Story
We got her back in September 2025. She was in the shelter for two months before we adopted her. Shes a great dog, playful, and loves going outside. We didnt have a yard for her to go out in so she didnt get to go out much since we're so busy. We hope she finds a loving home with a yard! Someone who can take her on walks and hikes. She likes to swim in lakes, and loves the snow. When we got her we were told she was tested with other animals and passed, but she still does chase my cats. She just wants to play, she doesn't try to hurt them thankfully.

Story
Wolfie is a sociable, energetic boy who loves people and enjoys meeting other dogs, though he can be intimidating at first and may need a confident introduction before he settles in. He’s eager to play and he has a playful streak with water hoses that never fails to bring a smile. He weighs 89 pounds and is approximately 3-4 years old.??Wolfie is still learning the leash. He is learning to come when called and sits nicely when prompted. He is a homebody at heart, but he still needs plenty of exercise to burn off his occasional bursts of energy. He also enjoys walks with his humans.??Located in Houston, Texas. Transport to most states available for an additional fee of $300.
