Story
If you like your dogs perfect and handsome…Meet Lenny! He is absolute perfection- giving good-looks, gentle kisses, and absolutely easy-dreamy companionship for you, your dogs, and your cat, if you have one.
To truly understand the “perfection” you have to watch his video. Take a look then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/pb8qbt9QGZc
We suspect he is a Labradoodle/ shepherd mix but given he is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or age. He currently weighs 29 lbs and we believe he is less than a year old so there may still be come growing ahead for him.
Lenny is a loving, easy-going, people-oriented sweetheart who is ready to lean in, give you a little hug and maybe sneak a gentle kiss within a few moment of meeting you. Not in a pushy way though, his approach is gentle and so friendly. We were all impressed by how balanced his energy is, whether it was meeting new people or being introduced to new dogs- he is friendly, warm and polite, with a perfect touch of obvious joy. We introduced him to a handful of new dogs and he was consistently welcoming with great doggie manners. He shows his friendly, playful personality easily and gets excited when meeting a dog that is matching that playful energy. Naturally, not every dog is the playful, happy type, and although he will try to get them to change their mind, he also knows when to move on. We would describe him as moderately energetic—up for a play session or a nice walk, but just as happy snuggling on the couch or playing with a toy by himself.
Lenny is so fortunate and is being fostered in a loving home while he waits for his adoption day. This has allowed Lenny to learn and practice all the best house manners and skills. Plus, it gives us a front row seat to his personality and behavior in a natural setting. Lenny has shown he is very smart and highly trainable. Teaching Lenny new skills and commands has come quick and easy for his fosters and they praise him for picking things up so quickly. He is both house and crate trained and has learned a handful of commands- sit, down, crate, leave-it, drop-it, and is working on come. His foster home includes a total of 6 other dogs, who Lenny gets along wonderfully with. Ranging in age from 1.5- 5 years old, and a weight range of 15 lbs-65, he has shown he can match energy, respect boundaries, and read his canine friends well. He would be a wonderful addition to any pack but he does not need a doggie playmate in the home, and would be perfectly happy as a solo-boy with occasional doggie day care outings to socialize. As for space, Lennys quiet and easy-going nature makes him a great candidate for both house or apartment life. His playful yet balanced energy makes him a great companion for someone looking for a dog who enjoys both social-time just as much as downtime. And feline friends are welcome with Lenny! When introduced to our house cat he was respectful and calm. He was clearly mindful of the cats boundaries and was friendly, respectful, and unbothered by him even when he was getting wild with a cat toy. We would consider him cat-tolerant and we are confident he will respond well to learning from his people and the cat what the boundaries are.
Lenny enjoys walks and is easy to handle on leash, he passes dogs with a friendly acknowledgement and takes redirection/ correction easily. He may occasionally want to slow down to soak up the sites or meet a passer-by but he is easy to keep moving when needed.
With his good looks, cheerful, easy-going nature and love for people, he’s sure to be a fantastic companion for any family or individual looking for the warm charm this special boy brings. He is perfect and ready for adoption!

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)!

You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where 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 trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
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.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
