Foster Needed

Albus--Coming Soon/Foster needed!!!

20+ pictures of Albus and all but this one were just a white blur. This guy seriously never stops moving! Even though he's about 6 years old, he has more energy than most dogs 1/3 his age. He will be starting heartworm treatement soon and then once he's neutered, he will be ready for a foster or forever home.

Baird

Baird was surrendered to a local shelter after his family could not afford his medical care. He was lethargic, had bloody diarrhea and we all feared the worst - parvo. Thankfully, it wasn't parvo and our wonderful vets were able to get him back to being a healthy, happy puppy. He is a spunky 11 month old and is ready for his REAL happily ever after. Thank you so much to our wonderful volunteer who rushed out in the middle of the day to get this boy safely out of the shelter. Baird is hoping to find a Foster Family while he waits patiently for his Forever Family to find him.

Branca--Coming Soon/Foster Needed!!

Branca (white in Portuguese) was picked up as a stray running the streets with Albus. They were spotted near the highway in north Bryan by quite a few people before animal control was able to pick them up. Branca is heartworm positive and will need to be spayed once her treatment has been completed. She is super sweet and when she is healthy, she will be available for foster or adoption.

Cayuga

Handsome Cayuga made it on the "list" in a local shelter because he had a pretty nasty wound on his arm. Thanks to one of our volunteers who immediately transported Cayuga to our vets. The vet determined the wound had been there for quite a while and our little man had aggravated it with tons of licking. Cayuga got all fixed up with some hydro and laser therapy and he is now ready for his Forever Family. Cayuga is a young whipper snapper at only 8 months old and is a total sweetie pie. He's won over every one's hearts with his gorgeous smile! Cayuga needs a Foster Family who can help facilitate his wound care at our vet's office while he awaits Forever.

Crash

As you may remember Crash came to us with a severely shattered front leg that has been surgically corrected, and a broken back hip/leg area. Crash is now ready to find his very own Forever Family!! Crash is doing much better with his walking now, and will be going through physical therapy the next few months. Crash will need a Forever Family who is diligent with continuing his home exercises to continue to help his legs progress in strength and mobility. He must have regular walks, but should never be run or jogged. Crash is around a year old, an awesome dude who never has met a stranger. Crash should spend his time mostly being a snuggly couch potato, not an overly active family's husky. Crash is most definitely dog friendly, he would love nice companionship of a calm, mature pack-mate not one who wants to physically wrestle and play with him. Crash has a beautiful husky voice and enjoys serenading his people! A soft orthopedic dog bed to stay comfy on would be best!!

Cyclops

This is Cyclops, and as I'm sure you've gathered, he only has one good eye, but you don't need perfect vision to see that he would make a wonderful addition to your family! He's around 5-6 years old, and he's got the stats to win you over:

house-trained
good with children
crate trained
gentle on the leash
good with other dogs
rides well in the car

He's a chill dude with a lot of love to give his new forever family. Please note, his special requests include lots of chicken and attention in his new home. If you think this mellow guy is for you, fill out an application!

Drayden

Drayden is another boy on the "list" because of a nasty wound on his neck and a swollen foot. We all know any type of injury makes a pup "unadoptable" and they are the first on the list. Our shelter partners knew we were stuffed to the gills but kept Drayden safe for us until we were able to get him to safety. Drayden was rushed to our vets by an awesome volunteer so they could take care of his wounds. He was neutered last Friday but had a few complications (hernia, URI, etc.) so his recovery will take a bit longer. Once he is all healed, he will be ready for Forever!! Please keep this guy in your prayers for a quick recovery. Visit our website www.TexasHuskyRescue.org for more info on Drayden!!

Fritter

Fritter is such a sweet, silly boy. He's about a year and half old and loves people...especially kids. He is doing great at his foster home learning how special it can be to be loved and part of pack.

Gabbie

If you are looking for an unconditional loving companion, Gabbie is your gal. Although she may be shy at first, she will soon be your white shadow. She does prefer the company of women and smaller dogs, although she would prefer to not share her attention and love with other four-legged friends. Gabby suffers from a form of auto-immune anemia and so will require a very special adopter for a very special girl.

Gia

Gia - yet another poor baby that was on the "list." But thanks to a special husky angel, Gia was swooped up for rescue in the nick of time! She is a tiny gal that loves everyone and everyone loves her. Plus...She is great with other dogs! Plus, Plus...rumor is she may be cat friendly!!

Inara

Meet the Firefly Pack!! Malcolm, Kaylee and Inara were born on April 26, 2018 in the shelter to their sweet mom River. Sweet Malcolm loves to snuggle, be held and have his belly rubbed but mischievous Malcolm loves to run and play with his sisters. Inara loves to bark, howl and sing the song of her people. Inara is very playful and learning to keep her mouth to herself. Kaylee is a take charge girl who wants all of the toys and food for herself. Kaylee is learning great manners as well as how to share. Kaylee seems to prefer the company of boys. They are all learning their manners quickly and even already know how to sit.

Inuk

Inuk is about 3 years old and a real lover. He adores giving kisses and riding in the car. Inuk is dog friendly but should be in a home with older children. He has a typically husky independent streak and enthusiasm for adventure. He would do best with an active, husky-savvy adopter. Cuddle, anyone?

Jambalaya

Jambalaya is about 4 years old. He was a stray and in very sad, sad shape with skin infections and severely malnourished. But even as bad as he felt, he's a big ol' love bug. Super sweet, gets along great with dogs and people. All he needs now is a forever family!

Jif

Meet Jif! This gorgeous nutter butter was a stray and never reclaimed. So, it's official...he's now a member of the TXHR Family! He is a very sweet boy, needs a bit of vetting then will ready for his Forever or Foster Family!!

Kaylee

Kinsley

Hello there, My name is Kinsley (aka Princess Fluffy Butt), and I am about 6 years. Like any true husky, I can be a bit mischievous which is how I ended up in one of the most awesome groups ever, Texas Husky Rescue.

You see, I thought it would be super fun to climb my fence to see if the grass truly is greener on the other side. Unfortunately, I never found out the answer since I got my leg stuck in the fence. I was so stuck that I had to have one of my back legs amputated. Now that may be very upsetting for some dogs, but I just think it adds to my uniqueness.

I really don't let having only three legs get me down. In fact, it helps me fold up a bit more compactly on my foster mom's lap. I haven't fully mastered getting up on the couch, so like the true princess I am, my foster mom just picks me up.

Besides cuddling on the couch, I love to play, or rather destroy, stuffed toys. There is just something so satisfying about defluffing a toy.

Although I love hanging out with my foster family, I am ready to have a forever home where I can be someone's shadow.

Kodiak

Kodiak ~ This handsome hunk of a husky was an owner surrender because he "kept escaping." Kodiak was escaping because he was forced to live outside in this horrendous heat and was looking for a cool place to crash. Kodiak is 4 years old and is settling in awesomely at his Foster home. He loves going on walks, loves his foster doggie sister and hu-brother and is learning to be an inside dog.

Luna Lovegood

This is Luna Lovegood and true to her namesake, she's one special girl. Before TXHR took her in, she was used for breeding in a puppy mill and did not know there could be a life outside of her breeding pin. Because of her past, she is a little wary of new things. However, in the short time she has been with her foster family, she has made incredible strides in learning to "dog." She's house-trained, crate trained and does well with other dogs. She is currently learning basic commands and house manners. Her foster family reports that she becomes distressed around new people and new environments, but she is eventually able to trust, as evidenced by her "cuddly" moments with her foster mom. Luna needs to go to a patient adopter who wants to earn her trust and will continue working on breaking her out of her shell. If you can give her the magical life that she so clearly deserves, fill out an application today.

Niko

Niko is a sweet, two year old boy who was surrendered to a shelter along with his dominant female companion. She has found her forever home, and now it’s Niko’s turn!

Niko is a shy, timid guy, wary of new people at first. Once he’s comfortable, he’s very sweet and enjoys affection. As he gains confidence, he is turning into a goofball who enjoys running zoomies, playing, and exploring.

Niko is house trained, crate trained and walks beautifully on a leash. He knows the place command — which will be crucial to continuing to build his confidence in new environments — and has great recall.

Niko would be happy as the only light of your life. However, he could be part of a pack with the right chemistry, slow introductions and the right human. Due to his nervous nature, small children or children who are not dog savvy are not recommended.

Niko’s ideal home contains at least one human (he loves the ladies in particular) who is willing to step up, be a calm, stern leader and environmental advocate. He will be happiest with a human pack leader who will take charge in his life. He would do fine in an apartment or house, but should be closely monitored around other dogs. He is not, and probably never will be, a dog that enjoys dog parks or chaotic environments; and is happiest when his home is calm, quiet and routine.

Are you looking for a chill, relaxed guy to share your home? Look no further, because Niko is your guy!

Omitaa

Omitaa is around two years old. He was surrendered to a shelter in Houston in very poor condition but now he's doing great! Omitaa is very loving and affectionate. He is a small guy but still loves to roughhouse with other dogs. He is crate and potty trained and knows sit and shake. Omitaa is very treat motivated and will probably need some nice, safe chew toys in his new home (otherwise he might not chew something quite so...appropriate). We think he could be an only or a pack mate but cats are not recommended. If a playful, loving, friendly, sweet, energetic, outgoing and happy is what you've been looking for, Omitaa is your guy!

Onora

Onora came in with her pal Paxton after their owners decided to let them loose. We are quite shocked why someone would want to get rid of them because they are both amazing dogs. Onora is a spunky 2-year-old girl who loves to play with other dogs but equally loves to play with humans. Although she is smaller than her foster brothers, she can definitely hold her own in play.

Oscar

Hi, I’m Oscar, a 2 year-old rare husky/rabbit mix. I look all husky on the outside, especially with my piercing blue eyes. However, when I get excited, my inner bunny comes out, and I just have to hop around. My jumping skills are pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. I pounce over the back of the couch with ease and grace, I bunny hop to my crate when it is dinner time, and I can jump in the air great heights to catch a toy. Well, to be quite honest, my jumps are much more amazing than my catches.

Not only am I an expert at jumping, but I also know all of my basic commands, am house trained, and walk like an absolute angel on the leash. Impressive, I know.

When I’m not hopping around or doing somersaults (yes, you read that correctly), I love to play with my canine foster siblings. Since I love playing with other dogs so much, I would love to go to a forever home that has other dogs. I also enjoy cuddling on the couch and getting belly rubs, playing tug of war, and defluffing toys.

All in all, I’m a pretty cool dude. So, if you would like a never ending supply of entertainment and love, then I’m your guy!

Pandora--Coming soon!

Pandora is around five years old and was part of cruelty/breeding seizure. She will need to recover from heart worms before finding her happily ever after. We will keep you updated as she recovers with one of our most experienced fosters.

Parker--Foster Needed!!

Parker is about 2 years old, walks nicely on a leash and is both dog and cat friendly. He is house trained and knows a few commands. Parker has an outgoing personality, friendly, affectionate and a wannabe lapdog. And he loves toys!!

Paul

My name is Paul, and I really hope you have a tissue ready because my story is quite the tearjerker. Spoiler alert-- it has a happy ending.

Although my past is my closely guarded secret, I will give you some hints. As you can see, the top of my left ear is missing. I wish I could say I was born this way, but that's not the case. Because of my distrust of dogs, it is pretty easy to conclude that a dog ripped it off. Instead of being sad about my missing ear, I have decided to embrace it since I think it adds to my cuteness.

I officially became a TXHR pup after my heartbreaking shelter picture made its way to the rescue. Make sure you grab one of those tissues when you look at it. As you can see, my spirit was very broken.

My transition into TXHR was rocky at first, considering people hadn't been exactly great to me in the past; but with love and patience, my amazing Foster Dad taught me how to trust again. I don't always understand why he asks me to do things that push me out of my comfort zone, but I comply because I know my Foster Dad only asks me to do things that help me make better choices. I am still not quite ready to live with other dogs because I am still haunted by the dog who ripped my ear off, but that just means I get extra belly rubs from humans because I do not have to share attention.

I know a lot of people really want puppies, but let me tell you what this 6-year-old has to offer...I will sleep quietly and contentedly in my crate so that you can sleep peacefully through the night. I don't chew on shoes or furniture, I don't potty in the house, I don't steal food off the counter, and I don't jump on people. My Foster Dad, who is a dog trainer, will even help guide you in making my transition into my Forever Home seamless.

As you may have noticed, I love my Foster Dad; however, I still dream of ending my story with a "Happily Ever After" with my very own Forever Family.

Raven--Coming Soon!

Raven is a new mama ready for her very own forever home. She is incredibly sweet and would be the perfect addition to any home. Could you be the lucky one?

Remington Bleu

This handsome guy is Remmington Bleu!! He is super smart and about a year and a half old. He is somewhat shy, but warms up quickly. Remmington loves playing ball and road trips. He is crate and house trained. He would do best in a home with older children (13 and up).

Sansa--Coming soon!

Sweet Sansa is around a year old. She loves to play and is one spunky little lady.

Schnitzel

Handsome hunk Schnitzel just wants a family to love. Schnitzel is sweet, smart and playful. He is doing awesome at his new Foster home, He gets along great with other dogs, loves car rides and knows some basic commands. His Foster is working with him on loose leashing training. Schnitzel just wants to do the right thing and is so happy just when he hears "good boy!" Schnitz can't wait to find Forever...maybe he's the perfect husky for you!!

Sheldon

Sheldon doesn't look like a typical husky but he has as much heart as any Siberian! He is 4 years old and born into rescue when his pregnant husky mom was saved from an area shelter. Sheldon is a sweet and loving boy who gets along great with other dogs, loves to play, go on walks and visit the dog park. He is house trained, crate trained and super smart. Sheldon is kid-friendly and loves everyone!! Sheldon has been waiting a very, very long time to find Forever! Maybe he has been waiting for you!!!!

Tizzy

Sweet Tizzy is around two years old. She came into rescue with some medical issues after her owners moved and did not have time for her. She is recovering well and can't wait to start her new life.

Tyrion--Foster needed!

GOT fans rejoice, Tyrion Lannister has joined the TXHR family and he's just as awesome as his namesake. This handsome boy has lots of love to give.

Urso

Urso is almost a year old and is an absolute goofball. He is super affectionate and love, love, loves to play! He has a great personality and is a happy, cheerful little boy whose ideal home would contain another playful doggy companion to romp and roar with. He could be an only with a very active human who would keep him busy.

He is small and large dog friendly. He has not been cat tested, but because of his high play drive, cats and small dogs that run are not advised — he will chase after them trying to play.

Urso is house trained, crate trained and has fabulous leash manners. He knows the place command and has great recall. He is very good natured and thinks every human ever is awesome! He may be a little rough for very small children, as he still plays in a very puppylike manner, but he takes direction extremely well and calms down quickly when redirected.

If you’re looking for an active companion to go on adventures and experience the world with you, Urso is the perfect pick! He is ready and waiting!

Velveeta

Velveeta is around a year old and came to us with an ugly case of mange. Now that she is all healed and as gorgeous as ever, she is just waiting on her own family to make her dream of forever a reality. Her medical foster reported that she is a dream, and whoever adopts her will hit the jackpot with this lovely lady.

Ving

Handsome Ving is about two years old. He is a big, fluffy hunk of husky love. Ving is affectionate, talkative, and big hearted. He rides great in the car and is good on the leash. He loves belly rubs and pets (who doesn't?).

Wilk

Wilk is a super sweet boy around 6 months old. Wilk is a spunky, cute little guy and is doing great at his foster home getting to know his canine foster sisters.

Xiamara

Xiamara was found as a stray with no one to claim her. She quickly ended up on that list that we all despise because the shelter was packed. Nope, we couldn't let that happen so thanks to awesome volunteers we rescued her. Xiamara is around 2 years old and incredibly sweet and loves life!! She loves to play, cuddle, run and even if it's not fun she'll make a game of it. Xiamara is currently in our boarding facility but would love to find a Foster Family to hang out with until her Forever Family finds her!

Yam

Yuzu

I've never met a dog that is more chill than Yuzu. This girl does everything in slow motion. She is an older girl (7+ years). So if you're looking for a calm, quiet couch potato...this is your girl.
