Story
Some dogs enjoy people… and then there’s Gidget Bee, who absolutely lives for them. From the moment you meet her, she’s all wags, smiles, and “hi hello yes please love me.” She’s the kind of dog who treats every new person like a long-lost best friend and makes you feel instantly special just by being around her. Gidget has that joyful, goofy personality that naturally makes people laugh, lean down to pet her, and stay a little longer just to soak up her sweet energy.
One of our very favorite things about Gidget is her adorable little signature move — she gives you her paw when she wants affection. Not just once either… she’ll gently tap you with it like a polite little reminder that it’s time for pets. It’s equal parts charming and hilarious, and it never fails to make people smile. Between her happy personality, her love for people, and her adorable “paw please” requests for attention, Gidget has a way of turning everyday moments into something a little sweeter and a lot more fun.

Gidget Bee is believed to be a Pittie/lab mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 60 lbs. Don't let her pictures fool you, she's on the smaller side of 60 lbs, and the perfect petite size. Not too big, not too small, she’s just the right size. Gidget is a rescue dog and, with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
It’s a given this bundle of joy is absolutely adorable and such a happy gal, but she is so much more than that. She loves every person she meets and truly knows no stranger!
Connections with her are instantaneous. When people first meet her, they immediately comment on how adorable and friendly she is. The most common phrase used by everyone who meets her is something along the lines of how sweet and friendly she is. Gidget is such a go-with-the-flow type of girly who is happy regardless of where she is or who she is with. It’s almost impossible not to immediately fall for her friendly and goofy personality.
Gidget is dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced her to. She is friendly and respectful, happy to say hello with a quick sniff, and then do her own thing. She's not really a rough-and-tumble play kind of gal, but she’s totally comfortable hanging around other dogs. Every now and then she will give an appropriate correction almost like she's saying "alright now kids, that's enough go bother someone else" LOL like a mother would to her own children. She is simply just happy to hangout and watch the other dogs play. Her ideal furry companion would be a gentle, easygoing dog who enjoys a good sunbathe more than a wrestling match. But she's also totally fine being your one and only as well.
Gidget also met our house cat, Biggie, and handled the introduction beautifully. She was respectful and appropriate, did not chase Biggie, and wasn’t bothered by his typical cat behavior. Biggie also felt comfortable around her. We do not know if she has ever lived in a home with a cat before, as this was our first time seeing her with one. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange a kitty sleepover upon request, just let us know!
When it comes to training, Gidget loves treats and will do anything for a tasty snack! She already knows how to sit and does so on command, walks well on a leash, and is crate and potty trained too. Gidget also knows how to shake! Her shake is somewhat her trademark too because she’ll voluntarily give you her paw whenever she wants affection. She would be a great dog to take with you on walks at the park, will be your backyard patio hangout girly, and your snuggly princess at the end of the day. Her ideal home would have a backyard where she can zoom around, play with her toys, and sunbathe during those beautiful days.
She also has the potential to thrive in an apartment or condo. She loves people and is a true social butterfly, so if you’re someone who enjoys hosting or having friends over for backyard BBQs, Gidget will happily be right in the middle of all the fun. We’re pretty sure she’ll become one of the main talking points in every conversation, too. Gidget is currently being fostered in a home with a 14 year old and has done great with her foster’s kids. We have not seen her with kids younger than 14 just yet and we can certainly see how she does with younger kids. Based on what we already know about her though, we believe she would make a great companion for a family with kids.
We are willing to test Gidget Bee with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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.
