Miss Mary is what they call me but my fosrter mom calls me sweetness. I thought I had been forgotten when I lost my family and ended up on the street. I don't know how long I was hungry, lost and lonely until they found me and 1 of my puppies.

We went to the vet and got all of our shots. The Dr told me I have heartworms but that with meds I will be just fine. My foster mom makes sure I get my meds. I don't mind them as long as she puts them in a little wet food. Since I had a family once, I am house trained and crate trained. I don't chew things I shouldn't.

I am working on walking on the leash. Some one dragged me with a leash so I'm still a little scared but am doing better each day. I just want a full time family I can love and protect.

Sweetness was dumped with her son and daughter at a church in Arcola. Miss Mary is a very gentle dog. She was someone's pet before ending up on the street. In 4 days she has made great progress. Its like she is so grateful for being cared for. She is house broken, crate trained, not food aggressive, re-learning to walk on a leash. She is so very gentle. Please contact Michelle at 979-203-3007 or info@aarfhouston.org  for more information about this dog or to schedule a meet and greet.

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.
