My story

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

7 y old Minnie and 8 y old Bella were surrendered to rescue when their former owner fell ill. Even though they are non-related, they lived together their entire lives since they were puppies, so we would like for them to go to a forever home together, as they are quite bonded.

Even though they are two dogs, they truly are very quiet and easy to manage, as their foster mom will tell you. They are both extremely sweet, loving, well-mannered pups, who are going to be a great addition to any loving home. They are not only potty trained but also crate trained, and well-behaved and low-maintenance companions.

They are good with dogs, cats, and kids, and are usually very quiet, unless someone is at the door. They currently live in a foster home with multiple dogs and 4 cats and get along with each one of them.

They are both 55 lb, current on their shots, kept on heartworm and flea preventative, and are spayed and microchipped.

They have a zest for life, and love going on walks, hikes, and exploring new places.
They both understand basic commands like sit, down, shake, crate, outside, and stay and are eager to learn more.

Bella is a basenji mix has a sweet tooth for treats! Whether it's for training, rewards, or just because, she will happily sit, stay, and give you those heartwarming puppy eyes in exchange for a tasty treat. She knows commands such as sit, down, outside, crate, and stay. She has an abundance of love and affection to offer! Bella is a certified kissing expert. She will shower you with kisses and snuggles, making every day a little brighter. Bella is not just a companion; she is a family member. She is loyal, protective, and incredibly loving. She has a heart of gold.

Minnie is a lab mix, who is a social butterfly and adores being around people. She thrives on human interaction, and her tail never stops wagging when she receives pets and attention. If you love to go on walks, Minnie is the ideal companion.

She eagerly embraces the opportunity to explore the great outdoors with her leash on.

Both pups are delightful and well-trained family pets who used to be regulars at their daycares, where they enjoyed playing with pups of all sizes.

They are being fostered in Texas, but can travel to any state, and even Canada for the right home.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Please fill out application at www.savesomesouls.com Yards must be fully fenced, no electric fence accepted.

2.

Interview

We will talk to you, your references, and vet, to make sure you and the pet are a good fit for each other.

3.

Meet the Pet

Once your application is approved, you get to meet the pet at our premise or at foster home. Meeting a pet does not guarantee adoption.

4.

Home Check

If the meet goes well, we do a homecheck. In some cases, facetime video works out fine, in some other, we go in person, depending on the dog

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

If approved for adoption, you sign the adoption contract, pay the adoption fee and we send you your new best friend.

6.

Take the Pet Home

Most of our pups are fostered in Texas, and can be transported out of state, for a cost of $250 - $300

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees are $250 - $350 for most dogs. However, breed specific dogs and puppies cost more.

Special needs, & senior dogs may have a reduced fee. See individual dog profile for specific adoption fee.
If you choose one of our pets, please submit an initial adoption application available at www.savesomesouls.com to proceed further. We do not answer inquiries, without application, due to time constraint.

We spay/neuter our animals prior to adoption unless they are under 3 months old, for which we will require a spay/neuter agreement in place, and you will have to make a $150 deposit which will be refunded after we receive the proof of sterilization surgery. Once fixed, we transfer the pup's chip to you.

Out of town adopters must live in a city where we have our volunteers available, and the pet must be returned to us if it does not work out, so you have to hold them till we arrange transport.
Adoption approval is only final after meet and greet and homecheck are complete.
There are often multiple applications filled out for the same animal. In these cases our decision on which applicant adopts the animal is based solely on the best home for that animal after interview, all home visits, meet & greets and reference checks are complete.
If you are not selected to adopt one particular animal, it does not mean you can't adopt from us if your adoption application has been approved. We will work with you to find another animal in our rescue who will be the best fit for your home.

More about this rescue

Our animal rescue section has been organized with very compassionate and dedicated volunteers whose only goal is to save a pet.
Each day hundreds of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the kill-shelters of America. In Houston itself, we have the largest population of strays and our shelters are full with strays and abandoned animals including those surrendered by their owners because of reasons such as unwillingness to take care of them, pregnancy, divorce, loss of job, loss of home, prison intake, loss of compassion, empathy, you name it. Add to this, are abandoned pets on the side of the street by owners. Our mission is to give these puppies another chance at love and life. If every person will stop buying from breeders and adopt a shelter pet and spay and neuter them, we will be able to eradicate our euthanasia problem.
