💞 Meet Dolly! 💞
Say hello to Dolly — our tall, lanky, floppy-eared beauty who’s equal parts elegance and goofball. We think she’s a Doberman–Shepherd mix, but whatever she is, it’s 100% adorable. She’s got the shiny black-and-tan coat, those soulful brown eyes that look right into your heart, and a pair of ears that have a personality all their own (sometimes they stand up, sometimes they do their own thing — we don’t ask questions).
At about a year and a half old, Dolly is that perfect mix of young and playful, yet gentle and sweet. She’s a little shy when meeting new people, but once she decides you’re her person? Game over — she’s smitten. You’ll get tail wags, soft nuzzles, and that “I love you already” look that will make you melt into a puddle. She’s affectionate in her own way — she’ll come in for pets and snuggles, then prance off to entertain herself for a bit before circling back for more love. It’s like she knows how to keep you hooked.

Dolly is obsessed with her dog friends — she absolutely lights up when she sees another pup! She loves to run, wrestle, and play tag, and she’s got that perfect balance of energy and manners. She’s not pushy, but once she’s comfortable, she’s the queen of zoomies. She’d be so happy in a home with another playful, easygoing dog who loves to have fun but also knows when to chill.
And oh, the toys. Don’t even get us started on the toys. Dolly takes her toys everywhere — she’ll proudly carry one around like a prized possession, gently hold it in her mouth during naps, or trot around the house showing it off like, “Yes, this is my emotional support squeaky, thank you for noticing.” Fetch is her absolute jam — she’ll chase, bring it back (mostly), and look so proud of herself you can’t help but cheer her on.
She’s also an angel on leash — easy, polite, and happy to stroll beside you. She’s super treat-motivated and picks up on things fast, which means she’ll be so much fun to train. She’s got that perfect “eager-to-please but slightly derpy” energy that makes every little learning moment adorable.
Dolly would do best in a home with older kids (12+) who understand that she needs a bit of space to warm up — once she’s comfy, she’s a total lovebug. She’d also prefer a cat-free home, because, well… cats are just too interesting for her!
She could easily thrive in either an apartment or a house — she’s adaptable and just wants to be near her people. A quiet home with time to settle in and a cozy spot for her naps would make her one happy girl.
Dolly is the kind of dog who brings calm, joy, and laughter into a room without even trying. She’s got a gentle heart, a silly spirit, and a way of making every day brighter. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you smiling, fill your home with love, and maybe hand you a slobbery toy or two — Dolly is your girl. 💕

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.
