Story
LOVES TO CUDDLE WITH HIS HOOMANS  DOB 5/25/23, weight 12.5 pounds Hey there, everyone! I’m Polo, and I’m a sweet, friendly, and affectionate tricolor Chihuahua mix fella who has the cutest white blaze on my forehead! I do best with lots of close family contact. Wouldn’t you know that cuddling in Foster Mom’s lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? I adore playing with the small dogs in my foster home, and I get along great with the resident cats and with kids. My size makes me an ideal apartment dog, but I relish my daily exercise. Nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. I make it easy for her because I already walk well on a leash. True confessions: I’m still working on getting housebroken and kennel-trained. I was found with my best friend Paco on the side of the highway. If we were “dumped,” I’ll never tell! Thank heavens a Good Samaritan stopped and scooped us up because I’m much too small to fend for myself. I was so grateful to be welcomed into my foster home, but I’m now ready to bring my high cuteness factor and loving personality to my forever home. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave itsy-bitsy paw prints all over your heart. Although we’re available separately, Paco and I think it’d be the cat’s meow if we were adopted together. Two’s better than one, and we could keep each other company while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID D25-0608-0031 Polo’s $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas. Online application: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site Polo will be this week-end, email us at lisagilchrist16@gmail.com ,  and a volunteer will get back to you.

Story
Ned is an 8 -month-old sweetheart with the most soulful eyes and an absolutely adorable disposition. He is extremely loving, smart, and funny — the kind of puppy who makes everyone around him smile. To apply to adopt Ned, visit www.savesomesouls.com Ned is a very gentle and submissive pup who gets along beautifully with his foster siblings and his humans. He doesn’t mind sharing his food or toys and truly enjoys being part of a pack. This sweet boy loves to sunbathe and his favorite hobby is to steal toys and hoard them. :) But most of all, Ned lives for affection, which he gives abundantly in return. Ned is about 7 months old, weighs approximately 20 lbs, and will not grow more than 20 lb. He is fully vetted — neutered, microchipped, heartworm-negative, and kept on heartworm and flea preventatives. Ned would be a perfect puppy for a loving family who has the time to help him continue growing into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. He thrives on love and affection and would love a home where he can receive plenty of love, attention, and gentle guidance as he’s still very much a puppy. Ned is currently being fostered in Houston, but he can be transported anywhere in the U.S. and Canada to the right home. His 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, Harness and Interstate Health Certificate for our out of state adopters. To meet this gorgeous pup via facetime or whatsapp or other video chat apps, please send a completed application via www.savesomesouls.com Yards MUST BE adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups. We do not accept electric or underground fences. 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. We need the parents to be patient and compassionate towards the changes that these pups are undergoing, being taken away from a home they came to know as their own to a new environment. 3-3-3 Rule of Adoption must be followed at all times to make adoption successful. 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 from 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.

Story
Meet Chili, a gentle 4-year-old Chihuahua mix with a fondness for comfort. At 13 pounds, she is a well-mannered companion who walks nicely on a leash, travels well in the car, and appreciates a quiet home.Chili enjoys being near her people and is very obedient. She can be initially shy, especially around men, and would thrive in a patient, calm home. She gets along wonderfully with other small dogs and is playfully curious about cats, though her feelings on larger dogs are unknown. A home with older children would be best.She is house-trained and well-behaved when left alone. While she’s still learning to be a cuddler with humans, she loves to burrow under blankets and will politely ask for your help to get settled. Please carry her like a baby, as she does not like her belly touched. Her favorite things include a secure yard, a good marrow bone, and a soft sofa—though she will firmly object to the sight of a broom or mop.Chili is a sweet and sensitive soul waiting for a loving, understanding family to offer her a forever spot in their home and heart.Chili is located in Houston, TX. Transport to most states is available for an additional fee of $300.

TINY DOG WITH A BIG PERSONALITY  DOB 10/9/21, weight 10 # Hey there, everyone! I’m Mochi, a very affectionate, friendly, and lively white Japanese Spitz/ Pomeranian mix gal who promises to be your ideal companion since I combine a tiny body with my big personality. My glorious fluffy coat and feathered tail are almost as attractive as my cheerful, eager-to-please personality. I'm a bright, alert, high-energy girl who's always ready for a walk or playtime. My previous owners kept me living outdoors, where I felt abandoned and ignored. Since I’m obviously a sociable pooch who loves people, a Good Samaritan noticed my sad situation and inquired about me. My owners admitted that they didn’t have time to care for me and agreed to surrender me to HOPE. Thank heavens my foster mom gives me plenty of the attention that I deserve, but unfortunately I struggle with separation anxiety if I’m left alone for long periods. I’m working on overcoming the scars of my past emotional abuse, and I’m grateful for the friendship of the resident small dogs and cats who keep me company while Foster Mom is at work. I’m kennel-trained and working on my housebreaking. Now I’m ready to be the loyal, devoted companion of my forever family, which can include kids who are old enough to know the difference between a toy dog and a toy. With my active, high-spirited demeanor and affinity for hoomans, could I be your next perky pet? I can’t wait to show you my high intelligence when I master tricks, puzzles, and games with ease. Arrange to meet me today! HOPE ID D26-0124-0004 Mochi’s $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas. To apply online:http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site Mochi will be this weekend, email us at lisagilchrist16@gmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.
