Oh my goodness! This guy has turned out to be such a cutie. Arlo is a total character who will keep you laughing. Arlo was tied up behind an H&#226&#128&#145E&#226&#128&#145B for over 12 hours. Nobody knows how or why but thank goodness a Good Samaritan saw him and took him home. Arlo is an Australian shepherd mix about 3-4 years old. He weighs right around 40 pounds. He has the absolute cutest prance, a HUGE SMILE, and absolutely loves his “puppy massage” Arlo is up to date on vaccines and is neutered. Sadly he is heartworm positive but Scout’s Honor Rescue will cover the cost of his slow kill treatment. If interested in adopting or fostering Arlo please fill out the appropriate application and we will be in touch right away. November 29, 2025, 11:55 pm

If you would like more information about Angel or are interested in adopting her, please send an email to davidchandler1213@gmail.com Meet Angel – A Sweet Soul Looking for a Calm, Loving Home Angel is a beautiful 9-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. We adopted her in 2018, and she’s been a loyal companion ever since. She’s house-trained, well-mannered indoors, and happiest when she’s by your side on a peaceful walk or relaxing nearby. Angel thrives in a calm, predictable environment. She hasn’t done well with other dogs, so she’d do best as the only dog in the home. But she gets along well with our cats so it's possible she could adjust to other cats. Her ideal home would be with adults or older children. Although Angel can pull when she sees other dogs, she absolutely loves going for walks and being outdoors. We recently welcomed a baby into our home, and unfortunately, Angel has been showing signs of stress around the baby. This decision has been heartbreaking, but we want to do what’s best for her, and that means finding a home where she can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. Angel is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and in good health. She would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal, low-key best friend to share their life with. If you think you could be the right fit for Angel, we’d love to talk with you and arrange a meet and greet.

Story
Winston is a one-of-a-kind pup with a heart full of love and a personality that will melt you on the spot. Call him a good boy, and he’ll wag his little nub with pride. Give him a favorite toy, and he might softly cry out of pure joy. He even smiles when he’s happy—it’s impossible not to smile back. Winston is the perfect blend of silly and soulful. He drinks water so gently it sounds like a babbling brook, and he’s so obedient and trainable you can balance treats or toys on his head without a fuss. He’s also incredibly gentle—he’ll carry a piece of fruit around in his mouth like a prized possession, never piercing the skin until he’s truly ready to enjoy it. Though he may come across as rambunctious at times, underneath it all Winston is deeply affectionate, shockingly intelligent, and endlessly sweet. He loves to be carried like a baby, kicks his little feet when he dreams, and thrives on closeness and connection with his humans. If you’re looking for a dog who’s full of quirky charm, big feelings, and gentle love, Winston is your guy. Apply to adopt Winston today!

Meet Butterscotch — the Sweetest Shepherd Mix Searching for Her Forever Home!2 years old • Gentle • Quiet • Dog-loving • Perfect mannersButterscotch is a stunning, soft-spirited shepherd mix with the sweetest, most endearing personality. At just two years old, she already has excellent manners — she’s fully potty trained, crate trained, and has a calm, polite presence that makes her incredibly easy to love. She’s also wonderfully quiet — she never barks and is happiest lounging peacefully on her bed, keeping you company without ever being demanding.This girl absolutely lights up around other dogs. She plays beautifully, follows their lead, and gains confidence from having a canine friend nearby. Because of that, Butterscotch would thrive in a home with another friendly dog who can be her buddy and show her the ropes.Her temperament is wonderfully gentle and tender, with a natural timidity that only makes her more lovable. She’s the kind of dog who quietly leans in for affection, watches you with soft eyes, and blossoms with reassurance. Her sweetness makes us believe she’d do wonderfully with kind, respectful children.Butterscotch is truly a homebody — she feels most comfortable in familiar spaces where she can relax, observe, and feel safe. She enjoys quietly exploring her surroundings and checking in often, but she’s happiest when settled at home, curled up on her bed near the people (and dogs) she loves. She’s also curious about cats, and seems to want to be one… She loves catnip toys!If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, low-maintenance companion — especially one who adores other dogs and thrives in a peaceful home — Butterscotch might just be your perfect match. She’s ready to bring warmth, sweetness, and gentle joy to the home lucky enough to call her theirs.Come meet Butterscotch and let her melt your heart. If you are interested in adopting please email Barcfoster@houstontx.gov today!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Benji, an incredibly loving and quiet dog who loves to explore, go on walks, play, follow you around, and get as many pets from you as he can! Although not much of a barker or whiner, Benji is still very social. Every person and dog he meets is his friend. This makes him perfect walking buddy as he never makes a fuss when somebody walks by. He also enjoys lounging around and begging for pets and scratches. If he decides the amount of attention you gave him wasn’t enough, he’ll put his paw onto your hand to get you to continue! Benji is very well-behaved overall. Even when he’s hesitant to do something you want him to (like taking a bath), he never shows signs of aggression. He is crate-trained and sleeps through the night without any issues. He's also potty-trained! Benji would be a great fit in any type of household, especially one with kids and other dogs. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet companion who will give you endless amounts of love, Benji is the match for you. Benji is a male Border Collie mix with an estimated date of birth of 3/1/19. He weighs 38 lbs.
