About Warner

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. Good day! My name is Warner and I'm a distinguished older gentleman that found myself in quite the predicament. Whoever had me before didn't give me proper care. Because of this, I came into the shelter with a hernia, skin infection, gum infection, ear infection, eye infection... basically everything that costs a whole lot of money to fix. Lucky for me, the foster coordinator for K-9 Angels happened to be in the shelter that day, otherwise I don't know what would've happened! It's been a long road that involved several surgeries, but here I am 8 years old, freshly groomed, and feeling like a young pup again! I get along great with all other dogs from Pit Bull to Pekingese, I'm not playful and would do best with other dogs that don't expect me to run around with them. I've quite grown out of the playful 'puppy phase'. Speaking of puppies, you know what's great about adopting an older dog? No potty training or chewing! I also don't jump around because, honestly, it's so immature and I have old bones to preserve. Whether it's on a new house guest, on a couch, on a bed, or in the bath, if you want me there, you'll have to lift me. I'd be perfectly happy to lay around with you all day and I don't require much in the way of exercise. I am going to need a very special kind of family. Because I lacked proper care for so long, my skin infection, eye infection, and ear infections have required me to be on a bunch of medicine. Everything is cleared up now, but it is possible that I may have to be on some of these medications for the rest of my life. Nothing major - maybe some eye drops or pills. I've been taking them for a while now and won't give you much trouble. One more thing...foster mom says I can be quite 'vocal'. I don't really know what that means. All I know is no one has listened to me for the first 8 years of my life. Now that I'm finally in a loving foster home with a lot of other dogs, I want to make sure I don't get left out again. If you pick me up and give me a little snuggle to let me know I'm loved, I'll quiet right down. I bark at the Adoption Center because there's a lot going on, but it's not that way at home. I may bark occasionally if I'm excited for a treat or need to go outside, but all-in-all I'm a pretty low-key and mellow guy. I'm really hopeful the perfect family is out there looking for me the way I'm looking for them. I've got a new lease on life and want to make sure I'm sharing it with my forever family. Please consider opening your heart to a senior gentleman like me! Warner is a male Maltese/Westie mix that we estimate to be born around 11/23/2009 and weighs 12 lbs. 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_application_to_adopt.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.
