Story
Meet Annie!
At just 10 pounds and around a year old, Annie is the perfect pocket-sized companion. We think she may be a Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix, but whatever her breed blend is, it created one incredibly adorable little dog. With her expressive eyes, tiny face, dainty build, and those adorable black-and-white markings, Annie has a way of making everyone she meets instantly fall in love.
Annie's favorite thing in the entire world is people. She is a certified lover girl who believes that every lap was made specifically for her. If given the opportunity, she'll happily climb into your lap, snuggle as close as possible, and cover your face with sweet little kisses. Her love language is affection, and she has plenty of it to give.

This gentle girl has an incredibly soft and submissive personality. She isn't interested in being the boss of anyone and would much rather make friends than start drama. She gets along beautifully with other dogs and has shown that she can comfortably coexist with both big and small canine friends. While she'd do great as an only dog soaking up all the attention, she'd also be happy sharing her home with kind, playful dog siblings.
Annie also did wonderfully with cats. She was polite, respectful, and happy to let the cats go about their business without bothering them. She'd likely make an excellent companion for a cat-friendly household.
One thing that makes Annie especially endearing is how trusting and loving she is. Pick her up? No problem. Hold her in your arms? She's perfectly content. Need a cuddle buddy? Annie has already volunteered. She's the type of dog who simply wants to love and be loved.
Despite her small size, Annie handles new experiences surprisingly well. She enjoys meeting people, recovers quickly from stressful moments, and has a sweet, easygoing nature. She can be a little unsure about leash pressure and may dramatically "sploot" on the ground when she feels it, so she'll benefit from some gentle confidence-building and leash practice. Luckily, she's eager to please and has all the makings of a wonderful companion.
Her ideal home is simply one filled with kindness, cuddles, and people who appreciate having a tiny shadow by their side. Whether she's curled up in your lap, giving kisses, or quietly following you around the house, Annie's goal in life is to make sure you never feel alone.
If you're looking for a small dog with a huge heart, endless affection, and enough sweetness to last a lifetime, Annie might just be your perfect girl.

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.
