About Wade

Meet Wade, the Comeback Kid with a Heart of Gold! Wade is a playful Cattle Dog mix, about 9 months old and has overcome some tough challenges in his young life. Found as a stray with a serious leg wound, his past led him to the euthanasia list at a Houston shelter. But that was just the beginning! His leg is healing wonderfully, and he’s ready to roll into his forever home. This joyful guy is all about that big puppy energy. Wade thrives on food, loves his treats, and adores learning new tricks—his favorite one being his perfect "sit". He needs a family that’s enthusiastic about training and wants to keep teaching him. He would really enjoy an active household that likes walks, hikes, and plenty of playtime. Wade is great with dogs and would benefit from a home with older, dog-savvy kids who can handle his exuberance without getting knocked over by his excitement. Wade’s had quite a journey and is now looking for a loving family to share his massive heart with. Could you be the one? Out-of-state adoption transport is fully included in his adoption fee.
