Hi! My name is Shiner Bark, and I’m a 9 month old Texas Black Mouth Cur Mix. I was saved in my last hour from Harris County Animal Control. My foster mom saw my intake picture and just knew how special I was and that I deserved a chance. The first vet I saw told my foster mom what a great boy I was and how I will make some lucky person very happy. He was so glad that I was being given a chance at a good life.

I am a goofy and loveable puppy who enjoys carrying my toy dragon around everywhere. Sometimes, I even wag my backside so hard that I hit myself in the face with my tail. I adore playing with my foster sisters and brothers and my foster dad says that I am a great at “cuddles”, although a bit of a “bed hog” at times. I’m full of energy and I am always eager and willing to play a game of fetch, should the opportunity arise.

My foster parents are happy to report that I haven’t had any accidents inside the house and I am doing well with my manners training. I have been told that just because I am excited to see someone, doesn’t mean that I can jump on them when they greet me. That manner is still a work in progress, but I am trying my hardest to be a good boy. I would love to meet you if you think I might be the puppy for you!

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.
