Hi, my name is Gertrude. I’m the sweetest senior you’ll ever meet. I’m shy at first. But once we’re acquainted, I’ll follow you everywhere.  I’ve got spunk for a little old lady of 12. 

The past couple of years have been rough. A fire took my home and badly injured my mom so that she had to give me up.  And her family didn’t give me the best care.  I’m so happy to be in a  safe, happy foster home now. 

I’m looking for that special forever home in which I will be loved and spoiled like I deserve. I do best with adults and other small dogs like me. Kids and larger dogs charging after me can be very frightening, with my poor vision. I’ve never met a cat, so I’m not sure how I would feel about them. 

If you’re looking for a calm, lovable girl, look no further. I’m may be old, but I still have lots of love to give.

ADOPTION FEE:  The adoption fee includes vaccinations, bordetella, deworming, rabies, Microchip including a lifetime registration and spay/neuter.  

PUPPIES   Texas State law requires that we sterilize any animal adopted through this agency.     This will normally occur between 5 and 6 months at one of our approved veterinarians at the expense of the rescue.

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.

Approval:  You will be notified via email once your application is approved.  Once notified, we will schedule a meet and greet at one of our approved locations.   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.
