Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some delightful doggies up for adoption? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Houston.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

Roscoe, mixed breed

Roscoe is a lovable male mixed breed dog in the care of Friends For Life Animal Shelter & Sanctuary.

Roscoe is friendly as can be — he loves other dogs. Good news: He's already house-trained. Roscoe is vaccinated and neutered.

Here's what Roscoe's friends at Friends For Life Animal Shelter & Sanctuary think of him:

Roscoe is an unbelievably friendly and cuddly dog. He’s about 45 pounds and loves being with people. He’s a big fan of walks, playing fetch and chasing squirrels. This dog is absolutely amazing if you’re into snuggling and can give him exercise.

Gracie, husky and shepherd mix

Gracie is a female husky and shepherd mix in the care of Bailey Animal Rescue.

Gracie loves other dogs. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. Gracie is vaccinated and spayed.

Notes from Gracie's caretakers:

Gracie is very loving and affectionate when she gets comfortable. She bonds quickly and would be happy with anyone as long as there is petting involved! She is pretty chill and would be happy with short walks, long walks or whatever her human can do. While she does like other dogs, she thinks she is the alpha of the pack, so she would do best with more submissive males.

Boris, chow chow and German shepherd mix

Boris is a male chow chow and German shepherd mix in the care of Houston Chow Chow Connection.

Boris gets along well with children, dogs and cats. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. Boris is vaccinated and neutered.

Notes from Boris' caretakers:

Boris is one amazing boy! Life has thrown some really hard punches at him, but he is bouncing back without stopping. His foster family continues to say nothing but good things about him. He is currently living with both dogs and cats and has not had issues with either.
