Loretta - now known as Sophie - is a very gentle and loving doxie mix. She loves bigger dogs and children. She loves running and playing with her foster siblings, and also loves playing in water! She is also great at cuddling, if she's not outside running around you can guarantee she is right beside you on the couch snuggling. She is potty and crate trained, and enjoys sleeping with her humans at night but will sleep in a crate if necessary, she even runs right in if you ask her. She can be a little jumpy and shy at first, it took a couple of weeks for her to come out of her shell at our house so patience is key for the first couple/few weeks with this beautiful girl.

Please contact  app@aarfhouston.org for more information about this dog. You can apply online by clicking on Application . Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet and greet at one of our adoption events. Thank you for considering a rescue!

The adoption fee includes vaccinations, Bordetella, de-worming, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip. There is a an additional $12.99 fee for Home Again for a lifetime registration of the microchip.

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
