Tripod? More like Triumphant. Meet Axel!

At just 4 years old and 53 pounds, Axel has already overcome more than most dogs ever should. After being found with a severe injury, he lost one of his front legs—but he never lost his spirit.

✨ Axel's perfect family will love that he's:
🐶 Dog-friendly
🏡 Potty trained & crate trained
💙 Affectionate, loyal, and happiest by your side
🎾 Playful, resilient, and full of life

Axel doesn't know he's different. He only knows he's ready to love his forever family with his whole heart.

Looking for a dog who will absolutely adore you? Meet Mikka!

At 3 years old and 40 pounds, Mikka is a spunky Border Collie mix with a heart full of love for her people. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who wants to be by your side, she's your girl.

Mikka's favorite things:
🎾 Playing fetch with her favorite ball
🚗 Going for car rides
🐕 Long walks
❤️ Spending time with her humans

Like any good Border Collie mix, Mikka is incredibly smart and eager to learn. She already knows:
✔️ Sit
✔️ Down
✔️ Shake
✔️ Wait (for meals and before leaving her crate)
✔️ Crate up

Mikka would do best in a home where she can truly shine:
🏡 As the only dog (she prefers having her people all to herself)
💪 With an active family who enjoys walks and playtime
👧 With older, dog-savvy kids (she can be nervous around young children and their quick movements)

Mikka is dog-selective due to her unknown past, but she's wonderfully well-mannered. She isn't reactive on walks as long as other dogs respect her space, making outings together calm and enjoyable.

Most of all, Mikka is a gentle, affectionate girl who loves people with her whole heart. She's ready to give her future family endless love, loyalty, and plenty of hugs. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will always be happy to see you, Mikka is waiting to meet you.

Hi, my name is Mermaid, and I am a 5 1/2 year-old, 60 lbs., American Staffordshire Terrier mix. I was saved by my foster mom from a local kill shelter, but now I need to find my forever home! I get along with other dogs, but I prefer male dogs. I’ve never met a kid or adult that I didn’t like, I will take all the attention i can get. I am an energetic, healthy girl! I enjoy going on walks, playing in the backyard, I am crate trained, I know sit and stay commands, but my foster mom says I tend to forget if I get too excited.

Meet Johnny, a loving, playful boy who has learned his basic commands while awaiting for his forever home. Johnny is athletic, energetic, and full of love, and he is ready to bring fun, adventure, and plenty of cuddles into your life. Johnny was found on a rainy day as a malnourished puppy near a busy road. Thankfully, he was rescued and nurtured back to health, and now he’s a strong, playful boy ready to bring joy to a loving family. Currently, Johnny is spending too much time in a kennel while his foster parent works long hours. He’s eager for a home where he can thrive, ideally with an active mom or dad, or perhaps some playful siblings to keep him company. Johnny is kennel trained and has mastered using the doggie door for potty breaks. He loves to play with toys, go on walks and running around in the yard. Johnny has gone through training and has learned basic commands and how to walk well on a leash. He is a very smart boy eager to please. If you think you could be the perfect match for this lovable boy, please apply at www.htxdogrescue.org.
