Story
This is Harper and she is a green flag of good decisions! Her slightly pouty little overbite, bright, thoughtful eyes and amazingly upbeat, well-balanced nature has us all collectively smitten.
She’s estimated to be about 6 months old, currently weighs 35 lbs, and looks like she may have a sprinkle of bull terrier in her genes, mostly in that darling nose and the tiniest toothy smirk. As always, rescue rules apply so breed and birthday are our best guess. What isn’t a guess? Harper is the kind of puppy people quietly hope for. The easy one. The golden one. The “how did we get so lucky?” one.

Harper lives by a simple philosophy: be joyful, be gentle, be ready.
And she nails it.
She has been fostered in a home where she was described as “perfect” and “such an easy addition.” House trained, crate trained, calm in routine, and she knows when it’s playtime and when it’s couch-time. That kind of off-switch at six months old? Unicorn of a chef’s kiss.
In play groups, Harper shines! She’s so even-tempered and socially savvy that she has yet to meet a set of dogs or social scene she cannot navigate perfectly. She greets with that classic puppy bounce, a little slappy-happy enthusiasm on leash and off, but she’s never overwhelming. Other dogs tolerate her beautifully, and when they correct her, she takes it with grace and adjusts. No drama. No ego. Just, “Got it, friend.” We were especially impressed with her confidence and ability to be respected when she met our very playful, large great dane who plays physically and doesn’t waste a moment of time. She met him with a playful confidence he immediately respected and she help her own beautifully! When she had her fill and needed a break she was perfectly happy to pull away to go lay down in the shade for a break. Needless to say, we are all impressed with everything about her! She doesn’t pester. She doesn’t obsess. She can wander off to sniff, explore, and then circle back in like a polite little social butterfly.
Inside the home, she coexists beautifully, like she’s been doing it forever. She shared space with our house cat Biggie, played when he was interested, and when he decided he was done and hopped up to nap, she respected it immediately. No chasing. No pestering. Just settled down and hung out with her people instead.
Apartment? She’d do fine.
Busy home with kids? Absolutely.
Older couple looking for a companion? Perfect match.
First-time dog owners? She’s the confidence booster you didn’t know you needed.Though she may convince you dogs are easy and you need more. We take no blame if this happens but we will be here to help.
Harper Honeybee Halo is that rare puppy who feels solid already. Playful without being wild. Sweet without being clingy. Confident without being pushy.
She’s ready.
If you’ve been waiting for a puppy who feels less like chaos and more like calm sunshine with a bounce… this is your girl!
Apply today and welcome Harper hope! She’s going to make someone’s life very, very lovely, hopefully it is you!

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.
