My name is Kricket and I am a 14 month old sweet girl. I got my name because I like to hop around like a little cricket. I still have plenty of puppy energy, but also enjoy my cuddles very much. I do well with older kids, gentle small kids (as small as 3) and love to play with other dogs. My foster mom says I am always trying to play with one of my foster siblings and when they are all tired I will play with toys. I will do best going to a home with another small dog like me, or a stay home parent, because I don't like being alone. I also enjoy playing with toys and running around the yard. I do very well during car rides and I do okay in a crate for short periods of time, but I don't really like it. I do great going to the potty outside. When I need to go I go and stand by the back door, but sometimes I have small accidents. My foster mom calls them "nervous pee" because I only do it when you reach to pick me up too suddenly. I have been through a lot in my short life and I really want to find a human who will love me for the rest of my life. Are you my human?

Kricket is an extremely loving and energetic little girl. She has been through a lot in her short life. She was adopted as a small puppy by what seemed to be a good family. When the family realized they didn't like her puppy behavior they abandoned her in a hotel room. The hotel staff just put her out the door. She crossed highway 10 and found her way to a Cheddars where she roamed the parking lot for several days possibly looking for food. There, a nice lady found her and brought her home. She was sick and nursed to health. She is now looking for her forever home! She needs someone who will love her and show her she will never be abandoned again.

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.
