Story
🌼 Meet Sadie Sue — your gentle little sunshine bug 🌼
Sadie Sue is a six-month-old squishy-eared cuddle muffin who looks like she was handcrafted out of velvet and kindness. She’s got the floppiest ears that are absolutely one size too big for her head, the softest warm eyes, and a tiny white speckled triangle on her nose that makes her look like she dipped her snout in powdered sugar. She is so adorable it should count as a superpower.

Sadie is a sweet, gentle, thoughtful little soul who LOVES other dogs. Her best friend ever is a lovely girl named Honey — the calm, goofy, polite type — and watching them together was instant serotonin. Honey invited her to play. Sadie hopped up on the couch with her, and they sat side-by-side like old friends at brunch. She made a whole group of dog friends — Leroy, Honey, and Charlie — all confident, respectful pups who invited her into their little circle. Sadie Sue really finds her courage around calm, self-assured dogs, and a playful but respectful dog buddy would help her blossom beautifully.
She also did amazing with the kitty friend she met — Biggie! Biggie gave her a sniff, she sniffed him back, and then Sadie Sue calmly wandered away like, “Nice to meet you, sir.” They even free-roamed together with the leash dropped, exploring the same corners of the room in the sweetest, chill way. She was polite, curious, and respectful — so a kitty sleepover is absolutely recommended to make sure Biggie’s cousins approve too.
She was lovely with kids as well — calm, gentle, and totally appropriate. She let them sit next to her on the couch and accepted affection sweetly. We’d recommend older or mature kiddos (around 8+) who can understand giving her space at first and moving slowly.
Now for what makes Sadie Sue extra special: she’s a slow-bloom kind of girl, the type who warms up in layers. Once she trusts you, she’s soft, loyal, and absolutely precious, but she’ll need a little extra time and patience to get comfortable in her new world. She’s brand-new to leash pressure and still figuring out how to be brave on walks, so she will do best in a home with a yard rather than an apartment — somewhere quiet, safe, and roomy where she can learn at her own pace. A generous decompression period will help her settle in and start showing her true goofy, gentle self.
Sadie Sue takes treats like a delicate little flower, loves other respectful animals, and has all the makings of a deeply loving, heart-warming companion. If you’re the kind of family who celebrates the soft, sweet victories — a tail wag, a gentle lean, a quiet moment of trust — Sadie Sue will be the most rewarding, unforgettable girl you’ve ever loved.

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.
