She Love Kids, Other Dogs and Even Cats! Lovable Luna Blu Is Ready for Her Forever Home.

She Love Kids, Other Dogs and Even Cats! Lovable Luna Blu Is Ready for Her Forever Home.

FOUR-YEAR-OLD Luna Blu is a loyal companion. She belonged to an unhoused man and was by his side everyday. Unfortunately, he was unable to provide Luna the food and medical care she needed. When she became malnourished, he surrendered the 55-pound pit bull/great dane mix to a good Samaritan, and Luna found her way to K-9 Angels Rescue on 19th Street in the Heights.


Who could say no to taking Luna in? She loves kids, other dogs and even cats! Luna is fully house-trained and loves to be active. She would make a great running partner!

K-9 Angels Rescue is a nonprofit that not only rescues and rehomes dogs but — with help from their 350+ volunteers — also seeks to educate Houstonians about irresponsible breeding practices and the importance of neutering and spaying pets. K-9 Angels is unique in that they don't accept pups from the public but instead select healthy, adoptable dogs from greater Houston animal control facilities.

They are located at 1215 W 19th St. Make an appointment before visiting as all adoptable dogs live with foster families.

Jacob Hilton, a.k.a. Travid Halton, at home in his kitchen, where he enjoys cooking as a form of therapy.

PINK FLOYD'S THE Wall. Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours. Beyonce’s Lemonade. Three divergent examples of the album as a cathartic, psychological, conceptual work, meant to be experienced in a single sitting. Houston singer-songwriter Jacob Hilton, 37, who records as Travid Halton, a portmanteau of his mother and father’s names, might balk at being mentioned in such company. (This is a thoroughly unpretentious man, who describes himself as an “archaeologist turned singer-songwriter.”)

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
