Story
Hope has spent enough of her life being somebody’s mama. We think it’s time she finally got to be somebody’s baby. Hope is only about 3 years old, but when we first met her, her body told a much older story. She had clearly been bred over and over again, and she arrived looking like a dog who had spent far too much of her young life giving everything to everyone else. We met her during one of our shelter pulls. Her kennel sat right beside the small yards where we were evaluating dogs all day, which meant constant barking, movement, strangers, and dogs coming and going. Hope never made a fuss. She simply watched us, wagged her tail, and waited patiently for someone to come over. When we did, she pressed herself against the kennel gate so hard trying to get closer that her sweet little face practically smooshed through the bars. That calm, loving nature has only become more obvious with time. Hope is incredibly smart, knows basic commands, listens well, and has a wonderfully patient temperament. She loves people, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and carries herself with the kind of steady confidence that makes her easy to have around. And now, she is healthy, spayed, at a good weight, and happy. The dog we first met has blossomed. Hope no longer looks like a dog who has been used up by life. She looks like a dog who is ready to live it. She enjoys affection, walks, companionship, and being included. She is sweet without being frantic, playful without being wild, and affectionate without demanding every second of your attention. She is simply a really lovely dog. Yes, Hope is a bully mix, and we know those dogs are often overlooked. But anyone who spends time with her quickly sees what the label misses: she is calm, intelligent, social, patient, and deeply loving. She has already done the hard part. She survived, healed, gained weight, got healthy, and learned that life can be good. Now she needs the part that matters most: a foster or forever home where she can finally belong. Scout’s Honor covers all expenses associated with fostering as needed. If you have been considering fostering or adopting, Hope is ready. It is time for Mama Hope to stop being everybody’s mama and finally be somebody’s baby. Apply at www.scoutshonor.org.October 4, 2026, 9:05 pm

Abby was found along with her sister abandoned in an apartment complex in SW Houston. She is 2 yrs old and weighs around 60lbs when full grown.

She is spayed, current on vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. She has a clean bill of health. The adoption fee is $245 and she comes with all her vet records.

Story
I am one tall glass of water – handsome and with a great smile. I have lots of energy, so I’d be a great walking partner or jogging buddy. I am friendly but not sure about those fuzzy bundles called cats. If you have a dog, let’s organize a meeting. I can be particular about my roomies. Mostly, I will be a loyal companion and by your side as much as possible.

Story
7 months old Wilson is a quiet and sweet vizsla mix pup, who is currently being fostered in Houston but can travel to any state, even Canada to the right home. Wilson and his brother Tanner found themselves in a high kill shelter of Texas, where they were surrendered by their previous owner. While Wilson did fine on his own with his foster dad, his brother Tanner completely shut down without him, so we brought them back together. They enjoy each other's company but Wilson is very sociable and get along with other pets and humans easily. After being in a home full of other pets, both brothers are now able to stay separately, as their foster parents and foster siblings have boosted their confidence and allowed them to make choices on their own without dependence on the other. Wilson is very easy going, quiet, respectful pup. He is not rambunctious or destructive. He loves to please his humans and listen to directions He is good with cats, dogs and kids. He currently lives with both dogs and cats and respects their spaces. Wilson will prefer a second dog in his new home to play and bond with. Wilson is crate trained, potty trained, leash trained and socialized. They would love to have a fully fenced yard to play with each other and get their exercise. Wilson is about 7 months old, 40 lb, neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and kept on heartworm and flea preventative. To meet these amazing pups via facetime or whatsapp or other video chat apps, please send a completed application via www.savesomesouls.com His adoption fee include 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, Harness and leash. Yards, if any, MUST BE adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups. We do not accept electric or underground fences. 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.
