Puppy

Meet Athena, an incredibly smart and spunky white Pitbull puppy who's ready to find her forever home! This little girl is full of personality and charm. One of her cutest habits is sitting patiently when she sees you head to the kitchen to fill her water bowl-she knows exactly what's coming! Athena absolutely loves her toys and will happily entertain herself, but she's always up for some interactive playtime too. Her playful spirit really shines through when she's trying to keep up with the bigger dogs, showing off her spicy side by pouncing and joining in the fun without hesitation.

Athena is also a curious observer. She'll sit by the garage door, waiting for her chance to follow the other dogs outside and discover the world around her. Though she's full of energy, Athena has a sweet, affectionate side. After a good play session, she loves nothing more than curling up for a nap-either with you or cuddling up next to the bigger dogs she looks up to.

If you're searching for a bright, adventurous, and cuddly pup to bring joy and laughter into your home, Athena is ready to be your new best friend. She's looking for a loving family that will appreciate her intelligence, playful nature, and endless affection. Could that be you? Adopt Athena and watch her light up your life!

Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX)
Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

We're a couple of sweet pups who came from a breeder and didn't find homes when we were younger, so we spent most of our lives in a pen. But now that we're at the rescue, we are soaking up all the love and attention we can! We adore sitting on laps, following you around, and being by your side. We're also learning how to play with toys and getting used to walking on a leash. We get along great with other dogs and are crate trained, though sometimes we sing when we want out. We're ready to find our forever homes where we can finally enjoy life to the fullest!

Welcome to God’s Dogs Plus Kitties.

<p>When you adopt a cat or kitten that saves two lives!! ADOPT&#8230;. DON&#8217;T SHOP!!! THEIR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!!</p>


Cats/kittens in shelters across the US have outnumbered dogs for the first time in 20 years.

<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>


Puppies don't train themselves

<p>This is going to happen every time and incredibly fast. Please, the next time you have the thought, “I want a puppy!” replace the word “PUPPY” with “DOG.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If your excitement goes down, even the slightest amount, don’t get a puppy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The average lifespan for a dog is 12 years. The wondrous smell of puppy breath only last a few months. This means you have waaay more time owning a dog than a puppy. We frequently have puppies returned to us for a variety of reasons. Often this results in an extremely adoptable 8 week old puppy being returned a few months later as an 8 month old train-wreck.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And… if you just ‘honest to God’ love puppies and wish they never turned into dogs, we have a great option for you – you can foster puppies! You get to help a life in need, get all the fun that comes along with puppies, and never have to have a dog! WIN, WIN!!! Please visit our fostering page for more information.</p>
