Meet Lucille — the one-year-old dynamo of love, laughter, and wiggles with ears so enormous and perky, they practically have their own zip code!
This tan-and-white beauty with the cutest little black freckles around her eyes is a puppy powerhouse with a heart full of love and the goofiest, sweetest personality you could ever meet. She’s affectionate, playful, and totally adores people — but don’t worry, she can also chill like a pro when it’s time to snuggle or relax. Whether you’re giving belly rubs, tossing treats, or just hanging out on the couch, Lucille is happiest when she’s by your side, soaking up all the love she can get. We think she's a bull terrier/shepherd mix, but with rescue it's always a guess!
Lucille is a social butterfly with her doggy friends too — she loves playtime, zoomies, body bumps, and even little acrobatic leaps over her pals’ backs. She knows how to match the energy of her buddies, taking breaks when the confident ones do, but she’s always ready to turn the fun up to full-on puppy party mode when the moment calls for it. She’s super smart, treat-motivated, and eager to learn, which makes her leash training and house manners a fun challenge — plus, she’ll probably charm you into giving her extra treats just for being cute (which is basically her superpower).

Lucille’s perfect home is one that can keep up with her puppy energy while also giving her the space to relax and snuggle. She’d thrive with a confident medium-energy dog buddy to play, run, and adventure with — someone who can join her in zoomies, wrestling matches, and backyard sprints. She’s cat-tolerant as long as the kitty is calm, and she’d do best with older kids or adults who understand that while she’s playful and exuberant, she also needs some chill time to recharge.
This girl is basically a living, breathing adventure buddy: perfect for hikes, runs, walks, trips to the park, or spontaneous play sessions in the yard. She’s also an expert lap-sitter, belly-rub enthusiast, and professional snuggle partner when the adventures are done. Lucille’s loving, silly, and full of personality — she’ll make you laugh, steal your heart, and bring endless joy to every day.
In short: if you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, energetic, snuggly, treat-loving, zoomie-expert best friend who can play hard, love harder, and chill like a champ, Lucille 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.
