Story
Holy heck, this dog is about as angelic as any one dog can get! Let me introduce you to Aspen, he is a young, mellow soul with built in “gentle-giant” energy. I would be hard pressed to find something negative to say about him.
Aspen has been so fortunate and is living in a loving foster home while he waits for his adoption day. His foster home includes young children, a wide variety of dogs, cats, and even a chinchilla- all of which he gets along with gently and perfectly. He is just a gentle boy- equal parts playful and peaceful. easygoing, and good-natured. One of the cutest things he does is how he politely will ask for affection by placing his head in your lap and hitting you with those warm brown eyes like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

Aspen is estimated to be around 8 months old, about 40 lbs, and we’re guessing he may be a Great Pyrenees mix (as always with rescue pups, we can’t guarantee breed or exact age). He is fostered in a loving home with kids, cats, other dogs, and even a chinchilla, and the consensus is simple- he is actually perfect! Aspen is a recent tripod but he truly doesn’t treat it like a big deal. He’s still healing (you’ll see that in his video), but he’s already running, playing, and bouncing back with that sweet puppy resilience. His amputation was necessary but he’s handling it all with a steady, sunny spirit.
With dogs, he is a great companion and fun playmate. He meets new dogs calmly and it isnt long before he is inviting them to play and run with him. He would love a home with a playful but lower energy dog friend who would like to play but isn’t going for non-stop, marathon play sessions.
Cats? Aspen is feline-friendly! We call his approach- respectfully cautious. When he met our house cat, he walked up to him calmly, did a quick smell & check in, then walked away, and when encouraged to get closer, he chose to go lay down. In other words he was saying“I’m just here to be peaceful- no rush.”
Aspen could be a great fit in lots of homes, including a family home, and he seems like the kind of pup who’d be happy tagging along for outings and adventures as he continues building strength and confidence. For apartments, it may simply depend on the setup since he’s a tripod and still healing, but temperament-wise he’s the kind of dog that will make anywhere he is better and a whole love sweeter.
If Aspen’s gentle way sounds like the energy your home needs, apply to adopt him today! A boy like him will not be available for long

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.
