My Story

Bumble was found wandering an urban area of Houston. He was pretty terrified being out there and dodging traffic and well meaning people trying to catch him. He sought shelter in open garage while someone was washing their car, so she thought quickly and just closed the door! He was so grateful to be rescued!!

He is a high energy, playful young dog. Knows commands, crate trained and potty trained - no accidents yet! He is very shy at first, but that could just be because what he has been through as he was being chased by a whole neighborhood! He takes several days to warm up, but then he is your best friend! See short video! He is super bouncy and smart - he would be great at agility games.

We had him shaved because he had some matting on his legs and the vet thought it would just be best to shave him completely so she could examine him fully and no one would have to struggle to brush him out, being that he was so scared, but it will grow back and he will be fluffy again! He will need to be groomed every 8 weeks at the vet clinic.

He is healthy, neutered, UTD on shots, Heartworm negative and on flea and heartworm prevention. He tolerates other friendly small/medium dogs his size. He prefers to play with females only. BUMBLE WEIGHS 24 lbs, he is NOT a small Poodle.

He is brand new into our program, so at this time, while he adjusts to his foster home. We do feel he would do best in a home without children. NO exception. Older children may be fine (14yrs +). Bumble needs some manners and he is mouthy- training is a must. He likes to play rough and uses his mouth a little too much right now - he is not aggressive, just doesn't have manners.

Poodles were used as hunting dogs originally and Bumble does display some prey drive - he tries to catch birds and squirrels. He is FAST, too.

Must have vet references. We do home checks. Once adopted, he MUST attend a manners and obedience class, at Peace, Love and Dogs - no exceptions.

Meet Peanut & Buttercup. They were found, possibly dumped at a park 4th of July weekend. They need a foster home until owners or New Homes can be found. Fully vetted, healthy. Crate trained. Potty trained - no accidents yet. Love muffins. They can be separated. Peanut is a Havanese or LowChen mix, approx. 3 yrs old. Buttercup is approx. 2 yrs old, Cairn Terrier mix - she may be Peanut's puppy. Finder could not keep, and we didn't want them to end up in an already full shelter.

Max was abandoned and needs a foster now...please share

Max's Story:  He was abandoned by the used car lot after it was sold. 2 of his friends have found homes - he is all by himself out there. He was so well behaved at the adoption event today too. He didn't want to get out of my car to go back to the used car lot. Very sad. He was good with older children that were there to pet him. He ...loved on everyone that he met. He is a bigger guy at 65 lbs and he is 18 months old, so he may get to be 70-75 lbs as an adult. We think he is a Pointer Mix or Smooth Coated Border Collie Mix. Fully vetted - UTD on shots, deworming and neutered. He will come with a FULL TRAINING SCHOLARSHIP that we are providing. I will even loan you a crate if you would be so kind to foster him until a forever home is found -- it is so dang hot out there and he is outside 24/7, even in this storm. We have been granted 1 week to move him to a foster or forever home or he then will go to shelter and they are full, so he will be marked for euthanasia. This is MAX.

Pookie the Poodle Needs a Loving Parent

Pookie was rescued, along with his puppies and their mother from a home that could no longer care for them. They had been using him as a breeder dog for most of his life.

Since his rescue, he is enjoying being LOVED on and follows his foster mom around the house while PRANCING! He is small dog friendly and does okay with their friendly cat.

He is crate trained and potty trained.

He has been fully vetted and is healthy!! He does have some loss of vision, but will be seeing an eye specialist to see if we can correct that. He doesn't have any trouble moving around the house or finding the door so he can go potty.

He loves going on small walks around the block too!

Please give this fella a chance on a real, loving home! He has a lot of life left! He loves to cuddle.

Pookie is 13-14 yrs. old per the vet and has been vaccinated, neutered and microchipped with a lifetime registration.

We do require vet references and a home visit.

Adoption fee for puppies under 1 yr. old is $250 to cover the vetting costs. Seniors are only $150 and if they require medication, we will provide them.

Rescue Story of the Week

It was a BIG adventure for this tiny doggy. When I first went out to Cullen Drive, he was nowhere to be found. They were having a big conference at the church, so I think he took a hike in the freezing rain. I decided to drive around Cullen with the warm, roasted chicken on top of my car. Sure enough, as I was pulling back in the parking lot of the church, he came walking up cautiously.

I was out there for 3 hours with my famous roasted chicken and he was following me around the lot and up to the crate they set up for him. He wanted nothing to do with the crate b/c the church people tried to trap him in there and he bolted before they could shut the door. Aleida was great and helped me open a side office door to lure him in, but he was very leary of that, so back to the basics of hand feeding.

He would come up to my car and eat at my feet while enjoying the heat off my car engine. He was soaking wet and shivering non-stop. Candy V. and her hubby Jason came over to help me catch him, as he was getting full of chicken and wanted to start roaming again.

He was pretty timid of males too, so I wasn’t sure what he was going to do when Jason showed up.
Then, a homeless guy tried to join in, and then some girl that was living at the motel came running over to see what we were up to and this made this tiny fella very nervous and me too!
I hate working on busy streets b/c dogs will just dart into traffic to get away. And that is what happened. He darted across Cullen to the Fingers’ parking lot and Candy blocked him from running down 45 S feeder. We were all terrified for him.

He then ran back across Cullen into a field and we thought all was lost and that he would never go to the church again. So, I thought I would drive to the church to get him to follow me again and he tried to follow me as I was feeding him chicken through the fence, and then I noticed that he was near a corner of that big field and we could block him in and leash him.

SI called Candy to come back to help. She and Jason joined me in the field and we slowly walked towards him. He came up to me and I almost had him, but I couldn’t make my thumbs move so I could get the leash around him. I just sat there and baby talked him to calm him down.

Then, we realized it was now or never as we were losing light. He was cornered now, but not in a good way. The over grown field had not only big Aloe Vera plants everywhere, Palm tree leaves were hiding the razor wire at the bottom of the fence. He crawled right through it and sat there with his back to us.

I first tried to get him, but my jacket kept getting caught on the razor wire – it was everywhere – down low, mid level near our faces when we squat down, and up above our heads. It was like a booby-trap.

Jason wasn’t afraid, so he went in and was getting poked and nicked by the razor and the sharp plants. He didn’t care – it was a “leave no man behind” kind of mission. Candy was right behind him pushing the fence away to give Jason more room, so he could just squeeze in a couple of more inches to get a better grip on him. This tiny fella was shutting down, closing his eyes and curling up as he was trying to make himself disappear.

As Jason grabbed him, he went limp which made more difficult to get him out of this maze of razor wire, but Jason just kept calm and worked him through it. That little dog was holding on to Jason as tightly as Jason was holding on to him! We finally got a leash on him and he rode all the way home hugging Jason and even fell asleep on Jason! He is nice and warm, wearing a doggy winter jacket and his belly is full of chicken.

He is resting nicely and will soon go to a foster home until he is vetted, and boy does he need vetting! He needs to be neutered, shots, and get heartworm tested. Candy said he was covered in fleas, so I gave him a Capstar and I will bathe him in the morning.

He had NO interest in leaving the crate for a potty break. He wagged his tail when I came in to check on him and cried just a second as I left. Aleida said he would cry up at the church too.

I think he was dumped or got lost by someone staying at the motel. He has been at the church since New Years’s Day, but the homeless guy said he had been out there for 2 months. I betcha he took off running from fireworks on NYE and couldn’t find his way home.

He weighs about 10 lbs and could gain 1-2 lbs. Very scared, but sweet. It turned out to be a good day! His name is Eddie Cullen - B/c he has the body of a tiny JRT like Eddie from Fraiser, but looks like a Wire Haired Terrier and he was on Cullen. Hmm...wasn't the vampire named Edward Cullen?!!
