Story
If you’ve been waiting on a puppy who’s the perfect mix of heart, humor, and happy-go-lucky charm… say hello to Adorable Archie. This boy is everything we love about puppies rolled into one wiggly little package — sweet, silly, social, and so ready to love his people.
Archie’s story started in one of the toughest regions in the country for dogs like him. Puppies there don’t get many chances. Shelters are overcrowded to the point that healthy, adoptable babies are being euthanized simply because there’s no space left. Archie made it out because a foster stepped up. Choosing him means you’re not just giving one puppy a future — you’re opening a spot so we can save the next one standing in line behind him. You’re part of changing the numbers.
And this boy? He’s worth every bit of that second chance.
Archie is five months old, around 37 pounds, and bursting with personality. His foster describes him as social, affectionate, “talkative,” playful, and easy to redirect — truly the best kind of puppy energy. He loves other dogs, plays beautifully, explores with curiosity, and then curls up like a big ol’ lap baby the second he realizes it’s snuggle time. He’s joyful, fun to watch, and always ready to be part of the action. He even entertains himself when needed, which is a dream for puppy adopters.
He’s still young, so he’ll need a family ready to guide him with training, structure, and routine — all the things that help puppies grow into confident, well-mannered adults. We ask adopters to commit to crate training right away, as it’s essential for potty training, boundaries, and helping puppies settle safely.
In return? You get a best friend with a personality big enough to fill your whole house with laughter and love. Archie is loyal, goofy, expressive, and so ready to bond with his forever family.
If your heart is pulling you toward a puppy you can grow with, learn with, and love for a lifetime, Archie might just be your boy. We’d love to set up a FaceTime call so you can meet him, see his personality firsthand, and make sure he feels like the right fit. He’s currently in Houston and able to travel to the PNW, East Coast, or Midwest on our next transport.
Your new adventure starts with one yes — and Archie is waiting for it.

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.
