My story

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

SWEET, CALM CHIWEENIE

 

DOB 1/1/18, weight 11 #

Hey there, everyone! I’m Campanita, a very sweet and calm chestnut-and-white Chihuahua/ Dachshund mix, which is also known as a Chiweenie. I have the upright “bat” ears of a Chi and the Doxie’s elongated torso. My name is Spanish for Tinker Bell (as in “Peter Pan”), and I’m an affectionate, lovey-dovey gal who likes nothing better than to be nestled in my foster mom’s lap. Since I particularly like to hang out with hoomans, I follow my foster mom around the house just so that I can be a gentle, quiet presence near her. I get along great with the resident cats and well-behaved dogs in my foster home.

I was rescued from a heartless owner who endlessly bred me so that he could sell my Chiweenie puppies. Finally when I was eight years old and had a difficult time birthing my last litter, he realized that he couldn’t exploit me anymore. It did not take much convincing by my HOPE volunteer advocates that it was in my best interests for him to surrender me to them. Boy howdy! That was the first day in the rest of my life! How things changed when someone started loving me – no strings attached -- instead of trying to use me for personal gain.

Despite my tough history, I’m resilient! Now I’m ready to get firmly ensconced in everyone’s lap in order to share my sweet disposition and calm companionship with my forever family. Could it be you who will surround me with all the love I so deeply deserve? If so, arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave tiny paw prints all over your heart – just like I will patter around as your little shadow, following you throughout the house as you go about your daily activities.

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.
