My story

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

LIFE IS A GAME FOR MACY!

 

DOB 10/13/24, weight 35 lbs.

Meet Macy!! This gorgeous, fun-loving, long-legged, dark-haired beauty was found as a stray on the street, cowering under bushes, trying to stay cool during the hot Houston summer.  In her foster home, she is sweet, energetic, and loves snuggling with her humans (she’s a lap-dog wanna-be, and she’ll sleep on the bed if allowed). 

She is also part of a pack of six dogs - two puppies, two middle-aged and one geriatric dog – and she gets along great with everyone.  Macy frequently initiates play with her canine foster siblings, resting and playing again.

Macy’s current favorite toy is a wooden stick from the backyard, but she also enjoys fuzzy and noise-making toys, as well as bones and antlers. She likes to fetch, sometimes to return the toy and sometimes to play hard-to-get. Life is a game to Macy!

Macy rides well in the car, is very food- and treat-motivated, and is learning to "sit pretty" and other obedience commands. Macy’s ideal home would have a playful pup companion or perhaps some children and a dog door to a big fenced-in back yard.

HOPE ID D25-0911-0038

Macy’s $200 adoption fee includes the spay, vaccines, microchip, negative heartworm test, negative fecal test, and monthly prevention for heartworms and fleas.

To apply online, go to: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php.   Submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt from us but it initiates contact with us and gets the process started.

If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site Macy will be at this weekend, email us at lisagilchrist16@gmail.com and a volunteer will get back to you.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and we want to be sure that our potential adoptive families have thought about the impact of this decision carefully. To adopt an animal through HOPE, we request that you complete an Adoption Application, a copy of which is available online for cats at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php or for dogs at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. You may fill it out online or print a copy of the application and complete it prior to arriving at an adoption session. This will expedite the adoption process and will also assist our adoption counselors in matching you to a suitable pet.

We at HOPE make every effort to match our foster pets to appropriate homes. If you feel that we are too intrusive, please understand that it is because we care about their welfare.


Fees
All animals are neutered or spayed and have received age appropriate shots prior to being adopted. We ask that you provide a $100 donation for cats and a donation of $150 for dogs when you adopt your new family member from us. This donation helps us in defraying the costs of these and other medical needs of our animals.

Go meet their pets

Mobile adoption sessions are held on the weekends. All adoption sessions run from 12:00 - 4:00 pm at a variety of locations and days as noted on our website http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-locations/. For more information, please contact us at hope@homelesspets.net

More about this rescue

Our mission is to end the homelessness of cats and dogs through foster to adoption, feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return, and education.

HOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVOR (HOPE) is an all-foster, no kill adoption group based in the Houston area.

HOPE covers the cost of general medical expenses for the animals in the program, such as altering, routine vaccinations and treatment for parasites. Our foster families are asked to provide food, shelter and love to the animals for which they care. They receive no payment for the services that they provide. Without them, and the other volunteers who so selflessly do what is necessary to keep HOPE afloat, it would not be possible to run this nonprofit corporation.

One aim of HOPE is to develop a network of area rescue and humane organizations which will facilitate the rescue and placement of a variety of animals. The goal is to never have to turn away an animal in need. By forming a coalition of humane and rescue groups in the Houston area, we could potentially place all animals who need a temporary home until they are placed into a permanent one.
