My perfect day starts with an epic game of fetch in the backyard. When we are not playing fetch, I love to start a game of "catch me if you can," so be prepared to keep up with my zoomies! After that, it's time to find some water. Whether it's a splash pad, kiddie pool, or even the backyard hose, I absolutely love splashing around and having fun in the water. Seriously -- I could play in the water all day. To wrap up the day, I'd love a long walk before settling in beside you for some well-earned cuddle time.

My Perfect Match

Energy Level: High! I need lots of daily exercise, playtime, and mental enrichment to keep me happy.

Home Preference: A home with a securely fenced yard is highly recommended so I can safely run, play, and burn off my energy.

People & Pets: Because I'm an enthusiastic young dog, I'd do best with active owners and older children who can enjoy my playful style. I have a strong instinct to chase cats, so I'll need a feline-free home. If you already have a dog, great, I'd love to meet them first to make sure we're a good playtime match!

Training: I'm already house-trained and crate-trained! I'm a smart boy who enjoys learning and would love to enroll in obedience class to polish up my manners.

If you're ready for a life filled with outdoor adventures, endless games of fetch, joyful water play, and lots of unconditional love, I'd love to meet you.

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

To apply online:http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. Submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt from us but it initiates contact with us and gets the process started.

If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site that Sebastian will be this weekend, email us at lisagilchrist16@gmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.

He's just a puppy and can get into a lot of trouble so you'll need to be willing to give him lots of gentle guidance, so he can learn all those big dog things, like how to behave in a house, what a crate is for, how to walk on a leash without pulling, and all those verbal commands every dog should know. He may even treat people with rough play or decide that a new pair of shoes or a table leg would make a great chew toy, so a lot of appropriate toys should be in his future. The good news is that with the right training and LOTS of love, he'll be the best addition to your family ever and your best bud.

If you are interested in him, please send an email to SCP! Applications can be found on our website at secondchancepets.org under the "Forms" tab. Please complete and return to SCP for review! All dogs typically show on Saturdays from 11 AM to 2 PM at the Petco in Clear Lake at 2410 Bay Area Blvd near Space Center. Since all our dogs are in foster homes, an individual dog may not be at our weekly Adoption Event due to conflict with a foster's schedule. If you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please send an email to scpdogworld@gmail.com so that the Dog Coordinator can let you know if the dog will be at the Saturday Adoption Event at Petco. If you just want to meet some great dogs looking for their forever home, please come visit with us on Saturday!

The adopter for this dog must reside in the immediate Houston/Galveston area and be at least 25 years old. A home visit may be required prior to this dog going to any home.

The adoption fee for a dog is $210 (or $270 for puppies). All dogs are microchipped, on heartworm protection, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed and treated for fleas.

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!

If you are interested in her, please send an email with a completed application to SCP. Applications can be found on our website at secondchancepets.org under the "Forms" tab. Please complete and return to us for review and to set up a meet and greet!

Stormi will need an active family and/or doggy playmate. She's also looking for a loving home with a yard big enough that she can run and play and that is secured with a 6ft wooden fence and is not near a busy street.

With patience and care, he began to come back to life. The frightened dog we first met became a joyful, affectionate boy who loves to play. Then, after slipping away during a veterinary trip, Lucius spent 29 days missing. We never stopped searching, and we were overjoyed when we found him and brought him home.

Now Lucius is ready to make up for lost time. He’s full of life and energy, loves to play ball, and enjoys playing with other dogs. Those eyes may break your heart, but his happy, bouncing spirit will win it right back.

Lucius is looking for a foster who can welcome his playful energy and give him the love he has always deserved. Scout’s Honor Rescue can cover all fostering expenses as needed.

Could you be part of Lucius’s next chapter? Visit scoutshonor.org or apply to foster Lucius.

Tito was known as Rocky at Harris County, but without the amazing support from Tito’s Vodka, we may not have been able to pull him. Tito’s played a huge part in helping us reach our goal for our shelter pull, and we felt it was only right to name one of these deserving dogs after them! Tito came into the shelter as an owner surrender, though the reason remains unknown. What we do know is that he is in great shape, absolutely adores people, and deserves a second chance at the life he’s always deserved. Now, he’s safe with us forever. This handsome boy is incredibly sweet, loving, and ready to find his place again. Tito gets along wonderfully with other dogs and loves to play, making him the perfect addition to just about any home! We are currently looking for a foster for this special guy. Scout’s Honor covers all medical care and provides supplies — you just provide the love.

If you’re interested in adopting Tito, please visit www.scoutshonor.org and fill out an application!

Moo Deng loves playing ball more than just about anything in the world. The good news is that she is not one of those Labrador types who will make you throw it until your shoulder requires medical attention. She plays hard, has a blast, and then is perfectly content to clock out and resume her other favorite activity: hanging out with her people.

She likes other dogs, too, and has several friends she gets to play with at boarding. Unfortunately, because she is in boarding, those playdates are sporadic. There are only so many opportunities for her to get out, play, and simply enjoy being a dog.

And Moo Deng really enjoys being a dog.

She is a rough-and-tumble player, so she would likely love a canine friend who appreciates the same kind of enthusiastic play and can comfortably match her style. She is not looking for a delicate little wallflower. Think less afternoon tea, more friendly backyard wrestling match followed by a mutual collapse on the floor.

That is also why we would love to get her into a foster home. Boarding keeps her safe, but it cannot give her the regular walks, ball games, playtime, routine, human companionship, and couch lounging that a home can.

Her wish list is pretty reasonable: a ball, some room to play, people who think her ridiculous little body is as fabulous as we do, and perhaps a dog buddy who can appreciate a good romp.

Scout’s Honor covers all expenses associated with fostering as needed. You provide the home and a little of your time. Moo Deng will handle the entertainment.

Apply to foster or adopt Miss Moo Deng at www.scoutshonor.org.

Please share her, too. Somewhere out there is someone whose life is missing a short, wide, ball-loving house hippo. We just need to find them.

We met her during one of our shelter pulls. Her kennel sat right beside the small yards where we were evaluating dogs all day, which meant constant barking, movement, strangers, and dogs coming and going. Hope never made a fuss. She simply watched us, wagged her tail, and waited patiently for someone to come over. When we did, she pressed herself against the kennel gate so hard trying to get closer that her sweet little face practically smooshed through the bars.

That calm, loving nature has only become more obvious with time.

Hope is incredibly smart, knows basic commands, listens well, and has a wonderfully patient temperament. She loves people, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and carries herself with the kind of steady confidence that makes her easy to have around.

And now, she is healthy, spayed, at a good weight, and happy.

The dog we first met has blossomed.

Hope no longer looks like a dog who has been used up by life. She looks like a dog who is ready to live it.

She enjoys affection, walks, companionship, and being included. She is sweet without being frantic, playful without being wild, and affectionate without demanding every second of your attention. She is simply a really lovely dog.

Yes, Hope is a bully mix, and we know those dogs are often overlooked. But anyone who spends time with her quickly sees what the label misses: she is calm, intelligent, social, patient, and deeply loving.

She has already done the hard part. She survived, healed, gained weight, got healthy, and learned that life can be good.

Now she needs the part that matters most: a foster or forever home where she can finally belong.

Scout’s Honor covers all expenses associated with fostering as needed. If you have been considering fostering or adopting, Hope is ready.

It is time for Mama Hope to stop being everybody’s mama and finally be somebody’s baby.

Fletch is estimated to be around 2 years old, but honestly he could easily be closer to 1 because this boy acts just like a puppy. He’s goofy, energetic, playful, and absolutely full of life. Fletch definitely thrives with exercise, structure, and having rules in place. Truthfully, he just doesn’t seem like he was ever taught much before now.

What he does know is how to love. Fletch loves every single person he meets and is always ready to make new dog friends too. He’s the kind of dog that will keep you laughing daily with his silly personality and puppy antics. We know once he’s getting consistent exercise, has structure, this boy is going to settle into being such an awesome companion.
Fletch is doing great in boarding, but we would LOVE to get a foster lined up for him as we head into week two. Somehow he hasn’t come down with any shelter crud, and we are crossing our fingers it stays that way!

Please consider fostering or adopting this handsome goofball. We know his person is out there somewhere

Apply at www.scoutshonor.org to foster or adopt Fletch!

During our shelter pull, we noticed a note on her kennel card that had incorrect information on it. Of course, we had to see for ourselves — and Daphne completely proved that note wrong. She was absolutely PERFECT during her temp test. No aggression whatsoever, just a happy-go-lucky girl eager to make friends with every dog she met.

We think Daphne is a Collie/Shepherd mix and she’s around 2 years old, maybe even younger. She is incredibly sweet, eager to please, and has such a fun personality. Daphne is currently in boarding, but we would love nothing more than to get this sweet girl into a foster home where she can finally relax and feel loved

Please consider adopting Daphne and giving her the second chance she deserves - visit www.scoutshonor.org for more information.

We estimate Tommy to be around 3-4 years old, but honestly he could easily be younger with how playful and energetic he is! He's the perfect mix of goofy, loving and athletic.

If you've been looking for a fun, active dog to add to your life, Tommy is your perfect match. We would absolutely love to get this handsome boy into a foster home soon! Please consider fostering or adopting Tommy. Visit www.scoutshonor.org to fill out an application today.

Sweet as sugar. Affectionate. Playful. Happy. He loves every dog he meets and lights up when he gets the chance to play. The scared, painfully thin dog we met at the shelter is beginning to understand that people can be kind, food will keep coming, and he doesn’t have to be afraid anymore.

Snoopy is only about 2 years old, a beautiful black-and-white pointer mix who should eventually weigh around 40–50 pounds.

He has already survived the hardest part.

Now he needs someone to give him the life he was supposed to have all along.

A home. A soft bed. Another dog to play with. Someone to love him ridiculously.

Snoopy needs a foster or forever home, and we cannot think of a dog more deserving.

Please don’t just scroll past him. Help us finish his rescue.

Apply to foster or adopt at www.scoutshonor.org.

NOTES: Banu is a gentle giant, super playful, gets along with all other dogs in a mutual space. Will do best with an XX large male. She loves her people, A/C and soft bed just as much as she loves being outside. She is great with respectful children of all ages. Banu is leash trained, and does well in public. She is vaccinated, spayed, up to date on monthly flea/tick prevention and is on Proheart12 and is heartworm NEGATIVE.

Banu is going to require an experienced handler!
