HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
Hi there, I’m Houston. The only problem here is that I don’t know my size which makes me the biggest klutz ball! 😵💫
I maybe big in size but don’t let it fool you because I’m truly the sweetest and most chill boy. 😎
I LOVE getting my chest and belly rubbed!! I’ll sneakily plop on you just to get cuddles too! I find comfort in sleeping on my foster parent’s bed, even if I don’t give them much space I like to cuddle up like I’m small. 😂I play great with other dogs slightly under or around my size!!! I like to leave pieces of my hair around, so prepare yourself for a fluff party!!! I do know the commands “sit, potty & inside” after going potty. I am in a house with cats, I show a little too much interest in them so I’d be best off by myself or with other dogs. For the most part I do good in the crate, just occasional barking and you have to be patient with me as I was an outside dog before this and never knew what a crate was. If I’m unattended in the yard with a short fence for too long, I’ll become an escapee. I’m also working on my leash manners. I am willing to learn if you are!
If you’re ready for a big guy like me to take a big spot in your heart, ADOPT ME!!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
