over two years ago, making her one of our longer-term residents. She came in with trauma to her front leg, which has since been amputated. Over the past two years, Skipper has fully healed and is now showing us her little quirks. So, let’s begin as Skipper is ready to impress her newest adopter!

Skipper is another one of our cute black and white pups, and as stated before, she is a tripod. Do not let this fool you, though, as Skipper is one of the strongest and most athletic dogs at the rescue, and this is not an exaggeration! Skipper’s favorite game is fetch, and when anyone is bored and needs a dog to entertain them, Skipper is their first choice. Skipper can play fetch for a long time and is definitely perfect for a baseball or softball fan. Once she’s tired, though, Skipper reveals her secret cuddly side and loves to relax close to her people.

Skipper is learning basic commands such as sit, down, and leave it. She needs more training on the leash, but responds well to commands and treats to help redirect her pulling. Skipper is not good with other dogs or cats and would do best as the only pet in the home. Skipper may need some extra time to get to know you as well, but some treats and a ball should do the trick.

Skipper has done her part healing her leg and entertaining us with her sporty personality, but now she is looking for someone to relax at home with. Are you that someone?

How to Adopt from Corridor Rescue

Thank you for choosing to adopt your new family member from us!  You are saving a life when you adopt. Our team would be delighted to help you make the right match with the dog or puppy that will best suit your family and lifestyle. The first step is to fill out the adoption application below.
To adopt you must:
•    Show a government-issued picture ID
•    Be at least 21 years of age

Which dog do I choose?

You can see our adoptable dogs and puppies waiting to meet someone just like you right here.  If you find one you love, please put his or her name on your application.  Or, if you still aren't sure which dog is right for you, just note “undecided” in that section. Our placement team volunteers will help you meet your match! They'll read over your application and talk to you about which dogs you may want to consider.

What happens after I apply?

After we look over your application, a member of our placement team will talk with you on the phone about the dog you'd like to adopt and tell you more about him or her. Our volunteer may arrange for a home visit to help you ensure you are prepared to meet the dog's needs. If you aren’t local, your home visit will involve taking us on a virtual tour of your home via video or photographs.

How do I get my new dog?

If you are in the Houston area, we encourage you to come to our facility to meet the dogs, or if a dog you are interested in is in a foster home, a meet and greet can be arranged.  There is a $200 adoption fee for adult dogs, $250 for puppies under a year old. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and have been tested for heartworm disease.  Puppies too young to be spayed or neutered are available through our Foster-to-Adopt option.  With our Continuing Care program, the adoption fee is waived for some senior and special needs dogs, and an annual stipend for medical care is included.
We adopt throughout the US and Canada. We can assist in arranging travel for your new dog if you aren’t local.  The transport fee is $75 - $325, depending on your location and mode of travel.  We’ll be happy to discuss that with you. 

Every dog adopted from Corridor Rescue comes with our lifetime promise: If, for any reason, you can no longer care for your dog, he or she is always welcome to come back to us.

More about this rescue

Corridor Rescue Inc. is an all-breed 501(c)(3) non-profit street dog rescue on a mission of mercy, rescue and awareness -- a mission to save lives and correct an injustice to animals who have been thrown away and left to fend for themselves in an area in Houston dubbed the "Corridor of Cruelty." Here, trash and animals are discarded without thought on a regular basis. We're not talking about a handful of animals, but hundreds of animals fighting to simply survive another day.

Founded by one person, Corridor Rescue has grown its team of volunteers, from all walks of life, united in an effort to help this community of orphaned animals in desperate need of help. We work to rescue hard to capture dogs and cats, to rescue and rehabilitate diseased and injured dogs, to facilitate the rescue of animals mainly from the Corridor of Cruelty but also from other areas of Houston, and to educate about spay/neuter and animal cruelty laws.

Success happens on the streets every day, yet we know that our fight is far from over.
