Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Britta is a very sweet German Shepherd who is very good with people and is quite a velcro pup.
Britta was rescued from a high kill shelter of Texas, thanks to her foster mom stepping up for her. She had a rough life before that. Xray of her leg showed several very tiny pieces of metal fragments. The vet thought that it was shotgun pellets lodged in her leg, although they are not interfering with her walks or daily activities.
Despite the atrocities against her, Britta, like a true German shepherd, is loyal to the core and a very loving and trusting pup.
She is in a foster home in Texas with a second doggie foster brother, and gets along well, although she is the dominant one (German shepherd girls are always the diva). She has not been tested with cats, and has not lived with kids in our presence, so we will prefer a home where she could be an only child.
Lately, Britta has fallen in love with a rubber bone toy and LOVES to have it thrown so she can fetch it and bring it back. She knows how to sit and shake with both paws. She likes to go on walks and does well on a leash. She has some insecurities in the car and whines during rides, probably due to past trauma, but it can be worked with.
All in all, she is a really, really good dog.
Britta is 8 years old, 60 lb, and fully vetted, spayed and heartworm negative pup. She is kept on heartworm and flea preventatives. She is currently in Texas but can be transported to several states and even Canada to the right home.
To adopt our pups, yards must be fully and adequately fenced. She is in Houston TX but can be transported to several states in USA and Canada.
To adopt Britta, please send an application via savesomesouls.com
Britta's' adoption fee includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery and recovery, heartworm and flea prevention), a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, and Harness.
Our dogs are fully assessed by foster parents, vets and behaviorists, as well as videos and video chats are available to observe their manners in public. We are extremely transparent and like to share everything negative and positive with the adopters, to ensure it's a good fit and they are not returned to us, as the trips are very stressful on them.
Houston is home to million strays, many who are abandoned, many born on the streets, many who escaped while living in the yard, which is common in Texas. Since our rescue does not get grants that shelters get, we use adoption fee to help the pups and kitties in our care. Your adoption fee goes towards vetting and feeding our long term and permanent fosters, and unadoptable pups, as well as towards the monthly care and preventatives etc of our pets. By adopting one pup from our rescue, you make room for another dog to be rescued our high kill shelter, thus becoming an integral part of our mission to save as many unfortunate dogs off the streets and shelters as possible. So Thank you for choosing to rescue, and not go to a breeder.

Interview
We will talk to you, your references, and vet, to make sure you and the pet are a good fit for each other.

Meet the Pet
Once your application is approved, you get to meet the pet at our premise or at foster home. Meeting a pet does not guarantee adoption.
4.
Home Check
If the meet goes well, we do a homecheck. In some cases, facetime video works out fine, in some other, we go in person, depending on the dog
5.
Sign Adoption Contract
If approved for adoption, you sign the adoption contract, pay the adoption fee and we send you your new best friend.
6.
Take the Pet Home
Most of our pups are fostered in Texas, and can be transported out of state, for a cost of $250 - $300
Additional adoption info
Our adoption fees are $250 - $350 for most dogs. However, breed specific dogs and puppies cost more.
Special needs, & senior dogs may have a reduced fee. See individual dog profile for specific adoption fee.
If you choose one of our pets, please submit an initial adoption application available at www.savesomesouls.com to proceed further. We do not answer inquiries, without application, due to time constraint.
We spay/neuter our animals prior to adoption unless they are under 3 months old, for which we will require a spay/neuter agreement in place, and you will have to make a $150 deposit which will be refunded after we receive the proof of sterilization surgery. Once fixed, we transfer the pup's chip to you.
Out of town adopters must live in a city where we have our volunteers available, and the pet must be returned to us if it does not work out, so you have to hold them till we arrange transport.
Adoption approval is only final after meet and greet and homecheck are complete.
There are often multiple applications filled out for the same animal. In these cases our decision on which applicant adopts the animal is based solely on the best home for that animal after interview, all home visits, meet & greets and reference checks are complete.
If you are not selected to adopt one particular animal, it does not mean you can't adopt from us if your adoption application has been approved. We will work with you to find another animal in our rescue who will be the best fit for your home.

Our animal rescue section has been organized with very compassionate and dedicated volunteers whose only goal is to save a pet.
Each day hundreds of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the kill-shelters of America. In Houston itself, we have the largest population of strays and our shelters are full with strays and abandoned animals including those surrendered by their owners because of reasons such as unwillingness to take care of them, pregnancy, divorce, loss of job, loss of home, prison intake, loss of compassion, empathy, you name it. Add to this, are abandoned pets on the side of the street by owners. Our mission is to give these puppies another chance at love and life. If every person will stop buying from breeders and adopt a shelter pet and spay and neuter them, we will be able to eradicate our euthanasia problem.
