Kid-Friendly Dogs for Adoption in Sugar Land, TX: 30 Dogs Good with Children

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!

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.

My social life: My foster brother Jax and I are tug-of-war besties, and we could play all day. I'd probably be happiest in a home with another playful pup to wrestle with. I also met some neighbor kids and was a total gentleman!

Still working on: Leash walking. The world is just SO exciting, and I'm learning that we don't have to sniff all of it at once. A patient human and some practice will help me get there.

If you want a goofy, loving sidekick who will make you laugh, follow you everywhere, and keep your couch warm, I'm your guy.

Ask about adopting Samu today!

I am really a lover-boy at heart. I am a world champion at wiggling my whole body with excitement. I'll show you the best of my wiggling abilities every single time you walk through the door and say hello to me again! I also show off my wiggling to new friends; did I mention I love meeting new people?

I would really love to be in a home with another dog. I really feel safe and comforted in the presence of a good friend, and possibly future sibling! I also love kids too, so if you have little ones in the family, I am very patient and promise I would be a fantastic brother to them. I have not spent too much time around kitty cats, but I don't have much of a prey drive. I'll let you know soon if I think I'd get along with your kitties.

I am fully house-trained and crate-trained - my crate is my safe and cozy space and I love to go in there to relax. I do need some guidance when walking on a leash, but I don't pull whatsoever!!

Thanks for reading about me so far, and I promise I will be back on here soon with more info for you! I hope I get to meet you and have a chance to show you some of my world class wiggles. If you have any questions so far, please reach out and ask to get in touch with my paw-sitively amazing foster, Riley.

Fur-real though, you're paw-some for taking the time to learn about me! I'm staying paw-sitive and hoping we can be friends fur-ever! HAVE A BOXER-RIFIC DAY!

MORE DETAILS COMING SOON! UNTIL THEN PLEASE CHECK OUT MY FRIENDS

We transport our dogs up North and out of Texas. We use trusted transport partners to safely deliver them to their families.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.
