Located At: Harris County Pets
Description: My name is Hunter aka Watson. I am male. I look like a white and black Australian Cattle Dog / Pointer.
Age: The shelter staff think I am about 3 years old.
More Info: I weigh 66.00 pounds.
WATSON A661090 has been waiting at Harris County Pets since August 27th, and he desperately needs someone to step up for him.
Watson is a handsome 3-year-old, 66-pound Australian Cattle Dog/Pointer mix who was found as a stray. We don't know what happened to him or how he ended up alone, but we DO know something important:
❤️🐾 STAFF SAY WATSON IS GREAT AND DOES NOT MIND BEING HANDLED. 🐾❤️
That one sentence tells us there is a wonderful dog underneath the stress of shelter life ' and he deserves the chance to show someone just how special he can be. 🙏
Sadly, Watson is HEARTWORM POSITIVE, which makes finding a lifesaving option even more difficult. But heartworms are treatable, and being heartworm positive should NEVER mean giving up on a dog who still has so much life ahead of him. ❤️
