I am just adorable, older children only.  I need another dog for company Hi!  I am Kia!   
 I have been having a great time with my foster brothers and sisters.  I especially like the big guys mom calls Mastiffs, but I am not selective. I love the little babies too.  
   I have been vaccinated, spayed, micro chipped and have had my rabies shot so I won't get sick.    I don't potty in the house, but we have a doggie door where I can go out when I need to.   I DO NOT CRATE!  As hard as mom tries,  I hate being crated and will hurt myself.    I usually spend time in the Dining room with my friends when Mom needs me to be secure.    I love sleeping with with Dad at night.    I think it is my job to protect him while he sleeps.   I am looking for a forever home where I have at least one other fur friend so I am not lonely.   I love to run around the back yard chasing all the other kids so it would be great if when you adopt me, you have another small friend for me.     
 I don't know much about kids, but I think I would like an older boy or girl to call my own.   Mom says - NO WAY  CAN I BE ADOPTED by a small child.   She would have to say NO WAY!   
 If you think I am as special as my foster mom says I am, please fill out an application.

  Puppies  that are under 4 months old cannot be adopted outside of our Veterinary Service area.  Please call for specific locations.  Children under 8 years old  often are not a good match for our puppies and dogs.   In order to protect both, your child and our rescued dogs/puppies from harm, we seldom if ever adopt to families with young children. 
 Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet and greet at one of our adoption events.  Thank you for considering a rescue!   The adoption fee includes vaccinations, Bordetella, de-worming, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip. There is a an additional $12.99 fee for Home Again for a lifetime registration of the microchip.
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. 
 NOTE: In our bios, we provide information based on our volunteer's experience with a particular dog; such as temperament, training, and ability to get along with others.

Adoption fees do not begin to cover all of the medical costs. Any     donation    , no matter how small is a big help and is greatly appreciated. Please help us to continue to help them. Thank you.
