Houston lives up to his name—a boxy, solid guy with a presence in every room. He’s a 5-year-old Boxer/Pit Bull mix with a thick, chocolate and cream coat and a build that’s just as ready for a game of tug as a session of couch potato snuggling. Houston knows all the classics—sit, down, stay, wait, high five—and leans into them with confidence. This is a dog who’ll greet you after every absence, long or short, with that unmistakable wiggle and a nub-tail in overdrive. His favorite days? Quiet, kid-free, spent hanging out with his person, sometimes in full goof mode sprinting the yard. Houston loves water almost as much as he loves learning new tricks. He’s house and crate trained, patient, and tends to be shy with new people at first, but with a little time, he turns on that trademark snuggly side—laps are a destination for him, not an obstacle. Houston's best suited as the only pet in a calm, adult household and would appreciate a fenced yard for his sprints and splash sessions. Houston is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations. Born December 18 (a true Sagittarius—adventurous but loyal). Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
