This little fella ended up on the euthanasia list at an over crowded shelter in Houston. Thankfully a wonderful family said yes to fostering so we were able to bring him into rescue right before his deadline.
First off, Rodeo is adorable. Look at those teef. We can't even stand how cute he is. Right away he warmed up to his foster human siblings and was running zoomies around the house with them. He loves kids but does take a little bit to warm up to adults. Once he knows you wont hurt him he will be your happy little shadow. He is also friendly with other dogs and cats, but he is still a bit scared by big dogs. We think he'd love to have another small dog sibling in his forever home.
Rodeo is doing great with potty training, and while he is working on kennel training it's not his favorite thing. He'd rather be where you are cozy and close. He rides great in the car, loves toys, and walks well on leash ready to go on adventures and to the kids baseball games. He just wants to be included and loved.
Rodeo is currently being fostered in Houston, Texas, but he is available for adoption in many locations across the country. His adoption fee is $800, which includes the cost of transport.
He is estimated to be about 1 year old and weighs approximately 12 pounds. Because we do not know his exact breed mix, we cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic. If you require a hypoallergenic dog due to allergies in your household , we kindly ask that you do not apply.

*We review applications in the order they are received; however, our priority is placing each dog in the home that we feel is the best match for them. We are a small, volunteer-run rescue, and since Rodeo is such a cute and popular pup, it may take us some time to carefully review all of his applications. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
