🐕✨Meet Cotton Ball… a soft heart learning to feel safe 🤍🐾........ located in Houston, TEXAS Lab retriever mix Weight: 32lbs Estimated birthday: 3/26/2022 Cotton is a gentle, sensitive girl who’s just beginning to discover what love really feels like. She came from a difficult hoarding situation where she didn’t receive the care or attention she deserved. She arrived very underweight, but with good food, patience, and kindness, she’s slowly gaining strength and confidence every single day. This sweet soul can be a little shy when you first meet her, and that’s okay. The world is still a big, new place for Cotton, and she’s looking for someone who understands that trust takes time. But when she starts to feel safe, you’ll see it… the soft eyes, the quiet tail wags, the gentle presence that just wants to be near you. Cotton would do best in a calm, loving home where life moves at a slower pace and she can continue to blossom in her own time. She’s not the kind of dog who will rush into your arms right away, but she is the kind who will build something deeper, a quiet, loyal bond that’s truly special. All she needs is someone with a kind heart, a little patience, and the willingness to let her go at her own pace. In return, Cotton will show you just how beautiful it is to earn the love of a once-shy dog… and there’s nothing sweeter than that 🤍 Cotton Ball is: ⭐️ Fully vaccinated, microchipped, & spayed 🏡 Kennel & potty trained 🐶 Dog friendly 📍 located in Houston, TX (transport available out of state!)

These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport. *Our adoption fees are based on the vetting we put into each dog. Fees for puppies (under 12 months) are higher because they require more vetting than dogs over 1 year. *Listed breed and age are based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption. *Our adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption. *All of our adopters are invited to join our “Alum Pupdates” Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters!
