Story
Meet Taz! Don’t let his size fool you—Taz has enough personality packed into his little body for a dog twice his size! This handsome terrier mix was pulled from Harris County alongside his kennel buddy, Mac, during our recent shelter rescue mission, and we’re so glad he’s finally getting his chance to shine. At around 2 years old, Taz is the perfect mix of fun and laid-back. He’s a sweet little guy who carries himself like a big dog, but deep down he just wants to be loved and included in all of life’s adventures. Whether it’s hanging out on the couch, going for a walk, or simply being your sidekick, Taz is happy just being part of the family. So far, Taz has shown us that he’s a pretty chill dude with a heart of gold. He’s the kind of dog who will quietly steal your heart and become your best friend before you even realize it. Now all this little guy needs is a foster or forever home where he can be spoiled the way he deserves. Could Taz be your new best friend? Fill out an application to foster or adopt and give this sweet boy the happy ending he’s been waiting for! September 15, 2026, 9:36 pm

Story
Meet Winnie! 🩷 Winnie is the sweetest little girl with the cutest personality. She can be a little skittish when she first meets new people or experiences something new, but once she feels comfortable, she’s all in. She loves people, loves to snuggle in your lap, and when she gets really excited, her whole back end wags! She’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. Winnie loves playing fetch, enjoys tug, and has a blast running around with her foster siblings. She also has the cutest little prance when she walks that will make you smile every time. So far she’s doing great in her crate, we’re working on potty training, and she’s proving to be one smart little pup. She’s just starting to find her voice—usually when the other dogs think it’s time to bark and she chimes in. Winnie is going to make such a fun, loving addition to the lucky family who adopts her.  Winnie is a female Rat Terrier mix with an estimated date of birth of 3/7/26. She weighs 10 lbs.

Walnut may put on a little shy act when he first meets someone new, but don’t let him fool you—this handsome boy warms up quickly! Before long, he’s ready to show you his affectionate side and claim his favorite spot: right in your lap. Once he’s comfortable, Walnut’s curious nature really starts to shine. He enjoys exploring his surroundings, checking things out, and discovering what the world has to offer. But after all that important investigating, he’s more than happy to return to his favorite human for some quality cuddle time. He’s the perfect combination of sweet, curious, affectionate, and just a little bit shy—at least until he decides you’re his person. Then, prepare yourself for a permanent lap companion! Walnut is looking for someone who will appreciate his gentle nature, give him a little time to settle in, and happily accept his offer to become their personal lap dog. Beautiful brindle coat? Curious explorer? Sweet personality? Professional lap dog? Absolutely! Walnut is ready to warm his way into your heart—and probably right onto your lap.

Story
Breed: Rat TerrierGender:  FemaleAge:  8 monthsSize: 6.1 lbsGood with:  Dogs but shy around meeting new people Meet Hazelnut , the smallest member of the Nut Pack—and this sleek little black Rat Terrier mix has a heart just waiting to blossom. Hazelnut is sweet, timid, and sensitive, and she needs a little time to take in her surroundings before she feels comfortable. She isn’t the type to jump right into a new situation. Instead, she likes to quietly observe, figure things out, and decide when she’s ready to come out of her shell. But there’s something pretty special about this little girl… Hazelnut seems clearly destined to be a Daddy’s Girl! She naturally gravitates toward men and appears to find comfort and confidence in their presence. Once she feels safe, you can begin to see the sweet personality hiding behind that initial shyness. She just needs someone who understands that trust isn’t built in a day. Give Hazelnut patience, a calm environment, and the freedom to warm up at her own pace, and she’ll show you just how precious she is. She may be the smallest of the Nut Pack, but she has a sweetness all her own. Hazelnut is looking for a patient forever family—and perhaps the Daddy she was destined to adore.

Story
PLAYFUL AND FEISTY  DOB 5/6/26, weight up to 15 lb. at maturity Hey there, everyone! I’m Lola, a very sweet, feisty, and very playful wire-coated Russell Terrier mix gal who looks like a plush toy come to life! I may have some Chihuahua mixed in because I’m mostly black with white paws and vest, and Russell Terriers are always mostly white with black markings. My dark, almond-shaped eyes and mobile V-shaped ears exhibit the Russell’s hallmark intelligent expression. I have an adorable personality –although I rarely like to be held -- and I love to run and have fun. Although I’d probably be good around kids, Foster Meowmy prefers my forever family to be toddler-free. I’d probably be good around cats, but I can’t promise that I wouldn’t chase them! Foster Mommy noticed that my sisters, Lili and Luna, and I were kept outside by my owners. After expressing her concern to them that we weren’t meant to be strictly outdoor dogs, she was able to persuade them to surrender us to her. They admitted that they couldn’t financially afford to keep us anyway. I get startled by large dogs, so Foster Mom is insisting that I be adopted into a home with no large dogs. I weighed 8 pounds at 3 months old and should weigh up to 15 pounds at maturity. Now I’m ready to become the jaunty, lively new addition to my forever family. In fact, I dream about running around in the backyard with everyone and then collapsing in their laps while we watch TV together. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant we meet! HOPE ID D26-0624-0028       Lola’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 that Lola will be this weekend, email us at lisagilchrist16@gmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.

SWEET, NOBLE NATURE EVEN AS PUP  DOB 5/6/26, weight up to15 lb. at maturity Hey there, everyone! I’m Lili, a very sweet, alert, and adorable smooth-coated Russell Terrier mix gal who looks like a plush toy come to life! I may have some Chihuahua mixed in because I’m mostly black with white paws and vest, and Russell Terriers are always mostly white with black markings. My dark, almond-shaped eyes and mobile V-shaped ears exhibit the Russell’s hallmark intelligent expression. I have a great personality – Foster Mom describes me as “noble” -- and I love to run and have fun. Although I’d probably be good around kids, Foster Meowmy prefers my forever family to be toddler-free. I’d probably be good around cats, but I can’t promise that I wouldn’t chase them!

They admitted that they couldn’t financially afford to keep us anyway. I get startled by large dogs and get sad when I'm not around Lola and Luna, so Foster Mom is suggesting that I be adopted with one of my sisters or at least be adopted into a home with other small dogs and no large dogs. I weighed 7 pounds at 3 months old and should weigh up to 15 pounds at maturity. Now I’m ready to become the lively new addition to my forever family.
