Story
Brenda Corsa is all about balance. Does she love a good play session or walk? Yes! Does she also love to snuggle up for cozy cuddlesome? Umm..absolutely yes! That is my kind of girl, one with dog-life balance. You have already seen her face but take a minute to watch her in action so you can soak in just how amazingly cute everything about her is. From the tip of her nose to the end of her tail she has unique adorable all over. https://youtu.be/A0lq1emcdBE
We estimate that Brenda is a year old and she currently weighs 58 lbs. Given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee age or breed but we would guess she has some mastiff in there. Just look at that face of hers. If you get her DNA done after adoption do share the results, we love knowing alongside you!
Brenda is fostered in a home with two parents, a 9 year old daughter, and three dogs- one small and spicy, one small and moody, and one just her size who is equally playful. Her foster family shared that she was an easy addition to their home from the start. They shared “She is crate trained, house broken (not a single accident!), and she rides in trucks like an old pro. If the front door opens, she heads straight to the truck—she’s all about those rides!” On top of that they praise her for her ability to know exactly who’s up for playtime and who’d rather snooze on the couch. She’s all about making friends and we saw the same thing when we spent the afternoon with her. She was introduced to a handful of dogs and it is easy to see, she has great dog manners and leads with a playful friendly approach. If the dog does not return that playfulness she moves on without any concern. Plus, she is a toy-lover!. Fetch, tug-of-war, squeaky toys—she’s always up for some fun and the best part is that she can self entertain.
In addition to meeting new dogs, we introduced her to our house cat and she showed us the qualities we look for in order to label a dog as cat-tolerant. She met him politely, was not pushy, did not bark at him and quickly moved on barely paying him any attention despite him being in the room with us for some time. This girl is made for a multi-pet home.
Her foster family shared this with us when discussing her personality and experience with her- “We’ve had so much fun fostering her and know she’s going to make someone really happy. She’s just an awesome dog all around. If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, toy-loving, truck-riding buddy, Corsa’s your girl. Whoever scoops her up is going to be so lucky!”
I just had to share because you can just her the love in those words!
We would love to see her in a home with a playful dog who equally understands play is fun but long naps are too. Although she has potential to be an apartment girlie thanks to her ease on leash, size and quiet nature, we would love to see her in a home with a yard to play in. She is very people friendly and a lovebug. She’ll cozy up to anyone who’s willing to give her some pets so if you are a house with an open-door, everyones welcome approach to life, Brenda promises to be part of the welcoming crew. Kids, grown-ups, strangers—it doesn’t matter. Welcome!

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.
