Hope is one of those dogs who doesn’t run into anything …. Except treats. Once she realizes you might have a snack or gentle hands ready for pets her soft personality shines through. She loves affection, belly rubs, and she’s happiest just being near her people soaking up love at her own pace.
Treats are absolutely her favorite thing and she’ll gladly show off her manners for one.She also enjoys toys and had fun playing with them, but overall hope is more of a laid-back relaxed girl than a rowdy one. She walks nicely on a leash and would be perfectly content with a few strolls a day followed by long naps.

Hope is believed to be an American pitbull terrier -American Staffordshire terrier mix. She is around six years old and weighs about 51 pounds. She is people friendly but appreciates a moment to warm up and once she does, she’s incredibly sweet and affectionate.
Hope is more of an aloof, independent lady when it comes to other dogs, she coexist very well calmly sharing yards, allowing sniffs and minding her business,she doesn’t seek out play time, she tolerates other dogs nicely. She would be happy as an only dog, but could also live with a low energy, respectful dog who understands personal space.
She is quiet, calm, and low-key - making her a great candidate for an apartment with regular walks and enrichment. She did a cat test with us and allowed the cat to sniff her closely without reaction, though the test was inconclusive and further testing would be needed because it is a new environment with a lot of things already going on. She has not been kid tested either, but we believe she would be best with older kids who understand boundaries and respect a dog space.
Hope in a nutshell:
Calm
Quiet
Affectionate
Treat lover
Queen of belly rubs
Hope is the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much only kindness, patience, and of course, treats. In return, she offers, quiet loyalty, gentle love, and the sweetest companionship.

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.
