Rapunzel is a total sweetheart who really knows how to read the room. She has a lovely, polite way of taking in her surroundings before she dives into the fun. It’s her way of making sure she’s ready to give you her very best! Once she’s settled in, she blossoms into a total lovebug. It only takes a few minutes for her warm, friendly personality to shine through, and once it does, she’s all about the affection.
While every rescue is a unique treasure, Rapunzel has that classic, sun kissed Golden Retriever glow we all love! At a sturdy and huggable 50 lbs, she is the perfect "Goldilocks" size, not too big and not too small. She is incredibly easy to handle and always ready for an adventure. Whether she’s hopping into the carriage (or the car!) for a weekend getaway or just joining you for a royal stroll through the neighborhood, she’s a dream on the move. With her soft, golden coat and gentle spirit, she’s truly the crowning jewel of any home!
Rapunzel is currently thriving in a loving foster home, where she’s proven to be an absolute dream to have around! She is a true pro at hanging out inside and settles into her cozy spots with ease. She’s already mastered the art of being potty trained and is a complete star when it comes to crate time. Just give her a moment to see where she’s going, and she’ll happily trot right in for a nap. Whether she’s hanging out with her favorite humans or her best dog pal, she’s all about those peaceful, happy vibes.
Rapunzel is a total sweetheart who truly knows how to socialize! She has a lovely, polite way of connecting with other dogs and making sure everyone is comfortable before she dives into the fun. Once she settles in, she blossoms into a total lovebug. It only takes a few minutes for her warm, friendly personality to shine through, and once it does, she is all about the affection.
Is she a fan of felines? While Rapunzel has been an absolute angel with every dog she’s met, she hasn't shared her thoughts on cats just yet! Like a true princess, she’s all about polite introductions. To make sure everyone in the kingdom is on the same page, we can arrange a supervised kitty sleepover to see if they’ll be the best of buds!
Rapunzel is a versatile little queen with the sweetest, easygoing vibe. Her manageable size and calm energy make her a perfect fit for apartment life or a home. She’s a leash walking pro who listens beautifully, so whether you’re heading out for a stroll around the block or a romp in the park, she’s happiest right by your side. And if she has a sunny backyard to lounge in? Even better she’ll happily soak up the rays before floating back inside for cuddles with her favorite people. Rapunzel is ready to charm her way into your heart and home!
Rapunzel is a resilient, soulful girl who has survived her tower and is looking for her forever after. She’s easy going, incredible with other dogs, and has just enough affection to give without being overbearing. She’s the perfect blend of a polite roommate and a loyal best friend.

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.
