Talk about main character energy, social butterfly, life of the party, and a total hoot!! His name is Chorizo Bandito and he has the best personality, hands down. He brings so much joy, happiness, and brightens the room with his happy go lucky energy. Chorizo is your personal ray of sunshine. There will be no bad days with Chorizo by your side or a shortage of laughs. He is a natural at making you smile.
Watch his video and fall in love with this silly loving boy: https://youtu.be/vm9iChob_xI?si=9LXqs30BD-9daPFP
Chorizo is believed to be a cattle dog mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 46 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Chorizo is dog friendly as well and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced her to. Especially if they’re more on the chill side like he is. Chorizo is friendly and respectful, happy to say hello with a quick sniff, and then do his own thing. He's not really a rough-and-tumble play kind of guy, but he’s totally comfortable hanging around other dogs—even in big playgroups. Every now and then he will give an appropriate correction almost like he's saying "alright now kids, that's enough go bother someone else" LOL like a dad would to his own children. He is simply just happy to hangout and watch the other dogs play. His ideal furry companion would be a gentle, easygoing dog who enjoys a good sunbathe more than a wrestling match. But he's also totally fine being your one and only as well. Chorizo would also do best in a home with no kitty friends as well.
Chorizo would love to be with a semi active family in a home with a backyard where he can sunbathe anytime he wants, roll in the grass, explore all the fun smells, and play with toys. He would make a great companion while you garden and relax on the patio enjoying the fresh air. We could also even see him being good in an apartment too. He is quiet in his crate, walks easy on a leash, and wouldn't be bothered passing by other dogs in those smaller apartment hallways. He has great house manners and from what we have seen, he is fully potty trained. He makes himself feel right at home, finding a nice cozy spot to lay down and bonus points if that spot is snuggled up next to you. He knows basic command such as sit and is eager to make his person happy!
Overall, Chorizo is a very adaptable boy that just likes to be with his person(s) and be included in your life. If you’re looking for a total snuggle bug, your partner in crime and your next adventure buddy, Chorizo is definitely your guy! He is a loving and loyal companion to all looking for his fur-ever family.
We are willing to test Chorizo Bandito with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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.
