Hi, it’s me Houston. I have some news to share with all of you…

Although I am not entirely sure what it means, everyone here at Paws Give Me Purpose seems very excited. I have been told that I am going to have something called a meet and greet. 

I have also been told if all goes well with this meet and greet thing, I will have a forever home…is that true? Someone filled out something called an application and wants to meet me.

I’m a little nervous about this, you see, I’m a bit people selective; but the staff and volunteers here say they will help me with that. I am going to try really hard to be on my best behavior, and I hope the people coming to meet me give me all the time I need to get to know them. 

I’m not sure what all this means, and it sounds a little scary. I would really love to have my very own mommy and or daddy who will love me forever; I promise to love them forever right back. 

I’m not sure what I am supposed to do to get ready. What do you think, should I get dressed up? Which look do you think I should go with?

Send some good luck wishes my way, I could really use all the positive vibes possible!

DOESN’T ANYONE OUT THERE
WANT TO BE MY MOMMY AND DADDY?

Hi! It’s Houston again…I can’t understand why I’m still waiting! Am I not cute enough? Is it because I don’t like children? Because I require some medications? Or is it because I need time to learn to trust? Maybe everyone thinks “someone else will take me?” Maybe because I’m not on death row? Maybe people believe I’m “safe ” with the luxury of time… I can’t think of anything else, but I really want my own mommy and daddy.

I am a special boy you see, I got my name when I was rescued from Houston, Texas during Hurricane Harvey by Yorkie911 Rescue, Inc almost 2 years ago. I was so adorable that I was adopted quickly. Sadly, over the last couple years in what I thought was my forever home, I began behaving badly and my family didn’t want me anymore.

I am 2 years old and they think I am a Chihuahua Lab Mix. I weigh about 25 pounds, am completely housebroken, crate trained, and know all my basic commands. I love belly rubs and really enjoy a good massage. I do have some fears, because it seems I never really learned to really trust you humans, but I am slowly learning and getting a little better at just being a dog. 

I love walks, but am a bit reactive to people and their dogs I may see along the way. I also try to chase all the squirrels and bunnies in the neighborhood, but whoever walks me knows how to redirect me in these situations; it’s really not difficult to do. 

I really like it here at Paws Give Me Purpose, but I really would love to have my very own forever family. I am just a little boy that needs some guidance and structure; I do not require Sanctuary. I have been told that I will make a wonderful companion in the right home, and I agree, so I am searching for a best friend, the real love of my life. 

I prefer a calm environment and just want to be around my people and have them devote their time to me. I could possibly live with one other doggie sibling my own size at the most; big dogs frighten me and too many dogs really overwhelm me.

I really just want a home with a mommy and/or daddy that will love me unconditionally, understand me, and cherish me forever. I am really very sweet and affectionate once I get to know you, and I warm up very quickly; I just love climbing into a lap and getting spoiled. 

Please, would you be my mommy or daddy? I promise to love you forever! I’m a really good boy, and I guarantee you will fall in love when you meet me!

Since Paws Give Me Purpose is a Sanctuary, and normally do not handle adoptions, applications to adopt me will be processed by Yorkie911 Rescue.
