1. Papito

Adult (3 years 1 month) · Male · Jack Russell Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Aldine

DOB 10/1623, weight 16 #

Hey there, everyone! I’m Papito, a black and tan Jackshund (Jack Russell/ Dachshund mix) fella. I was happily situated in my adoptive home until my owners encountered financial difficulties. Unfortunately they had to downsize to a smaller home and couldn’t take me with them. Thank heavens my new foster mom welcomed me with open arms until I can find a new home. I get along great with the visiting grandkids, other small dogs, and even the cats in my foster home, although I’m nervous around large dogs whom I meet on walks.

Read more about Papito

Because my previous household was quiet, when I first arrived in my foster home, I was very fearful and shy because of the robust dog and cat activity. Fortunately, Foster Mom knew that it would take time and patience for me to adjust into my new “digs,” and with her gentle voice and affectionate touch, she has been showing me that I am securely loved, and --voilà! – watching me blossom has been something truly special for her. My prior owners had not trained me well, but Foster Mom is helping me work on my housetraining and crate-training – let’s just say that I’m a work-in-progress.

Now I’m looking for the family who will welcome me into my forever household. If you have a quiet home and a little patience, I think we might be exactly who each of us has been waiting for. Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!

HOPE ID D26-1016-0055

Papito’s $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.

2. Boy

Young (2 years) · Male · Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier / Cairn Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 7 mi from Aldine

DOB 10/16/24, weight 22 pounds

Hey there, everyone! I’m Boy, a happy, friendly, and calm grey-cream Wheaton/ Cairn Terrier mix fella who weighs exactly in the middle of these two breeds! What a perfect size I am to be devoted to all ages of hoomans in my foster home – adults and grandkids. Plus I get along great with the cats and other small dogs! I’m already crate- and house-trained, which is another bonus.

I was happily situated in my adoptive home, along with my little buddy King, until my hooman mom was hospitalized and my elderly hooman dad could not care for the two of us. Thank heavens my new foster mom opened her arms and home to both of us until we can find a new home. If you’re looking for a sweet scruffy terrier who’s just the right size – not to small and not too large – I’m the loving boy made to order for you. Arrange to meet me today, and see if I don’t cause love and laughter to echo throughout your house among you and your kids.

3. Lola

Puppy (5 months 11 days) · Female · Jack Russell Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat) · 7 mi from Aldine

DOB 5/6/26, weight up to 15 lb. at maturity

Hey there, everyone! I’m Lola, a very sweet, feisty, and very playful wire-coated Russell Terrier mix gal who looks like a plush toy come to life! I may have some Chihuahua mixed in because I’m mostly black with white paws and vest, and Russell Terriers are always mostly white with black markings. My dark, almond-shaped eyes and mobile V-shaped ears exhibit the Russell’s hallmark intelligent expression.

Read more about Lola

I have an adorable personality – although I rarely like to be held -- and I love to run and have fun. Although I’d probably be good around kids, Foster Meowmy prefers my forever family to be toddler-free. I’d probably be good around cats, but I can’t promise that I wouldn’t chase them! I get startled by large dogs, so Foster Mom is insisting that I be adopted into a home with no large dogs. Actually, I'd shine the most if there's only a small, male dog to be my buddy or if I'm an only dog-child.

Foster Mommy noticed that my sisters, Lili and Luna, and I were kept outside by my owners. After expressing her concern to them that we weren’t meant to be strictly outdoor dogs, she was able to persuade them to surrender us to her. They admitted that they couldn’t financially afford to keep us anyway. I weighed 8 pounds at 3 months old and should weigh up to 15 pounds at maturity.

Now I’m ready to become the jaunty, lively new addition to my forever family. In fact, I dream about running around in the backyard with everyone and then collapsing in their laps while we watch TV together. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant we meet!

4. Spring

Young (1 year) · Female · Carolina Dog / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Aldine

DOB 9/1/25, weight 31 lb.
Hey there, everyone! I’m Spring, a very sweet, calm, and very friendly Carolina Dog with four white paws and vest. Although a DNA test would reveal my heritage, I look like the ancient breed of Carolina Dog because of my large, upright ears, “fishhook” tail, and foxy-looking snout. Do you think I look like an Australian dingo?
A Good Samaritan saw me and my buddy Briar wandering for days in Spring Branch. That's why she named me Spring! She finally started feeding me until she could rescue and deliver me to my wonderful Foster Mom. I was so relieved to be in a safe haven because the hardscrabble life is no place for me.

Read more about Spring

Foster Mom assumes that I was someone’s lost or abandoned pet because I’m great with kids as well as the resident cats and I’m already housetrained. With my engaging disposition, it's no surprise that I’m ecstatic when I see her!
Now I’m ready to bring my winsome personality and relaxed tranquility to bless my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant that we meet!

5. Kathy

Adult (3 years) · Female · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Aldine

DOB 7/1/23, weight 11 lb.

Read more about Kathy

Hey there, everyone! I’m Kathy, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate fawn and white Chihuahua mix gal who absolutely loves when Foster Mom pets me. It’s understandable that I need all the reassurance of love that she gives me because my former owners abandoned me and my friend Kate in the backyard when they moved out. Once I arrived at my foster home, it didn’t take long for my heart to heal, and now I’m all wiggles and wags. Sometimes I can be a bit jealous of other dogs, but generally I get along well with the small dogs in my foster home, and I hit it off great with the resident cats and well as the grandkids when they come to visit.

I do best with lots of close family contact. Wouldn’t you know that cuddling in Foster Mom’s lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? My size makes me an ideal apartment dog, but I relish my daily exercise. Nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. I make it easy for her because I already walk well on a leash. Plus I’m kennel-trained.

Unfortunately, one of the consequences of having irresponsible owners the first time around is that I tested a light positive for heartworms. I’m currently undergoing the Moxi-Doxy treatment protocol, which HOPE will pay for until it is completed. Given my young age and good general health, I’m expected to make a complete recovery.

Now I’m ready to bring my happy and adoring self to bless my new forever family. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU! Although we’re available separately, Kate and I think it would be the cat’s meow if you were looking for a matched pair of fawn and white Chihuahuas and adopted both of us!

7. Sailor

Adult (5 years 11 months) · Male · Yellow Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Aldine

Meet Sailor!

Sailor is an approximately 6-year-old Lab mix with a big personality, a love of adventure, and an even bigger love for his people. He’s looking for a home where he can be someone’s loyal companion, adventure buddy, and couch potato—all rolled into one.

Sailor absolutely lights up when he realizes he’s going for a walk, a car ride, or an outdoor adventure. He gets adorably excited at first, then settles right down once he’s on leash or in the car. He would be an amazing match for someone who enjoys hiking, exploring, or spending time near the water.

Read more about Sailor

And water is definitely Sailor’s happy place. He LOVES swimming, playing fetch in a pool or lake, and enthusiastically “attacking” the spray from a garden hose. He does great on a pontoon boat and would probably take well to paddleboarding or canoeing with a little training. On trails, he has excellent recall off leash and loves getting out to explore.

For all his adventurous energy, Sailor is just as happy relaxing at home. He loves being near his people and curling up on the couch. He is crate trained and willingly goes into his kennel—often choosing to rest there on his own. He also rides calmly in the car, including on long trips.

Sailor has had three weeks of professional sleep-away training and knows a great list of commands, including heel, sit, stay, down, place, kennel, here, “leave me alone,” and more. He walks nicely on leash and is very food motivated. His all-time favorite treat is hard-boiled egg yolk; he can hear the little “tap tap” of an egg on the counter from practically anywhere in the house and will come running! He also has excellent house manners and does not chew things that aren’t his toys.

Sailor would thrive best as the only pet in the home. Cats are far too intriguing and, in his opinion, clearly meant to be chased. He has done well with some smaller dogs, particularly more submissive females. On walks, he is generally easy to redirect around other reactive dogs, although he may respond if another dog surprises or challenges him through a fence.

Most of all, Sailor loves being part of his family. He wants to be included, whether that means heading out for an adventure or hanging out together at home. He would do best in an adults-only household or a home with older teenagers.

Sailor’s current family loves him deeply and is heartbroken to be looking for a new home for him. Before they adopted him, Sailor had spent about two years living in a kennel. Sailor is comfortable with affection from adults—even big hugs—but he is uneasy about being touched by young children, likely because of something in his life before he joined the family.

Because their children understandably want to love on him, his family has made the difficult decision that Sailor deserves a home where everyone can feel comfortable and where he can truly thrive.

Sailor has already been through a lot, and he has so much love, fun, companionship, and adventure left to give. In the right home—one without young children and preferably without other pets—he is going to make someone an incredibly devoted best friend.

Please share and help us find Sailor the home he deserves.

Dante is PRECIOUS! And is loads of fun! He is the happiest little guy but does spook at some things that we are still trying to identify, welders are definitely scary but rightfully so. When he does spook just a little reassurance and the cutie is back.

Young · Female · Husky / Mixed (medium coat) · 12 mi from Aldine

Meet Mina
Mina may not be a Scout’s Honor dog, but we are honored to courtesy post her for our friends at Friends of BARC because this precious girl deserves the world.

At only a year and a half old, Mina has already faced challenges that most dogs never will. She has a neurological disability that gives her a wobbly little walk and some adorable quirks, but if you ask us, those things only make her even more special. They are part of what makes Mina, Mina.

Read more about Mina

This sweet girl doesn't know she's different. She wakes up every day ready to love, play, and enjoy life. She has the happiest spirit and the kindest heart. Mina absolutely adores other dogs and would love a playful canine sibling who can be her best friend. Watching her play is enough to make anyone smile.

Mina does have some special needs. She struggles with potty training and may never be fully potty trained, so she will need a patient, understanding home that can love her exactly as she is. Someone who sees past the challenges and sees the incredible dog underneath.

Because underneath it all is a young girl who just wants what every dog wants—a soft bed, a loving family, and someone to tell her she is perfect.

We know taking on a dog like Mina may not be for everyone. But we also know there is someone out there whose heart is big enough to fall in love with her wobbly walk, her silly quirks, and her endless capacity for love.

Mina deserves a chance. She deserves a foster home. She deserves a forever home. Most of all, she deserves someone who will love her for exactly who she is.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Mina, please let us know and we will connect you with the Friends of BARC team.

Sometimes the dogs who need a little extra help end up giving the most love in return!

11. Bella

Adult (5 years 3 months) · Female · Shepherd / Carolina Dog / Mixed (medium coat) · 12 mi from Aldine

Bella does not need everyone to love her. She needs one person willing to give her enough time to believe them.

Bella was adopted as a puppy, but somehow, at about 5 years old, she has already ended up at the pound twice. Whatever happened in between clearly left a mark. She is not the kind of dog who runs into a stranger’s arms five minutes after meeting them. She watches. She worries. She needs time to decide that you are safe.

And really, who could blame her?

When Bella was surrendered the last time, she spent her days watching every door and every person who passed, searching for the people she knew. They did not come back.

Read more about Bella

Now she is safe with Scout’s Honor, but she is living in boarding while we look for the right foster or forever home. She is about 5 years old and 55 pounds, a beautiful Shepherd mix with those wonderfully expressive ears and the intelligence and loyalty that come with them.

Bella is gentle, sensitive, and cautious. New people and unfamiliar situations can scare her at first, so she needs someone who understands that trust is not something you demand from a dog like Bella. You earn it. Quietly. Consistently. Without rushing her.

And then you get to see the real Bella.

Once she realizes she is safe, the fear begins to soften and her sweet, loving personality comes through. That is the reward with dogs like her: you know the affection is real because she chose to give it to you.

Bella is not looking for a chaotic household or someone expecting instant perfection. A calmer home without very young children would likely suit her best, and she needs a person who can give her structure, patience, and the time to settle in at her own pace.

The good news is that Bella does not need some extraordinary dog expert to save her. She needs someone dependable. Someone who will not take her hesitation personally. Someone who understands that a scared dog is not a broken dog.

She has already been uprooted enough.

What could change Bella’s life now is actually very simple: one home where she is allowed to exhale, one person who keeps showing up, and enough time for her to learn that this time, nobody is leaving.

If you are the kind of person who believes the dogs who take a little longer are worth the wait, Bella may be waiting for you.

Scout’s Honor covers all expenses associated with fostering as needed.

Young (1 year 3 months) · Female · Boxer / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Aldine

Meet Suki! One look into those big, soulful eyes and a few happy tail wags from her shelter kennel, and we were completely smitten.

When we first met Suki, she was happy to come up to us, but the moment we clipped on a leash, she froze. So, like the princess she is, we carried her over to our dog temperament testing area. And honestly? She made herself right at home!

To no surprise, Suki was wonderful with every dog she met. She was ready to play, make friends, and show off her fun personality. In fact, her shelter name was Rockstar because she was the rockstar of her playgroup—and we can absolutely see why!

Read more about Suki

Suki is around a year old, possibly even younger, and still has all that adorable puppy energy. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and believes that hugs are one of life’s greatest gifts. If you’re looking for a dog who will shower you with love, Suki is your girl.

She absolutely adores other dogs and would love a playful canine companion to romp around with. Whether she’s making new friends or snuggling up for attention, Suki’s joyful spirit shines through in everything she does.

Now all this sweet girl needs is a foster or forever family to give her the love she deserves. Could that be you?

Young · Female · English Setter / Spaniel / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Aldine

Sweet Jasmine’s story is one we wish we didn’t hear so often. She found herself at Harris County Pets and landed on the long-stay list, where time was running out.

We spotted her during a shelter pull, but with so many lives to save and not enough hours in the day, we had to leave without meeting her. We couldn’t stop thinking about Jasmine, so first thing Sunday morning, we went back.

We hoped she’d be as wonderful as we imagined. To be sure, we introduced her to another dog we planned to save, and Jasmine passed with flying colors. No surprise there!

Read more about Jasmine

Jasmine is a people girl through and through. Her favorite place is as close to you as possible, preferably curled up in your lap, soaking in all the love and attention. She has a gentle, affectionate nature that makes it easy to fall for her.

Jasmine is dog-friendly and enjoys playtime, including with younger, high-energy dogs. She also loves cuddles and being close to her people. With her sweet, easygoing personality, she could be a wonderful fit for just about any loving home.

She’s settling in beautifully, discovering the safety and kindness she deserves. Now she just needs a foster or forever family to make her happy ending complete.

What’s clear is that they leaned on each other, and now Ruby is ready for a loving person of her own.

Adult · Female · Hound / Shepherd / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Aldine

Meet Selma—the big, goofy girl who just wants to be close to you.

Formerly known as Indara at Harris County Pets, Selma is beginning a new chapter with Scout’s Honor. She shared a kennel with our sweet Patty and showed us what a kind, loving girl she is.

The shelter estimates Selma is around 6 years old, though we think she may be a little younger. Whatever her age, she has plenty of love to give—and she’d make a wonderful couch buddy. Selma may be a big girl, but her favorite place is right beside her person.

Read more about Selma

She can be a little unsure at first and may need a moment to take in a new situation. With patient guidance and a little reassurance, her loving, goofy personality shines through. Selma is dog-friendly and could enjoy a canine companion; she likes a little time to figure out a new dog’s play style before she settles in.

Selma deserves a home where she can feel safe, loved, and close to her people. Could you be the one to give this sweet girl her fresh start? Please consider fostering or adopting her.

Meet Mr. Jonas!

Just look at that adorable underbite!

It was impossible not to fall in love with this handsome boy the moment we saw him at the shelter. Jonas had found himself dangerously close to euthanasia, but one look at that sweet face and we knew we had to give him a chance.

Jonas is estimated to be around 1 year old and weighs about 65 pounds. He’s everything you could want in a young dog—happy, playful, affectionate, and full of life! This goofy guy loves his people and absolutely enjoys spending time with his doggy friends too. While he doesn’t need another dog in the home, he would certainly love a canine sibling or regular playdates with furry friends.

Beyond his good looks and charming personality, Jonas is a healthy boy! He is heartworm negative and will be getting neutered soon. Most of all, Jonas is ready for a family of his own—a place where he can finally feel safe, loved, and cherished.

Whether you’re looking to foster or adopt, Jonas would love the opportunity to show you just how special he is. Please consider opening your heart and home to this sweet boy. We promise that underbite will make you smile every single day

Young (2 years 4 months) · Male · Rat Terrier / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Aldine

Meet Taz!

Don’t let his size fool you—Taz has enough personality packed into his little body for a dog twice his size! This handsome terrier mix was pulled from Harris County alongside his kennel buddy, Mac, during our recent shelter rescue mission, and we’re so glad he’s finally getting his chance to shine.

At around 2 years old, Taz is the perfect mix of fun and laid-back. He’s a sweet little guy who carries himself like a big dog, but deep down he just wants to be loved and included in all of life’s adventures. Whether it’s hanging out on the couch, going for a walk, or simply being your sidekick, Taz is happy just being part of the family.

So far, Taz has shown us that he’s a pretty chill dude with a heart of gold. He’s the kind of dog who will quietly steal your heart and become your best friend before you even realize it.

Now all this little guy needs is a foster or forever home where he can be spoiled the way he deserves.

Could Taz be your new best friend? Fill out an application to foster or adopt and give this sweet boy the happy ending he’s been waiting for!

20. Lisa

Young (2 years 2 months) · Female · English Setter / Great Pyrenees / Mixed (long coat) · 12 mi from Aldine

Hello beautiful -- Introducing Lisa!

Lisa is one of the sweet girls from our shelter pull this weekend. She was surrendered by her owner to Harris County, though we don’t know the reason why. We do know one thing though…this mama has clearly had puppies recently, but sadly they were not turned in with her.

Read more about Lisa

Even though Lisa has only been with us a short time, she has already shown us just how gentle, calm, and loving she is. She’s the kind of dog who just melts into you. Lisa gets along well with other dogs and so far seems more like a laid back girl than a rough-and-tumble player, but as she settles in and gets more comfortable, we are already seeing her personality bloom. Watching her start wagging her tail and open up has been so special

We would absolutely love to get Lisa into a foster home soon so she can finally relax and know what it feels like to be truly loved. If this sweet mama sounds like your kind of girl, please head to www.scoutshonor.org and fill out a foster application today!

Adopting a dog in Aldine

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
