About Houston

Houston lives for adventure and connection. He’s pure puppy energy—outgoing, affectionate, and always chasing after the next good thing. You’ll find him right beside you during backyard games, strolls around the block, or just flopped at your feet when it’s time to recharge. His easy confidence and love of people shine through; Houston wants to be in the middle of family life, wherever the fun is happening. Playful and curious, he’s already proving to be a quick study when food is involved and would do great with positive, consistent training. Houston’s social streak makes him a great fit for active households—he wants a home eager to show him the world. He’s picking up house training quickly, especially when kept on schedule, and should transition smoothly with a little guidance. Born around February 7, 2026 (making him an Aquarius puppy—independent with a big personality), Houston will likely be a medium-sized companion and is up to date on his medical care. He’ll be neutered before adoption. Houston gets along well with other dogs and is good with children. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
