Castiel Goose - Wirehaired Terrier and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

*Currently fostered in Portland, OR

Meet Castiel! Castiel is currently a year old, and we think he may be a wire hair terrier and chihuahua mix, but with rescue it's always a guess! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place.

Castiel is a joyful boy with a wiry coat, probably moderate to low shedder, and he's young so he has spunky energy. He likes toys and playing with kids! He tries to instigate play and engagement. Castile is so unique and beautiful! Everywhere we take him, people talk about how unique he is!

Castiel is a Good little guy! He played with Jessica-another small playful dog- and he is not too pushy with his play, for a puppy. He played chase for a little bit and would come back up to me to sit next to my feet. Once he got tired, he would lay down in front of me and relax taking all the affection he could get.

He is a puppy so he will need some training as he gets older, but he will learn quickly because he is very much a people pleaser.
When he met my kids ages 4 and 7, he was joyful and wanted to engage with them. He's very trusting and outgoing.
He does like toys and wants to initiate play.
He met a cat with us and was uninterested.

Castiel is currently in a loving foster home and loves to play and take lots of naps! Castiel is a special boy who doesn't let anything slow him down. He is hearing impaired but is still fully capable of jumping up on the couch for a romp and a snuggle. He is not shy and adores other dogs and wants to be everyone's friend. Castiel is a one-of-a-kind guy! It's not every day you get the chance to adopt a blue eyed wonder boy! If you are looking for a friend to spend your days with, Castiel is your guy!

Castiel is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Castiel's new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood.

You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend!

At our 2-acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dogs growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap-ranging from $100-$1,000+ per dog.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.

The Wirehaired Terrier is a charming and energetic dog breed known for its shaggy coat and lively personality. Originating from terriers bred for hunting small game, they are intelligent, spirited, and make loyal companions.

With proper training and socialization, Wirehaired Terriers can be excellent family pets, excelling in activities such as agility and obedience.
