My story

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

GETS ALONG WITH EVERYONE!

 

DOB 1/1/24 WEIGHT 16 #

Hey there, everyone! I’m Henry, a loving, perky, and adorable tan-and-white Jack Russell Terrier/ Chihuahua mix fella who always puts my best paw forward! Don’t you love the white tip on the end of my tail? I have a sweet, friendly personality that’s good with children, small dogs, and cats. I love to hang out in my foster mom’s lap when she sits on the sofa, where we binge on Animal Planet or Netflix.

I was rescued from a Fresno, TX home where I was cruelly kept tied up outside with no protection from the elements. In my opinion, a yard is meant to run and play with toys in, and a home is meant to live and cuddle with hoomans in. Needless to say, I breathed a sigh of relief when I arrived at the safe haven of my foster home! I’m a good boy who’s already crate-trained.

Now I’m ready to bring my shining personality and playful antics to my new home. Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is 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.
