Story
Warning: Reading this bio may cause an uncontrollable urge to scoop up a tiny dog, cradle her like a baby, and spend the rest of the day telling her how pretty she is. Meet Zeena!
At about one year old and just 20 pounds, Zeena is the perfect "take me everywhere" size. We think she's a Chihuahua/Spaniel mix (our best guess!), and whatever combination created this little masterpiece deserves a standing ovation. She has the sweetest chocolatey face with perfectly placed tan eyebrows that always make her look curious, soft floppy ears, warm caramel legs, and the cutest little white freckles sprinkled across her tiny paws. Those speckled feet are honestly impossible to get over. They look like someone dipped her little toes in paint just for fun. Add in her expressive puppy eyes and constantly wagging tail, and you've got one ridiculously adorable little lady.

Zeena has two speeds: professional cuddle bug and professional goofball.
Her absolute favorite place to be is in your arms. She loves being held like a baby, stretched out on her back while you rub her belly, completely convinced that personal space is just a silly suggestion. If there's an open lap, she's already climbing into it. If you're sitting on the couch, she's planning on joining you. She simply wants to love her people as much as humanly possible.
But don't let all those cuddles fool you—this girl knows how to have fun! Zeena is a toy enthusiast, and if you ask her, every day should include a game of fetch. Her beloved tennis ball goes everywhere with her. She'll happily chase it, bring it back, or even toss it into the air herself when nobody else is available to play. Watching her get the backyard zoomies with her favorite ball is guaranteed to make you smile.
Zeena is growing up in a loving foster home where she's surrounded by kitty friends, including kittens, and she's been absolutely wonderful with them. She's gentle, respectful, and seems to think cats make perfectly acceptable companions. Whether they want to play or simply share the couch, Zeena is happy to be their friend.
She's also the kind of dog that makes everyday life easy. Zeena is potty trained, crate trained, and walks beautifully on leash around the neighborhood. She loves joining her people for walks just as much as she loves coming home afterward for a cuddle session.
What makes Zeena so special isn't just that she's adorable—although she absolutely is—it's how naturally she fits into everyday life. She's playful without being overwhelming, affectionate without being demanding, and adaptable enough to thrive in so many different homes. Whether you're looking for a walking buddy, a couch companion, or a tiny shadow to follow you from room to room, Zeena checks every box.
If you're searching for a little dog with freckled toes, a heart full of love, endless belly rub requests, and enough personality to keep you smiling every single day, Zeena is ready to become your new best friend. Fair warning, though—you may never get anything done again once she's curled up in your lap.

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.
