I’M NOT PERFECT BUT MY HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE
Meet Houston! Houston was rescued from Houston, Texas during Hurricane Harvey by Yorkie911 Rescue Inc almost 2 years ago. Being such an adorable, young pup there was no doubt he would be adopted quickly, and he was. Unfortunately over the last couple years while in his home, Houston began exhibiting behavior issues and the family decided to return him to the rescue.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the complaints, the rescue was not able to accommodate Houston with an appropriate foster environment to assess the situation and turned to us for help. His story touched our hearts so deeply, that we could not say no to helping this frightened little boy.
Houston is about 2 years old, believed to be a Chihuahua Lab Mix, and weighs about 25 pounds. He is completely housebroken, crate trained and knows his basic commands plus. He loves walks, belly rubs, enjoys a good massage, and climbing into a lap to cuddle up to his people.
Houston is what we consider a sensitive dog here at Paws Give Me Purpose, and does not require Sanctuary. He is a highly adoptable dog, and his behaviors are very manageable. We are recommending a quiet adult only home with a couple something like a 55 and older couple or those with children who are in college and have the time to devote to him. Savvy dog experienced individuals who will be patient and give him the time he needs to decompress, learn to trust, and adjust to his new environment without overwhelming him. Houston warms up quickly and really just wants to be a lap dog and receive all your love and attention possible.
As for other dogs, we recommend either he be the only dog in a home, or a home with one other laid back dog around Houston’s size at most – he gets too overwhelmed otherwise.
We know that Houston’s future is bright, and in the right home environment he will excel. We are hoping and praying that he doesn’t have to wait much longer before someone will open their heart and home to a wonderful dog like him. We guarantee you will fall in love when you meet him!
