Story
Oh my goodness, the sweetness that radiates from Caleb Cuddles is unmatched! From the very first moment you meet him you'll be instantly obsessed with his sweet love. It's hard to describe but imaging the type of innocent love. Gentle, soft, and so impactful. That's the best way to describe it. But wait, there's more! Caleb Cuddles is incredibly dog friendly, smart, would make a great family dog, and it's just a bonus that he's stinking ADORABLE!
Watch his video and you be in love with this sweet boy: https://youtu.be/i6A8R3umDKY?si=g6bdBxCoyow-uPje
Caleb Cuddles is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 6 months old and currently weighs 36 lbs. Y'all there is a good chance that he might not get much bigger than that! Although, he is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed, age, or how big he potentially might get.
Caleb absolutely adores kids and was so incredibly gentle when he met Miller who is 4 years old. He barely jumped on Miller and was easily corrected whenever he first jumped little bit when he first met her. He’s very easy to be around because he is small,
He’s very gentle and doesn't love bomb you with affection. He gives the right amount of love. It was so sweet the way he was sneaking kisses and the way his tail was wagging the whole time because he really enjoyed the attention from Miller. He was also totally cool with Miller taking his toys and enjoyed playing with her. If you have kids and you're looking for a companion for your kids, Caleb is hands down your boy!
With other dogs, Caleb is a silly, playmate who loves a good chase and gentle wrestle session. He’d do great with a medium energy dog who enjoys active play but can also take breaks when needed. Someone who can be his fun buddy and his teacher. If you feel your personal dog is lonely and would love a playmate, like a little brother almost, well Caleb is the one for you! He loves other dogs and easily makes friends. He met lots of dogs and did beautifully with every single one, from quick leash intros to full off-leash play with the whole crew. He’s a star. Caleb is still a young fella so he may need you or your personal dog to teach him a boundary or two. He's just a baby and he's gotta learn it's okay to not play all the time. He actually is already picking it up so fast and responds really well when any of his dog friends tell him they want a play break or if they are not the playful type. He's a good boy.
Caleb is a happy, playful, and incredibly snuggly boy that will surely steal your heart! He has a wonderful personality and amazing energy about him even with is young age. He is the perfect blend of silliness and cuddles all in one. Hence the second name Cuddles! Caleb is the best of both worlds. He can be a little shy at first in new places and with people but trust us when we say it does not take long for this sweet boy to be leaning in giving you all the kisses. He would love to go to a home that has a backyard where he can stretch his legs, roll around in the grass, and then enjoy his down time snuggled up with you on the couch. We believe he would also be a great pup to take with you on adventures!
Caleb is your guy if you're looking for a loving boy who brings joy, comfort, and lots of tail wags into your home! Enjoy the chance to welcome this charming and lovable boy into your family. He is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Caleb is doing great with potty training as well and is currently used to getting a few potty breaks a day and does fantastic with that schedule. The same thing can also be said about any additional training for this young guy. Consistency, structure, and of course treats will be key to setting him up for success. Good news is that Caleb is a super smart pup and is eager to please, especially when treats are involved. He already knows how to sit and is mastering his leash skills! Calab is a 10/10 good boy.
We are willing to test Caleb Cuddles 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.
