Story
Looking for an active, smart boy who would love a structured home with plenty of exercise?  Chevy is your guy!     Chevy has been in our program for a few years now as he needs to go to that perfect home that understands him and his needs.  You see, Chevy is a working/herding breed of dog and was on his own to fend for himself for so long on the rough streets of Houston that he's leery of people until he gets to know you.  Chevy had been living under a truck for a while (it was a Chevy) while a Scout's Honor volunteer was working to gain his trust. He kept going every day to feed him and give him some attention. The business near where he was let him come onto their property and provided him some shelter.  Unfortunately, because there was a busy street nearby, Chevy got bumped by a few cars when he was out and about and lost a few teeth as a result.  Luckily, he did not sustain any significant injuries, and just needed to eat and get a bath.  Fast-forward a few years, Chevy is in boarding and loves other dogs and loves to play !  He is a high energy dog, but is also very smart and alert. He needs A LOT of exercise and positive reinforcement, but will pick up very quickly on what you are teaching him. He would be a great dog for agility or flyball!!  As long as you keep him busy and challenged he will impress you with how well he can learn things. He just wants someone who will give him the direction, attention and structure he wants/needs. He would make a great dog for an active home with NO kiddos.  Kiddos are just too unpredictable for this guy.  He also needs a home that understands how to properly introduce him to new people and watch his cues.  Chevy can be very protective of his people and area, so proper intros are a must.  He would do best in a home that does not have a lot of new people coming in/out. True to his Kelpie/Basenji breed, Chevy likes to herd and run and play .  Check out this video of him just having a grand time running - look at those turns!      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L81s-TWX9SA&feature=youtu.be  Kelpie's/Basenji's are unique problem solvers and will find a way to do whatever he deems necessary.  True to these breed, he will also be fierlcy protective of his family (getting back to proper intros).  Chevy fits these traits to a T, and anyone who knows and loves the herding breeds would just adore little Chevy!!   Chevy is up to date on vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped.   Please contact us at info@scoutshonor.org if you are interested in fostering or adopting this precious guy!  You can read all about our foster and adoption process, as well as make a donation for his care, on our website at www.scoutshonor.org.    Scout's Honor Rescue is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill TX shelters. EIN # is 87-0773073 Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/scoutshonorrescue or Instagram at www.instagram.com/scoutshonorrescue We have multiple ways to donate: Venmo:  @ScoutsHonor-Rescue Paypal: www.paypal.me/scoutshonorrescue   https://scoutshonor.org/take-action/donate/ We are strictly volunteer based, no salaries are paid and 100% of donations go towards rescuing dogs January 22, 2025, 6:49 pm

Story
Browny is what we call him he isvery energetic and loving. He loves to play outside. The magic word is mailbox and grandma he enjoys being walked and going to grandma house. Due to my illness Im not able to do the things Browny enjoys like going on walks and playing outside. Im currently looking for Him to find a loving home someone who will love him as much as I do. Im unsure of how old he is but I purchased Browny when my kids were 4/6 and they are 20/22 now. But I tell you he is still full of life and energy he has the stamina of a young dog, so wherever he goes he is ready to run free. He is house trainer and will alert you when he wants to go outside to use the bathroom and come back inside. Hopefully again I can find him somewhere where he can go to play and love the next family.

Story
Just look at that sweet, happy face and those perky ears! Jasper is as charming as he is handsome, with his unique coat and sparkling personality. He’s been waiting far too long—years—in boarding for his chance to find a loving home, and we can’t wait for him to finally experience the love and comfort he truly deserves. Jasper is the ultimate fetch enthusiast! He lives for the thrill of the chase and will happily bring the ball back, ready for endless rounds of fun. But he’s not just about play—this smart boy is also incredibly affectionate and loves to give hugs. Imagine having this happy, smiling boy greeting you every day! With his stunning mix of Nordic Spitz and Carolina Dog, Jasper isn’t just a pretty face—he’s also super smart and eager to please. At about 2–3 years old, he’s in his prime, ready to learn new tricks and explore life with his forever family. Jasper rides great in the car, plays well with other dogs, and thrives on adventure and activity. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a fetch partner, or just a loyal best friend to share your days, Jasper is the perfect match. After years of waiting, Jasper deserves a family who will give him the love, exercise, and stability he’s been craving. If you’re not ready to commit to adoption just yet, fostering is also an option—Scout’s Honor Rescue covers all fostering expenses, so it’s a win-win for you and this amazing pup. Let’s get Jasper out of boarding and into the loving home he’s been dreaming of! Fill out an application at www.scoutshonor.org and meet the boy who’s guaranteed to fill your life with joy, laughter, and endless tail wags. Don’t wait—Jasper is ready to be your fetch-loving, car-riding, hug-giving best friend! &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143April 7, 2025, 1:18 am

Story
Simba is a sweet, loving, and friendly 2-year-old dog who gets along with everyone—both people and animals! He’s all about cuddles, playtime, and going on walks. Simba’s great with kids, making him the perfect family companion. His loyal and loving nature makes him an amazing best friend. He’s up-to-date on all his shots, so he’s ready to find his forever home right away! Due to religious reasons, we’re unable to keep Simba, and we're hoping to find him a new home where he can continue to be loved and cared for. We want to make sure he goes to a family that will give him the attention and care he deserves. We are located in Houston, TX, so if you’re interested, we’d be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet here. Please reach out if you'd like to learn more or if you know someone who might be the perfect fit for Simba!
