Story
Meet Mygena Hyena: The Gorgeous Cuddly Adventure Princess✨
Why “Mygena Hyena,” you ask? One look at her giant goofy smile, her hilarious little expressions, and those absolutely breathtaking golden honey eyes, and it just makes sense. She has the face of a majestic woodland princess mixed with the energy of your funniest best friend who accidentally trips over air but somehow still looks beautiful doing it.
At around 3 years old, Mygena Hyena is truly one of those dogs who just loves being loved. During her assessment, she floated around the room collecting affection from every human possible like she was running for mayor. She met tons of people and acted like every single one was her long-lost family member returning from war. Tail wiggles? Check. Face kisses? MANY. Leaning her entire body weight into you for scratches? Absolutely.
This girl believes affection is a full-time job.
If you sit down, congratulations, you now have a cuddle buddy. If you stand up, congratulations, you now have a shadow. If you look at her for more than three seconds, she assumes you obviously wanted to kiss her forehead and tell her she’s beautiful. And honestly? She’s correct.
One of the cutest things about her is how soft and sweet she is while asking for attention. She’ll gently hop up for love, roll onto her back dramatically for belly rubs, and stare at you with those giant golden eyes like you are personally responsible for making her day magical. It’s impossible not to laugh around her because she has this goofy, lovable, slightly dramatic personality that makes everything more entertaining.

And while she is an Olympic-level snuggler, Mygena Hyena is not just a couch potato. Her foster says one of their favorite things about her is how much she loves adventures and being active. She would be SUCH a fun companion for someone who likes getting out of the house. Walks? Yes. Exploring? Absolutely. Hiking buddy? 100%. Farmers markets, patio hangs, road trips, wandering around town pretending she pays rent there? She would thrive. She has that perfect mix of “let’s go do stuff!” and “okay now let’s cuddle for six straight hours.”
On leash, she was easygoing and followed directional changes really nicely with just tiny little guidance. She naturally wanted to stay connected with her people and was very pleasant to walk.
When it came to other dogs, Mygena Hyena was honestly hilarious because she was so chill about everybody. She met all kinds of dogs during her assessment (playful puppies, dominant females, energetic dogs, calm dogs) and she handled everything beautifully. Her vibe was basically:
“Oh hi.”
sniff sniff
“Anyway… where are the humans petting me?”
She mostly wandered around doing her own thing, occasionally greeting dogs politely before continuing her important business of being adorable. She shared affection from handlers well, tolerated all the dogs she met nicely, and overall was just super easygoing socially. Her foster says she lives with multiple dogs and does great.
For very tiny dogs, her foster mentioned she can sometimes play too enthusiastically and may chase smaller active dogs, so dog friends around 20 pounds and up would likely be the best fit for her. During her assessment, she did very well with a calmer small dog and was mostly aloof and polite.
Now for the one thing Miss Mygena Hyena says she cannot compromise on: absolutely no cats. Tiny tiger roommates are not for her.
As for kiddos, she hasn’t officially been around children yet, but she is incredibly affectionate and loving with every person she meets. We can absolutely kid-test her for interested adopters! She is a sweet girl, but because she sometimes gently jumps up for affection and she’s a bigger gal, we’d want to make sure everyone is a good fit together.
Her dream forever home is one where she gets to be included in everyday life. She’s not the kind of dog who wants to sit alone in the background — she wants to be part of the family. She wants to go on adventures, get showered in love, follow you around the house dramatically, supervise snack time, and then curl up next to you afterward like the giant affectionate baby she is.
Honestly, Mygena Hyena feels like one of those dogs people talk about forever after adopting:
“That’s my soul dog.”
“That’s my best friend.”
“That’s the little golden-eyed lady who changed my life.”
She’s silly, affectionate, adventurous, cuddly, and full of personality. And those gorgeous golden eyes? They look right into your soul like she already knows she belongs with somebody out there.

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+.

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.
