Story
Meet Olive! Formerly known as Socks at Harris County Pets, but when these babies join us we love giving them a fresh start with a brand new name. Olive is estimated to be around 2 years old and honestly looks like the cutest little mix of everything! She's about 50lbs. If you’re looking for a calm, easygoing, loving companion… Olive is your girl. This sweet girl has the gentlest soul and truly just wants to be close to her people. She was found as a stray, so we may never know her full story, but one thing is obvious… Olive knows love. She isn’t skinny, her coat is beautiful, and she melts right into you when getting attention. Olive is dog friendly, though she seems more like the “hang out and relax” type than the life of the party. She may still just be learning that she’s finally safe. Either way, this sweet girl is ready for a soft place to land and someone to love her forever. If you’ve been searching for a mellow, affectionate, sweetheart of a dog, Olive is waiting for you!

Story
PLEASE HELP US HELP HIM. We got Leo through an adoption event in August of 2025. He was skiddish as most new puppies are at first in new homes and around new (to them) dogs. Everything was going well until about 2 months ago when he started displaying "Alpha Dog" tendencies with our older dog. We have spent these months trying many alternatives to get all dogs to feel at home and happy. However, it has only escalated and we do not wish any animals any discomfort or to get hurt. Leo is high energy, loves cuddles, runs laps in the yard, whenever he can, is a chewer (so appropriate bones or aggressive chew toys are recommended), and will most likely be ideal for a single pet household based on what we have seen.. We want him to go to a good home that will give him all the love he deserves.

Story
Stella is a wonderful dog, she is super sweet, loves cuddles, extremely friendly, and LOVES being pet. However with extremely busy parents we can’t be home 24/7 and Stella has some anxiety. A person who is mostly home would be the best for her. Possibly someone who no longer works or a stay at home parent. She has anxiety and has caused some property damage when we aren’t home.

APPLICATION REQUIRED (COPY & PASTE THIS LINK) https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/RTH/Dog Age: 5 years (approx) Weight: 62 pounds Meet Bruno — a big handsome boy with soulful eyes and a heart full of love.

At around five years old, Bruno is past the puppy chaos and ready to settle into a loving home where he can simply enjoy life by your side. He’s wonderful with other dogs, does well with cats, and loves people. Bruno is the kind of dog who just wants to be included — whether that’s hanging out in the yard, relaxing on the couch, or joining you for everyday adventures. Sadly, Bruno lost the only home he knew when his owner could no longer keep him. Through it all, he’s remained loving, trusting, and hopeful for a second chance. 🐾 Around 5 years old 🐾 Good with dogs 🐾 Cat friendly 🐾 Loves people 🐾 Sweet, loyal, and ready for a forever family Bruno has so much love left to give — now he just needs someone willing to give him the happy ending he deserves.

Story
Meet Joy — a pup true to her name!Joy is a 5-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix (about 49 lbs) whose biggest talent is making everyone around her feel… joyful. She’s gentle, affectionate and easy-going with her people.Joy loves being close to humans. After playtime, she’s perfectly happy to settle down at your feet or cuddle on the couch for a quiet evening. She has a medium energy level- she enjoys playful bursts, backyard zoomies and walks, but she’s not a nonstop athlete. She’d much rather spend time with her family than patrol the yard all day.She’s fantastic with kids and has been especially sweet and gentle with an 8-year-old in her foster home. Joy loves fiercely and has a tender, forgiving spirit that really shines around children. She takes treats politely and has an adorable habit of trying to give “hugs” by placing her paws on your waist.About her:House manners? Nailed it.Fully potty trainedSleeps quietly in her crate all night (and actually likes it!)Walks nicely on leashNo issues with people or handlingJoy enjoys playing with other dogs, especially dogs her own size who like to wrestle and roughhouse a bit. Her play style can be energetic and physical, so she would do best with confident canine companions who match her size and play energy. She has done well coexisting peacefully with some dogs in her foster home, though play can occasionally become intense with certain personalities.Because of her strong prey drive, Joy should not live with cats or small animals. She is highly focused on squirrels and birds outdoors and would likely chase them if given the opportunity. She also prefers having her toys and bones respected by other dogs, so thoughtful supervision around high-value items is important.Despite an unknown past, Joy has proven to be remarkably trusting, loving, and adaptable. She’s looking for a home that understands her playful, spirited nature and will give her the companionship, structure and affection she thrives on.She’s ready to be someone’s forever companion! Maybe yours?! Joy is currently in a loving foster home in the Houston, Texas area. She is able to travel out of state and we can typically arrange transportation.

Story
Meet Snoopy Snoopy’s story is one we will never forget. When we found him at the shelter, he was heartbreakingly thin — little more than skin and bones — and clearly had not been shown much kindness in his life. Yet even in the middle of his own fear and uncertainty, Snoopy stood protectively by his kennel mate, quietly trying to keep them both safe. That told us everything we needed to know about his heart. This striking black-and-white pointer mix is expected to be around 40–50 pounds once he regains weight and finally gets the care he deserves. He's about 2 years old. Despite everything he has endured, Snoopy remains incredibly sweet, gentle, and eager for love. He just wants someone to sit beside him, reassure him, and show him that the world can still be good. Snoopy has survived neglect. He has survived fear. Now he deserves the chance to truly live — with a family who will never let him feel unwanted again. Won’t you be the one to give Snoopy the happy ending he has waited so patiently for? Visit www.scoutshonor.org for more informationJune 26, 2026, 8:58 pm
