**This dog is not currently in the direct care of Happy Tails Happy Homes rescue. We are assisting her current owners in rehoming her at no fault of her own. If you are interested in Nova, please fill out an application here: https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform ** 🐾 Meet Nova 💛 🐾 Looking for a loyal sidekick, adventure buddy, and cuddle companion all in one?

She absolutely adores her people and thrives on attention, making her happiest when she gets to be part of the action. ✨ Why You'll Love Nova 🐶 Affectionate and people-oriented 🧠 Smart and eager to learn 🍖 Highly food-motivated (treats are the way to her heart!) 🏡 Fully house-trained since puppyhood 📦 Crate-trained 🚶 Loves walks and outdoor adventures 💛 Loyal, loving, and always ready for cuddles Nova has been well-socialized with adults, children, and other dogs. She currently lives with young children and does well overall, but she would truly thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention—either as an only pet or with a confident, well-matched canine companion. A home without young children would be ideal. 🎓 Training & Personality Nova is a very intelligent girl who enjoys learning new things, especially when snacks are involved! Like many smart dogs, she sometimes has a stubborn streak, but she responds well to positive reinforcement and consistency. She enjoys staying active and going for walks, though she is still working on her leash manners and can pull when excited. With continued training, she has all the potential to become an excellent walking partner. 🏡 Things to Know ✨ May get excited and jump up when greeting visitors ✨ Can be protective of her home and yard, especially when seeing people or dogs through windows or fences ✨ Should continue working on confidence and impulse-control training ✨ Has not lived with cats and tends to bark at them, so a cat-free home is recommended ✨ Should remain crated when left alone, as she may chew toys or investigate countertops for snacks 🩺 Health & Care 💗 Needs to be spayed (her recent heat cycle delayed her scheduled appointment) 💊 May have allergies that are currently being evaluated with her veterinarian 📋 Veterinary records are available through Fountain Veterinary Hospital 💉 Initial vaccination records will be provided 🐟 Currently eats a trout and rice kibble and does well on that diet 🏠 Nova's Perfect Home Nova would thrive with a family or individual who can provide plenty of attention, structure, exercise, and ongoing training. Her current family is expecting another baby and has made the difficult, loving decision to find her a home where she can receive the time and focus she deserves. If you're looking for a smart, loyal, affectionate companion who will keep you active and love you endlessly, Nova is ready to meet you! 💛🐾

**This dog is NOT in the direct care of Happy Tails Happy Homes. However, we are assisting in his rehoming. If you are interested, please fill out an application through our website** This handsome 4-year-old boy is full of personality and charm! Weighing in at approximately 115 lbs, he's a big bundle of love and fun. He’s playful, energetic, and always up for a game of fetch or a car ride adventure. At the end of the day, he loves nothing more than curling up close to his favorite human for some well-deserved rest. He’s both crate trained and potty trained, and his intelligence shines through—he’s a quick learner who picks up on things fast. He was neutered after turning two and has since grown into a loyal and affectionate companion. However, he does best as the only pet in the home, as he prefers all the attention for himself. If you’re looking for a devoted, fun-loving dog who will be your ride-or-die best buddy, he might just be the perfect match.

Black-and-white heartthrob with a show-stopping set of ears, toy enthusiast, and full-body, goofy wiggle machine… this is Wishbone! Equal parts athlete and goofball, he’s the kind of dog who can easily turn a boring day into a fun-filled adventure. He’s bright, attentive, and so ready to learn that “trainer’s dream” feels less like a compliment and more like a preview of what’s coming next. Before you fall too hard, go catch him in motion on YouTube… then come right back for the details on this high-flying, toy-adoring superstar in the making. https://youtu.be/jyx84WRpYgU?si=DHm8SyAkjM6YQHZN Wishbone is estimated to be just over a year old and appears to be a Pittie/American bully mix, though as always with rescue, breed and birthday are our best guess. What matters here is that he is the perfect size. Beefcake in spirit but not in form- he is built like a true athlete and would be the envy of any gym if he were a person. He is 40, full-grown pounds are barely takes up a full cushion on the couch. No extra space needed because he can scooch right in without anyone even having to scoot over. What does Wishbone Love? Well… zoomin’ in the sunshine and then laying in the shade. Give him a chance to stretch his legs,show off with that initial zoomie, and then you promptly get a dog who wants to roll around in the grass with his belly to the sky. The energy melts into a dog who can settle, hang out, and take in the world around him. He’s not looking to be glued to your side every second. He’s confident, self-assured, and perfectly content entertaining himself with a toy… as long as you keep the toy supply well stocked and the snack budget approved. Speaking of toys… this boy is all in. Toss it, bounce it, squeak it, launch it… he’s ready. If you’ve ever dreamed of a running partner, a dream training buddy, or a future flyball all-star, Wishbone is already halfway to the starting line just waiting for his person to say “go.” He is a big personality with a playful style to match, which means he’ll thrive with an owner who enjoys structure, consistency, and channeling that enthusiasm into something fun and rewarding. He’s smart, eager, and full of potential… the kind of dog who makes training feel less like work and more like a shared hobby. With other dogs, Wishbone brings a party-ready play style. He does best with dogs who enjoy that same rough-and-rowdy energy and can match his enthusiasm. Think confident, playful companions who won’t be overwhelmed by his fun-loving nature. At home, he’s learning the art of balance. He’s already shown that once his energy is out, he can settle, and with continued guidance, routine, and outlets for both his brain and body, that off-switch only gets better and better. He’s the kind of dog who just needs a clear roadmap… and then he’s off, happily following it. Wishbone is best suited for a home that can give him space to move, play, and thrive, along with the kind of leadership that helps him continue to grow into the incredible dog he’s clearly meant to be. If you’ve been looking for a dog who brings energy, personality, humor, and a whole lot of potential to the table… Wishbone is ready to stick by your side.

Otis feels like the kind of dog you get as a karmic gift for all the goodness you have given. He feels earned! He is deeply, deeply sensitive and thrives from connection.Simply, he is a heart-to-heart dog. The kind of dog who notices, is intuitive, and cares in a way that almost feels too good to be true for a dog. Go watch Otis Underbite on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this thoughtful blue boy with the perfect little underbite and the even sweeter heart behind it. https://youtu.be/DTybE-klqhU Otis is estimated to be around 3 years old and weighs 57 lbs. Rescue rules apply, so breed and age are our best guess, but we suspect some pittie/staffie type goodness in the mix. What we know for certain is that he is absolutely gorgeous, wonderfully mannered in the home, intuitive and happiest living a quiet, steady kind of life. His intuitive nature comes with a certain, intentional caution, like he is guarding his gentle heart. But once he decides you are safe? You can watch that caution leave his body. Underneath is an incredibly gentle, loyal, soft-hearted dog who loves deeply and quietly. He is currently fostered in a loving home where his foster absolutely adores him, and honestly, it makes sense within minutes of meeting him. Otis is house trained, crate trained, easy to live with, and settles beautifully indoors. He loves toys, enjoys car rides, and lights up for walktime. His leash manners are lovely too. He walks at an easy pace and prefers peaceful strolls over chaotic adventures. While he can navigate busier parks or neighborhoods, he prefers calmer environments and predictable routines. This is not a dog looking to host the neighborhood barbecue. He is more of a “quiet morning coffee on the porch” kind of soul. When meeting new people, especially men, Otis needs a little time and thoughtful introductions. He can initially become overwhelmed or shut down if too much attention or handling is placed on him too quickly. What stood out when we first met was not aggression or volatility, but sensitivity. Otis communicates discomfort by giving himself space, shying away from the uncertainty, but it mush be said just how gentle he remained even while stressed. He is not confrontational. He is careful. And honestly? Once you understand that about him, he makes a lot of sense. Otis bonds hard to his people. His foster shared that he is incredibly loving at home, playful with toys, affectionate, and deeply loyal. He simply needs relationship-building and patience before that side emerges. He is very much a slow-burn dog. Not the kind that walks into a room acting like everyone is his best friend five minutes later. He notices who makes him feel safe, who listens to him, who gives him room to breathe, and then slowly, steadily, he opens up. With other dogs, Otis is more aloof than social. He is not looking for rowdy dog park energy or constant wrestling matches. He tends to avoid pressure from pushy dogs and has shown himself to be submissive and gentle in interactions. His foster mentioned he tends to prefer calm, confident female dogs, which tracks with his overall softer personality. He coexists very respectfully, waits patiently for treats, and does not create conflict around food or toys. One of the sweetest moments from the afternoon we spent with him was watching him meet our house cat. He was gentle, calm, quietly curious, and very relaxed. The team felt very positively about his cat interactions, and we can see so many qualities that would allow him to live peacefully with calm or dog-savvy cats. Otis would thrive most in a home that appreciates sensitive dogs for exactly who they are. A home that does not expect instant confidence, forced socialization, or a “go everywhere and meet everyone” lifestyle. In return, you are getting a deeply loyal companion with lovely house manners, a gentle heart, soulful eyes, and one of the cutest underbites you have ever seen. Some dogs are fireworks. Otis is candlelight. Quiet, steady, comforting, and easy to stay close to once you understand how special he is. Ready to make the first move?

Meet Starlight — a big squishy stuffed-animal collector trapped inside the body of an American Bully mix. ✨ At around 5 years old, Starlight has officially decided that stuffies are EVERYTHING. The moment she walked into the house and spotted a box of plush toys, this girl immediately stopped what she was doing to go shopping. No hesitation. She carefully picked out her favorite toy, proudly carried it around the room, tossed it up in the air for herself, chewed on it happily, and honestly acted like a little kid at Build-A-Bear. Watching her with toys is genuinely adorable because she takes her collection VERY seriously. And honestly? Starlight is kind of iconic for it. This is not the type of dog who needs constant attention, nonstop cuddles, or somebody entertaining her every second of the day. Starlight is an independent queen. She’s happiest just peacefully existing in her space, carrying around a toy, lounging in a comfy spot, and doing her own thing while her people simply let her be herself. That doesn’t mean she isn’t sweet — because she absolutely is. She has the cutest giant smile and this soft squishy face that makes you want to kiss her forehead immediately. She just prefers relationships that move slowly and respectfully. She’s the kind of dog who appreciates calm energy, patience, and people who understand that trust doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful. Watch Star Light's video, then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/LwvMRDxUDEA?si=y0x5oTK3pXEDklII Because Starlight is naturally cautious and still learning that the world is safe, she’ll need a calm, experienced, dog-savvy home that will let her settle in at her own pace. Once she feels comfortable though, she really just wants a peaceful little life: A soft bed. A backyard to wander around tossing her toys in the air. A comfy couch. Her emotional support stuffies. And humans who love her exactly as she is. With other dogs, Starlight is definitely more of a “quiet roommate” type than a social butterfly. During a recent visit with us away from her foster home, she mostly kept to herself, carried her toys around proudly, and focused more on finding cozy little spaces than interacting with the new people and other pups. She wasn’t interested in playing or joining the dog party — honestly, she seemed much more content simply existing nearby and doing her own thing. She did best around calm, respectful dogs who gave her space and didn’t put pressure on her to interact. When dogs approached her, she tolerated them well as long as they stayed easygoing and carefree, but she clearly preferred peaceful coexistence over active friendship. Her perfect dog sibling would basically be another independent little soul who’s happy to share a home, nap in the same room, and mind their own business together like two introverted roommates. But let's be honest, Star Light would prefer being your one and only gal. She’s just a girl who loves her personal space. If she went to a home with another dog, her ideal match would be a super mellow, easygoing dog who’s happy simply existing nearby without trying to wrestle, play constantly, or overwhelm her. She’s not looking for chaos — she’s looking for peaceful company. Starlight also appreciates people who understand and respect her boundaries. She’s made really lovely progress already and showed she’s trying hard to communicate appropriately when she feels unsure. She simply needs humans who will listen to her body language, move slowly with her, and let trust build naturally instead of forcing interactions before she’s ready. Because of that, no kids for Miss Starlight, and no cats either — they’re just a little too exciting for her. A quieter home with a predictable routine and a yard would likely help her feel safest and most comfortable. Apartment life would probably feel a little too busy and overstimulating for her personality. There is something really special about dogs like Starlight. She’s not trying to be the center of attention. She’s not asking to go everywhere or meet everybody. She’s an independent soul looking for somebody who understands that love can look like peacefully sharing space together. Some dogs want to be attached to your hip every second of the day. Starlight just wants to vibe nearby with her emotional support stuffed animals and know she’s safe. 💛 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Short legs, big head, and an even bigger smile… let Billy waddle his way into your heart with his grin and those eyes of his. Challenge- try not to smile while he is headed your way. It’s hard! This blocky little heartthrob is friendly, affectionate, and carries himself with that easy, “happy to be here” energy that just puts people at ease. He greets new people with warmth, leans into love without being pushy, and has a natural way of checking in with his person that is just so endearing. He’s got that built-in desire to please, the kind you don’t have to teach… it’s just who he is. Go watch Billy Blockhead Bestie Energy on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this low-riding lovebug. https://youtu.be/uDLmKvwuc-0?si=8sDslC0j-87mgWmm Billy is estimated to be 2 years old, weighs 49 lbs, and is some version of a bully- staffie… pittie…? Who knows? Not us with confidence. Our favorite thing about him, besides the winning smile, it’s that he is the sweet spot- happy to join you wherever but never looking to turn your living room into a racetrack. He’s house and crate trained, has lovely manners in the home, and knows how to settle without needing constant direction. He’s met kids and was exactly what you’d hope for… gentle, polite, no jumping, no chaos, just a friendly little guy keeping things calm and easy. The kind of dog who aims to fit into a home instead of flipping it upside down. With other dogs, Billy leans more “mind my business” than party host. He is thoughtful, cautious and even slightly unsure at first, but he listens well to guidance, takes corrections easily, and shows nice social awareness. He does well in playgroups with a wide variety of dogs but clearly has an affection for low to medium energy females with a bully vibe who give him space to warm up, helps him feel secure while still encouraging him to play. Billy was introduced to our house cat and was curious but did show a respectfulness that makes us feel good that with guidance and a dog-savvy, confident cat he could join a home with a feline friend. Of course, if you are interested we are more than happy to arrange a Kitty Committee Slumber Party to get a clear view of his approach to cats. Also, although he has a wonderful crate routine, he can occasionally get a little vocal when he’s ready to be out and about, so a home environment (rather than apartment living) would suit him best. What really stands out about Billy is how easy he is to love. He’s soft, steady, affectionate, and just wants to be near his people, doing life alongside you without asking for much in return besides some yummy treats and belly scratches. A solid companion with a signature pittie grin and a body built for cozy corners and couch hangs… Billy is ready to be someone’s very good decision and dream bestie. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key best friend with a little extra character packed into a short-legged frame, Billy is ready and waiting for you! Apply today and welcome home your blockhead bestie! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69e56a86a51ccc94ad0ebd00 Questions?

It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS: Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test or $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions Access to multiple dog trainers in your area, along with $40 off of your first session of in person dog training through Rover Training 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup! The Greater Houston area faces one of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the U.S. We’re a nonprofit on a mission—to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs at risk, while promoting spay/neuter outreach in the community. When you adopt, you save more than one life— the one you adopted, and the space opened up to save another.
