My story

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

Introducing ….Kongo King of the Boop, bringer of the smooches!

This absolute specimen of a beefcake is estimated to be just shy of 2 years old American Bully boy with a big blocky head, the smile to match, and a cute cow-like black and white coat with polka dot sprinkles. Weighing 69 pounds, he’s a handsome, sturdy guy who’s equal parts physical presence and gentle devotion. Kongo is smart, attentive and treat-motivated. Despite the size of that mouth, he is a sweetheart when he takes snacks , he has a soft, gentle mouth. His signature move though is the nose boop! Whether he’s greeting you or exploring his world, Kongo’s boops are guaranteed to make you smile!

Kongo is a laid-back pup who would love a calm, structured home. He’s not one for rough-and-tumble dog play but could do well with a lower-energy female dog who is happy to chill together. His looks may give off tough-guy but truly Kongo is sensitive and responds very well to a gentle, confident approach. He’ll do best in a quieter home, ideally with a yard to relax in and adopters who can help him feel safe. Because of his size, occasional pulling on leash, and lack of experience ins noisy/busy environments, Kongo is not suited for apartment living. Kongo is polite with people but occasionally will still jump. He is very responsive to gentle correction and jumps down quickly but for now, we recommend older kids if joining a family home and he is not the fit for an older, senior adopter. Kongo is so fun to take in public too. He is a great passenger in the car, although you may have to lure him inside with some chicken nuggets. Hey, me too Kongo! He had so much fun with our volunteers, they went to the park and sniffed the flowers, then off to pick out a yummy treat from the doggy bakery across the street. Sounds like a blast!

Kongo is dog-friendly but undoubtedly has a “type” the mellow, easy-going females are welcome with him, but he also does not need a canine companion in the home and is a perfect fit if you are looking for a dog that will be happy as an only-dog. He is a sensitive soul, submissive to people, and deeply devoted once he trusts you, which comes easy. He is truly the kind of dog who is going to bond closely and become someone’s loyal best friend. This includes kiddos too! Kongo did wonderfully with a 4 year old here at the rescue. They had so much fun playing with stuffies, throwing them around the room and jumping all over the bed. Of course he had to give her some of his famous Kongo kisses and boops— and in exchange she gave him lots of treats, which he took with a gentle mouth. She gave him some of her famous bear hugs— and he didn’t mind one bit. In fact, he offered her one right back. He sat back on his hind legs and lifted his two front paws up and asked for a hug. Sweet Kongo, we just can’t help but fall for you!

If you’re looking for a gentle, goofy, boopy boy, Kongo is ready to be yours!

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. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress! 

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+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
