My story

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

Meet Forrest: A Loving Companion in Need of a Forever Home
Forrest is a beautiful, 12-year-old pit bull mix with a heart as big as his stature. Like many of us, Forrest could benefit from a little help with his weight, but that only adds to his charm. This affectionate boy has been waiting for someone to open their heart and home to him, and he deserves a place where he can feel safe and loved.
Forrest's Journey
Forrest’s story began in August 2018 when he was rescued from the Harris County Killing Shelter. He found temporary refuge with another rescue organization and a foster family. Unfortunately, when the foster family could no longer accommodate him, Forrest found himself needing a new place to stay. With no space available, we built a special run for him, hoping it would only be a temporary solution. The rescue organization promised to find him a new home quickly, max he was to be her was 3 weeks, but as time passed, Forrest remained with us. Like many unscrupulous rescues....they abandoned Forrest here and never looked back.
The Ideal Home for Forrest
Forrest is incredibly affectionate and enjoys the simple pleasures of life, like snuggling up with his pastel blue blanket. However, he is also dog selective, which means he would thrive best in a home without other dogs. He needs someone who can provide a stable, loving environment where he can enjoy his golden years.
Health and Care
Forrest is in excellent health and has been fully vetted. He’s ready to transition into a loving home where he can be the center of attention and receive plenty of treats and affection.
Adoption Details
We have reduced our adoption fees from $625 to $250 to help find Forrest his perfect match. For the right person, we might be able to work out something even more special. Our primary goal is to find Forrest a loving home, ideally outside of Texas, where he can spend the rest of his days surrounded by love and care.
How You Can Help
Are you the hero Forrest has been waiting for? Do you know someone who might be? If you can open your heart and home to this wonderful boy, please contact us. We are hopeful that somewhere out there is a person who is ready to provide Forrest with the love and companionship he deserves.
Help us give Forrest the happy ending he has been waiting for. Together, we can change his life forever.
