My story

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

The Energetic Explorer!

 

Est DOB 6/6/2021, weight 60 lb.

Meet Coal!

Are you ready to add a burst of energy and a whole lot of love to your life? Look no further than Coal, the wonder dog with a blend of Black Lab, German Shepherd, and Catahoula Leopard in his DNA, making him a true one-of-a-kind pup!

Coal's journey has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Once an owner surrender who lost his way and had to rely on his instincts to survive on the street, now he is a free-spirited explorer in his foster home. While he's mastered the basics like 'sit,' 'down,' and 'paw/shake,' this eager beaver is still learning and yearning for the guidance of a loving family.

Here's what makes Coal's tail wag with excitement:

1. **Tummy Rubs:** The key to his heart! Give him a belly rub, and you'll unlock a world of joy.

2. **Playing:** Whether it's fetch, tug-of-war, or a game of chase, Coal is always up for some fun and games. His boundless energy is sure to keep you entertained!

3. **Chewing:** A good chew toy is a must for Coal. It helps channel his energy and keeps him happily occupied and keeps anything edible or chewable, i.e. treats, cords, shoes, etc. out of his range.

4. **Walks:** Coal loves to explore the world one step at a time. He's an eager walker, but he's still learning the fine art of loose leash-walking.

Coal is a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs, making him a perfect companion for playdates at the dog park. As for other animals (cats), it's a bit of an unknown territory, but he might just surprise you with his friendly demeanor.

A few more things to note: Coal is a big boy who needs an equally big-hearted family. He's a bundle of energy and will thrive with a family that has the time and love to invest in his continued training and development.  He's ready to be your sidekick in all your outdoor escapades. And, speaking of energy, Coal loves to express himself and get your attention is so get ready for some lively conversations!

If you're up for the challenge and the adventure of a lifetime, Coal is ready to join your family. Hurry up and adopt him before someone else does because he's a diamond in the rough, and with your guidance, he'll shine brighter than ever before.

Come meet Coal today, and together, let's write the next chapter of his incredible journey. Prepare to be charmed by his enthusiasm and zest for life!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and we want to be sure that our potential adoptive families have thought about the impact of this decision carefully. To adopt an animal through HOPE, we request that you complete an Adoption Application, a copy of which is available online for cats at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php or for dogs at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. You may fill it out online or print a copy of the application and complete it prior to arriving at an adoption session. This will expedite the adoption process and will also assist our adoption counselors in matching you to a suitable pet.

We at HOPE make every effort to match our foster pets to appropriate homes. If you feel that we are too intrusive, please understand that it is because we care about their welfare.


Fees
All animals are neutered or spayed and have received age appropriate shots prior to being adopted. We ask that you provide a $100 donation for cats and a donation of $150 for dogs when you adopt your new family member from us. This donation helps us in defraying the costs of these and other medical needs of our animals.

Go meet their pets

Mobile adoption sessions are held on the weekends. All adoption sessions run from 12:00 - 4:00 pm at a variety of locations and days as noted on our website http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-locations/. For more information, please contact us at hope@homelesspets.net

More about this rescue

Our mission is to end the homelessness of cats and dogs through foster to adoption, feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return, and education.

HOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVOR (HOPE) is an all-foster, no kill adoption group based in the Houston area.

HOPE covers the cost of general medical expenses for the animals in the program, such as altering, routine vaccinations and treatment for parasites. Our foster families are asked to provide food, shelter and love to the animals for which they care. They receive no payment for the services that they provide. Without them, and the other volunteers who so selflessly do what is necessary to keep HOPE afloat, it would not be possible to run this nonprofit corporation.

One aim of HOPE is to develop a network of area rescue and humane organizations which will facilitate the rescue and placement of a variety of animals. The goal is to never have to turn away an animal in need. By forming a coalition of humane and rescue groups in the Houston area, we could potentially place all animals who need a temporary home until they are placed into a permanent one.
