While Griff may have had a rough patch - he was found on the street before we got him, living a hard life fending for himself - he really is the bestest boy - he loves attention, playing and snuggling with his favorite people! He is very curious, and has the sweetest temperament and personality. He loves to follow everyone around to find out what everyone is doing, and in particular loves to be in the kitchen while dinner is being made because that’s where the action is! (Not to mention is smells AMAZING up there…what’s going on up there he wonders!) When he's not following others around or cuddling, he goes to his toy basket to dig around and find the toy that most needs playing with. He plays and plays - both by himself and with his foster family - and is a good boy about occupying himself if needed. He loves a good nap on the couch - with or without snuggling. While Griff loves to play, he's also very chill and content to nap for hours on end while his humans have to work - he just comes in to say hi from time to time! Griff has never met a human or animal he doesn't like, he is a friend to all, and does very well with his grumpy foster brother! He sleeps in his crate all night without complaint and waits patiently to be woken up. Since adjusting to his foster home, he hasn't had any accidents - he knows where to go and when to go! He's still working on signaling he's ready to go outside, but is doing good at not making messes inside. While playful, he does well at channeling his energy, and has not torn anything up or shown any destructive behavior. He's very polite on a leash and terrific and patient with children. Overall, Griff really does have a terrific, sweet and playful personality and will make a terrific fit for any family.
We think Griff is a Male miniature schnauzer/Yorkshire Terrier mix that we estimate to be about 2 years old, he weighs 15 pounds.

More about this rescue
K-9 Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, all-breed canine rescue organization established in February 2012.
We are a rescue group for shelter dogs who run out of time. In other words, we are not a shelter, have no permanent facilities, and are not equipped to take in dogs from the public. We select dogs from the greater Houston "kill" animal control facilities who would not have made it out alive. (Don't worry! If you need help rehoming a dog, there are other non-profit groups who can assist you.)
No one involved in K-9 Angels receives ANY compensation. Our volunteers are compassionate animal welfare advocates who contribute their time, skills, and finances to shelter homeless dogs in Houston. To save the lives of the abandoned, abused, and stray dogs who end up in Houston's animal control facilities, K-9 Angels relies completely on adoption fees, donations, and our amazing volunteers.
K-9 Angels covers ALL costs for dogs currently in the program. During intake, every dog gets a microchip and is spayed or neutered (if old enough for the procedure). If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. We fund all medical care necessary, even if we have to raise extra Helping Paw funds for special cases! From the time they enter the program to the time they graduate, K-9 Angels dogs are kept up-to-date on all vaccines (DHPP, bordetella, rabies) as well as heartworm and flea prevention.
We commit to K-9 Angels dogs until they are adopted.
Our volunteer foster homes patiently provide safety, love, and integration into a household environment - a key to successful adoptions. The biographies, pictures, and even videos from foster homes are important "pup-licilty" for our dogs! We are always in need of additional foster homes.
Our goal is a "fur-ever" home! We take every precaution not to contribute to the dog overpopulation problem here in Houston. Applications are processed according to our adoption policies to insure the best situation for our dogs and the families who adopt them.
