Beauty is a two year old hound mix who was living on the streets. The kids who live in a nearby apartment complex called her by the name of Chula (which she answers to). A good samaritan was feeding her for over a month and posting pleas for help on social media sites. One of our volunteers saw a plea on July 4th and drove over to rescue Beauty.
Beauty closely resembles a "Black Forest Hound" dog (a European breed per Google). Her weight is 46 lbs, she is good on a leash, rides well in the car, loves to chase a ball, does great at the vet, enjoys romping and playing with kids and dogs of all sizes. She is curious about the cats but not aggressive.
She is completely crate and house trained. She understands the following commands: Sit, kennel, treat, ball, no. Not only is Beauty incredibly intelligent and easy to train, she is hilarious at times. She will stand on her back legs and dance when she is excited and she absolutely loves to play with water from the hose (see video). Another good trait is that she is very alert and will notify you if someone is approaching your home. She also likes to bring you roses as seen in the photo below ;-).
Beauty is ready for adoption and looking forward to having a forever home. She may act shy at first but don't be fooled - she is full of personality and a pure joy to be around. A beautiful, sparkling jewel!

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.
