Matthew was an owner surrender when a neighborhood dog attacked him.   The owner was not able to afford the medical expenses required to help Matthew, so the Rescue accepted him into the program.

Matthew is with a foster while he is continuing to heal from the attack.  He had a fair amount of damage to his tummy.  

We know he walks well on a leash, loves to go in the car.  He is a bit touchy around other dogs, but I would say that is normal for his circumstances.

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.
