Story
Meet Lizzie, the gentlest lady with a calm ease that can only be described as natural therapy. With eyes you could talk into for hours, a peaceful presence, and gorgeous good looks, this girl was put here to be the calm in this sometimes crazy world.
Lizzie is sized somewhere between a small greyhound and a large whippet, weighing 54 lbs. We estimate her to be 3 years old which has something to do with her calm presence but keep in mind, given she is a rescue, we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Now, both whippet and grey hound evoke thoughts of a high energy, need for speed type of dog and that Lizzie is not. When we introduced her to new dogs she was polite and calm but never showed us her top speed. She happily existed with the other dogs and before long she was laying in the shade. Lizzie is very fortunate to be waiting for her adoption day in a loving home with a wide variety of other dogs. Her foster parent shared that she doesn’t run and play as much as she likes to “wrestle.” You’ll see a little of it in her video but just imagine a small, tumble-ball made up of two dogs just rolling around together. It's pretty cute! Take a look then come back to read more - https://youtu.be/zCrXnJZ-kWo
Lizzie met two 4 year olds on the day we spent time together and we were all impressed by how calm and gently she approached them. They were just as calm and gentle with her which helped her feel at ease. She would be a lovely dog for a family who thrives on chill vibes but we can also imagine her being the perfect speed for someone looking for a companion to enjoy a sweet, simple life with. It isn’t going to take much for her to be happy, a peaceful home, a cozy play to lay, and leisurely walks.
Thanks to the fact that Lizzie is fostered we do know she is house and crate trained and has great house manners. An ideal home is flexible though. Thanks to her size and calm nature she doesn’t need much, she has basic leash skills and is continuing to learn, apartment living would be great. A home with a yard and a chill, low-medium energy level doggie pal would be dreamy though. She will be a wonderful, easy addition to any home, making every guest feel welcome and always ready to hear about your day. Her calm, gentle nature make her an absolute dream of a companion. Lizzie is a true sweetheart and is going to be a loving, adoring companion for anyone she shares this life with. Adopt her before she’s snatched up—she’s a gem

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)!

You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where 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 trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
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.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
