🌟 Meet Houston, the charming 1-year-old Hound/Pit Bull mix who's been waiting for his forever home for over three weeks! Can you believe this adorable pup has been at the shelter since October 15, 2025? 🐾 It’s time for Houston to escape the shelter life and step into a warm, loving home where he can heal and flourish. Houston isn't just any dog; he's got a personality that lights up the room! Although he’s facing a little hiccup with an upper respiratory infection, let me tell you, all he needs is a little TLC and a cozy spot to recover. Picture him snuggling up with you on the couch after a long day—who wouldn't want that?! 💖 He’s ready to shower you with love and companionship. Now, we all know that adopting a new furry friend is a big deal! But let's face it, Houston is more than worth it. 🌈 You can make a miraculous difference in his life and yours! Just imagine taking him for his first walk in the park, where he can sniff out all the new adventures waiting for him. And who knows, he might just want to make some canine friends along the way! 🐕🦮 It’s important to mention that potential adopters must come meet him in person at the shelter in Bakersfield. Houston is depending on you to give him the second chance he so rightfully deserves. ✨ So why wait? Head to the Buddy App, and apply to adopt this sweet boy today! The love and joy that comes with adopting Houston await you! ❤️ Companion Animal Protection Services (CAPS) is collaborating with Kern County Animal Services to find loving homes for high-risk dogs like Houston. Let’s help him find his new family before it’s too late!
