Story
If you're looking for a best friend with the absolute best smile and a sugary sweet affectionate soul, meet Tango the kissy Dancer. This boy is the full package: loyal, playful, soooo loving, and a total goofball with the pittie head that’ll make you fall in love at first sight! We believe Tango is a Boxer/Pittie mix around 9 months old and weighs approximately 45 pounds. He has the perfect little compact body and the most handsome face ever. Due to him being a rescue, age and breed are our best guess and cannot be guaranteed. Check out Tango here: https://youtu.be/CS4K0UqmYSs Tango has never met a stranger. He’s the kind of dog who walks into a room and instantly makes everyone feel like they’ve been best friends for years. And if you’ve got treats? Well, buckle up, because you’ve just become the center of his universe. He was not shy giving everyone at the property his undivided attention for a quick round of kisses and puppy tail wags. Treats are the way to this boy’s heart, and he’ll show his appreciation with his signature toothy grin and the happiest tail wag you’ve ever seen. His love for people runs deep. His foster says her favorite thing about him is how he’ll climb into her lap and just gaze at her like she’s the most important person in the world. He is cuddly beyond belief and would absolutely thrive in a home where he can curl up next to you, soaking in all the love you have to give. Tango has lived harmoniously with a full dog squad, four pups in total, and he's been the life of the party. Whether it’s his dominant older foster sister, his high-energy lab buddy, or two playful 1.5-year-old boys. He knows how to read the room and match energy. He plays respectfully, knows when to follow the rules, and can roughhouse with the best of them. He also attends a daycare where he mingles like a pro with a group of 20-30 dogs. His best friends there? A Doberman and another pittie. He really shines around dogs his size or playful puppies who love a good game of chase. He would thrive in a home with another medium energy dog to spend his days with. After a bit of play, Tango knows how to settle down. One of our favorite moments with him was after the crowd cleared and he just hung out with us in a quiet room, relaxed and content, soaking up some one-on-one time. He’ll make a great adventure buddy followed by an evening relaxing on the couch. He walks beautifully on leash and would be the kind of dog you take to the park, patio, or trail and know he’ll be right by your side, smiling the whole way. At home, he’s crate trained and sleeps through the night like a champ. He would do best in a home with a yard to run off his zoomies, and we can easily see him thriving with older, dog-savvy kids who’ll love him as much as he loves them. If there is a certain age that you are curious to know how Tango interacts with, let us know. We will be happy to find out. We want to make sure he is perfect for your family! Cats, however, are not his cup of tea. He’s all about the people and the pups. He doesn’t need much to be happy, just a little space to play, a lap to lean into, and someone to share his big heart with. Tango is the definition of man’s best friend, but really, he’s everyone’s best friend. If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving, treat-motivated cuddle machine with the biggest heart and a head you’ll want to smooch daily, Tango the kissy Dancer is ready to two-step his way right into your life.

Story
Meet George, a 9-month-old goofball with a heart full of love and a body that seems to be powered entirely by joy. George is the kind of puppy who believes the world exists to be loved, kissed, and played with, preferably all at once. From the moment you meet him, he wiggles his whole squishy little body straight into your space, climbs right into your lap, and reminds you that no one is a stranger—just a friend he hasn’t kissed yet. His sweet, goofy puppy smile and endlessly wagging, longgg tail (which functions more like a propeller) make it impossible not to fall for him instantly. George absolutely adores people. He is affectionate, cuddly, and so eager to be part of whatever you’re doing. He would be thrilled to be your shadow, your couch companion, your adventure buddy, and your reason to laugh every single day. Despite his busy puppy energy, he has a soft, loving side and is happiest when he’s close to his humans, soaking up attention and giving out kisses like it’s his full-time job. Watch his video, then you'll officially be in love! https://youtu.be/slAlUsSrZpc?si=DIMvZoA5PTxIgSY2 When George isn’t loving on his people, he is playing—because play is truly his greatest passion in life. He is incredibly dog-friendly and greets every dog the exact same way: an immediate play bow, lots of kisses, and then straight into joyful chaos. Confident dogs, shy dogs, playful dogs, aloof dogs—George loves them all. He is a rough-and-rowdy, pushy puppy player who thrives with dogs that enjoy that style of play. He loves running, chasing games, tug, sharing toys, and even lazy play sessions. One of his most endearing quirks is his signature move of ducking under things like they’re his own personal tunnels, because clearly that’s the more fun route. George currently lives with multiple dogs and does great in a pack, and he would absolutely love having dog siblings in his future home. That said, he also loves his people just as much and could be happy as an only dog if his humans are ready to keep him engaged and active. George is still very much a puppy and comes with all that happy, bouncy energy. He walks beautifully on leash and checks in constantly, turning to you with eye contact when you say “let’s go,” making him a wonderful companion for walks, outings, and adventures. He would be the perfect dog to take everywhere with you, always ready for the next experience as long as he’s by your side. He does live with cats and approaches them with sweet, goofy intentions, but he can be a little too playful at times. He doesn’t want to harm them—he just wants them to play, endlessly, even when they are very clearly done. Because of this, a cat-free home would be ideal. However, we do think he could go into a home with kitty friends. If he were to live with cats, he would need a playful dog companion to redirect his energy, along with cats who have safe spaces to escape and take a break. George loves kids and does well with them, but he is a growing boy with a lot of enthusiasm and can be a bit rough in his excitement. Older kids who can handle his bouncy play and occasional hops of love would be the best fit. He would be an amazing family dog; he’s playful and cuddly, the perfect formula for a kiddo’s best friend! As for his future home, George is an extremely adaptable pup. He could do well in an apartment with an active family or in a home with a yard where he can zoom and burn off some of that puppy energy. Continued training will help him channel all that excitement, but his eagerness to engage and love people makes him a joy to work with. George is, at his core, a silly, affectionate, playful little soul who wants nothing more than to love hard and live life to the fullest. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you moving, and love you with his entire wiggly body, George is ready to be your best friend. 💙 Ready to welcome this goofball into your life?

Story
One thing is certain with Chanel Belle, this girly loves to love and she adores people. She is the type that will lay snuggled up on the couch with you on a lazy Sunday watching your favorite show and the type that will be your little helper while you do things around the house or in the yard. Chanel Belle is the perfect example of a dog that is just happy to be with you, no matter where you are. She loves every single person that she meets and tries to give them a hug. Her whole body wiggles and her docked tail is moving at maximum speed. It's so cute! Watch her video and see the cutest wigglebutt ever: https://youtu.be/D5KmlZKgcYc?si=30x2vnHXEbukalsR Chanel Belle is believed to be a pittie/boxer mix approximately 4 years old and currently weighs 58lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery, and we cannot guarantee breed or age. We do think she may have some sort of boxer or bully type breed somewhere in there because she has a cute little under bite that pokes out from time to time. Chanel is dog friendly and has been around a variety of different dogs all with different personalities and temperaments. She is not the playful type with other dogs and is more of a relaxed hangout type of girly that prefers to get attention from people. She is happy to be around dogs that have the same cool, calm, collected tempo as her. Chanel also appreciates being around dogs that give her space at the beginning to get to know them first. She's a polite and respectful gal that likes for the same energy to be reciprocated. Once’s she’s comfortable, she does the cutest little play bows and loves to zoom around with her new friend in light hearted games of chase. In a home, she would do best with a mellow male dog that enjoys the company of other dogs and isn't looking for a playmate, only looking for company. She'll be perfect for that! Chanel also does not need another dog in the home, so no worries there if you don't have a dog. She is so loving and affectionate that she has enough love to give that is equivalent to 3 dogs combined. She's something special! Chanel would also do best in a home with no cats as she was a little too interested in our house cat Biggie. When it comes to training, Chanel is ready and eager to learn! She loves treats and already knows a few basic commands such a sit and I'm fairly certain she has the foundation of already knowing how to sit pretty. You could probably even teach her how to dance too LOL. Chanel is fairly easy to walk on a leash and only pulls every so often. She responds well to correction and with consistency and practice she'll be walking like a queen on leash. Chanel has wonderful house manners and is crate and potty trained. Her only request is that you let her snuggle on the couch with you. Chanel would thrive in a home with a semi-active family that enjoys going on walks around the neighborhood and is looking for a super affectionate girly. If you're someone that likes to host and have people over, Chanel will be the very first one to greet your guest. Not feeling super social one day? That's fine by Chanel, she'll be happy wherever you are. We also believe that she would be thrilled for her home to have a backyard where she can stretch her legs, enjoy the sunshine, and meander around with you while you work on your garden or do things around the yard. Chanel would also make great companion for a family with kids! She loves loves loves kids! In her mind, they are just tiny humans with tiny hands that will love on her just the same as adults. Chanel loves car rides and happily jumps right in. Her foster mom says she is amazed that even her dog, Milo, can learn a thing or two from her. Her being non reactive to her surroundings while out and about makes her an enjoyable dog to take places. We are willing to test Chanel Belle with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We cane make anything happen! Just let us know.

Story
Ann Marie is really too distinguished of a name for someone who wiggles and snorts the way this girl does. Ann Marie is a (unofficial) Certified 1st Place Snuggler. She hasn’t shown anyone the ribbon but she will show you how she secured the title, all you have to do is sit down somewhere, she will seek you. Take a look at this sweet lady here then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/tVMnFCPCWe0 When she isn’t putting the snuggle moves on you she can usually be found rolling around on her back like it’s her very own happy dance, or snoozing away in her dog bed. Ann Marie is estimated to be 7-8 years old, possibly a boxer/ pittie mix, and she weighs 50 lbs. Of course, given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or birthday. This girl knows a thing or two because she has seen a thing or two, she has earned her opinions. For example,, people are awesome, other dogs are just meh. It's similar to a feeling I see plenty of people develop as we get older… other adults-meh, dogs- heck yes! So don’t fault her, she can be polite and coexist but where she really wants to be is with the people. She’s great with kids, her foster’s 12-year-old daughter is her best-snuggle -buddy and she’s done well with other dogs when introductions are slow and respectful. Anne Marie is confident and prefers low-energy, chill, canine companions, ideally a calm male who respects the fact that she is slow to warm up, or she would be just as happy soaking up the spotlight as your one-and-only. High-energy dogs or pushy playmates are not for her. Anne Marie isn’t needy, but she thrives on your presence. She’s house-trained, non-destructive, rides well in the car, and has an easy, leisurely pace on leash. She doesn’t need long walks, just short strolls, lots of love, and plenty of couch time. Can we say low-maintenance together? Low-maintenance. That’s the best way to describe her. While she’s lived around cats before, she can get too interested in chasing a playful cat, so a cat-free home would be best. Anne Marie would be a wonderful companion for someone who wants a loving, affectionate, mellow best friend. She’s ready to spend her golden years giving all her love-and she has so much of it to give. Come home to the most delightful dog with her happy wiggle-butt and piggy-snorts and watch your worries disappear. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Meet Mabel, the brindle-and-white beauty with a heart as soft as her favorite squeaky toy! 💖 Mabel is a boxer-pitty mix (breed not promised!) with golden eyes that sparkle with sweetness and just a hint of sass. She’s the total package — equal parts gentle snugglebug and goofy playmate. Her dream day? Snoozing on a cozy couch, collecting belly rubs, squeaking her beloved stuffies to her heart’s content, and basking in the love of her people. Mabel is the kind of girl who gives her whole heart once she trusts you — she just takes a minute to make sure you’re as kind as you look. Once she knows you’re safe, get ready for the melt-your-heart cuddles and her signature “Mabel lean,” where she presses her whole body against you for hugs. She loves love and is the perfect match for someone who wants a calm, affectionate companion who’s happiest just being near you. Watch Mabel in action here! https://youtu.be/tWLIvDsTjH8?si=5UhqFJb2MAA5_K-f She enjoys the company of other dogs who have good manners — she’s kind of like the hall monitor of the playgroup, gently reminding everyone to keep things civilized. 😆 She has a soft spot for respectful, chill doggy friends but could just as happily be the only spoiled princess soaking up all the attention herself. Mabel also met a kitty friend and did great — she was curious but polite, choosing to quietly observe instead of chase. With a slow introduction and some supervision, she could share her home with a confident cat buddy. This gorgeous girl is low-energy at heart, more of a “Netflix-and-snack” gal than a “5-mile-hike” type. She’s gentle, easy to correct, and loves routine. Because she can get a little unsure of other dogs while on leash, she’d do best in a home (no apartments, please!) where she can relax and enjoy life without too many leashed meet-and-greets. If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful companion with the perfect mix of cuddle and character, Mabel’s your girl. 💕 One look into those golden eyes, and you’ll be absolutely smitten — promise. Mabel’s dream home: Calm, loving humans, maybe a respectful dog friend or a cat, a cozy couch, and endless squeaky toys. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
If you're looking for a best friend with the absolute best smile and a sugary sweet affectionate soul, meet Tango the kissy Dancer. This boy is the full package: loyal, playful, soooo loving, and a total goofball with the pittie head that’ll make you fall in love at first sight! We believe Tango is a Boxer/Pittie mix around 9 months old and weighs approximately 45 pounds. He has the perfect little compact body and the most handsome face ever. Due to him being a rescue, age and breed are our best guess and cannot be guaranteed. Check out Tango here: https://youtu.be/CS4K0UqmYSs Tango has never met a stranger. He’s the kind of dog who walks into a room and instantly makes everyone feel like they’ve been best friends for years. And if you’ve got treats? Well, buckle up, because you’ve just become the center of his universe. He was not shy giving everyone at the property his undivided attention for a quick round of kisses and puppy tail wags. Treats are the way to this boy’s heart, and he’ll show his appreciation with his signature toothy grin and the happiest tail wag you’ve ever seen. His love for people runs deep. His foster says her favorite thing about him is how he’ll climb into her lap and just gaze at her like she’s the most important person in the world. He is cuddly beyond belief and would absolutely thrive in a home where he can curl up next to you, soaking in all the love you have to give. Tango has lived harmoniously with a full dog squad, four pups in total, and he's been the life of the party. Whether it’s his dominant older foster sister, his high-energy lab buddy, or two playful 1.5-year-old boys. He knows how to read the room and match energy. He plays respectfully, knows when to follow the rules, and can roughhouse with the best of them. He also attends a daycare where he mingles like a pro with a group of 20-30 dogs. His best friends there? A Doberman and another pittie. He really shines around dogs his size or playful puppies who love a good game of chase. He would thrive in a home with another medium energy dog to spend his days with. After a bit of play, Tango knows how to settle down. One of our favorite moments with him was after the crowd cleared and he just hung out with us in a quiet room, relaxed and content, soaking up some one-on-one time. He’ll make a great adventure buddy followed by an evening relaxing on the couch. He walks beautifully on leash and would be the kind of dog you take to the park, patio, or trail and know he’ll be right by your side, smiling the whole way. At home, he’s crate trained and sleeps through the night like a champ. He would do best in a home with a yard to run off his zoomies, and we can easily see him thriving with older, dog-savvy kids who’ll love him as much as he loves them. If there is a certain age that you are curious to know how Tango interacts with, let us know. We will be happy to find out. We want to make sure he is perfect for your family! Cats, however, are not his cup of tea. He’s all about the people and the pups. He doesn’t need much to be happy, just a little space to play, a lap to lean into, and someone to share his big heart with. Tango is the definition of man’s best friend, but really, he’s everyone’s best friend. If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving, treat-motivated cuddle machine with the biggest heart and a head you’ll want to smooch daily, Tango the kissy Dancer is ready to two-step his way right into your life.

Story
Meet George, a 9-month-old goofball with a heart full of love and a body that seems to be powered entirely by joy. George is the kind of puppy who believes the world exists to be loved, kissed, and played with, preferably all at once. From the moment you meet him, he wiggles his whole squishy little body straight into your space, climbs right into your lap, and reminds you that no one is a stranger—just a friend he hasn’t kissed yet. His sweet, goofy puppy smile and endlessly wagging, longgg tail (which functions more like a propeller) make it impossible not to fall for him instantly. George absolutely adores people. He is affectionate, cuddly, and so eager to be part of whatever you’re doing. He would be thrilled to be your shadow, your couch companion, your adventure buddy, and your reason to laugh every single day. Despite his busy puppy energy, he has a soft, loving side and is happiest when he’s close to his humans, soaking up attention and giving out kisses like it’s his full-time job. Watch his video, then you'll officially be in love! https://youtu.be/slAlUsSrZpc?si=DIMvZoA5PTxIgSY2 When George isn’t loving on his people, he is playing—because play is truly his greatest passion in life. He is incredibly dog-friendly and greets every dog the exact same way: an immediate play bow, lots of kisses, and then straight into joyful chaos. Confident dogs, shy dogs, playful dogs, aloof dogs—George loves them all. He is a rough-and-rowdy, pushy puppy player who thrives with dogs that enjoy that style of play. He loves running, chasing games, tug, sharing toys, and even lazy play sessions. One of his most endearing quirks is his signature move of ducking under things like they’re his own personal tunnels, because clearly that’s the more fun route. George currently lives with multiple dogs and does great in a pack, and he would absolutely love having dog siblings in his future home. That said, he also loves his people just as much and could be happy as an only dog if his humans are ready to keep him engaged and active. George is still very much a puppy and comes with all that happy, bouncy energy. He walks beautifully on leash and checks in constantly, turning to you with eye contact when you say “let’s go,” making him a wonderful companion for walks, outings, and adventures. He would be the perfect dog to take everywhere with you, always ready for the next experience as long as he’s by your side. He does live with cats and approaches them with sweet, goofy intentions, but he can be a little too playful at times. He doesn’t want to harm them—he just wants them to play, endlessly, even when they are very clearly done. Because of this, a cat-free home would be ideal. However, we do think he could go into a home with kitty friends. If he were to live with cats, he would need a playful dog companion to redirect his energy, along with cats who have safe spaces to escape and take a break. George loves kids and does well with them, but he is a growing boy with a lot of enthusiasm and can be a bit rough in his excitement. Older kids who can handle his bouncy play and occasional hops of love would be the best fit. He would be an amazing family dog; he’s playful and cuddly, the perfect formula for a kiddo’s best friend! As for his future home, George is an extremely adaptable pup. He could do well in an apartment with an active family or in a home with a yard where he can zoom and burn off some of that puppy energy. Continued training will help him channel all that excitement, but his eagerness to engage and love people makes him a joy to work with. George is, at his core, a silly, affectionate, playful little soul who wants nothing more than to love hard and live life to the fullest. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you moving, and love you with his entire wiggly body, George is ready to be your best friend. 💙 Ready to welcome this goofball into your life?

One thing is certain with Chanel Belle, this girly loves to love and she adores people. She is the type that will lay snuggled up on the couch with you on a lazy Sunday watching your favorite show and the type that will be your little helper while you do things around the house or in the yard. Chanel Belle is the perfect example of a dog that is just happy to be with you, no matter where you are. She loves every single person that she meets and tries to give them a hug. Her whole body wiggles and her docked tail is moving at maximum speed. It's so cute! Watch her video and see the cutest wigglebutt ever: https://youtu.be/D5KmlZKgcYc?si=30x2vnHXEbukalsR Chanel Belle is believed to be a pittie/boxer mix approximately 4 years old and currently weighs 58lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery, and we cannot guarantee breed or age. We do think she may have some sort of boxer or bully type breed somewhere in there because she has a cute little under bite that pokes out from time to time. Chanel is dog friendly and has been around a variety of different dogs all with different personalities and temperaments. She is not the playful type with other dogs and is more of a relaxed hangout type of girly that prefers to get attention from people. She is happy to be around dogs that have the same cool, calm, collected tempo as her. Chanel also appreciates being around dogs that give her space at the beginning to get to know them first. She's a polite and respectful gal that likes for the same energy to be reciprocated. Once’s she’s comfortable, she does the cutest little play bows and loves to zoom around with her new friend in light hearted games of chase. In a home, she would do best with a mellow male dog that enjoys the company of other dogs and isn't looking for a playmate, only looking for company. She'll be perfect for that! Chanel also does not need another dog in the home, so no worries there if you don't have a dog. She is so loving and affectionate that she has enough love to give that is equivalent to 3 dogs combined. She's something special! Chanel would also do best in a home with no cats as she was a little too interested in our house cat Biggie. When it comes to training, Chanel is ready and eager to learn! She loves treats and already knows a few basic commands such a sit and I'm fairly certain she has the foundation of already knowing how to sit pretty. You could probably even teach her how to dance too LOL. Chanel is fairly easy to walk on a leash and only pulls every so often. She responds well to correction and with consistency and practice she'll be walking like a queen on leash. Chanel has wonderful house manners and is crate and potty trained. Her only request is that you let her snuggle on the couch with you. Chanel would thrive in a home with a semi-active family that enjoys going on walks around the neighborhood and is looking for a super affectionate girly. If you're someone that likes to host and have people over, Chanel will be the very first one to greet your guest. Not feeling super social one day? That's fine by Chanel, she'll be happy wherever you are. We also believe that she would be thrilled for her home to have a backyard where she can stretch her legs, enjoy the sunshine, and meander around with you while you work on your garden or do things around the yard. Chanel would also make great companion for a family with kids! She loves loves loves kids! In her mind, they are just tiny humans with tiny hands that will love on her just the same as adults. Chanel loves car rides and happily jumps right in. Her foster mom says she is amazed that even her dog, Milo, can learn a thing or two from her. Her being non reactive to her surroundings while out and about makes her an enjoyable dog to take places. We are willing to test Chanel Belle with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We cane make anything happen! Just let us know.

The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS: Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup! Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!

Story
Ann Marie is really too distinguished of a name for someone who wiggles and snorts the way this girl does. Ann Marie is a (unofficial) Certified 1st Place Snuggler. She hasn’t shown anyone the ribbon but she will show you how she secured the title, all you have to do is sit down somewhere, she will seek you. Take a look at this sweet lady here then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/tVMnFCPCWe0 When she isn’t putting the snuggle moves on you she can usually be found rolling around on her back like it’s her very own happy dance, or snoozing away in her dog bed. Ann Marie is estimated to be 7-8 years old, possibly a boxer/ pittie mix, and she weighs 50 lbs. Of course, given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or birthday. This girl knows a thing or two because she has seen a thing or two, she has earned her opinions. For example,, people are awesome, other dogs are just meh. It's similar to a feeling I see plenty of people develop as we get older… other adults-meh, dogs- heck yes! So don’t fault her, she can be polite and coexist but where she really wants to be is with the people. She’s great with kids, her foster’s 12-year-old daughter is her best-snuggle -buddy and she’s done well with other dogs when introductions are slow and respectful. Anne Marie is confident and prefers low-energy, chill, canine companions, ideally a calm male who respects the fact that she is slow to warm up, or she would be just as happy soaking up the spotlight as your one-and-only. High-energy dogs or pushy playmates are not for her. Anne Marie isn’t needy, but she thrives on your presence. She’s house-trained, non-destructive, rides well in the car, and has an easy, leisurely pace on leash. She doesn’t need long walks, just short strolls, lots of love, and plenty of couch time. Can we say low-maintenance together? Low-maintenance. That’s the best way to describe her. While she’s lived around cats before, she can get too interested in chasing a playful cat, so a cat-free home would be best. Anne Marie would be a wonderful companion for someone who wants a loving, affectionate, mellow best friend. She’s ready to spend her golden years giving all her love-and she has so much of it to give. Come home to the most delightful dog with her happy wiggle-butt and piggy-snorts and watch your worries disappear. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Meet Mabel, the brindle-and-white beauty with a heart as soft as her favorite squeaky toy! 💖 Mabel is a boxer-pitty mix (breed not promised!) with golden eyes that sparkle with sweetness and just a hint of sass. She’s the total package — equal parts gentle snugglebug and goofy playmate. Her dream day? Snoozing on a cozy couch, collecting belly rubs, squeaking her beloved stuffies to her heart’s content, and basking in the love of her people. Mabel is the kind of girl who gives her whole heart once she trusts you — she just takes a minute to make sure you’re as kind as you look. Once she knows you’re safe, get ready for the melt-your-heart cuddles and her signature “Mabel lean,” where she presses her whole body against you for hugs. She loves love and is the perfect match for someone who wants a calm, affectionate companion who’s happiest just being near you. Watch Mabel in action here! https://youtu.be/tWLIvDsTjH8?si=5UhqFJb2MAA5_K-f She enjoys the company of other dogs who have good manners — she’s kind of like the hall monitor of the playgroup, gently reminding everyone to keep things civilized. 😆 She has a soft spot for respectful, chill doggy friends but could just as happily be the only spoiled princess soaking up all the attention herself. Mabel also met a kitty friend and did great — she was curious but polite, choosing to quietly observe instead of chase. With a slow introduction and some supervision, she could share her home with a confident cat buddy. This gorgeous girl is low-energy at heart, more of a “Netflix-and-snack” gal than a “5-mile-hike” type. She’s gentle, easy to correct, and loves routine. Because she can get a little unsure of other dogs while on leash, she’d do best in a home (no apartments, please!) where she can relax and enjoy life without too many leashed meet-and-greets. If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful companion with the perfect mix of cuddle and character, Mabel’s your girl. 💕 One look into those golden eyes, and you’ll be absolutely smitten — promise. Mabel’s dream home: Calm, loving humans, maybe a respectful dog friend or a cat, a cozy couch, and endless squeaky toys. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Cupcake, lovingly called Shelby by her adoring foster, is fostered in Topsham, ME. Location changes but she is still the same big-hearted, ball-chasing, couch-cuddling goofball who genuinely believes she’s a lap dog. She is a happy girl with excellent house manners, a soft spot for her people, and a social calendar that currently includes living peacefully with five large dogs (and recently surviving a holiday “dog party” of about nine dogs plus toys everywhere). Spoiler: she nailed it! Her foster says she’s “eager to please and a quick learner,” and that tracks, because this girl is smart, motivated, and happy to be doing life by your side. Want to see Cupcake’s ball tricks, cuddle melts, and social skills in action? Head to YouTube for “Cupcake | Shelby Sweet-Spot Snuggler” If Cupcake had a signature move, it would be this: circus-ball-artist meets full-body snuggle. She’ll toss a tennis ball around like she’s auditioning for a halftime show, catch it mid-air, then hop onto the couch to roll around with her prize. And if you’re sitting there? Perfect. That’s her cue to “melt into you” (yes, her foster’s exact words: “she melts into you”), ideally, for the cuteness, she will still be proudly holding her ball like a tiny champion. She’s affectionate in the sweetest, most intentional way, too. She leans in for pets and nudges your hand for more and if you sit down… well, as her foster put it: “If you sit down, then that is an invitation to cuddle.” Cupcake is also the kind of dog who loves being included, her foster shared “She loves to be with her people,” and it shows. She’s house trained, crate trained, and does great overnight in her kennel. She’ll happily crate with the classic “treat tax” and settles in naturally easy. She also loads in the car well and rides nicely once she gets past the initial excitement. She does claim to have called shotgun everytime but she gives up the seat if you ask nicely, then she’ll move on to lie down in the back and chill. Now let’s talk dog-friendliness, because Cupcake’s social skills are genuinely impressive. She’s playful, loves tug-of-war, squeaky toys, and balls, and she’s great at sharing toys and going with the flow even in a busy multi-dog home. Over the holidays, her foster reported she was cohabitating with about nine dogs and toys around, and Cupcake stayed cool and cooperative. She is also great with little dogs and less playful dogs. We watched a little dog snap at her just being grumpy, and Cupcake simply… walked away. No drama, no pestering, no tiny grudge. She even did the polite “sniff from behind” move before wandering off again. When any dog doesn’t want to play, Cupcake makes the mature choice and is off to find a new friend. Cupcake is smart, treat motivated, very trainable and responds well to praise and simple corrections when needed. Cupcake already knows some basics like sit, down, come, and “no.” Out meeting new people, she’s friendly, affectionate, and wants head scratches, kisses, and occasionally does try to test the lap-dog waters. Her foster also included an important public service announcement: “Ladies beware she will steal your husband or boyfriend.” Consider that your official warning label. 😄 Cupcake would thrive with regular exercise, training sessions and enrichment. She has alllll the makings of an awesome adventure buddy. A yard is a nice bonus, but not a dealbreaker for the right home that’s committed to walks, outings, and play sessions with friends. A playful dog sibling would be the cherry on top, though her foster believes it’s not required as long as her people meet her needs. She loves kids, she’s been around all ages, and she’d make a fantastic family dog. She is gentle but playful and so happy to tag-along with the kids during back yard adventures. At this time we believe a cat-free home is best for Cupcake but if you are interested we can arrange a sleepover with feline friends to confirm her good manners include cats, over an extended time in a home setting. Cupcake is sweet, funny, affectionate, and full of personality, the kind of dog who truly makes a house a home. If you’re ready for a dog who brings sunshine, snuggles, and squeaky-toy fun to your daily life, she is ready and waiting. Questions?

Story
Diesel here, reporting for duty as your loyal shadow, fetch partner, slightly over-sized lap-dog, and the reason fore everyday laughs. Now Diesel’s name might give you visions of some high-octane, need-for-speed boy but please know that he is far from it. This Diesel has mini-zoomies, is toy-tossing, and is a people-loving pittie mix who’s always ready to spread his contagious happiness. We cannot guarantee it given he is a rescue but we believe Diesel is about 1.5 years old and he weighs 42 pounds, really a perfect medium, to-go size boy. Take a look then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/iVVpWAkEMlY My favorite thing about Diesel is the way he plays with toys! I don’t think there is a toy he doesn’t like. Whether its a stuffy or a bouncy ball, we is going to light up, bounce around, ask if you want to play fetch and then go throw the toy for himself. Right after that he will run to the toy basket, pick out another toy and start the cycle all over again. He is quiet and mindful of the space but it is still hard not to stop what you are doing just to watch him be so cute and happy. Simply, he is the perfect mix of playful energy and sweet affection. Diesel is young and active, and we believe he would be happiest in a home with a yard where he can zoom, toss toys in the air, and play fetch until his heart’s content. With an active life including regular adventures and play sessions, he could be an apartment boy but a home with a yard would be best. On leash, Diesel has great basic leash skills and shines when walking in an area without distraction, keeping an easy, steady pace is steady and showing great manners meeting new people. Diesels foster shared that when passing other dogs, he can get excited and occasionally bark. We did not see that during our afternoon with him but he was so receptive to gentle corrections and boundaries that we feel confident he will learn quickly once it is established what is expected. He’s social, outgoing, and adores people-he’ll happily climb into your lap for cuddles after a good play session. Diesel is dog-friendly and has a bouncy play style and can easily match a “rough and rowdy” player. He will thrive with a confident, playful female dog who can match his energy and handle his bouncy style. A more submissive dog could feel overwhelmed by his friendly and playful approach so we are looking for the right canine sibling fit but he could easily your one-and-only. Cats, however, Diesel would love to play chase with them so no feline friends in the home for him. Diesel is fostered in a loving home where he is learning and practicing all the best house manners. His foster shared that he is both crate and house-trained, and settles down nicely overnight, with only occasional moments of whining before relaxing for the evening. He’s full of enthusiasm, loves dinnertime, and will keep you smiling with his goofy, floppy ears and toy-flinging antics. Diesel is still young so he will need an adopter that is active and can give him on-going training, structure, playtime, and all the love he craves. In return, you are going to get an adoring, happy-go-lucky boy to welcome you home each day. Ready to welcome Diesel into your life?

Story
If you are ready to have a companion that gets so excited when you walk in the door that she simply can’t stand it, you just have to meet Tootsie. When her people get home, she instantly turns into the happiest wiggle monster. She has such a big heart and that is our favorite thing about her! She makes everyone feel so special with her ecstatic welcome! Her color, her fur, the way she plays… she simply is The Happiest-Hippo. Take a look at her in action, mid-way through this video you will get to see her get a burst of the cutest zoomies! https://youtu.be/yW3WylrDW-U?si=BzmPhHcCT9neDh_9 I like to call her Toots, like “how you doin’ Toots?” She’s a dame, it feels respectful somehow and because we estimate her to be about 7 years old, she deserves the respect. She is likely a pittie/staffie mix of some sort but the truth is, both her age and breed are not something we can guarantee given she is a rescue. If she could, I am positive she would tell you she isn’t a day older than 3, followed by a perfect wink. Tootsie weighs 71 lbs, fully-grown so she is a large dog, a favorite for the best snuggles. What I love about her is that she has mature dog presence with the get-up-and-go of a 2 year old dog. It doesn’t take much for her to be ready to lay around either, so if you are looking for a house dog more than a fitness buddy, this is your girl! When it comes to going on adventures or outings, all you gotta do is say the word, grab the leash, and Toots is at the door with her social butterfly adventure cap on. She also loves to go on car rides and has earned the distinguished title of "perfect passenger princess." Toots likes riding with her head out the window for maximum sniffing and feeling that fresh air hit her cute squishy face. She really loves going on leisurely walks at the park and enjoys every second of it. She's never in a rush to get back home or go to the next place. She does great walking past kids, joggers, other dogs, and even the splash pad with all the action going on there with ease. Toots treats her walks like she's on her own personal sniffari LOL. She loves getting compliments from all of the from people at the park, soaking up all of the attention of course. Need to stop by your local coffee shop or even dog friendly thrift store to browse around, she's a dream even in places like that and is deemed a polite shopper. Toots also enjoys going to pet stores too and especially if you let her go where all the fish are so she can sit and watch them It's pretty cute the way she gets so mesmerized by the way the swim around. Be prepared for all of the workers to be fawning over her, giving her kisses and hugs. Oh, and treats of course. She also really likes watching the guinea pigs too! LOL she's just a curious happy hippo. After a full day (or even half day) of adventures, Toots is going to be soooo sleepy. She'll give you night night kisses, and then sprawl out in the back seat for her nap. Can you picture life with tootsie yet? Because I can— and it seems fabulous. My heart can’t take it!! Toots has a few non-negotiables she is looking for in forever home- booty scratches and treats. This is the fast-track to her heart. Offer her a treat and she will show off her perfect sit, followed by a gentle shake. Such a lady. But if you hold a treat too long after she knows she is due one you will hear her voice. She isn’t loud, just chatty, a little grumbly rumble mixed with a small bark. Truth is she uses that voice to make a connection with her people, and we love her little woowoos. When it comes to defining her ideal home, this voice of hers means she needs a house. Apartment life with its shared walls is no place for a girl like Toots. Plus, she needs a little yard for those zoomie sessions. Toots is great with kids, unbothered by the noise and bounciness of a 4 year old. She was calm, polite and gave him gentle kisses…then sneakily and so cutely, walked off with a stuffie toy he had. She loves toys as much as little kids do, and we all know littles leave a trail of toys around the house, so a home with older kids would be best for her. No trail of toys to sneak off with and no tears from a mistaken toy moment. Perfect! Tootsie is very people friendly and will pull a bit on-leash if she sees someone she loves. Other than that, this girl has some good leash manners, she’s just full of love! When introduced to a new dog on leash she was polite and indifferent. Once she realized she was meeting a new playmate it was a different story- she got her doggie greeting sniffs out of the way and immediately wanted to play. She showed off for him a bit with an amazing zoom session and then they were off to play. Her play style is what we call rough and rowdy, it is all in good fun but is a detail that is important when matching her with a doggie companion. Not all dogs enjoy that style of play and although she enjoys a round of chase, her ideal match would be a medium energy, playful male, who loves physical play and also appreciates those calmer moments as well. Toots would also be just as happy being the center of your world too and does not need another dog in the home to keep her company or help her feel comfortable to fully be her goofy loving self. She is naturally a love bug and a social butterfly. No kitties for Tootsie, she is a little too interested in them. If a mature happy-hippo of your own is what you are looking for, this is your girl! Big love and big snuggles guaranteed! Apply today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/673943173a4b7daee0088ba5 Questions?

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. 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.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
