When we found Roberta at CAP, we found a wonderful young dog that has completely captured our hearts. She offers us complete joy and adventure whether it be at a dog park for a sprited run or at home for gentle cuddling and petting. We are grateful Roberta joined us as a valuable family member, for she is a much loved companion of our nine year old dog, Agatha as well as a friendly sister to our two cats. She is a gentle loving presence on leash walks as well as a playful girl off leash at the dog park. We feel like she is trying so hard to make us happy and follow our directions, even if at times she forgets to listen, Agatha reminds her of the "house rules." We had a hole in our hearts after we lost our 15 year old rescue, Bertie, and Roberta has offered us love and support we can genuinely appreciate. She was well socialized and cared for during her stay for almost 2 months at CAP and is well on her way,
at about a year, towards a healthy and happy adult canine. She is beautiful inside and out and is a pure happy joy to have in the family!

Bailey is the exact kind of dog I was looking for to be a best friend to my shih-poo, after losing her best friend in March. Bailey makes me feel like I won the jackpot! He is such a great boy! I feel sad for the family that had to turn him in, but I hope they know he has a great home with 1 doggy friend, 2 cat friends and gets along great with all of them…and also a grandma who is with him all day long. He’s so sweet and smart and I couldn’t be any happier with Bailey!

We came to CAP with the plan of adopting a medium sized female and ended up with a big male teddy bear. He took my heart when he stood on his back legs to lick me between the door and the cage.

Once inside the meet and great room, he won my wife's heart with his tricks.

Nash is even a good host to the dog we watch at are house.

"When I first saw Wednesday at the shelter I think it was love at first sight .Now, having her for like two months in our house I feel like I have won the lottery of love. Seeing her playing with my other dog is the best thing in the world !! They are my kids.  I am so grateful for places like CAP who make our dream come true by having a dog to take care and love .. 


My life is filled with happiness every time I see Wednesday running through the whole patio like a fox ! I even got her a GPS system so I wouldn’t lose her. Thank you again CAP for such a nice job ! May God Bless you all always ! :) PS : Wednesday says hi to all the wonderful people who took such good care of her at the shelter!"

Dewey and Smokey  Our family was extremely sad after losing our wonderful 15 year-old cat to an untreatable tumor. I went to CAP "just to look" at a cat I saw online who reminded me of my prior cat. I arrived and found out that he had an amazing, loving personality AND that he had a brother who is also a total cuddlebug! We adopted both kitties and they have added so much happiness and love to our home. Thank you to CAP!

kaipo 1kaipo 2 As soon as we met Kaipo(previously Ozzy) we knew he was the dog for us. Since adopting him he has made our house a home and brought in such great energy. He loves our long morning walks, sitting on the patio watching the people walk by, and belly rubs. When he gets excited he snorts and makes us all laugh and give him even more love. We can’t imagine our home without him and thank God everyday for being him into our lives. And a big thank you to CAP for his initial rescue and care.

Mister 1  Mister 2  As soon as we saw our Kai it was love at first sight, we thought about it a lot, but the love and connection with him was stronger...at first it was hard to adjust to his new home, however it was also fast, we gave him Much love, now he is a puppy with a family that loves and cares for him, he feels happy. He is obedient and smart.

The attention was wonderful and fast.

Now he is part of our family.
We love you Kai

Lani  We were wanting to adopt a smaller breed dog and was looking at the local shelters. We were not having any luck and went to CAP website and there she was. John was at the door of CAP, the next morning when they open. He walked in and there sat the “love of his life,” Lani, on the receptionist counter. The lady that was sitting at the desk, told him that Lani was the receptionist. He commented, “that’s the one I want.” And the rest is history. We have always had Eskies, that would not wear a sweater, but this little girl has her own sweater wardrobe. Here she is, our sweater girl, Jacqueline.

Grace We are truely blessed to have Miss Grace as our new fur baby. She has definitely brightened up our lives. I cannot imagine life without Grace. It is almost like having a toddler in the house again and that keeps us on our toes!

Frankie  Frankie (Darcy) was adopted with her sister Grace (Sally) and they are living the high life. Frankie lives with me and my other rescue baby Mugsy and Grace lives with my parents. We go visit Grace every weekend and they play all day long together. Frankie and buddy Mugsy go walking on a local trail every late afternoon when I come home from work. Every Sunday we search for a new walking trail in Houston. So far our favorite is Terry Hershey park. She is thriving and enjoying her sunshine-filled life.
