About Houston

Houston is a young, large Doberman/Shepherd mix, weighing around 67 lbs, with a reputation for both adventure and affection. He’s got a strong, athletic build, a short black and tan coat, and a mellow but engaged personality. Houston is especially social with other dogs—he loves to greet everyone with a wag and easily makes friends at the park or on the trail. Despite his playful energy for beach trips or brisk walks, he quickly transitions into relaxation mode, happily curling up in his crate with a favorite chew. He’s house trained, crate trained, and rides well in the car, making him easy to fit into an active routine. Houston’s friendly nature extends to people of all kinds, and he prefers homes with older children or adults, as he hasn’t been exposed to toddlers. He’s dog-social and would do well with canine companions, but a cat-free home is best since he hasn’t lived with them before. With vaccinations current, microchip in place, and having been neutered, he’s ready for a smooth transition into a new home. Houston’s looking for someone who appreciates an affectionate greeting at the door and a reliable, smart buddy for life’s adventures. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
