About Forrest

Meet Forrest! This stunning 3-4 year-old, 60ish-pound Husky mix is ready to leave his rough past behind and step into a bright future! Forrest was found braving the streets of Houston as a stray and narrowly escaped the euthanasia list at a crowded, high-kill shelter. Thankfully, he was scooped up just in time and given the second chance at a beautiful life that he so deeply deserves. Forrest is sweet and gentle, and with his mesmerizing bright blue eyes and big, goofy smile, he’ll steal your heart the moment you see him. While he can be a bit shy in new environments or around new people at first, he warms up quickly—especially if you come with tasty snacks. His treat motivation makes earning his trust and continuing his basic training an absolute breeze. He enjoys the company of other dogs and does well with them but prefers slow, structured introductions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Due to his breed mix and natural instincts, a home without feline friends is essential. Forrest is looking for a loyal, patient family willing to give him a little time to decompress and realize he is finally safe. He is eager to be a devoted, loving companion, whether it's going on neighborhood walks or simply lounging nearby. Don't let distance deter you; transport is included in his adoption fee to bring him to your area. Local meet-and-greets are also available for Texas residents. Are you ready to give Forrest the forever home he deserves? Apply to adopt him today!
