Hi! It’s me Houston again. I’m feeling a little sad today, I can’t understand why I am still waiting?! I think I’m pretty adorable if I do say so myself. Isn’t there anyone out there that wants me?

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 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.

I also love the Edible Nylabone Sweet Potato bones; they are my favorite afternoon snack, and I love all the homemade meals and treats they make here at Paws Give Me Purpose. They make me feel really special here, and tell me how wonderful I am every day.

I just need some guidance, and I really do not require Sanctuary. Don’t get me wrong, I do like it here at Paws Give Me Purpose, but I really would love to have my very own forever family. 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, for 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 overwhelm me.

For those of you who have been following my story, you know that I have been through so much trauma and change in my young life that I really just want a home with a mommy and daddy that will understand me, love me and cherish me forever. I am really very sweet and affectionate once I get to know you, and love climbing into a lap and getting spoiled.

If you want to be my mommy or daddy, I promise to love you forever! I’m a really good boy, won’t someone please give me a chance; I guarantee you will fall in love when you meet me!

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WILLING TO GIVE ME A CHANCE?

Hi, it’s me Houston, and I am feeling a bit sad today and just want to lay here and cuddle my new toys. I still haven’t found my forever home; I sometimes wonder…am I not worth loving?

The people here at Paws Give Me Purpose tell me I’m adorable, and I’m really glad that they were able to take me in, and give me the help I need in order to become better at just being a dog. I just need to learn that no one or thing wants to hurt me, then I trust. It’s frightening to think what would have happened to me if Paws Give Me Purpose didn’t open their doors to help me; they did not want to see me end up in a shelter. I hear those are scary places and I don’t think I would have had a chance at life if I ended up there.

For those of you not familiar with my story, 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 think I am a Chihuahua Lab Mix. I weigh about 25 pounds, am completely housebroken, and know all my basic commands. I love belly rubs and really enjoy a good massage. I do suffer from some fear based anxiety because it seems I never learned to really trust you humans. I am people selective, but can easily be won over, and enjoy cuddling up to the people I feel comfortable with.

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.

I also love the Edible Nylabone Sweet Potato bones and love all the homemade meals and treats they make here at Paws Give Me Purpose. I am a bit picky with which meals I am in the mood for, I’m thinking it would be nice to have a menu to order from.

The staff and volunteers here at Paws Give Me Purpose consider me a sensitive dog. They do not feel that anyone should have ever labeled me “aggressive”. Maybe it was because I lived with children in my former home, and didn’t really seem to like them; I acted out badly toward them. I’m thinking they never really understood me and I was just afraid of them. 

I am just a  little boy who just needs some guidance; I really 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, for the real love of my life. A quiet home, with just a mommy and daddy; not a lot of people traffic going in and out. I 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 overwhelm me.

EXCUSE ME, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD BE MY MOMMY OR DADDY?

Hi everyone, it’s me Houston. This is how I spent my Valentine’s weekend; in the arms of a loving volunteer. How about you? I hope everyone out there was feeling the love; I sure did, but I really wish I had my very own mommy and daddy to share it with.

For those of you who don’t know me, 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.

Paws Give Me Purpose tells me that my story touched their hearts so deeply, that they could not say no to helping me – they did not want to see me end up in a shelter. Honestly, I hear those are scary places and I don’t think I would have had a chance at life if I ended up there.

I am a young little boy who just needs some guidance, and I really do not require Sanctuary. I have been told that I will make a wonderful companion in the right home, and I agree. I am searching for a best friend, for the real love of my life, but I think I need a quiet, adult only home. I prefer a calm environment that doesn’t have a lot of company 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 overwhelm me.

I’m really glad that Paws Give Me Purpose was able to take me in, and get me the medical and behavioral care I needed in order to help me on the way to becoming better at just being a dog. I just need to learn that no one or any thing wants to hurt me, then I trust. It’s frightening to think what would have happened to me if Paws Give Me Purpose didn’t open their doors to help me.

I guarantee you will fall in love when you meet me! What are you waiting for?!
