My story

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

Hi y'all - I'm Paige! My foster dad says that in the dictionary, next to the word "puppy, there's a picture of me. I don't know what all that means, but it sounds like a compliment.

I am currently fostering with my brother, Jimmy (we have two other sibs fostering elsewhere). Jimmy is a little smaller than me, but we love to wrestle and hang out. As his bigger sister, I feel like I have to show him around and encourage him to try new things. We have an older, bigger foster brother - I call him Ol' Grumpus - and he acts like he doesn't like puppies very much, but I'm sure it's just because I he isn't used to great puppies like us. Still, I'm very respectful without being timid, and I can take a hint when he tells me to calm down and back off. I'm just so cute and friendly, I'm sure I can get along with all kinds of other dogs.

I have a couple of chew toys I really like pushing around. One is an elephant and another is a lion, and they are no match for me. I'm too young to be housebroken, obviously, but I do love a quick trip to the backyard, where I often do my business - seems easier than making a mess in my play area. It took me about five minutes to learn how to master the back patio steps - up and down! - and I love to explore. I found a dead, dried-out lizard in the bushes, and it was super cool and gross!

When it's rest time, I'm pretty chill in my crate. I try to save most of my noises for when I'm ready for grub because I love to eat! An energetic, growing girl like me needs regular meals, after all. You might see me bouncing around and think I'm too spunky for snuggle time, but boy would you be wrong! I love curling up with my foster people or a blanket on the sofa for a little snooze time.

I can't wait to find my fur-ever family. I think I would fit in great with other dogs or a home with young children.

Paige is a female Chihuahua/Terrier mix with an estimated date of birth of 2/26/24. She weighs about 3lbs as of 4/14/24.

More about this rescue

K-9 Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, all-breed canine rescue organization established in February 2012.

We are a rescue group for shelter dogs who run out of time. In other words, we are not a shelter, have no permanent facilities, and are not equipped to take in dogs from the public. We select dogs from the greater Houston "kill" animal control facilities who would not have made it out alive. (Don't worry! If you need help rehoming a dog, there are other non-profit groups who can assist you.)

No one involved in K-9 Angels receives ANY compensation. Our volunteers are compassionate animal welfare advocates who contribute their time, skills, and finances to shelter homeless dogs in Houston. To save the lives of the abandoned, abused, and stray dogs who end up in Houston's animal control facilities, K-9 Angels relies completely on adoption fees, donations, and our amazing volunteers.

K-9 Angels covers ALL costs for dogs currently in the program. During intake, every dog gets a microchip and is spayed or neutered (if old enough for the procedure). If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. We fund all medical care necessary, even if we have to raise extra Helping Paw funds for special cases! From the time they enter the program to the time they graduate, K-9 Angels dogs are kept up-to-date on all vaccines (DHPP, bordetella, rabies) as well as heartworm and flea prevention.

We commit to K-9 Angels dogs until they are adopted.
Our volunteer foster homes patiently provide safety, love, and integration into a household environment - a key to successful adoptions. The biographies, pictures, and even videos from foster homes are important "pup-licilty" for our dogs! We are always in need of additional foster homes.

Our goal is a "fur-ever" home! We take every precaution not to contribute to the dog overpopulation problem here in Houston. Applications are processed according to our adoption policies to insure the best situation for our dogs and the families who adopt them.
