Puppies in Houston looking for their fur-ever homes

Ellie-Oh is a darling female standard poodle and Wheaten terrier puppy currently residing at IDOG Rescue, Inc.

Ellie-Oh gets along well with other dogs. Her vaccinations are already up to date. She's already house-trained.

Here's what Ellie-Oh's friends at IDOG Rescue, Inc. think of her:

Meet Ellie. Ellie is an adorable female 8-month-old puppy. She has the characteristics of a working, herding dog along with Terrier instincts and behavior. As working breeds do, she needs mental stimulation as well as physical exercise in order to be successful in her new home. She is a bit stubborn and has high energy so will need a patient, calm owner who understands the breeds that make her unique. She craves love and affection and will sit at your feet when it's quiet time. She is afraid of loud noises and fast actions. She runs away from children so we feel that a home where the children are at least 15 years old would be ideal for Ellie's well-being.

Cher is a female rat terrier and dachshund puppy currently residing at Honoring Hope and Faith Rescue, Inc.

Cher is the life of the party — she'll get along great with your kids, dogs or cats. Fear not: She's already house-trained. Cher has all her shots.

Notes from Cher's caretakers:

Cher is a very happy, active little girl who loves to cuddle. She is learning to master the game of fetch. House broken and kennel trained, she lets you know when she needs to go outside. We are currently working on leash training. She is extremely smart and willing to learn. All she wants to do is please her human. She is great with other dogs, cats, kids and all people. Cher is very high energy, running around the house and backyard like a race dog. Once she is tired, she will find a comfy couch with her favorite human and settle down for cuddles, kisses and a nap.

Shelby is a sweet female Labrador retriever puppy being cared for at Animal Justice League.

Her vaccinations are already up to date. No need to worry: she has already been house-trained.

Notes from Shelby's caretakers:

My name is Shelby. I love playing with my doggie foster siblings, running and wrestling in the yard. I have two cats as well, but they don't play with me much even though I've never chased or chewed on them. I haven't met any kids yet, but they look kind of fun and seem to have my energy. I'm completely potty trained and I like my crate, especially when I'm scared of something. I love cuddling on my foster mom's lap. I'm still a bit scared of new things and I'm learning about this whole walking on a leash process, but I've made it around four whole blocks now. I would love to find someone who will help me grow up to be an even more confident and amazing dog and will embrace my goofy side.
