My story

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

Duchess and her brother were purchased as a puppy by an elderly woman, who unfortunately fell victim to dementia. The two siblings had no one to take care of and were often found roaming the streets in search of food.

Finally, the brother died. His frail body could not take it anymore. Duchess was left to fend for herself, until she found a loving foster home and SSS rescued her.

Duchess is 11 years old Afghan Hound, who is about 45 lb, current on her shots, heartworm negative and now being kept on heartworm and flea preventative. She is also spayed and microchipped.

It is evident that she was very well taken care of until her former owner's health started declining. She is very social and thrives on human attention.

She doesn’t jump up onto people. She loves to cuddle. She’s regal and she carries herself that way.

She is very loving, and considers herself a lap dog. She quietly lays next to or on her foster mom, while she works on her computer.

Despite being 11, she is very playful with her toddler human sister, and also loves to run around their yard.

Although she lives with dogs and cats in her current foster home, we prefer her going to a home without any other pet, to minimize her stress and get her the full attention and affection that she deserves

Duchess is not only potty trained but also crate trained, making her a well-behaved and low-maintenance companion. She is eager to please and is very obedient.

Duchess is 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.
