OH MY GOODNESS! Y'all there is nothing we love more than a squishy, compact-sized, forever puppy face short king and Bourbon Baby is exactly that! He has the type of face that makes you almost get that uncontrollable urge to squeeze their squishy little face, as if their cuteness is too much for your heart to handle. Like your love for them is just bursting out in an adorable, squishy explosion! That's what it's like when you meet Bourbon Baby. You know it's ridiculous, but you just can't help but want to smoosh them because he's that adorable. We haven't even gotten to all of the best parts though! He is living proof that good things come in small, squishy packages.
Watch his video and fall in love with this cute little guy: https://youtu.be/JXMKgTtTYqw?si=GFj89zT-G2gN6YLu
Bourbon Baby is believed to be a Pittie/lab mix approximately 1 years old and currently weighs 46 lbs. Don't let that number fool you though, he is a short king with little legs and barely comes up to your knee! He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Bourbon is very dog friendly and has done great with every dog we have introduced him to. This little fella brings the party vibes to all the playgroups and has the absolute best time of his life. When he plays, he's the type that will play chase, zoom around as fast as he can, and bounce around like a bunny rabbit. Watching him play, you can't help but have a smile on your face because of how much fun he is having. Especially when he is playing chase! Y'all, watching him zoom around, running as fast as he can, seeing those little legs of his trying to keep up is such a joy to watch. You can't help but smile. Surely in his mind, he believes he's zooming in full turbo speed but in reality, he's not going that fast LOL but he tries.
Bourbon knows when to take play breaks and also appreciates those relaxing moments as well, so no need to worry about your house turning into a 24/7 daycare. This guy definitely has an appreciation for nap time and tuckers out quickly. In a home, he would do best with a doggy friend that is goofy and silly just like himself, one that doesn't take things too seriously, enjoys a game of chase, likes to wrestle, and also appreciates those calmer moments. If you don't have other dogs, that's fine too! He does not need the company of another dog to keep him company or to satisfy his energy needs. Once he's past that initial shyness, he is a total love bug and has no problem matching whatever energy you need from him. Bourbon would also do best in a kitty-free home.
He would thrive in a home with a backyard where he can practice his mini zooms, sunbathe during those beautiful summer days, and explore all the smells. He also has the potential to thrive in an apartment/condo setting as well with the proper exercise and socialization. He doesn’t need much, just a long walk to the park or even some in-home mental stimulation puzzles. We see him being a great work-from-home buddy, lazy Sunday movie marathon date, and an easygoing companion to take with you on a leisurely walk around the neighborhood. He's a simple man that doesn't require much to make him happy. He’s the best of both worlds
We are willing to test Bourbon Baby with anything you need 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.
