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 September 11, 2026, 8:06 pm

Story
Meet Guacamole — A Little Quirky, A Lot Special! Breed: ChihuahuaGender:  MaleAge: 5 yearsSize: SmallGood with: Other dogs and warms up slowly to people Guacamole is one of those wonderfully unique dogs who reminds us that the best relationships are worth waiting for. This handsome boy is an unusual blend of Chihuahua with a little Greyhound mixed in, giving him a one-of-a-kind look and personality. Guacamole is extremely shy, and earning his trust takes time. He isn’t going to rush up and greet everyone he meets. Instead, he needs a patient person who understands that trust has to be built slowly and on his terms.  But once Guacamole decides you’re his person, you’ll have a devoted companion. He tends to be a one-person kind of dog, forming a very special bond with the person who takes the time to earn his heart.  And oh, what a reward that is! Behind that shy exterior is a quirky, funny little guy with a personality that will make you laugh. You just have to be patient enough to wait for him to feel safe and let that side of himself emerge.  Guacamole would thrive in a quiet, patient home where he can take his time settling in and doesn’t feel pressured to be something he isn’t. He needs someone who will celebrate the small victories — the first approach, the first tail wag, the first moment he chooses to sit nearby. For the right person, Guacamole could become an incredibly loyal and special companion.  He may take a while to let you into his world, but once he does, you’ll discover a funny, quirky, one-of-a-kind little soul who was worth every moment of waiting. Disclaimer:The information in this profile is based on observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment. We strive to describe each dog accurately; however, behavior and needs may change in a new home, routine, or environment. Our dogs are not free-roaming in homes. “Potty trained” indicates reliable crate training, not confirmed free-roam house training.  Accidents may occur during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected. All dogs have been examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered, and are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. While we provide all known medical information, we cannot guarantee future health or the absence of underlying conditions. ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, and final contract. The application to adopt can be found at www.happyfacespetranch.org Once your application has been approved, a representative will be in touch to set up a meet and greet.  We select the best applicant for each dog based on the dog's individual needs. ##2461518##
