Story
You know those people that plan their whole day around making sure their dog feels included and adored? Be prepared for that to be you! This is Skye and she is gentle, kind, a calm presence, tender hearted, and a delight to have around!
Skye is so fortunate and is being fostered in a loving home where she is learning the rhythm of home, and office life beautifully!In her foster home, she’s discovering what it means to have “housemates” (a heeler, corgi, and terrier!), and “landmates” in the form of chickens, horses, barn cats and cows. No matter what the situation, she approaches with a sweet, soft curiosity.
She is estimated to be 6 months old, currently weighs 21 lbs and her looks make us believe she is a cattle dog mix. Do not be alarmed by that "breed" they have a reputation but this girl is not the full-speed ahead, bossy herding type, you may think of. Her look would have you believe she is a cattle dog type but we are convinced that is just in looks- Skye is more of a thoughtful little observer with a gentle nature.

Skye’s foster has been giving her exactly the kind of life that helps a dog blossom- riding in the truck, tagging along to work, visiting family (complete with bonus dogs), and popping by places like feed stores so she can slowly build confidence in the world. Skye has already shown she can do well with other dogs, and she could also thrive as a solo pup, as long as she still gets regular “life exposure” and easy-going adventures like she’s getting now. She enjoys having doggie friends around, and has learned how to be part of the group in a way that feels friendly, safe and easy.
At home, Skye is doing so well with routine. She’s kennel trained and sleeps in her kennel in the bedroom, and she’s been holding it overnight like a champ (think 10:30pm to around 5:30am). She is also house trained thanks to frequent trips outside,lots of praise, and the occasional reminder of the task at hand when the world gets a little distracting. She is a puppy after all. . Skye is also proving herself to be a polite houseguest- she’s not a big barker, she’s not destructive, and she’s responsive and easy to guide on leash, with a nice natural understanding of leash pressure.
Skye’s “farm résumé” is pretty impressive too. Chickens? Fine. Horses? Fine. Barn cat? Also fine. In both foster life and during the time we spent with her during a recent visit, she showed that lovely, respectful neutrality around cats and other animals, the kind of calm that makes multi-pet homes breathe easier.
Skye would love a home that keeps things steady and supportive while she continues growing and learning. A yard would be wonderful for easy potty breaks and peaceful exploring time, but her foster believes she could be apartment-friendly too, especially with consistent outings and a predictable routine. If there are kids in the home, Skye’s best match would be gentle, respectful kiddos who understand that a soft-hearted pup does best when introductions are calm and the world isn’t turned up to full volume everyday..
If you’re looking for a sweet, steady sidekick, Skye is ready and waiting!

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.
