My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

* Currently in Texas *

Introducing the Shakespeare Litter!

Meet Othello, Mercutio, Helena, Rosalind, Hamlet, Achilles, & Hero.

Here’s a little backstory of these 7 pups…..

A suffering mama and her ten parasite ridden puppies were fighting for their lives after being found abandoned in South Texas. By the time we arrived at the scene to rescue the dogs, three of the puppies had already passed away.

The remaining seven puppies were malnourished and covered in parasites. They're only six weeks old and had already experienced massive trauma.

One of the puppies in particular, Hero, was extremely sick and barely hanging onto life. He needed to be syringe-fed around the clock by an amazing foster while his tiny body struggled to stabilize. Thankfully little Hero made a complete recovery.

These poor puppies didn’t have a great welcome into the world but we are changing their fate to amazing, healthy, and happy lives.

Othello, Mercutio, Helena, Hero, Rosalind, Hamlet and Mercutio are currently 8 weeks old and are doing great! They appear to be a bully breed- short in stature and most appear to be stocky.

All of the pups are currently in loving foster homes in Texas and available for adoption in CT, ME, NH, VT, NY or NJ.

Please submit an application instead of sending an inquiry even if you just have questions. Sending an inquiry will slow down the process, limit the ways that we can contact you and may send our reply email to your spam folder. Another application could be processed instead of yours for this dog.

All of our available adoptable dogs are on Facebook, Petfinder, Adopt a Pet and our website. If a dog is no longer listed it means they have an adoption pending.

We are a nonprofit organization - all adoption fees go towards the rescue and veterinary care of these dogs in order to get them ready for their forever homes. The transport fee is an additional $206.89.

We are a shelterless rescue. All of our dogs are housed in foster homes to help them de-stress and get used to a home environment while they await adoption, giving us the opportunity to understand their personalities and needs.

Ready to Adopt? The next step is to fill out our Adoption Application. A volunteer will contact you to review your application and see if your family might be the right match.
