Story
Meet Winnie! 🐾💕
If you’ve ever dreamed of having a dog who looks like someone accidentally hit the “stretch” button on a lab, then Winnie is your girl. She’s got the longggg, low-rider body of a dachshund and the sweet, expressive face of a mini lab—basically the best of both worlds, compacted into about two feet of pure cuteness.
Winnie is the definition of a velcro dog. The second she decides you’re her person (which might only take five minutes, if you’re lucky!), she’ll be your little shadow forever. She’s a lap snuggler, a pet-seeker, and a certified professional in the “follow you everywhere” department. She bonded with her foster mom instantly and has been her tiny sidekick ever since.
Watch this tiny girl in action here!

She’s great with dogs of all sizes—she’ll wrestle, play, and zoom around the yard with her little legs going full speed, which is honestly a show worth charging admission for. She’s also cat friendly! She currently lives with two cats and has no interest in being with them, playing with them, or spending time with them. They coexist and live beautifully alongside her dog foster sister!
Winnie does need a little patience with new people, especially men. She’s much more comfortable with women and will warm up to a patient guy who’s willing to earn her trust. She did great in her kid test, but she’d prefer a calmer home with kids 12 and up—she’s more of a “gentle movie night” kind of gal than a “chaotic toddler energy” one.
Winnie walks beautifully on leash (like, seriously easy) and would be just as happy in an apartment as she would be in a home with a yard to explore. She’s tiny, portable, and ready for any adventure you throw her way—whether it’s a park stroll, a car ride, or a cozy nap marathon.
Whether she’s your one and only or joining a pack of furry siblings, Winnie’s just looking for love, snuggles, and someone to call her person. 💖

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.
