17. Adam

Adult (1 year) · Male · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed · 11 mi from The Woodlands

Meet Adam: The 11-Month-Old Grandpa You Didn't Know You Needed. ❤️

Don't let his age fool you—at just 11 months old, Adam has the soul of a wise old gentleman. While other young dogs are busy redecorating your house with shredded pillows, Adam is over here wondering if it's coffee time yet.

Every morning, you'll find him patiently waiting for his favorite ritual: a little dollop of whipped cream with your coffee. It's the highlight of his day (well...that and being with his people).

Read more about Adam

Adam is completely potty trained and, honestly, he's kind of an overachiever. He doesn't chew furniture, destroy toys, bark just to hear himself talk, or have a mean bone in his body. No food aggression, no toy guarding, no dog aggression—he simply wants everyone to get along.

He's a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and you'll have a loyal best friend for life. Once you're in his circle, you're there forever.

At his foster home, Adam is everyone's favorite teammate. He takes his cues from the other dogs, plays beautifully with the pack, and has impeccable manners. He's also wonderful with small children, making him the kind of dog who fits naturally into family life.

If you've been searching for that once-in-a-lifetime dog—the one who's equal parts gentle, loyal, sweet, and ridiculously easy—Adam might just be your guy.

His only real requirement? Please don't forget the whipped cream.

20. Angel Marie

Adult (7 years 11 months) · Female · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 8 mi from The Woodlands

Hey there! I’m Angel Marie, and I wanted to share a bit about myself now that I’ve settled into my foster home. Looking for a quirky girl? Winning! I love fast walks sprinkled with sniff stops and when we get home I enjoy celebratory play bows and spins because it just felt so good to get out in the fresh air and stretch my fluffy legs. During the day I can often be found napping on my back with all four legs in the air because I'm a gal who knows the art of relaxation. Car rides are a piece of cake and if you’re going somewhere – errands, to the park, coffee drive thru, whatever – then I want to go with you. Nail clippings are a cinch and I enjoy being brushed except am a little particular about my tail. Who isn’t? When new humans come over, I greet them with a gently wagging tail, walk right up to my new friend and wait for pets, but am not pushy. After a good meal, I like to give myself a hearty chin rub on my bed (or maybe yours?!? Ha!) and then flip over on my back and wiggle around in contentment. I love to sleep on the bed at night with my person and don’t hog the bed (much). Don’t be fooled by my age. Although technically a senior, I have a perfect balance of hanging out and GO energy. Want to play? Me, too! Want to hang out and watch TV or take a nap? Me, too! My foster mom thinks I’m like Mary Poppins – practically perfect in every way.

22. Lucas

Young (2 years 3 months) · Male · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 8 mi from The Woodlands

Lucas is a sweet young adult Pyr who can be a little timid at first, but once he warms up, is incredibly loving and thrives on praise. This charming boy frequently throws the famous "Pyr Paw" to ask for extra pets and affection. He loves playing with other dogs, chewing on bones, and splitting his relaxation time between the couch and his outdoor dog bed. Lucas adapts quickly to household routines, uses the dog door with ease, and will alert you to strangers without barking excessively. He tolerates grooming well, and his low-maintenance coat is easy to keep looking its best, making him a wonderful companion for a lucky person or family.

23. Coco

Young (9 months) · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 11 mi from The Woodlands

Coco is an approximately five-month-old bundle of energy and love. She adores playing with larger dogs and has never met a stranger—greeting everyone she encounters with happy kisses. Coco is also a total cuddle bug who loves to be held like a baby and enjoys snuggling close with her human and canine foster siblings.

As a young puppy, she is still learning the ins and outs of home life and remains curious about the world around her. She enjoys lounging on the couch, sleeping in bed with her foster family, and does great on car rides. Coco is also making excellent progress with potty training.

Read more about Coco

Coco would thrive in a home with children and other dogs, but she would also do well with a single adult who is ready to give her the love and attention she craves. More than anything, Coco wants to belong—she is happiest when she’s part of a family and surrounded by love.

Adopting a large dog in The Woodlands

Large dogs need room to stretch out and plenty of exercise: at least one good walk a day, and a secure yard is a bonus. Check your lease too, as some landlords limit the size or breed of dog.

Start training from day one. A big dog who walks nicely on a leash and doesn't jump up is a pleasure to live with, and many rescues can recommend a local trainer.
