Dogs & Puppies for Adoption
CAP has many wonderful dogs and puppies available for adoption. Also, new animals arrive every day at the shelter, so our site features only a small number of our residents. For a real canine caper, stop by the shelter, located at 11925 Katy Freeway in Houston, Texas.
Before coming to the shelter, you may want to review our Adoption Information page and print out a copy of our dog adoption application. There's not a moment to waste - the "Love of Your Life" may be waiting for you!
Rosie 10530165

I am black with a bit of white on my chest Terrier mix. I am 1.5 years old and weigh almost 30 lbs. I have many good reasons for you to take me home with you. I’m already housetrained, and I’ve been spayed. I like lots of attention so I want to be your only dog. But I should be able to get over being your only child if you just go slowly. NOTE: I'm only here on weekends so please come visit me then.
Coden 10287678
Coden is the master of the unexpected and an inspiration to us all! Months ago, an unassuming fluffy boy was found wandering the streets, obviously in need of TLC. He ended up at just the right place...CAP. With a small wound under his eye and his eyelashes curling inward (entropia), Coden the handsome two-year old Chow/Shepard mix was having a hard time viewing the world around him. Thanks to our Veterinary Liaison Janet Huey and a wonderful vet donor, Coden was able to have the surgical procedure needed to correct his eyelashes and give him a new look on life. That same vet also performed a procedure to remove a bullet the vet discovered lodged beneath one of Coden's eyes. Coden has made a full recovery and would like to send a huge 'Thank you!" to the vet who helped him, the liaison who made it possible, and the staff members who diligently cared for him afterwards. And now Coden would like to find his new loving "fur"-ever home. Coden is a sweetheart of a dog who loves everyone he meets and can also appreciate a good brushing to keep his coat looking handsome. Coden is a special, loving boy who wants to be the only apple of his adopter's eye, and needs to be the only pet in the household. If you would like to meet Coden, call 281-497-0591. #10287678
Punkin 10944450
Hi, I'm called Punkin...12 pounds of adorable and cuddly little boy poodle. The vet thinks I am about nine years old, but if you know poodles you know that means I still have about half of my life left to live. I've had it rough so far; I was found as a stray, very thin and matted, with some missing teeth and a bad limp in my back left leg. The vet thinks I was probably hit by a car. The top of my femur (leg bone) was shattered at the hip socket, but since I apparently didn't get any medical attention then, it healed itself with scar tissue. It doesn't seem to cause me a lot of pain, but I will have a permanent limp, and as I get older I may need some anti-inflammatory or pain medications, or possibly even surgery, if it starts to bother me more. - - Even with all of that, I am an adorable little guy who just wants a lap to sit on and lots of love from someone. My perfect home would be with someone who is home a lot and can help make up for all the attention I've missed so far in my life. I seem to like everybody, and I bond pretty quickly. I don't mind other dogs, but I would also be fine as an only pet. Because I am a little fragile, I would do best in a quieter home with no small children who might accidentally hurt me. - - I am healthy except for the limp and the missing teeth, and my only requirements are that I eat soft food. I go right to my crate at night. So far, in my foster home, I only bark when I want to get to my foster mom and I can't. I've been neutered and had my teeth cleaned and examined. I am with my foster mom, so if you'd like more information or would like to meet me, please email.
Dante 9323459

Dante is a 1 1/2 year old Whippet/ terrier mix who came to CAP with a broken radius and ulna. He is now healed and ready for an experienced home.

Happy 7188337

Happy is a 7 1/2 year old, male, neutered chihuahua. He weighs 6 pounds. He was turned in by his owner, because they got a new puppy, and he did not like the new dog. He had heartworms, and has now been treated for that, but a grade three heart murmur has lingered. This may, or may not, get better as time goes on. He is not on any meds for it at this time. Happy has only been around females his whole life, and is terrified of men, and children. He is looking for an experienced, ALL adult home, with only females. He is very sweet and loving, once he bonds with you, and can be very playful. He would be okay as an only dog, or with another chihuahua that will not intimidate him. He is house-trained. For questions please email Rebecca.
Miles 11188107


Miles is a Tan and Black Male Chihuahua mix that is 11 months old weighing 6 1/2 pounds. He gets along with other dogs but like a Chihuahua, he wants to be the boss.

Miles would be best with people 10 years old to adults. To meet him or for questions email Lynn.
Valentine 9594464

Valentine is a tiny little spayed, female chihuahua/ terrier mix. She is around 3 years old, and weighs almost 6 pounds.

She is super sweet, and likes to give you kisses. Valentine LOVES to run, and will take off very fast around the yard when she goes out to potty, so she needs a home with a yard.
