Story
Pierre Jett looks like Scooby-Doo came to life, complete with long legs, an adorably expressive face, and floppy ears that bounce along with him every time he runs. His resemblance may catch your attention, but it is his happy-go-lucky personality that will completely win you over. Pierre is a walking ray of sunshine who brings fun everywhere he goes and has a way of making everyone around him smile.
Watch his video and fall in love with his fun personality: https://youtu.be/a56-QvP4n3c?si=p55DoW_VzvTXSxRi
Pierre is approximately 1 year old and currently weighs around 47 pounds. We believe he may be a German Shepherd Dog and Black Mouth Cur mix, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses.
He has spent time around his foster’s grandchildren, including children as young as 2 years old, and has done wonderfully with them. Pierre loves being right in the middle of the fun, happily running around the backyard beside the kids as they play and soaking up every bit of attention they give him. There is something so sweet about watching him trot alongside them, tail wagging as he joins in on their adventures like he has always been part of the family. His playful spirit makes him a wonderful backyard buddy, while his affectionate nature means he is just as happy settling in close once playtime is over. We believe Pierre has all the makings of a loving and loyal companion for a family with children who wants a dog to grow alongside them and be included in all the everyday moments that make childhood so special.
Pierre is dog friendly and has done well with every dog we have introduced him to. He currently shares his foster home with four other dogs and gets along wonderfully with them all. He loves to explore and when he plays with his dog friends, he enjoys playing chase as well as light hearted wrestling matches too. He is a playful, fun-loving big puppy who would be thrilled to have another playful dog in his forever home. However, he would be just as happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only, as long as his family can give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and adventures.
Pierre met our house cat Biggie and handled the introduction appropriately. He was respectful, did not chase Biggie, and was not bothered by Biggie jumping around or doing the unpredictable things cats sometimes do. Biggie also felt comfortable around Pierre. We do not know if Pierre has ever lived with a cat before, and this was our first time seeing him interact with one. If you have a cat in your home, we can arrange for Pierre to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!
When he is not playing with his dog friends or running around with the kids, Pierre loves entertaining himself with toys. He is great about playing independently and can happily keep himself busy. He also loves treats, is eager to please, and will be such a fun dude to teach new tricks. With his enthusiasm and joyful personality, training can become another exciting activity the two of you get to enjoy together. Pierre is crate trained and is generally comfortable relaxing in his crate, although he may whine every now and then. He is still a young fella learning where the appropriate potty places are, but with practice, consistency, and a dependable routine, we believe he will learn in no time.
Because Pierre is an energetic young dog, he would do best with a semi-active family and a home with a backyard rather than an apartment. He would love having space to stretch his legs, chase toys, play with dog friends, and race around with his people. We can also picture him becoming an incredible exploring and adventure partner who is always ready to see where the day takes you.
Pierre is sweet, playful, full of personality, and genuinely happy just to be included. Whether his floppy ears are bouncing through the backyard, he is tossing toys around to entertain himself, or he is grinning beside you on your next adventure, this real-life Scooby-Doo is ready to fill a home with laughter, sunshine, and so much love.
We are willing to test Pierre Jett 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.
