**Now fostered in Portland, OR**
Meet Endive Lettuce—the adorable little black floof. He’s 3 months old now and just starting to come into his own. One of his siblings took a DNA test, revealing this litter may be Catahoula, Pittie, and Husky mix! What a fun, adventurous combo!
Endive is cautiously curious about the big, wide world. Everything is still so new—he’s learning what it means to be safe, loved, and snuggled, and it's the sweetest thing to witness. He may start off a little shy, taking it all in with wide eyes, but give him a minute and he’s exploring the world one crunchy leaf and oddly-shaped acorn at a time. Watching him toddle around outside, delighting in nature’s tiniest treasures, is genuinely hilarious.
He loves playing with his siblings and really enjoys doing his own thing—independent little explorer that he is. But don’t be fooled—Endive is also a total cuddle bug. He fits perfectly in your lap (for now!) and when he climbs in for a snuggle, it's nearly impossible to say no. One of his favorite activities? Puppy cuddles, of course. And we’re not complaining!

Endive is playful, sweet, and soaking up everything like a little sponge. With every nap, play session, and cuddle, he’s growing into the confident pup he’s meant to be. He is already mastering his crate training, sleeping quietly at night, and he's making great progress on potty training. He can potty on command when taken outside. He's incredibly smart and food motivated, so he's a dream to train.
Since he’s still a baby, Endive will need a family ready to embrace all the ups and downs of puppyhood—training, socialization, and routine are key. We require all adopters to commit to crate training from day one, which will help with potty training, managing energy, and raising a well-balanced adult dog.
In return? You’ll get a lifetime of love, tail wags, and sloppy kisses from your new best friend.

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+. 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.
