⭐️CAT OF THE WEEK⭐️

Meet Pippi! This sweetie came to us when her owner lost their home and could no longer keep her. She is super friendly and loves people. She would probably do best in a home with no other cats as she thinks she is a princess. She is a very petite girl and we believe she is around 1-2 years old. She was recently spayed and ready to find her forever home. She is current on vaccines, microchipped, and negative for FIV/FELV.

If interested in adopting Pippi please fill out an application 🏠

⭐️DOG OF THE WEEK⭐️

Meet Lady! This sweet girl is 11 years old and she is a smaller Lab only weighing 48 pounds. Lady came to us because her owners health was declining. She had been boarding at a vet clinic the last year and a half in hopes she was going to get to go back home, but now she is in need of a home. She is the sweetest girl with a very happy personality. She is good with other dogs and seems to be fine with cats. She is a typical happy go lucky Lab and you’d never guess she was 11 years old except for a minor limp in one of her front legs. She loves Nylabones and when she gets excited she loves to carry them around in her mouth. She has only been with us for 4 days and has already mastered our doggy doors. Lets get this girl into a forever home 🏠❤️

(Check out the comments for her cute Birthday pics from her birthday party the vet clinic she was boarding at threw for her 🥰)

Don’t forget to stop out at Starbucks tomorrow! We probably will not be there the whole time because of the heat, but we are hoping the AM will be cooler. So if you want to meet some adoptable dogs make sure to come out early ☺️

21/06/2025

Don’t forget to stop out at Pups on the Patio this Sunday 9-12!! We are hoping it won’t be too hot since we will be there in the AM, but if it gets too hot we will be leaving early. So if you want to come meet the dogs come closer to 9 ☺️

💔Confiscated from Cruelty. Scheduled to Die. Desperate for Grace💔

She doesn’t face the door. She doesn’t even try to be seen.

Abagurl sits curled in a cold corner of a shelter, her spine arched like a question mark—one the world refuses to answer. After surviving a life of cruelty, neglect, and silence, now she faces a deadline she doesn’t understand.

A confiscation dog from a hoarding cruelty case, Abagurl never knew kindness, never knew warmth. Now that she’s finally in a place that could offer her safety, she’s been deemed “not enough”—not cute enough, not healthy enough, not strong enough to be saved.

But what if someone finally showed her she is?

A thin, pale dog sits hunched in the sharp corner of a tiled kennel, facing the wall. Her back is curved tightly, as if trying to disappear into the cold, stained tiles. A thin blue towel beneath her is the only barrier between her bony frame and the hard floor.

Her head hangs low. She doesn’t look at the camera. She doesn’t move. The silence in the image is deafening—and the absence of hope nearly unbearable.

There is no aggression, no noise, no fight left in her. Only waiting. Only fear. Only the softest whisper of a tail that once wagged for someone who never deserved her.

Please include her ID: A2016180 in all correspondence

Abagurl isn’t dangerous. She’s not broken. She’s just... abandoned.

She has waited quietly in a corner her entire life. For someone. For anyone. Please, don’t let Friday be her final day simply because no one ever taught her to be loud.

She doesn’t bark. She doesn’t bite. But today, she’s begging with her silence.

If you’re local to Houston and can foster, adopt, or rescue, email immediately before the 1 PM deadline on 6/20. Let this be the start of her story—not the end.
