Story
This is Persia. And boy does she deserve an amazing home for her final years. Her story is heartbreaking! Persia was adopted from the spca as a pup by a guy who should not have had a dog. He suffered from anger issues as well as depression. This poor girl has been through a lot. But he kept her until he was recently moving when he turned her into a high kill shelter in Houston.  Fortunately, when his sister found out she rushed to get her, knowing she could not keep her but also that Persia deserved better. Persia is 13 years old, has several tricks. She is potty trained to the point that even once you get outside, she will not go until you tell her to. Persia loves treats!!! And she deserves lots of love and a whole lot of happiness and fun. She gets along with other dogs and even cats. As she has gotten older little kids seem to make her nervous, so probably a no kids or older kid home would be best. If interested please email us at  info@scoutshonor.org  and we will connect you with Persia’s aunt.

Story
Hi there! I'm Petey, a sweet cuddly pup who just wants to give you all the love! When you first meet me, I can be super shy, but I warm up quickly! I love humans especially when they pet and sit with me! I have the best time playing with my foster fur sister; she has SO many toys and she shares them all with me. My foster mom tries to make sure I get the really strong, durable ones! I'm potty trained for the most part but because I'm scared to go outside, I sometimes have accidents inside the house. It's funny to watch my foster mom try to get me out into the backyard just so I can go. But I know I'll get there eventually...it's just a big world out there! Before coming to this foster home, I had no idea what treats were, so I'm still learning to figure out which ones I like and which ones I don't. You'd be surprise that I'm not a fan of peanut butter treats! But feel free to load me up with any of the beef or sausage ones. I love, LOVE to eat. It's probably because I'm still a growing boy. I also have never been on a leash before and being near cars scare me, so my foster mom takes me to parks instead! I love being out there and would make for an excellent running buddy. I've won over all of my foster mom's friends...maybe it's my beautiful curls, or my calm demeanor, or my playful nature with toys...whatever, the case is, I promise you'll love me, too! Petey is a Male Border Collie/Lab Mix that we estimate to be born around 7/1/2023 and weighs 38.3 lbs.

Story
Tip: 3 yr Male BC/Aussie Activity Level: Sports Companion/Active Companion Diet: Instinct Duck & Pea/Red Meat Raw & Veggies Special Talent: Sit Pretty w Front Paw Balance; Clicker Trained/Responsive/Whistle Responsive Training: Heavy Socialization/Positive Boundaries Experienced Dog/BC Owner Potentials Tip is a striking boy that is more private dog with strangers and affection. Once he feels comfortable he will open up his trust and really enjoy his time with his people and he is super smart. He is ready to bound outside for fun times or leash activities, needs lots of room to run and play with a 6 foot wooden fence, human break during a work day. He can be overly stimulated using his herding mouth but tricks and redirection help this young man know the direction his human is asking for. He does focus on a variety of balls as he runs and explores things, actually easy on the leash but strong if something catches his interest and totally excited when we run and play in a few hill hike/bike trails enjoying commands for jogging as well. Tip is more private about his comfort level for love/petting and is working on this as he does enjoy our fun hugs and makes eye contact. Tip is looking for an experienced dog person who understands the sensitivities of the Border Collie and may not be suitable for off leash. You see his litter came to my rescue July 4th 2014 at 4 months of age which is a prime life experience for any dog. Tip overcame a lot of fears and had some imprinting from the owner reaching/grabbing all the 8 puppies running free on her 3 acres in Louisiana. He is still learning about strangers and how they should approach him for the best positive experience. He is not suitable for cats and children/grandchildren as he is scared of people with fast movements and can fear bark it’s just not a fit for him. I do feel he would benefit from another dog from in the home that would be his activity level and enjoy fun BC/Aussie play and or another close knit group of dog friends he can enjoy weekly play time with; crates nicely with a break during a work day, a 6 foot fence is required, and follow his diet as his colon is super sensitive and all of his training/diet have been laid out for the next journey in his life! If an out of area applicant would be a potential match it is required they come to Houston to meet Tip staying a few days to further the matching process. Application required, home visit required, donation $325.

Story
BIOS ARE BEING UPDATED FOR THIS HIGH ENERGY UNIQUE 21 MONTH PUP PLEASE INQUIRY WITHIN: Brie : Weight 30 lbs. Were you looking for a pup that can be your entire world and trust life through your direction on the leash? That is what Brie is looking for: bright eyed playful, cuddly bouncy petite girl about 13 inches-with a soft smile and loads of charm desiring full trust in people as she aims to please is available for Foster to Adopt or Adoptive Home. She is a special treasure that was not going to allow previous fears on the leash and being confused with sounds and movements hold her back from a real life-she wants more than just playing in the yard and she deserves it! Brie really LOVES balls and toys; strong desire to retrieve/give and run and herd her pack mates and that happy bark when doing so; finds so much freedom in swimming and turned into a fish like her siblings her 2nd trip to a park (in her video) at the quieter hours; jump on the couch with you and enjoy a fun chat and lap love; loves to ride in the car. Her leash life lessons have been stunted from fears in early puppy stages and her life before rescue amplifying her sound sensitivity and reaction to movements. Remember she is a herder these traits are so true for the breed. For me I love to earn undivided trust through the leash and that is what Brie is getting and she is gaining a confident foundation to her lessons. Example of a lesson: Brie can now start her walk right out my door (unless too much activity then we drive), using the clicker to mark positive behavior and calm she also does down and recall other tricks on the leash to keep the focus. If there is activity in front of us we may cross the street before-hand and or make a U-turn in a drive way or push on through it doing tricks keeping a steady calm nature for Brie and identify what we see and move on so as not to fixate on fear of unknown variables. Example: on a walk there was a loose Schnauzer out front of its house, she loves dogs of course, and I went over with her about ringing the doorbell for the puppy and it’s mommy may talk to us, she was very calm and there were no other outside factors at that time all very happy-as we moved along our walk two people came around a corner a bit unexpected she got scared but worked with me and the command is ‘done’. It’s all about the trust down the leash for Brie. 2/9 Example: Quiet trail walk at Sugarland Memorial Park: Brie did great with the big lawn mowers doing tricks for focus and calm, saw a jogger fear barked as he was ‘coming at us’ then she wanted to herd him!, did great with me talking to someone from a distance and let me know she was ready to move on. I am highly observant of our environment to anticipate anything necessary creating a positive and safe environment. Brie can handle activity on the street and it’s important for her to have this but if it’s too much at once, or right in front of her she feels threatened possibly boxed it like it’s coming ‘at her’, progressing daily with this, and cars used to scare her so much just the vibration she was in total fear of being injured. She is looking for someone who works from home that has the time to dedicate to more lessons for a healthy living; an approved trainer maybe needed to continue this work in her environment please be aware of the commitment you are making to her. Fortunate for Brie and her littermates I was able make a full commitment at 11 weeks of age building a foundation allowing Brie to find her true self. Brie and her sister did move from a foster to my rescue/training house at 4 months of age. This was an accidental litter Border Collie mom and Aussie dad surrendered to rescue. Coming from a rural raising with limited human interaction things in the world are still new and take time to learn and trust. With my desire to build a strong physical foundation and the lack of proper nutrition she has been on a raw meat/fresh veggies diet along and quality kibble. An ideal home for her would have some quiet between neighbors; fence is mandatory and no apartments or condos; children 10 and up only as this can be too intense to this Border Collie; a dedicated human partner to enjoy life with; having her human and pup pack to bond with. Brie’s adoption donation is $275. There is an application to adopt and home visit where applicable. She is crate/house trained; fully vetted/chipped/on preventative, clicker and enjoys whistle training. ******I believe you have to see the world as a dog does and thus training began at home on all the new and unknown variables through identification, clicker and positive food motivated exercises; learning redirection to sounds and stimuli in the yard/home and life on the leash; coached on dog interactions to strengthen the leadership skills; working through all fears in the home and on the leash using the clicker method to achieve a healthy action/reaction; using the curious nature to feel positive at the vets office.********
