My story

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

Buddy Boy is available for adoption, and his adoption fee is $400. He is a 5‑year‑old Maltipoo who weighs 13 lbs. Our vets noted that his labwork was unremarkable, and he is in good overall health. Buddy Boy came to us after his owner experienced medical issues that made it impossible for her to continue caring for him, so the decision was made to help him find a new home where all his needs can be met.

When he first arrived, he was in need of a good groom, and some itchy spots had him chewing at his coat. Now that he’s been fully groomed, he’s looking and feeling much better—and officially ready for his fresh start. Buddy Boy can be a little nervous at first, but he warms up quickly and has done well around other dogs.

We want every animal in our care to begin their next chapter in the best possible health. When you adopt from us, you can expect the following to already be completed:

Spay/neuter surgery

Microchip placement

All core vaccinations

Blood and fecal testing, with treatment provided as needed

Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention

A complimentary wellness exam 7–10 days after adoption

Please note: Because we don’t observe our animals in home environments, we cannot guarantee they are housebroken. Adopters must be 21 or older and live within an hour of our facility.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet‑and‑greet, we’d love to help you get to know Buddy Boy.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees for adult dogs start at $300, though could be higher based on adoption demand and medical costs. Our adoption fees for puppies start at $400, though could be higher based on adoption demand, and includes 4 veterinary visits to update vaccines and perform spay/neuter. Some dogs have higher adoption fees because of adoption interest

Our shelter mission focuses on medical and behavioral rehab cases, so our adoption fees never cover our costs.

We have an adoption application for dogs and cats and will check a vet reference as well as information regarding your home situation and pet compatibility.

Some adoptions will require a home visit.

Adoption application

More about this shelter

Animal Hope opened its doors as a standalone shelter on February 1, 2015.

Prior to that, Animal Hope operated as a small rescue at Animal Hospital Southwest. As the municipal veterinarian for the city of Fort Worth, Animal Hospital Southwest frequently pulled difficult cases that the city was not equipped to treat and rehabilitate due to budgetary and time constraints.

From this organization was born the Animal Hope shelter, a rescue focusing on rehabilitation and “second chance” adoptions.
