Story

** DO NOT CLICK ON 'START AN INQUIRY'** You must follow the instructions below if interested. Shay is a very gentle and calm doodle. She does not shed. She is housetrained. Could you get more perfect?! She gets along with other dogs but would be fine as an only pup too. She is a little shy at first but warms up quickly and then is your shadow and best friend. She weighs around 45lbs and will not get any bigger. When we got her, she was super matted and so we shaved her - before and after pics are shown so you can see what her fur looks like! All of our pets are located in Houston TX and will not be transported until adopted. You will get to video chat with the pup once/if your application is approved. We are not first-come, first-served but rather strive to match dogs to their best fit homes! If you are interested, you MUST FILL OUT AN APPLICATION at www.recycleddogsrescue.org. The adoption fee is $850 + transport (if applicable). We cannot guarantee breed, size, or behavior!

Story

THEO is a very sweet and playful mixed breed dog. He's around 3 mo old and 7lbs but will likely be 20lbs full grown. He's very active and loves to give kisses. He gets along well with other dogs and appears non-reactive to cats (although he does not live with any). He would be fine with small children and adults alike. He enjoys chew toys and bones of all kinds and adores wrestling with anyone who will give him the time of day! He is NOT pottytrained so be prepared to deal with all things puppy (housetraining, chewing, etc). He is a very active puppy and would do best with someone with a lot of time and enregy! He is fostered in Houston TX and will not be transported until adopted. His fee is $850. You may pick him up in Texas or we can discuss flying him to you. The first step in adoption is to fill out an application at www.recycleddogsrescue.org.

Story

Chewbacca is the sweetest little nugget you'll ever meet who is always at your side snuggled up. He's a terrier though, so he can be feisty walking by other dogs on a leash but he's all bark and no bite. He adores his people and would do best in a home with children, another playful small dog and a family who is home often. He does mark inside on occasion but is housetrained most of the time. His fee is $850 - he is located in Houston TX and will transported upon completed adoption. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION IF INTERESTED AT: www.recycleddogsrescue.org/adoption-application

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Gordo! When his previous family started developing allergies to him, Gordo came to Anti Cruelty to find a new home. He didn't come alone, however... Gordo came with his mom, Sky, and the two are incredibly bonded and must go home together. This little family has been shy since coming to the shelter but they have wonderful home history. They are both dog friendly, house trained, and very playful and loving with their chosen people. They've lived with kids as young as five and were reported to do well with them as well. They also both have big vocabularies and are used to a "wait" command before eating. Who wouldn't want to give this sweet, bonded mother and son a soft place to land? Thinking about adding a friend to your family? These sweet pals are currently available for both adoption and foster and would love to meet you! Interested in fostering? Email foster@anticruelty.org to let the foster team know! If you would like to meet Gordo and Sky and potentially adopt, stop by our Adoption Center at 510 N. LaSalle to meet them and all of their friends. We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and our team will guide you through every step of the adoption or foster process.

Story

Meet Sky! This incredible girl came to the shelter with her son, Gordo, after folks in their previous family began devleoping allergies to them. Sky and Gordo are better together, and must head home as a bonded pair. The dogs have been a little bit shy since coming to Anti Cruelty, but Sky is definitely slightly more confident, paving the way for her larger but more timid son. These two have stolen the hearts of our staff members and deserve the sweetest, softest place to land. Thinking about adding a friend to your family? These sweet guys are currently available for both adoption and foster and would love to meet you! Interested in fostering? Email foster@anticruelty.org to let the foster team know!

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Jody! This sweet boy came to Anti Cruelty when he was no longer a good fit for his previous family's life style. Jody is extremely sweet and loving, but he is also definitely in need of nice, slow introductions to new people and environments and a lot of structure. Jody is still a young guy at only 9 months old, so there is plenty of time to build his confidence and give him the training he needs. He is an incredibly good-natured guy, he just someone to show him that the world is not the scary place he may think it is. If you want to play all day, teach a young dog new tricks, and overall enjoy bringing a puppy up to speed, Jody is the guy for you. Thinking about adding a friend to your family? This sweet guy is currently available for both adoption and foster and would love to meet you! Interested in fostering? Email foster@anticruelty.org to let the foster team know! If you would like to meet Jody and potentially adopt, stop by our Adoption Center at 510 N. LaSalle to meet them and all of their friends. We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and our team will guide you through every step of the adoption or foster process.
