MaRoo-Needs a sidekick - Yellow Labrador Retriever and Hound Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

NOTE: THIS IS AN "OUT OF TOWN PET" - that means he is not at this location but we do have transport here - more about transport below. Our Rescue is Houston based (https://www.facebook.com/TwilightTailsRescue) and all our fosters and Rescue Ranch are in and around Houston.

Meet MaRoo — The Sweet, Social, Ready-to-Love Good Boy
MaRoo has pretty much mastered the whole “being a good dog” thing. Now he just needs a family of his own to share it with.

This handsome 18 month-old Lab/Hound mix weighs about 38lbs and brings the perfect blend of friendliness, playfulness, and easygoing charm. He’s housetrained, cratetrained, and already knows how to settle beautifully into home life.

A Social Butterfly
MaRoo currently lives with five other dogs and gets along with every one of them — big, small, goofy, bossy, you name it. When it comes to people, he skipped the chapter on “stranger danger” entirely. In his world, every new human is simply a friend he hasn’t met yet.

Good Manners, Good Heart
No issues around food or toys

Barks only when something truly deserves a bark

Solid recall

Leash walking... well, he’s 18 months old. Let’s call it “enthusiastically improving.”

MaRoo is active and youthful without being wild. He loves to run, wrestle, and play, especially with another dog who enjoys the same. A securely fenced yard would be a dream for him, and he’d make a fantastic walking or jogging buddy for someone who wants a cheerful companion by their side.

Kids, Cats & Critters
He hasn’t lived with children, but his friendly, wiggly personality suggests he’d enjoy romping around with them.

Cats and livestock, however, are a "no go" — MaRoo thinks chasing them is great fun, so he needs a home without either.

Ready for His New Beginning
MaRoo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to head home.

He’s a genuinely good young dog who just needs someone to choose him. And once they do, we’re pretty sure he’ll spend the rest of his life making them very glad they did.

Maroo is neutered, microchipped & vaccinated and would benefit from being adopted by a dog-loving person who understands he has so much to offer but will need a little time to adjust and settle in with his new family.

Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on-time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport.

We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport!
