Story
Hatch is here and ready to be your scruffy crush! This boy knows how to have fun and lounge with the best! One thing we love about him is how he can fit a whole afternoon of fun into about five minutes. A little chase with a dog friend, a few happy laps around the yard, and then he’s stretched out in the grass ready to enjoy the breeze together at a perfectly leisurely pace. With that sweet scruffy face and a belly that presents itself for rubbing at the perfect time, he makes a pretty convincing case for slowing down to enjoy a moment with him.
Go watch Hatch on YouTube to see him making friends, enjoying a little backyard playtime, and putting that scruffy charm to work.

Hatch is friendly from the start. He’s happy to meet new people, soak up their affection, and roll onto his back when the loving is especially good. He has a comfortable way of being with people- enjoying his attention, then settling nearby while the day carries on. He’d be lovely company for someone who likes having a dog around for all the everyday stuff.
And his dog friendships? Those are pretty sweet, too. Hatch recently made friends with a bouncy, tall dog named Marley and they were fast friends, almost immediately sparking up a fun game of chase before lying down in the grass together. Playing was fun, but hanging out together was clearly just as good. A friendly dog who enjoys both backyard games and a lazy afternoon could be a wonderful companion for him.
Hatch brings good manners to all his doggie-friendships. He reads other dogs’ cues, respects their space, and happily shares affection from his people. He enjoys a little tug with a buddy and can sit patiently for his turn when treats are being handed out. There’s a lot to love about a boy who can have fun with the group and then settle right alongside them.
He’s also a pleasant walking buddy, walking nicely beside his person and responding easily to guidance. With his enthusiasm for meeting people and dogs, a neighborhood stroll offers plenty of things to enjoy. A little fresh air, a few friendly faces, and the time with you make a good outing.
Hatch has a medium-to-low energy level and would love a home with a yard where he can play, sniff around, and claim a favorite lounging spot. His ideal family enjoys including their dog in daily life, whether that means heading out for a walk, welcoming friends over, or spending an easy afternoon at home.
It’s easy to picture falling for Hatch in the small moments- looking down to find that scruffy face beside you, watching him make a new friend, or giving him a belly rub that turns into a moment a little longer than planned. He’s a sweet boy to share your days with, and he’s ready to find his people.

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.
