Story
We have all met those dog- the ones you meet and immediately know were put on this earth to spread joy and have fun. That’s Lasso Hedwig! You can see it in his eyes from across the way and if somehow you miss it, his bouncy, goofy run towards you will fill in all the blanks. The boy is joy on long and loose legs! He approaches life with a bounce, a toy in his mouth whenever possible, and the firm belief that every person, every dog, and even a boring ol’ mud puddle is a potential new best friend/goodtime.
Go watch Lasso Hedwig Happy Bounce on YouTube, then come right back to read more. You'll quickly understand why we suspect water is going to be one of his great loves. The first time this cheerful boy spotted a giant mud puddle, he didn't stop to consider his options. He launched himself into it with complete confidence! And who are we to argue? Sometimes the best memories begin with dirty paws.

Lasso is so fortunate and is waiting for his forever in a loving foster home complete with kids, a wide variety of other dogs and a steady stream of toys. Whether he's racing around the yard with the kids, matching the energy of his canine friends, or simply trailing behind his favorite people to see what adventure comes next, Lasso has mastered the art of being exactly where the fun is without ever creating the chaos. Estimated to be just shy of a year old, Lasso is very much enjoying the carefree chapter of puppyhood while already showing the wonderful manners of a dog who's learning how to be an excellent family companion. As with all rescue dogs, his age and breed- possibly a Pyrenese/Lab mix, is simply our best educated guess.
Lasso’s foster family has shared that he is house trained, crate trained, wonderful with children, and settled into home life beautifully. He's become the perfect playmate for dogs who enjoy an active wrestling buddy, but he's just as happy to settle into everyday family life once playtime winds down. His foster describes him as an incredibly easy and fun dog to have around, and that's a phrase that comes up again and again when talking about him.
One of our favorite things about Lasso is how naturally social he is. New people are greeted with happy curiosity and polite manners. New dogs are welcomed with the same easy confidence. He enjoys toys tremendously and, even better, has lovely sharing skills that make him an enjoyable companion during group play. There's an easy rhythm to the way he moves through life that makes him fit comfortably into whatever the day happens to hold. Feline friends welcome too! Lasso met our house cat and all signs point to him being understanding that cats are to be respected- not chased or played with.
When the zoomies are over, you'll often find him shadowing his people or happily following the kids around the yard, content simply being part of whatever they're doing. He doesn't need to be the center of attention. He just wants to be included in the fun, and that quiet desire to be part of his family's adventures makes him especially endearing.
Lasso would LOVE a home with another playful dog because he genuinely enjoys having a canine buddy/playmate, but more than anything, he's looking for an active family that appreciates a cheerful companion who is always ready for the next adventure, whether that's a walk through the neighborhood, an afternoon tossing toys, or discovering a new watering hole to splash around in.
If you're searching for a young dog who brings smiles, good manners, playful energy, and a wonderfully easygoing outlook wherever he goes, Lasso Hedwig is exactly the sidekick you've been waiting for. We can't wait to see the adventures that lie ahead for you and this happy boy!

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.
