My story

Hey everyone, I’m Houston! I’m a happy go lucky pup! People are so fun to be around. I’m always found by them giving them gentle kisses and licks on the hand or wherever is closest to me (your face or feet too)! I love kids too or atleast all that I’ve met so far anyways! I love all the fur friends I've met so far too. I’m a kissy kind of guy. I like big and little dogs. I haven’t met any cats yet but my foster mom said I’d probably try to play but would be respectful if I was turned down. She thinks I’d get my heart broke. lol I keep myself company in an oversized wire kennel during the day while they’re gone and also sleep there at night to keep me contained since I’m still working on potty training. I’m just starting to work on leash walking and my first command, “sit.” I love toys & playing tug of war, maybe you’ll let me “tug” on your heartstrings if we meet? Houston is estimated to be 3.5 months old and 20 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting. We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events. Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/ for confirmed attendance the morning of the event. You do not need to have a Facebook account to check the Safe Hands Facebook page for attendance. We hope to see you at an upcoming Meet & Greet! Saturday, June 21, 11:00am-1:00pm, Brühaven - 1368 LaSalle Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403 https://www.facebook.com/events/1748031426093625 Sunday, June 29, 12:00-2:00pm, Unmapped Brewing, 14625 Excelsior Blvd, Minnetonka, MN 55345 https://www.facebook.com/events/996838482408846

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Houston, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
