About Howdy

Howdy is the cutest little pup around! His mom was found as a stray next to a busy freeway with her friend. Both dogs were rescued and a day later, Momma Abilene felt safe enough to deliver our Texas litter! Howdy was born on 3/19/26 and is 10 weeks old (as of 5/30/26). He currently weighs about 15 pounds with room to grow, and we estimate he will grow to be a medium to large sized pup. Momma dog weighs about 60 pounds, so this is a guess based off of our vet's recommendations. Howdy will be adopted out on a neuter contract and neutered between 6 months to 1 year of age. He is a bundle of joy and the sweetest little pup, friendly with everyone he meets, including dogs, cats, and kids! He enjoys belly rubs and playing with his doggie foster siblings in the yard. Howdy is full of personality and loves to romp around and play, but also loves to climb in your lap for snuggles.

Ideal Home

Howdy would love a fully fenced yard or an active family as he has puppy energy he'll need to burn off. He would also love another dog in the home to show him the ropes, but this is not necessary.

Ongoing Health

Howdy will be ready for adoption at 12 weeks old once he's fully vaccinated and microchipped.

Training & Support

Howdy is not quite potty trained at this point and will need a patient family who will continue to work with him on potty training. He is catching on quickly and we're sure he'll make progress towards being fully potty trained by the time he transports to his new family! Howdy is still working on crate training. He currently does well in a baby gated off room, and we're slowly introducing him to the crate. All puppies under the age of 1 year old are strongly encouraged to attend some form of puppy obedience classes/training with their new adoptive family.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transportation

Howdy is currently in a foster home in Houston, TX and is eligible to transport to an adopter as soon as one is lined up. Due to border patrol restrictions, you'll be required to cross the border and meet in Blaine, WA to receive your pup.
