Story
Meet Queenie — a tiny girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This gorgeous puppy is believed to be a German Shepherd/Lab mix, and at just an estimated 9 weeks old and 12 pounds, she already has the presence of a dog well beyond her age.

Queenie is absolutely stunning. She has classic German Shepherd features, a sleek black muzzle, expressive eyes with a soft “eyeliner” look, and a unique wavy black stripe down her back that makes her stand out wherever she goes. She’s the kind of puppy people notice right away — not just for her looks, but for her sweet confidence.
She is playful, curious, and full of personality in the best way. Queenie loves squeaky toys, playful zoomies, and exploring everything around her with enthusiasm. She’s bright and engaged with the world, always eager to learn and be part of whatever is going on. She is truly thriving in her foster home and continues to show more of her wonderful personality every day.
Just as much as she loves to play, Queenie also has a very affectionate, gentle side. After she’s had her fun, she happily settles in for cuddles and closeness with her people. She enjoys being near you, soaking up attention, and she has a sweet way of asking for affection. She can even mix play and cuddles together, happily chewing a toy while staying snuggled in.
Queenie is also doing very well with potty training in her foster home and is already picking up good habits for her age. She is very food motivated and showing how smart she is — she learned “sit” in just a few minutes with a little encouragement. She’ll likely continue to learn quickly with consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. She is still working on leash skills, but she is eager, attentive, and has all the potential to grow into a wonderful walking or adventure companion.
As she grows, Queenie will likely become a medium-to-large dog, so a home with space to run and play like a fenced yard would be a great fit for her energy and development.
This sweet girl is the perfect blend of beauty, brains, playfulness, and affection. She’ll make you laugh during playtime, melt into your arms during quiet moments, and bring so much joy to her future family. Queenie is ready to find a home where she can continue to grow up loved, guided, and cherished.

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.
