Santino - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Humble, Texas

Meet Santino!

Santino and his siblings were born in the Houston, Texas area during the intense summer heat. With temperatures reaching around 100 degrees, it was not a safe or sustainable environment for young puppies. Thankfully, a wonderful foster stepped up, allowing our rescue to bring Santino and his siblings into our program and give them the safe, loving start they deserved.

All of Santino’s siblings have been adopted and Santino is patiently awaiting his turn.

Santino is a male puppy born June 14, 2026. He is a very playful little guy who loves spending time with his siblings and playing with the other dogs in his foster home.

Santino has been raised in a family environment and does great with children and other dogs. He has also been around the family's cat and has done very well.

Santino is looking for a family that will give him plenty of love, and provide him with the forever home he deserves.
