About Babe

OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS: We do allow out-of-state adoptions for dogs, however, the adopter MUST come to Houston to get the dog and take the dog home with them. We do not allow our dogs to be shipped. Also, our puppies can only be adopted to the immediate Houston vicinity as it takes 4 months to get them completely vetted at our vet here in Houston. We will not allow our dogs/puppies to be adopted out of the area without being spayed/neutered. We spay/neuter puppies at 4 months old. Hello Potential Adopter, Babe is a wonderful dog, so we are not surprised that she has been getting a lot of attention. So we wanted to try and paint a better picture of her personality and needs. Babe has been our foster for about 6 weeks, and every day she comes out of her shell a bit more with us. In that time, she has grown from a shy dog who never left her kennel, to a sweet companion who loves to be near her people. She is still quite timid around new people, and it will take her some time to warm up. While she likes to hang out near us, she is not much of a cuddler. We have tried to get her to sit with us on the bed or couch, and she prefers to be on the floor. She will come over to you for some affection; she loves belly pets and giving her paw for you to hold. She enjoys walks and running around outside in a fenced in yard. She gets along well with other dogs, but just as with people, she takes a little while to warm up. She also doesn't really play with other dogs. Mostly she follows our dog around and plays with toys nearby, but she does enjoy their companionship and may do better in a home with another dog. She is a flight risk in that if she gets spooked or sees a cat/squirrel/etc, she will try to run away, and won't come back if you chase her. She does have some separation anxiety. We leave her in a kennel when we leave, and she whines and digs at the kennel bottom. She will eventually settle down but the more noises she hears, the more she reacts. She does better when there is another dog in the same room. She is high heartworm positive, and K-9 has her on a treatment plan. Babe is spayed female born around 3/1/2014 and 35 lbs. We believe she is a Novia Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Mix PUPPIES: Young puppies that have not had their second round of puppy shots will not be at the Adoption Center for our weekend adoption events. If you are interested in adopting a puppy, please fill out an application on our website http://www.k-9angelsrescue.org/k9_angels_rescue_adoption_process.html. If your application is approved, a meeting can be arranged. Also, we only adopt young puppies locally due to the 4 month time frame it takes to get them fully vetted and altered. SPAY/NEUTER: As we believe proper healthcare of one's pet is a requirement of good ownership K-9 Angels Rescue only adopts out dogs that have been fully vetted. If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. NOTE: All dogs are officially the property of K-9 Angels Rescue until they are altered by our veterinarian. Please LIKE and share our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/k9angelsrescue.
