Tubby is a loving, loyal older gentleman. He was found laying by his owner after his owner had passed away. He is now looking for a family who will be as loyal to him and make the rest of his days comfortable.
Tubby is a gentle soul. At a recent multi-rescue adoption event, Tubby was being taken outside to relieve himself when a chihuahua launched himself at Tubby and bit into his neck. Tubby didn't react and sat patiently while the chihuahua's owner grabbed him. Tubby ended up with some puncture wounds around his throat and the chihuahua didn't even get a scratch.

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.
