My story

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

Meet Dax!

Breed: Teacup Shepherd/Pittie Mix
Age: ~1 year
Weight: ~30 lbs

Looking for a sweet, snuggly sidekick? Meet Dax, a lovable Pittie mix who’s ready to steal your heart, and maybe your lap, too!

Dax is a gentle, medium-energy boy who adores his people and loves nothing more than curling up for cuddles and giving soft kisses. He’s a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, you’ll see his goofy, affectionate personality shine through.

He’s currently living with several other dogs (nine, to be exact!) and gets along great with them. While he’s shown a little food-guarding around human meals, he responds well to correction and has done beautifully with structured feeding routines.

House & Crate Training:
Dax is doing fantastic with his potty training — he knows to go outside and is great about holding it. He’s okay in his crate, though he’ll sometimes “chat” if he knows you’re home (he just doesn’t want to miss out on the fun!).

Other Notes:
Great with other dogs
Cats & kids: unknown
Walks nicely on leash, no reactivity observed
No aggression or separation anxiety noted
Loves toys, especially noisy ones (the crinklier, the better!)

May indulge in a bit of backyard digging if left alone (he might have a little mole in him).

Dax would thrive in a loving home where he can continue to build confidence and get plenty of affection. He’d enjoy having a friendly dog buddy to play with, but he’d also do well as the only pup if he gets lots of human attention.

If you’re looking for a loyal, tenderhearted companion with a silly side, Dax is your guy!


Dax is currently in a loving foster home in the Houston, Texas area. He is able to travel out of state!

More about this rescue

ThisIsHouston is a rescue dedicated to helping those who cannot ask for help!

The inundation of graphic dog posts and images on social media seems to have rendered a lot of people helpless. The bystander effect has grabbed a hold of our city and it isn’t loosening its grip. Most people are not aware of the stray overpopulation problem going on in this city. The others don’t help because somebody else will. Well, we are ‘somebody else’. We have no super powers. We have no magic formula or secret that gives us the ability to do what we do. We are just an example of what can be done when people come together for a common cause and leave egos at the door. Why do we do this? Because we choose to. Because we are tired of dogs suffering needlessly. And because we refuse to live in a world where there is a choice not to help.
