Story
10 months old Cypress is an incredibly loving pup, who was saved from a high kill shelter in Houston. Cypress is shy at first, but a little petting and she is ready to melt and be velcro with you. She and her sister Cocoa were saved from a high kill shelter in Texas by their foster mom. They are not bonded. Cypress will really do good in a home with a second dog, as she loves playing with her doggie foster siblings. Cypress will make a great addition to any family. She is sweet and loving, and very obedient. She is also extremely well behaved. She has no resource guarding tendency. Cypress lives with 2 other dogs and a kitty, and her foster mom's grandkids in her foster home and gets along with everyone. Cypress is about 10 months old, and currently weighs around 50 lb. She is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and kept on heartworm and flea preventative. She is currently being fostered in Houston but can travel to any state, even Canada to the right home. To meet this amazing pup via facetime or whatsapp or other video chat apps, please send a completed application via www.savesomesouls.com Cypress' 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, Harness and Transport Fee to several states in the United States. Yards 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.

Story
Pongo is a super sweet whippet/lab mix who is just about a year old. He is an incredibly adorable and loving pup with a beautiful disposition. Pongo is very friendly, well-mannered, and enjoys being around people. When he first meets you, he may jump up a little from puppy excitement — but the wonderful thing about Pongo is that he listens! As soon as you tell him “no” or ask him to settle, he immediately stops and responds well to guidance. Pongo is fully vetted, neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, and kept on heartworm and flea prevention. He is healthy, happy, and ready for his forever home. Pongo would do great in a home that will continue his basic training, give him love, structure, and playtime, and include him as part of the family. He has so much love to give and will make a loyal, fun, and affectionate companion. Pongo is good with dogs, he is fine with cats and lives around both. He loves people and trusts them fully. He was rescued from a high kill shelter of Texas. Pongo is about 50 lb, neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and kept on heartworm and flea prevention. He is currently being fostered in Texas but can be transported to most states, and even Canada for the right home. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and friendly young dog to add joy to your life, Pongo might be your perfect match 🐾💙 Yards MUST BE adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups.

Story
This is Violet 💜 She is an amazing, sweet girl. When she sees her favorite volunteers, her entire body wiggles with happiness. She keeps her kennel nice and neat. She loves exploring the play yard, the occasional zoomie and taking nice, quiet walks. What’s the catch? Why hasn’t she been adopted?? Violet is fearful of new things. Loud noises. Not in a fight way but in a flight way. She has some fears around men and big dogs but does have some small dog friends. She takes her time to warm up but when she does, she’s so happy and fun. All she needs is time, patience and love. If you are looking for that dog, the one that is often overlooked, the one that is shy, the one that will fill your heart full of love when you break through that barrier…Violet is your girl.Est. DOB: 8/15/1916 lbs.AAR does not transport for adoption.Violet is enjoying a foster home. Please email dogadoptteam@aartexas.org to schedule a time to meet her.

Story
Looking for an active, smart boy who would love a structured home with plenty of exercise?  Chevy is your guy!     Chevy has been in our program for a few years now as he needs to go to that perfect home that understands him and his needs.  You see, Chevy is a working/herding breed of dog and was on his own to fend for himself for so long on the rough streets of Houston that he's leery of people until he gets to know you.  Chevy had been living under a truck for a while (it was a Chevy) while a Scout's Honor volunteer was working to gain his trust. He kept going every day to feed him and give him some attention. The business near where he was let him come onto their property and provided him some shelter.  Unfortunately, because there was a busy street nearby, Chevy got bumped by a few cars when he was out and about and lost a few teeth as a result.  Luckily, he did not sustain any significant injuries, and just needed to eat and get a bath.  Fast-forward a few years, Chevy is in boarding and loves other dogs and loves to play !  He is a high energy dog, but is also very smart and alert. He needs A LOT of exercise and positive reinforcement, but will pick up very quickly on what you are teaching him. He would be a great dog for agility or flyball!!  As long as you keep him busy and challenged he will impress you with how well he can learn things. He just wants someone who will give him the direction, attention and structure he wants/needs. He would make a great dog for an active home with NO kiddos.  Kiddos are just too unpredictable for this guy.  He also needs a home that understands how to properly introduce him to new people and watch his cues.  Chevy can be very protective of his people and area, so proper intros are a must.  He would do best in a home that does not have a lot of new people coming in/out. True to his Kelpie/Basenji breed, Chevy likes to herd and run and play .  Check out this video of him just having a grand time running - look at those turns!      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L81s-TWX9SA&feature=youtu.be  Kelpie's/Basenji's are unique problem solvers and will find a way to do whatever he deems necessary.  True to these breed, he will also be fierlcy protective of his family (getting back to proper intros).  Chevy fits these traits to a T, and anyone who knows and loves the herding breeds would just adore little Chevy!!   Chevy is up to date on vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped.   Please contact us at info@scoutshonor.org if you are interested in fostering or adopting this precious guy!  You can read all about our foster and adoption process, as well as make a donation for his care, on our website at www.scoutshonor.org.    Scout's Honor Rescue is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill TX shelters. EIN # is 87-0773073 Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/scoutshonorrescue or Instagram at www.instagram.com/scoutshonorrescue We have multiple ways to donate: Venmo:  @ScoutsHonor-Rescue Paypal: www.paypal.me/scoutshonorrescue   https://scoutshonor.org/take-action/donate/ We are strictly volunteer based, no salaries are paid and 100% of donations go towards rescuing dogs January 22, 2025, 6:49 pm
