My story

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

GIVES 200% IN ALL ENDEAVORS

 

DOB 11/1/18, weight 40 pounds

Arf! Arf, everyone! I’m Gordo, a sweet, gentle, even-tempered yellow Cattle Dog mix. My hooman mom describes me as “a lover and friend.” Need I say more about my compatibility with hoomans – both adults and kids? She also christened me as a “true baller” because I absolutely live to play fetch. In fact, I’m so smart that she thinks I’d do great in agility dog sports. I give 200% in all my endeavors, including protecting my foster home.

I get along great with the cats and other dogs in my foster home because I tend to submit to the stronger pet personalities. That said, I’m here because the dogs in my original home didn’t accept me as the “newbie” of the pack. In fact, I was under threat of being attacked so I was dumped outside until I was finally rescued to the safety of my foster home. I do fit in great here, but unfortunately my hooman mom is under the threat of eviction and wisely is trying to find me the perfect forever home that I deserve.

Do you have room in your heart and hearth for a handsome, sweet-faced, adaptable fella who will love you 200%? Then arrange to meet me! Incidentally there are advantages to adopting an adult dog like me. I have perfect house habits and won’t chew or destroy your stuff.

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.
