My story

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

2 yr old Rocky is an intelligent and docile boy. He is a gentle giant.

He is a happy-go-lucky boy who learns commands fast. He came from a home with many dogs and has never had any issue with them. In his current home, he has been kept separated from his foster brother who is reactive to other dogs, but he sees them through the gate and never once barks.

Rocky is little timid in new situations. He loves car rides.

He is excellent with children. He loves for the neighborhood kids to pet him. He is so polite and never jumps on anyone.

Rocky is potty-trained and crate trained, although he is rarely crated, since he is very perfect outside a crate. During the freeze, he was patient about going out, and never once demanded to be taken out. He is a really sweet and tolerant pup.

Rocky likes to run around in the backyard but once he is inside the house, he loves to lay on his foster parents’ bed or on the couch to feel closed to his humans.

His foster dad says that he is the perfect dog.

Rocky is 80 lb, neutered, is microchipped and is on heartworm and flea prevention. He can travel to most states and Canada for the right home. A fully fenced yard is mandatory for our dogs.

Rocky is a flexible dog and lives to make his human happy.

Rescue story: Rocky's owners always used to leave him outside and he would come up to the neighbor's home. Finally they moved and did not take Rocky with them. His neighbor took him in and is fostering him.

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.
