Some pets are in the Shelter and others in Foster homes. Please read the bio & email the address listed in the bio.   Additionally for CATS you  may email  JShelton@eulesstx.gov and for DOGS, email trinitygapclub@gmail.com         Mia is a SUPER sweet approximately one and a half year old 30 lb. border collie/rat terrier mix dog with the personality of an angel.  She is muscular, yet petite, young, very sweet, very smart and an absolute LOVE BUG.  She is extremely well behaved, housebroken and kenneled trained and Mia will ‘go potty’ on command!!  She is perfect in the house by herself (she does have a doggie door), doesn’t chew anything and also sleeps with us all night, excusing herself during the night to ‘go potty’.  She loves cuddling with you in bed and enjoys some playing in the morning.   She LOVES going to the dog park and runs and barks and runs and barks at the other dogs.  She is a border mix so she has a lot of energy.  She goes to the dog park every day with her foster mom to get some of that energy out.  She races at top speed chasing dogs outside the fence line, birds, drones, anything that is moving, she is a bullet to try and get it.  Mia would truly love to have a family with another very active dog or a daily trip to the dog park to run and play.  Because of her energy level, her wonderful agility, ability to jump high and desire to please, her foster mom thinks she would be a fantastic agility dog!! She loves chasing other dogs and being chased and playing with the other dogs.  If you have an active, full of energy pup looking for a friend, she might be perfect for you.  She does great with both small and larger dogs.  She likes to fetch in the house and will often put the toy in your lap or between your legs to encourage you to throw it.  But at the dog park she is all about the other dogs.  She is completely chill at home, but really needs some high energy chasing/playing time to use up some of her border collie power!! She listens very well and will be easy to train too as she wants to please!  She has been going to obedience school and knows how to sit patiently for her dinner, she also knows sits, heel, down, and stay.  She has four perfectly socked feet, a smidge of white at the tip of her tail, and sweet and intelligent eyes.  She is fully grown and weighs in at about 30 lbs.  She is so funny as she can fall asleep standing up.  LOL!  She is absolutely lovely, young, good energy without being annoying, loves everyone and would be happy with a family of her own.  Mia is an absolute doll!!  Please come and meet Mia!

Story
Hudson is a 3 year old, 9 lb Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. He is a tiny, adorable dog with a huge personality that will keep you laughing all the time! He loves to play with other dogs and is always the first to make friends when new fosters come into the house. He can hold his own with big dogs and little dogs alike. His favorite activity is running zoomies, and he will run so hard and fast down the hall that he bounces off the wall...but he hops right back up and is ready for more. He also loves to explore the backyard and find the perfect stick or hunt down those annoying cicadas! Hudson doesn't live with kids, but we think he would be ok with kids ages 10 and over. Kids will need to understand that Hudson is not the type of dog to be chased or picked up. Hudson is cuddly and loves to snuggle at night, but prefers it on his own terms. He doesn't love being picked up...it scares him a little...but he is getting more used to it. Having other dogs around is a must for him as it gives him confidence and someone whose lead he can follow. He is housetrained with a dog door but is probably going to mark at first, so if that's a huge deal to you, he's not your dog (remember, he's tiny so the clean-up is negligible). Bring a smile to your face every day - take Hudson home with you! You can apply at www.humanetomorrow.org, and an adoption counselor will contact you.

Story
Meet Bobbie, the tiny pup with a big personality! Fate brought Bobbie and her rescuers together. Good Samaritans found the sweet little 9-pound pup, soaking wet, shivering, and missing a lot of fur. They named her Bobbie, in memory of their dog Bobby who was rescued from the same area and who had recently passed away. Since being rescued, Bobbie has gone from being shy an scared to being happy and playful. This little nugget would thrive with another doggo so they can play all day! She is totally crate-trained and doesn't make a peep at night. Fill out an application to meet sweet Bobbie! Keep up with Bobbie and the rest of The Street Dog Project family: Website: thestreetdogproject.org FB: facebook.com/thestreetdogproject IG: instagram.com/thestreetdogproject

Story
Meet Pete, a playful and joyful little boy who knows how to have a good time. Whether it's wrestling with balls, toys, or anything that smells enticing, Pete is up for the challenge. He's even the type to stop and smell the roses, enjoying life's simple pleasures. While Pete can entertain himself, he thrives when another dog is around to share in the fun. After all the excitement of smelling and playing, he's happy to curl up in your arms, on your lap, or by your side for a relaxing "chill" session. Pete's personality is nothing short of huge, promising to bring amazement wherever he goes. This lovable pup is fond of kids, dogs, and anyone willing to spend quality time with him during the day. Despite his adventurous past of wandering around train tracks and causing a traffic pause when he was found, Pete is not a daredevil – he's just a guy on the lookout for a loving family to call his own. If you're ready for a bundle of joy with a big heart, Pete is the perfect addition to your home. ##1872059##

Story
I've come to the difficult decision that it's in the best interest of both my dog if I can find a good home for him. We have had him 3 years and he is great but the dynamics of my life have changed too much to properly care for him. I do not want him to end up in a shelter or worse. I want to find a home that will play with him, rub his belly and take care of him. He is very loving and affectionate. He likes to be with his people and is home trained and typically free to roam . He is a rat terrier mix. He is about 5 years old and has been well maintained. He is neutered

Story
Update: Sushi continues to be a very sweet girl. She loves to be beside you, and lays with her foster mom on the couch most of the night. She also LOVES car rides, and even looks out the windows! She especially loves when the windows are open. She's a good girl for her insulin injections and likes carrots for snacks. If she is doing something she shouldn't be doing, she listens when her foster mom says NO, and she stops whatever it is and walks away. Sushi is good with kids and cats do not bother her at all, but a home with no other dogs is recommended. Sushi loves to cuddle and would love to have her own person and family; however she would do best as an only dog so she can get all the love to herself. She travels great in the car and will either sit on your lap for a short trip or in the backseat with a doggy car seat. She is housetrained and will go to the door to let you know she has to go potty. She eats like a champ and takes her insulin well. She also does great at the vet and loves her vet clinic friends. She sleeps through the night and is very easy going.Sushi is not interested in toys but loves to chew on vet approved bones. She loves to sleep on the couch with a comfy blanket, and she uses dog steps to get up on the couch. She can safely jump down as long as the floor is not slippery. I have a dog stroller for Sushi and she happily will sit in it and go for a ride or sleep in it when I am sitting at the computer. She enjoys going for short walks and gets excited when you put her leash on! She also does a very funny trot out in the backyard.
