I spy with one little eye… our one-eyed wonder himself, Mr. Uno! See what I did there? 😉
Uno is a special man with an even more special heart — full of love, goofiness, and a serious love for toys, treats, and snuggles. He’s a 3-year-old shepherd mix weighing about 65 pounds, with the most handsome long legs and a sweet, slender build that makes him look like he’s ready for the runway. Uno may be missing an eye, but he makes up for it with twice the personality, twice the charm, and twice the love!
Uno is the kind of dog who’ll make you laugh until your cheeks hurt and then melt into your lap for a nap like he didn’t just make you giggle for ten minutes straight.
Go watch his video and see what this boy is all about!

Let’s start with the basics: Uno loves people. He’ll lean his whole body against you for pets, sit on your feet like it’s his job, and look up at you with that one soulful golden eye that says, “You’re my favorite person in the entire universe.” Uno is the kind of dog who’ll make you laugh until your cheeks hurt and then melt into your lap for a nap like he didn’t just make you giggle for ten minutes straight. He’s the ultimate snuggle bug — affectionate, gentle, and a total heart-stealer. Some of his fans describe him as “bouncy, cuddly, and just happy to be alive,” and honestly… that’s Uno in a nutshell.
Now, about his toy addiction. This man LOVES toys — it’s his full-time hobby. Squeaky toys, rope toys, bouncy balls… he’s not picky. He’ll proudly carry them around, toss them in the air, and then gather them up like prized possessions before curling up for a power nap. Uno believes every toy deserves love — and he’s just the pup to give it.
He’s also a star with kids. Uno’s spent time with little ones and was the absolute perfect gentleman — gentle, patient, and all about the cuddles. He’ll happily take treats from tiny hands, sit politely when asked, and give the softest kisses in return. If there are kids in the home who love a big, goofy, snuggly dog to play fetch and watch movies with, Uno’s the guy.
Uno recently got to go on a big adventure, a doggy day out to the park! He hopped right into the car, stuck his head out the window (ear flaps and all), and took in every bit of sunshine and fresh air like he’d been waiting his whole life for that moment. He was polite in public, didn’t bark at squirrels, and made so many friends at the park. Everyone who met him couldn’t stop smiling — and honestly, neither could we. He even had his first pup cup… and let’s just say it was true love. (He might’ve tried to eat the cup too, but we don’t blame him.) He would absolutely love a family that will take him out on adventures!
When it comes to dog friends, Uno can be a little picky— he’s not into drama and prefers dogs with good vibes only. He tends to click best with playful, goofy girls who don’t take life too seriously (non-conflict). His best friend ever was a goofy female pup, on the more submissive side, and a tad smaller than him! He even played with her when she politely invited him to chase! He absolutely would not mind being your one and only good boy, though! He is 100% ready to soak up all the attention!
At home, Uno is the perfect balance of playful and calm. He’s crate-trained, quiet, and knows when it’s time to chill. He’d love a home with a yard where he can stretch out those long, majestic legs and bask in the sunshine. But when playtime’s over, he’s all about curling up on the couch for a cuddle session (preferably with a blanket and a snack). So with an active family, Uno could even squeeze right into apartment life! Uno is truly one of a kind — a one-eyed, cheese-loving, toy-hoarding, snuggle-seeking sweetheart who just wants to love and be loved.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, slightly goofy best friend who’ll bring laughter and light to every single day, Uno is your guy.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready.

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+.
