My story

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

Meet Ray

******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************

We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you area not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.

Ray, aka Benjamin, is a neutered, 5 month old male lab mix, currently weighing around 35lbs. He is in a foster home in Houston, TX, and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is found.

This adorable pup is ready to be your bff and loyal sidekick! Ray really LOVES his humans and just wants to be wherever you are. After burning off his zoomies, he’s content to hunker down next to his foster mom while she works, entertaining himself with his favorite toys.

Ray currently lives with a pug, and is working on respecting her boundaries. He hasn’t figured out that he’s not her size and plays a little too rough. However, around bigger dogs, he plays well and listens to their cues to stop. He is nervous when first meeting a new dog or person and will bark at first. He is getting much better as he’s learning that they are just future friends!

This smartie is mostly potty trained, does well in a crate and is a SUPER fast learner! Ray hasn’t shown any signs of resource guarding, but will try to help himself to his pug friend’s food. He hasn’t been around kids or cats, but we feel he’d do great with older kids. He’s a big puppy working on his manners, so may be too enthusiastic for the smalls.

Ray would love an active home with a yard and another pup to play with! Because he loves his human more than anything, he could thrive in a human only home as long as he has adventures and attention. If you’re looking for the goodest boy and constant companion, Ray is the one for you!

***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. ***
