Here's what the humans have to say about me:
GREAT FAMILY DOG
DOB 11/1/18, weight 65 pounds
Hey there, everyone! I’m Kodi, a sweet, gentle, loving, and playful red Australian Stumpy-Tail Cattle Dog mix. (This is an AKC breed that is NOT an Australian Cattle Dog with a docked tail.) We are a naturally bob-tailed breed that stands square with plenty of leg-length under our bodies.
My hooman mom describes me as “a great family dog” because I get along great with adults, kids, cats, and other dogs. You name it, I’m easy to please. I can’t get enough of playing fetch, and I’m an expert at focusing on the ball. Alas, I need to work on my ball-catching before I’m recruited to be an Astros outfielder! Foster Mom thinks I look like a unicorn when I lope around the backyard. I’m very much like a young teenager in my demeanor yet possess all the refinements of a mature dog, i.e. no chewing, no food aggression, no housebreaking accidents.
After a rousing game of fetch, I enjoy being a couch potato with Foster Mom because I cherish lying as close as possible to her. Although I’m not demanding, I soak up any affection and cuddles that she dispenses; in fact, occasionally I like for her to hold me. I treasure the shared downtime with Foster Mom as much as I enjoy our neighborhood walks.
I’m quite intelligent and know basic obedience. I realize that I have the capacity to learn more commands, which I’d enjoy because I’d be spending more one-on-one time with my hooman. I’m not much of a barker, although I alert Foster Mom when Amazon or the postman is at the door. Also, I share my glee when it’s time to go outside for fetch or a walk.
I was orphaned when my owner died, and my Foster Mom graciously agreed to bring me into her home, which I share with both cats and other dogs. I blended into the established group quite pawsitively and am actually quite kind to my foster mates. I prefer to be the leader, but I’m not an alpha dog. I’m such a perfect pooch that I’d make a great starter dog for any family. Do you have room in your heart and hearth for a big, burly, and handsome red man who will love you 200%? Then arrange to meet me, and let’s begin writing a new chapter in our lives together!

If you are interested in Kodi and would like to fill out a Dog Adoption Application, please go to: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php . Submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt from us but it initiates contact with us and gets the process started. If you have questions prior to filling out the application, email us at lisagilchrist16@gmail.com and a volunteer will get back to you.

Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and we want to be sure that our potential adoptive families have thought about the impact of this decision carefully. To adopt an animal through HOPE, we request that you complete an Adoption Application, a copy of which is available online for cats at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php or for dogs at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. You may fill it out online or print a copy of the application and complete it prior to arriving at an adoption session. This will expedite the adoption process and will also assist our adoption counselors in matching you to a suitable pet.
We at HOPE make every effort to match our foster pets to appropriate homes. If you feel that we are too intrusive, please understand that it is because we care about their welfare.
Fees
All animals are neutered or spayed and have received age appropriate shots prior to being adopted. We ask that you provide a $100 donation for cats and a donation of $150 for dogs when you adopt your new family member from us. This donation helps us in defraying the costs of these and other medical needs of our animals.

More about this rescue
Our mission is to end the homelessness of cats and dogs through foster to adoption, feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return, and education.
HOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVOR (HOPE) is an all-foster, no kill adoption group based in the Houston area.
HOPE covers the cost of general medical expenses for the animals in the program, such as altering, routine vaccinations and treatment for parasites. Our foster families are asked to provide food, shelter and love to the animals for which they care. They receive no payment for the services that they provide. Without them, and the other volunteers who so selflessly do what is necessary to keep HOPE afloat, it would not be possible to run this nonprofit corporation.
One aim of HOPE is to develop a network of area rescue and humane organizations which will facilitate the rescue and placement of a variety of animals. The goal is to never have to turn away an animal in need. By forming a coalition of humane and rescue groups in the Houston area, we could potentially place all animals who need a temporary home until they are placed into a permanent one.
