You may notice these paw prints are heavily featuredon our website and business cards. These prints belong to a dog that will forever be special to us. Houston was a two-and-a-half year old pitbull who, after being raised by the same family his whole life, was abruptly discarded because they felt he played too rough. He bounced from person to person until after just five days, he ended up at a shelter where Bill was volunteering at the time. Houston was extremely scared, and displaying defensive and barrier aggression. Despite Houston forming a strong bond with Bill, and making great progress with other volunteers, his fear and distrust was ultimately too much for him to overcome, and he injured someone in a way that deemed him to be unsafe to place. After one last fun day, Houston was behaviorally euthanized on May 29th, 2025, with Bill and one of his other favorite people by his side.
