Hey there, I’m Good Boi. How did I get that name? Well, let me tell you! I am a very good dog! I showed up to what is now my foster home looking for love and safety and even ran up and jumped on my foster mom to give her a big hug with my two front paws! I’m still learning not to jump up but otherwise, I am very good with kids, even very small ones. I L-O-V-E water- can you hose me down or get me a kiddy pool? I would be so happy! I’m very well-trained and I love to play. With these good looks and sweet disposition, a nice family is sure to want me as a new addition, right? Hurry and apply to be THAT family before someone beats you to it!

Hi, I’m Verlander! ⚾🐾 I was named after a former Astros player so you already know I’ve got a big personality to match my big size!

I’m a big, well-behaved girl with an even bigger heart. I absolutely love people—adults and kids alike—and I’m always happy to make new friends. I’m also great with other dogs and consider myself a true social butterfly. 🦋

I’m ready to be part of a family where I can share lots of love, fun, and good times. There’s just one thing to know about me: cats are not my thing, so I need a cat-free home.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, loving, well-mannered lady with a friendly personality, I just might be your MVP! ⚾❤️

Hi, my name is Bregman — yes, like the former Astros player! ⚾🐾

I’m a handsome, mature boy with a big heart to match my size. Don’t let my muscles fool you—I’m really just a cuddly sweetheart who loves affection and quality nap time.

One of my recent accomplishments? Conquering my fear of stairs! Although, between us, I still think being carried by my foster dad is the superior option… even if he makes funny grunting noises while doing it.

I’m a well-mannered gentleman who knows sit, stay, roll over, and leave it. I sleep happily in my crate and am perfectly content relaxing at home while you’re away. I’m the kind of dog who minds his own business until it’s time for cuddles.

I do have a sensitive stomach so I eat a special diet—but don’t worry, I haven’t lost my love for treats! They’re one of my favorite things.

When I’m on a leash, I can get a little excited when I see other dogs, but I’ve been working hard on my manners and making great progress. Once properly introduced, I’m very friendly with other dogs in the home.

If you’re looking for a gentle giant, a loyal companion, and a world-class cuddler, then I might just be your perfect match.

A little hope...

She was possibly sighted in the same area around 1pm today.

If you live in this area, especially, PLEASE keep your eyes wide open for this girl!

Remember, do not chase. Call immediately: 832-499-0435

Hi, I’m Lois. I spent a few months last summer living in my old backyard after my human mom passed away and my human dad went into assisted living. It was heartbreaking, but then my foster mom took me to her house and now I feel loved and safe again. Don’t let my age fool you, I’m still very goofy and playful. I love to sun in the backyard, roll in the cool grass, and go on short walks through the neighborhood. Don’t have a yard? That’s okay. The apartment life would be perfectly fine with me, as I don’t need much exercise. However, my most favorite thing to do in the world is to spend time with you! I’m happy to keep myself busy with a kong or antler chew when you go to work and then we can snuggle on the couch when you get home. Still working from home? I’d make an excellent work from home buddy, as I spend most of the day napping on my plush bed.

I’m pretty easygoing, as a matter of fact. No need for lots of exercise, as I much prefer working on my couch potato skills while watching TV and eating lots of snacks! I also love to play with anything that squeaks and am really good at keeping myself entertained when you are busy. Sometimes I even toss the toys and chase them myself (but it’s always more fun to play with you). One thing though, I love my toys so much that I’d prefer to not have to share them with another dog and would like to live as an only fur child. I’ve also already attended a group manners class and know sit, down, wait, and some other key skills that will help me be the most polite girl in my forever home. Oh, and I walk nicely on the leash too! If I sound perfect, it’s because I’m pretty close, apply to meet me today.

G’day, I’m Chloe. Years ago, I was adopted from this same rescue into a loving home with a mama who adored me and a whole gang of other furry friends- dogs of all sizes and cats, too. That was the DREAM. Sadly, my mommy passed away so I’m back here, hoping to get lucky twice, and find another family to love me just as much as she did. I don’t really interact with other animals but I co-exist just fine. Once I warm up to you, I’m your reliable, sweet, quiet shadow. Being that I’m no spry chicken, I’m house-trained and don’t bother anything at all so no need for a kennel. I like to perch on the window seat or rest at your feet, gently bumping you for head scratches. If you’d like an older girl like me to keep you company, I’m definitely interested in meeting you.

Meet Chowder! Chowder is still looking for his forever home! He’s a sweet orange-and-white boy who may be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, his loving personality shines. He enjoys playtime, being close to his people, and may do well with other pets and experienced children.

Hi! I’m Lucky, a pup with a huge love for life. I may be little, but trust me — my personality shows up before I do. I’m the kind of puppy who wakes up every morning ready to spread joy, wiggle my whole body, and give the world my signature puppy kisses.

I believe every human deserves at least three things: Happy zoomies, warm snuggles, and a smooch from me!

When I’m not kissing faces, I’m exploring everything — leaves, socks, squeaky toys, the mysterious corner behind the couch. Life is exciting, and I’m here for all of it.

I’m playful, affectionate, and a little dramatic in the best way. If you sit down, I’ll sit with you. If you laugh, I’ll wiggle. If you cry, I’ll kiss your nose until you forget why you were sad. That’s just who I am.
