Saved Just in Time, Ready for His Forever Home ✨
In late March, a small team of us from Hoardin' Huskies and Hounds of Freedom made the long trip down to the RGV in Houston. We walked into the Harris County Shelter knowing we’d meet dogs facing the unthinkable — dogs who were out of time, out of chances, and still somehow full of hope.
And then we saw Del. A smaller size Alaskan Husky/Shepherd mix.
He wasn’t barking.
He wasn’t pacing.
He wasn’t begging for attention.
He just sat quietly in his kennel — calm, gentle, and heartbreakingly defeated. The kind of dog who tells you his whole story with one look. The kind of dog you cannot walk away from.
We knew instantly: Del deserved another chance.
So we saved him.
And now, Del has shown us exactly who he is — and who he must have been before life took a hard turn.
This boy is absolutely amazing as we’ve learned:
• He knows many commands
• Walks beautifully on a leash
• Is wonderful with all dogs
• Is house trained and nondestructive - doesn’t need to be crated but likes one with a bed to lay in at times.
• Is gentle, polite, and eager to please
• Plays fetch and brings the ball/toy right back to you
• And yes… he is the best boy during bath time
It’s clear someone once loved him, trained him, and cared for him. Somewhere along the way, he lost everything — but he never lost his sweetness.
Del is about 3 years old, neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative. He is ready — truly ready — for the forever home he should have had all along.
This boy has been through enough.
He deserves a family who will never give up on him again.
If you’ve been waiting for a gentle soul, a loyal companion, a dog who will look at you like you hung the moon… Del is your boy.
