We’re approaching one month with Patrick!
We saved Patrick from being euthanized at a local animal shelter. He was found as a stray and landed on the euthanasia list for medical reasons. At first, we thought he might be a hospice case but Patrick had other plans.
He’s not just surviving, but he’s thriving!
Patrick stole so many hearts at the shelter (he was even caught hugging a volunteer in his shelter photos) and that hasn’t changed one bit! He loves everyone he meets and truly believes there’s no such thing as too much love. Honestly, we could all learn a thing or two from him.
While Patrick does have lymphoma and mast cell tumors, he’s on a treatment plan and his prognosis is positive. At 7–9 years old, we’re hopeful he still has years of love left to give. Now all he needs is a home to call his own!
Because of his medical needs and heartworm status, we’re looking for a local Texas adopter. We know his person is out there. Could it be you? 💚

Nemo went into foster care after a week at Neighborhood Veterinary Centers - Nederland, where he was being treated for bloody diarrhea that wasn’t improving, despite all the right meds.
Before that, he was picked up by animal control and taken to BARC animal shelter where he landed on the euthanasia list. But now? Just look at him.
In a home, Nemo is a completely different dog. He’s happy, relaxed and is finally able to just be a puppy. Sometimes the cure isn’t found in a syringe or a pill, sometimes it’s found in a home!
He’s a certified LOVER BOY. He’s a velcro pup and wants to give paw and be next to you all the time. He spent the whole car ride home from the vet holding hands with his foster mom. He’s dog friendly and already doing great at potty-training. Nemo still needs a neuter but will be ready for his forever home soon enough.
Help us find this sweet boy a family! He’s sweet, silly and ready to love you a lot! He’s currently in Houston, TX but can travel out of state: www.this-is-houston.org/adopt/adopt-application
