Houston is not available for adoption at this time.

Houston was rescued from a kill shelter in Texas. When he arrived at the vet office, he was so scared, he just flattened out like a pancake and no one could get him out of the crate. Finally, they had to take the crate apart and “pour” him out.

Houston had been abused.  He has a head tilt, likely from being hit. He was flea infested, had Entropian in both eyes, severe ear infections in both ears, was heartworm positive and was malnourished. He was quite grumpy and difficult, likely due to being in so much pain and so fearful. The Vet decided to let him chill for a few days and try to ease his discomfort with medication before taking care of his other issues. 

Within a few days, Houston was neutered and had surgery on both eyes. His ear infections were cleared up.  A wonderful SSRR foster flew to Texas from Tennessee to take Houston back and get him into a home environment. Houston is recovering and is now ready to start his heartworm treatment. SSRR needs sponsorship for Houston’s heartworm treatment.
