About Saki

Saki's story is proof that resilience pays off. This 2.5-year-old Red Heeler mix was found alone in Houston, Texas, facing a tough start to life, but she’s left those hard days behind thanks to dedicated foster care and plenty of patience. Saki is now spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has beaten heartworm. She’s healthy, happy, and ready to meet her forever family. In her foster home, Saki gets along well with the male pugs and easily accommodates submissive dogs. She may be reserved around new people at first, but, given a little time, she'll reveal herself as a gentle, affectionate partner. Saki would do best as the only dog or paired with an easygoing, non-dominant companion. She’s also comfortable with children, making her a great fit for many families. After all she has overcome, Saki simply wants a quiet, loving home where she can keep growing and enjoy a new chapter. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
