Story
With her sparkling eyes, soft coat, and those big, expressive ears that perk right up, Clementine is a total heart-stealer. Clementine is the type of dog that will make you laugh with her silly toy-tossing antics, absolutely melt into you the second you sit down, and bring joy to every corner of your home. She is a certified lover girl who lives for affection—belly rubs, cuddles, gentle hugs, and being as close to her people as possible. If you’ve been dreaming of a dog who can be your adventure buddy by day and your snuggly, goofy couch companion by night, Clementine is the girl you’ve been waiting for.

At around 5 years old, this Australian Kelpie / German Shepherd mix (no promises!) has the perfect balance of playful energy and cozy cuddles. Her coat is incredibly unique, with the sweetest markings on her face and body—and of course, my personal favorite, those expressive little eyebrows that somehow manage to communicate her thoughts at all times. One look at her and you just know she’s something special.
Clementine’s personality is as warm and sunny as her name suggests. She is confident, affectionate, and wonderfully silly in the most endearing way. She loves to dramatically flop over for belly rubs, wiggle around with happy kicks in the air, and then curl herself right into your lap like that was the plan all along. She adores her humans and thrives on being included in everyday life—whether that’s tossing toys around the yard, heading out for a peaceful walk, or snuggling up on the couch after a long day. Clementine prefers her walks during the quiet morning or evening hours when the world feels calm and serene. She craves zen, peaceful adventures—it’s her sacred time. A gentle hike or a stroll through a nature preserve? Absolute dream life. She’s food-motivated, toy-loving, incredibly smart, and very eager to please, which makes her super trainable too.
Clementine is lucky enough to be in a foster home where she has truly shown what an incredible, dog-loving companion she is. She lives with both small and large dogs and absolutely adores them. Clementine is playful, joyful, and so genuinely happy to have canine friends around. She loves romping, chasing, and goofing around with dogs who want to play, but what really makes her special is how kind and respectful she is—if another dog isn’t in the mood, she totally understands and adjusts beautifully. She reads dog body language so well and truly just loves being around other dogs, whether that means playing hard or simply coexisting peacefully nearby. She would be over the moon to have a doggy friend in her forever home and would thrive with a canine sibling to share life, playtime, and companionship with.
She also has human foster siblings (ages 12, 9, and 5!) and loves playing in the yard with them. She’s gentle, sweet, and super tolerant of crazy kiddo antics! Around the house, Clementine is extremely well-mannered, house-trained, and crate-trained. She sleeps soundly in her crate at night and will occasionally sneak in some extra snuggles by curling up in bed with her foster family. Clementine does believe kitty cats are meant for chasing (she’s wrong, but confident), so a feline-free home is best for her.
When it comes to meeting other dogs, Clementine is a total social butterfly. She greets canine friends with confidence and excitement and has lovely manners when sharing treats and food, patiently waiting her turn. On leash, she can get excited when she spots another dog, but it’s purely from her enthusiasm to say hello. She heels nicely and responds very well to leash guidance, and with consistency, she’ll continue blossoming into a beautifully polite walking companion.
Clementine’s ideal home would be one where she has space to stretch her legs—preferably with a yard she can finally call her own (she’s been dreaming of one for so long). She would love playtime, peaceful outings, and soaking up every ounce of affection her humans are willing to give. She’d be perfectly happy as your one-and-only, soaking up all the love, but she would also thrive with a doggy sibling to play with. More than anything, Clementine just wants to be included—whether that’s serene adventures, a game of fetch, or curling up together for movie night.
Clementine is truly special because she so effortlessly balances being playful and calm, goofy and gentle, silly and deeply loving. She’ll brighten your mornings with happy hops, make you laugh during the day with her goofy charm, and melt into you at night to remind you just how loved you are. Her foster family says it best: “Whoever ends up with her is going to get a great dog. She will love them so much.”
Clementine is ready to share her love, loyalty, belly rub requests, and endless affection with her forever family. Could you be the lucky one who gets to call this sweet, silly, perfect girl your own?

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.
