Story
Bean came from my two oldest pets a pug and my maltese mix. She's currently 4 years old, she's a very sweet dog. Very needy and loving. Active and loves to play. She does have a condition with her tear ducts, that they pop out when she gets excited cause her eyes are too small. I believe the vet called it cherry eye. She doesn't get along with her sister but she gets along with her parents. She's cautious and protective. A lil bit of a scaredy dog on walks. She looks adorable in clothes..I'd love her to go to a loving owner who has the time to give her the attention she seeks whos wanting to play with her outside and stuff. Bean has primarily lived outdoors and may need help adjusting to an indoor routine and house training.

Story
2 year oldl Dolly had quite an adventure before finding her way to safety. Shortly after being rescued from a high kill shelter (Barc) where she was abandoned by her previous family, she escaped from transport and spent 26 days on her own in Houston. She was spotted in several areas, including Downtown, the Medical Center, Rice University, and West University. How this tiny girl managed to navigate the streets and survive for 26 days, only Dolly knows. Thankfully, her story eventually brought her to a loving foster home, where she is now safe and cherished. Today, Dolly has become her foster mom's little shadow. She loves being close to her people and follows her foster mom everywhere. After everything she has been through, she seems happiest knowing she has someone to love and someone who loves her back. Because of her past experience, Dolly will need a particularly attentive and safety-conscious family. Secure doors, carefully managed entrances, and properly fitted barriers or baby gates are important. She is a clever little girl who can squeeze through some gates, so her family will need to be thoughtful about keeping her safely contained. We want her next chapter to be filled with love, comfort, and, most importantly, security. Dolly is 14 lb, fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped, She is heartworm negative and kept on heartworm and flea preventative. Even though she is currently being fostered in Texas, she can travel to any state and even Canada to the right home. Dolly loves her walks, and is completely housebroken. She is crate trained, and does well all day long. She is very quiet and very easy pup. If she is near her human, she will sleep or lay down without any problem. She is just a perfect girl in need of a perfect home. Yards must be fully and adequately fenced, to be considered for our pups. We do not accept electric or underground fences. Please send a completed application via www.savesomesouls.com so you could be approved to meet this gorgeous pup via facetime or whatsapp. Dolly's 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, and Harness. 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. 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 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.
