💥💥PLEASE SHARE TO HELP CASH 💥💥
🐾Meet the Adorable Cashew ("Cash" and/or "Cashy") 🐾
Cash is a happy, charming, gentle, sweet, gorgeous, and loving Labrador Retriever mix weighing in at around 40–45 lbs. Cash is as soft on the inside as he is on the outside.
He was born safely into rescue after his mom was found wandering the mean streets of Houston, and he’s one of twelve lucky pups who got a second chance at a happy life.
Cash is a total velcro dog. He loves being close to his people and will happily follow you from room to room, always ready to snuggle up for some quality cuddle time. He’s also a very smart boy! Cash has had professional training and already knows sit, shake, down, and place!
HIGHLIGHTS
*He's house trained
*He's crate trained
*He's leash trained (he might start off with a little enthusiasm, but quickly settles into a relaxed, easygoing walk)
His dream home? A dog-savvy female, elderly female (or couple).
He’s a dog-social sweetheart who truly enjoys the company of other animals. Cash is thriving in his foster home alongside four doggie siblings and does great with cats too! He loves to play chase (both giving and receiving!) and never misses a chance to show off his zoomies when the mood strikes.
Because Cash missed some early socialization, he can be a bit cautious with new sights, sounds, and strangers. Sudden noises or unfamiliar environments may make him pause — but with patience, reassurance, and love, he continues to grow braver every day. His foster family has seen this journey before with his brother, who started out shy and blossomed into a confident, happy dog. Cash is well on his way and will thrive in a calm, understanding home that celebrates small wins and builds his confidence at his pace.
If you’re looking for a cuddly, loyal, and intelligent companion who will stick by your side, Cashew might be your perfect match. With a little patience and a lot of love, he’s ready to become an amazing lifelong best friend. 🐾💙
AARF Houston facilitates adoptions throughout the United States. Transportation is available and the adoption fee is negotiable to the right family.

🐾🐾Adopt or Foster Sweet and Gentle "Tilly" 🐾🐾
Meet Tilly, a beautiful and affectionate Labrador Retriever/Boxer mix who is ready to find her forever family. Found as a stray—hungry, terrified, and heartbreakingly abandoned—Tilly is a gentle soul currently looking for a patient, loving home where she can finally feel safe.
Because of her past, Tilly is naturally a bit timid and is still learning to trust. She is a quiet, sweet companion who just needs a little time, structure, and someone willing to take things slow to help her blossom. She has a heart of gold and immense potential; with just a bit of patience and training, she is sure to reward her new family with a lifetime of unconditional love.
Tilly is a true diamond in the rough, and we are searching for a special person or family to help her shine. As she has spent time in boarding, we are still uncovering her unique personality, and we are committed to finding the right match to get her into a stable, happy environment.
Are you looking for a rewarding rescue journey? Please consider adopting or fostering sweet Tilly today to help her leave boarding behind and start the life she deserves.

Meet Jackson – Your New Best Friend!
Jackson is an adorable 1-year old
male Affen Tzu - a Shih Tzu/Affenpinscher mix, with a fun-loving personality and a heart full of affection! This handsome little guy is always ready for his next adventure, whether it's playing with his favorite squeaky toys, chasing a ball, or enjoying a tasty chewy treat.
Jackson is a social butterfly who loves people of all ages. He's happiest when he's giving sweet kisses, soaking up cuddles, or spending time with his family. After a day of play, you'll often find him curled up on his elevated dog bed, happily enjoying a well-earned nap.
This sweet boy rides wonderfully in the car, is crate trained, and is learning to walk politely with a harness and leash. Jackson is eager to please and continues to make great progress with his manners.
Jackson gets along beautifully with other dogs, children, and adults. Because he is young and full of playful energy, he would thrive in a home with older children or another dog who can be his companion and playmate. His absolute favorite pastime is fetching squeaky balls!
If you're looking for a cheerful, affectionate, and playful companion who will fill your home with love, laughter, and endless tail wags, Jackson may be the perfect addition to your family!
Jackson is ready to find a Forever Family that will cherish his playful spirit and loving heart. Could that family be yours?

They're at it again!
09/23/2026
Oliver is finally starting to show us who he really is — and it’s been so rewarding to watch.
When he first arrived, he barely left his “safe spot” on the sofa and was terrified of almost everything. Now? He plays, bounces around, explores the house, and has started treating life a little more like a game of hide-and-seek.
He’s still an introvert… but maybe a tease-introvert, if that’s a thing. 😄
✔️ No longer peeing inside
✔️ Going outside willingly
✔️ Takes treats from your hand
✔️ Loves other dogs
✔️ OBSESSED with his Woof pupsicles
Oliver is a gentle, sensitive dog who continues to blossom with patience and consistency. He does best in calm environments and gains confidence from other friendly dogs.
He may never be the loudest dog in the room — but he absolutely has personality, and once he feels safe, it starts shining through.
If you love the quiet, quirky ones, Oliver might be your boy.

You thought you were taking them for a quick walk… but they had other plans.
Every tree needs investigating. Every patch of grass has a story. And that one smell you can’t even notice? Apparently, it’s worth stopping for.
We’re often thinking about where we need to be next. They’re just happy to be right where they are—with us.
Maybe that’s one of the sweetest things about walking together. For them, spending time with you is the destination. ❤️🐾
