Odd...when searching for the business "Pup Squad" in the Yelp search box, the business Smashburger…read morekeeps coming up as a result! =/ *gulp* Visited the Pup Squad Animal Rescue location at Houston Pavilions Saturday morning to peep through available pups. The rented space is large, airy, and spacious enough for several kennels to line the walls without overcrowding. Due to the high ceiling, warehouse style accomodation, it smells fairly fresh & clean in here. It's also dark and cool, and most dogs were found napping their way through the morning...a stark difference from other adoption places I've been to. It was easy to move through the space, and foster parents sat next to their pups like proud parents, eager to do a show and tell if so requested. What I liked most about this place is that the dogs here seemed to be happy! I rarely saw nervous, jittery dogs. Most were in their kennel, eager to play with visitors; others in their foster parents' arms, and some napping, barely opening an eye to peer at us. Though I did not come away with a new child that day, I wouldn't hesitate adopting one from this group. I spent a good 20 minutes talking to a foster mom about this organization and I'm completely thankful and hopeful that there are still many altruistic people left in this world. If you're considering adding a member to your family, please put Pup Squad Animal Rescue on your list as a must-visit.

This program is great when you think that most people want to get a puppy when they get a dog, but…read moreif you want to do your part and get a rescue dog, your chances of getting a small breed puppy decreases to about zero. They have dogs in all shapes sizes and colors and all (I'm pretty sure) in good health. Our first visit there we were just curious but pretty interested in getting another dog to play with our very energetic shih-tzu and one that was small enough to accommodate apartment living. We walked around a bit and they did have some really cute dogs, but it wasn't until we spotted this adorable pup that I had the "gotta have this puppy" feeling. They told us he was a puppy mill dog and that he was a Tibetan terrier and maybe about 3 months old. We personally didn't have all day to make a decision and were hesitant to commit on the spot, but they guaranteed that we could have a one week home visit to make sure that we wanted to keep him and that he was compatible with our dog. They would hold the $120 check and if we didn't come back, they'd cash it. So, for $120 you get a puppy in good health who's been socialized through the foster program with as many/all of the shots and exams needed for the applicable age an optional microchip to have put in later rabies and county tags You have to fill out an application form, but they review it on the spot and if you're a shoe-in (i.e. you have a dog or know the risks/responsibilities of having a dog) they let you adopt. It was a painless process and we are very happy with our puppy. These dogs are rescues so I'm attributing that to the fact that we weren't quite sure of the age, how big he'd get, and if he was really the breed they said he was (we thought he was a bit jack russell for a while, but now due to his size, we are back with the Tibetan terrier.) The other great perk to having a rescue is that I know at least the VCA will give you a free first exam for having just adopted a rescue. A great program and system for adopting puppies! Just a note, puppy mill dogs, as I later found out, can have a lot of health problems on their own due to poor/careless breeding. Do your research!

We have been looking for a Beagle puppy for months and evaluated quite a number of breeders that would be well versed in Beagles. Well, Rancho Robles team helped on every single aspect of our research. This was not our first experience with Beagles and have been familiar with the breed for 20 years; however, when talking to Holly and Pete, we found ourselves continuing to learn and understand questions that we felt incomplete for our tenure with Beagles. Every book and resource that they recommended to us was well thought out and detailed. Every visit we had with them was informative and most importantly very fun. They are very responsible and protective of their family of Beagles and pets. When you see their home and grounds, it is evident the amount of organization and responsibility they maintain to raise these animals. They are extremely committed to maintaining a healthy line of communication to continue to be a resource for us during the life of the Beagle. This is not just some puppy mill or backyard breeders, but you can see why they are proud of their pedigree and health focused program. Not only are all their dogs and puppies beautiful but they are raised in a way that encourages all of the proper needs to raise your puppy, so long as you put in the effort required when you take your puppy home. Following all of their recommendations, our puppy has managed to learn 12 commands in less than 2 weeks. He came mostly potty trained due to their program and understands that relieving themselves is an outdoor process. We are in the process of raising our little puppy to ring a bell to use the bathroom and he is beginning to connect the dots. We are 2 ppl with full time jobs as well and following the Rancho Robles suggestions and support is making our lives significantly easier from everything to crate, command, and obedience training. We are truly blessed to have met both Holly and Pete and are very excited to continue our relationship with them in the future when we decide to add an additional puppy to the family. If you have a chance to talk to them about any of their processes and family, you will see very easily that they care about their lineages and pedigree to a high regard. There are not many that have a holistic approach that is embedded in education and experience. Rancho Robles deserves all the praise and all it takes is giving them a call or message and you will see what we saw after asking them a series of questions and concerns. If you manage to visit their ranch, you will feel the love and see how happy every puppy and old pupper are.
