Story
Looking for a professional cuddler who actually enjoys Monday morning meetings? Johnny is officially open for applications and ready to clock into your heart!
Johnny is a whirlwind of wagging tails and pure joy wrapped in a small scruffy package. This little guy doesn't just walk into a room; he enters it with the confidence of a puppy who knows he’s the cutest thing on four legs! Whether he’s showing off his dapper little tie or giving you the look that says he deserves an extra treat, Johnny’s mission in life is to keep you laughing. He’s the ultimate velcro dog, meaning your personal space is now our personal space, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
Watch Johnny’s adoption video fair warning: side effects include immediate smiling!

We suspect Johnny is a Border Terrier mix, but like all the best things in life, he’s a bit of a mystery! At a compact 10 pounds, he’s the perfect size for tucking under your arm or taking along for a Saturday morning coffee run. He’s a small dog with a big dog heart, making him easy to transport but impossible to forget. Of course, with rescue pups, the "breed" is our best guess, but his talent for being adorable is 100% verified!
Johnny has been busy learning the ropes in his foster home and is proving to be a star student. He’s a fan of car rides, window down, ears flapping! and is getting the hang of his crate like a pro. Whether there are kids around to play with or just a quiet couch to claim, Johnny adapts to the vibe of the room faster than you can say good boy.
When it comes to other dogs, Johnny is the more, the merrier kind of guy! He thrives in the company of other pups and would love a home with a fur sibling to show him the ropes. He’d be best paired with a dog who matches his playful, medium to high energy level, someone who isn't afraid of a little friendly wrestling or a game of tag in the hallway. He is also a total superstar on his own and would be more than happy to thrive as your one and only, soaking up every single ounce of your undivided attention!
What about the resident house lions? Our boy is curious and friendly! He seems to think cats are just small, slightly grumpier dogs who haven't realized how fun he is yet. While he’s shown great potential, every cat is different, so he might need a supervised "pajama party" sleepover with a kitty to make sure they’re going to be the best of friends.
Johnny is a versatile little dude! Because of his portable size, he could easily thrive in an apartment setting as long as he gets his daily walks, but he certainly wouldn’t turn down a yard to zoom around in. His ideal home is anywhere his humans are. One thing is for sure: with those big eyes and that scruffy chin, he’s going to be the talk of the neighborhood.
Johnny is the perfect blend of scruffy, sweet, and silly, just waiting for a family to call his own. He’s ready to trade in his foster tie for a forever collar!

We proudly have over 17,000 successful adoptions and excellent Google Reviews: 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.
