About Ices

Ices is a 2-year-old Labrador Retriever and American Bully mix whose icy blue eyes catch your attention right away. She spent most of her life as a cherished companion before her world shifted—her owner had to surrender her due to cost back in February. Since then, she’s been waiting quietly in her kennel, watching life from behind the bars at the Houston shelter. Despite the stressful environment, Ices has held onto her best traits: she’s housebroken, obedient, easy to handle on leash (though she might pull if something excites her), and travels well in the car. Shelter staff describe her as genuinely people-friendly. Ices gets along with other dogs and is great with children too. She’s a medium-sized girl with a short white and cream coat, and weighs around 44 pounds. Ices is spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on her vaccinations. She currently has no known special needs. The shelter is pressed for space, and Ices is at risk unless she finds a home or foster soon. She is adoptable out of state for a transport fee and could thrive in a loving home willing to give her another shot at family life. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle friend who deserves a second chance, consider meeting Ices. This could be the start of something paw-some.
