Story
Meet Marty! This adorable fluffers weighs only 11 lbs, is about 2 years old, and we think he may be a Poodle/Schnauzer mix, but with rescue it's always a guess! This dog is from a part of the US where dogs are regularly euthanized. So, this dog needs you! If you choose a dog from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place.
Watch Marty's video here:
Are you ready for unlimited snuggly fluffy love and affection? That's Marty Fluffkins in a nutshell, and he's ready to find his perfect forever home where he can spread smiles and joy. Marty recently underwent a rather severe haircut due to mats in his fur, but we think he's even more adorable now - he is still incredibly soft and fluffy, and absolutely squishable! (We've tested this, somewhat extensively. Marty is incredibly patient and doesn't mind, lol.)
This affectionate little guy enjoys all the attention and affection you can give him, especially chest scratches and belly rubs, and will return the favour with lots of kisses and snuggles. He is not a big barker, but will show his interest with head and ear tilts (which are pretty entertaining to watch). This patient fellow allowed us to dress him up in a variety of hats, bowties, and sweaters, all without batting a single long, soft eyelash. Not one of us is immune to Marty's waggy tail, his soft floppy ears, or his joyful and loving attitude - we think Marty's pretty darn special and are sure that you will too!
Marty is currently in a loving and experienced foster home with another older dog, and they get along so well. They sleep together and play together and we couldn't be more pleased to hear how quickly Marty adapts to new surroundings. Marty is already potty- and crate-trained, and knows some basic commands like 'sit'. He is still working on learning the doggy door, but we don't doubt that this clever cookie will soon master that as well. Marty enjoys soft stuffy toys and playtime with his foster sibling, but much prefers to be in a cozy bed or your lap most of the time - pretty much wherever you are is where Marty wants to be! We predict that Marty will be a champion companion!

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)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. 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!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!
The adoption fee is $1600 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

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.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

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.
