Story
Splinter may share his name with a wise character, but right now he’s still a goofy, playful puppy discovering how fun the world can be. This adorable Catahoula Leopard Dog and Pitbull mix boy is around three months old and full of puppy charm. He has the sweetest face, a wagging tail, and a personality that shines brighter every day.

Seeing their playful personalities on video really shows just how fun and adorable they are.
Splinter is very, very extremely playful and loves to tumble around with his siblings. Their games can get a little wild sometimes, and they actually play pretty rough in that joyful, energetic puppy way. Because of this, they need to go with owners who will be good and ready to guide them as they grow into well-mannered adult dogs.
Splinter is curious about everything. New smells, new toys, new people—he wants to check it all out. He’ll bounce over with those bright puppy eyes like he’s asking, “What are we doing next?” and he’s always ready for the next adventure.
He loves toys, loves running around, and especially loves wrestling with his littermates in dramatic puppy-style matches that end in happy tails and goofy tumbles. But he’s also incredibly sweet and affectionate. When the excitement settles down, he enjoys attention and gentle pets, soaking up all the love he can get.
Splinter will thrive in a home that enjoys playful energy and is excited about raising a puppy. With patience, guidance, and lots of love, this fun-loving boy will grow into a devoted and wonderful companion.

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.
