This sweet angel is Lizzie! You don’t want to miss out on this big girl with an even bigger heart! We believe Lizzie is an XL American Bully mix—of course, with rescue, that’s just our best guess! At 5 years old, she’s still a big goofball who brings laughs and love everywhere she goes. Especially with her famous happy hops. She just hops and hops around the house when she’s happy to see you! Gosh, my cheeks hurt just thinking about how big I’d be smiling if I came home to that every day! Maybe there’s some bunny DNA in there?
Lizzie is smart as a whip—she knows sit and even shake! She never says no to a snack (like, ever), which makes training fun and easy for everyone involved. And by everyone, we mean kids too! Lizzie recently met a baby and an 8-year-old and definitely prefers the older kiddos who are steady on their feet. She was so gentle taking treats from the 8-year-old, and they ended their meet-up with a cuddle sesh on the couch. Her cuddles? Immaculate. Though she does think she’s a lap dog… classic Lizzie!

Bath time? No problem! She’s a champ and enjoys the extra pampering. She’s fully housebroken, trusted to free roam, and has never been destructive (even with toys!). At night, she cozies up in bed, but she’s also crate trained and does well when crated.
Lizzie is still working on her leash skills, so a home with a yard would be ideal while she perfects her walk game. She’s a big girl who loves to sniff around, sunbathe on the porch, and chill nearby while you sip your morning coffee or putter around the garden. Wherever you are, Lizzie just wants to be part of it.
She's that kind of dog—the one who makes everything better just by being there.
To set Lizzie up for success, she’s looking for an experienced handler who can confidently guide her in her next chapter. While she adores her people, Lizzie is looking to be the one and only pet in the home—a queen without competition! She thrives in a calm, structured environment where she can feel safe, loved, and totally doted on (her favorite thing).
Ready to welcome a lovable, goofy, sunbathing, ride-or-die girl into your life? Lizzie's waiting with a heart full of love and the best happy hops you've ever seen.

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.
