Story
Hi! My name is Victor! The shelter is my current home, but I'm looking for something a little more permanent. I've grown up here and even though I am comfortable with my shelter family, I may be a little shy with new people. After a few days to get used to my new surroundings, I'll blossom into the fun loving dog I am. I like to run and play with my siblings and I always like to greet you with a smile. If you are interested in opening up your heart and home to a shelter dog in need, I could be the one!

Story
Meet Emma – the girl with the sweetest smile and the most soulful eyes you've ever seen (seriously, she smiles and it melts everyone she meets). Every single person who spends time with her falls in love instantly – she's just that special. Emma is a sweet and affectionate 5-year-old, 60-lb spayed female pit bull mix who will melt your heart with her velcro-like love and cuddly nature. She is being fostered in HOUSTON, TEXAS and can be transported out of state once matched with an approved adopter. Emma is fully vaccinated, microchipped, crate trained, and house trained. She is the complete package for someone seeking a loyal and loving companion Emma is a true LOVER who thrives on affection and bonds deeply with her person. Her favorite place to be is right by your side, where she can bask in your attention and return it tenfold with endless tail wags, gentle kisses, and adoring eyes. Whether you’re curled up on the couch watching your favorite show or heading out for a leisurely stroll, Emma is your steadfast partner, always ready to join you. Her low to moderate energy level means she’s just as happy to relax at home as she is to explore the great outdoors. Emma walks beautifully on a leash and responds wonderfully to commands and gentle redirection, making her a joy to take on walks. She’s been assessed by a professional trainer and has proven herself to be an eager learner with excellent manners. She’s also a pro at making her humans smile with her gentle demeanor and loving personality. Emma’s house manners are impeccable. She’s not destructive and knows how to respect your space while still being a devoted companion. While she adores humans of all ages and is fine with kids, Emma thrives as the center of attention and will need to be the only dog in the home. Her ideal family is one who will cherish her as much as she cherishes them. When it comes to other dogs, Emma is still figuring things out. She gets very excited when she sees other pups on walks and is easily redirectable with a little help from her human. She’s met a friend’s dog on leash before – and while she was full of wiggles and interest at first, she quickly lost interest and happily went about her walk. In her foster home, Emma doesn’t have direct dog buddies, but she’s been able to peacefully coexist with other dogs from behind a crate or a baby gate. With time and proper introductions, she may continue to build her confidence and social skills around other dogs. That said, we believe Emma will thrive best as the only dog in her forever home, where she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves. Emma is a total sweetheart with people – affectionate, expressive, and always ready for snuggles. She’s the kind of dog who turns heads not just for her good looks, but for the joy she brings into every room she enters. Emma’s gentle soul and unwavering devotion make her a perfect fit for someone looking for a loyal best friend. She’ll greet you every day with a wagging tail and a heart full of love, ready to bring joy, comfort, and companionship into your life. Apply today to meet Emma and let her show you just how special she is. She’s ready to be your one and only and can’t wait to start her happily ever after with you!

Story
Meet Hershey – a 3.5-year-old, 42-pound spayed female Pit Bull Terrier/Bulldog mix with a heart as sweet as her name! Currently in a loving foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS, Hershey is ready to transport out of state once her perfect match is approved. Hershey may be pint-sized, but she’s got a big personality and even bigger love to give. She was found wandering the streets of Houston until her amazing foster stepped in and gave her a safe place to land. Since then, she’s blossomed into a loyal, affectionate, and easygoing companion who’s ready for a forever home of her own. This low-rider cuddle bug absolutely adores her people—she’s happiest when she’s curled up next to you on the couch or following you from room to room. She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her humans and thrives in a home where she can be part of the family’s daily life. Hershey is fully housebroken and does well in her crate. She’s great on a leash, walks calmly, and loves getting out to sniff and explore the neighborhood. While she may be short in stature, she carries herself with confidence and will let you know if someone’s at the door—her little bark is all part of her charm! She’s playful, curious, and loves a good case of the zoomies, especially in a yard where she can run off some energy. While she’s generally mellow indoors, she enjoys regular walks, sniff sessions, and time outside. Loud noises like fireworks and thunderstorms can spook her, so a calm, secure environment during those moments is important. Hershey has had a positive experience with children, including a gentle 9-year-old boy, and her affectionate nature makes her a great match for a home with respectful kids. She’s also made great progress with other dogs—she has a bouncy play style and may put her front paws on another dog to initiate play. Because of this, she’d do best either as the only pet (where she can soak up all the love!) or with a calm, tolerant dog who won’t mind her enthusiastic approach. We don’t have any history with cats, so slow, supervised introductions—or a cat-free home—would be best for now. Hershey is looking for a stable, loving home where she can continue to thrive, feel safe, and be someone’s loyal sidekick. She’s full of love, personality, and wiggles, and she’s more than ready to trade in her foster couch for a permanent one. If you're looking for a snuggly, playful, and devoted companion—Hershey is ready to be your best friend

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meryl Streep is a 5.5-month-old, 35 lb, spayed female Pitbull mix (DOB 5/23/25), expected to be a medium-to-large adult once fully grown. With her adorable floppy ears and narrow snout, she has a uniquely charming look that makes her stand out from the rest of her litter. She is being fostered in the same Houston home where she was born and can transport to the Petfinder-listed city once an adopter has completed our screening process, virtual home visit, and reference checks. Sweet, sensitive, and full of quiet charm — Meryl Streep is a gentle girl who may be nervous at first, but she warms up beautifully with patience and soft reassurance. Once she feels safe, she becomes affectionate, playful, and eager to be near her people. She enjoys spending time with her siblings, loves gentle affection, and has a calm, tender personality that makes her incredibly lovable. Meryl hasn’t been around children yet, but we expect she will do well with kids who understand how to respect a dog’s boundaries. We have no history with cats. Meryl is doing great for her age — she’s been introduced to a crate, is progressing well with potty training, and is learning the rhythms of home life. She is not yet leash trained, so her new family should be ready to teach her about walks, harnesses, and exploring the world at her pace. With consistency, encouragement, and positive reinforcement, she will continue to grow into a confident and well-adjusted dog. Because she is still young, we’re looking for a home where someone is home more often than away — puppies flourish with structure, time, and companionship. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and benefits from having canine friends around. If you’re ready for a loving, gentle puppy with a heart as soft as her floppy ears, Meryl Streep may be the perfect addition to your family. __

Story
Willa is a 3-month-old female Staffie mix currently being fostered in Austin, TX, but can transport out of state when matched with an approved adopter. Willa is a sweet girl with a playful, independent streak. She loves zooming across the yard or crawling on her belly just for laughs. She’s also the first to sound the alarm when something new appears, like the vacuum, showing off her curious and spirited personality. With her energy and sense of humor, she’s just as happy entertaining herself with toys as she is romping around with her siblings. Willa is treat- and toy-motivated, which will help her thrive with training as she grows. She has the perfect mix of sweetness, independence, and spunk, making her a great match for a family looking for a smart, fun-loving puppy who can keep herself busy but still enjoys attention and affection. Like most puppies her age, Willa is still working on housebreaking and crate training, so she’ll need a family that’s ready to guide her with patience, structure, and consistency. Because she’s still young and learning, she’ll do best in a home where someone is around more often than not to help support her development and give her the attention she needs to thrive. She’s already making steady progress—she sleeps through the night in her crate and is picking up on routines quickly. She’s not yet leash trained, so her forever family should be prepared to help her build confidence with walks and new environments. Willa hasn’t been around children or cats, but we believe she would do well in a calm home with respectful, well-mannered kids who understand how to interact with puppies. She’s fantastic with other dogs and would benefit from the companionship of a confident canine friend. We can’t guarantee Willa’s adult size, but based on her current age and breed mix, she is estimated to grow into a large-sized dog. If you’re ready for a playful, independent, and spirited puppy who will keep you smiling, Willa is ready to meet you!
