My story

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

Amber Was Left Behind — But You Don’t Have To Leave Her Story Here

Imagine this: it’s over 100 degrees outside in the Houston heat. You’re tied up under a bridge with two of your closest companions. You’re thirsty, scared, and have no idea why the people you trusted disappeared.

That was Amber’s reality.

She and two small dogs were dumped under an overpass like trash. Left in the heat with no food, no water, and no chance, unless someone stepped in. A kind stranger found them and scrambled to get help. But here’s the heartbreaking part: rescues said they’d take the two little dogs, but not Amber. She was too big. Too “hard to place.” They were willing to save two... and leave one behind.

But not us. Scout’s Honor said yes to all three. Because we believe every dog matters, especially the ones no one else will help.

And thank goodness we did. Amber is absolutely wonderful. She’s a gorgeous, medium-sized brindle girl, maybe part Catahoula, with a sweet soul and gentle eyes. She’s friendly, calm, and affectionate. The kind of dog who melts into you during snuggle time and gazes up at you like you hung the moon.

Amber is about 4–5 years old and has quickly shown us just how special she is. She’s a calm, affectionate brindle beauty, likely a Catahoula mix, with soulful eyes and a heart full of love. She’s incredibly sweet, gentle, and well-behaved. The kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much, just a soft spot to rest and a human to love.

She seems to get along beautifully with other dogs, big and small. And her easygoing nature makes her an ideal addition to just about any home.

Amber is looking for a foster home or a forever family. Could it be you?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

SHR will require an application and home visit for the adoption of any of our animals. The customary adoption fee is $150 for dogs $85 for cats.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Scout's Honor Rescue does not currently have its own facility to keep the animals in its adoption program. All animals in our program are fostered by individuals who keep the dog or cat at their residence until it is adopted. Consider opening your home to a dog or cat in need. You become the caregiver to a precious animal – their future is in your hands! It is incredibly rewarding to know that you have given that animal the two most precious gifts- Life and Love. For many of them, this is the first kind hand they have known.
