Story
Looking for a co-pilot who is as chill as a Sunday morning but ready for a brewery patio at a moment’s notice? Meet Baby Bear, the leash walking legend and professional social butterfly who is ready to steal your heart!
Bear is the definition of a best of both worlds kind of guy. He’s got that magic touch where he’s incredibly tuned in to his person, kind of like a total shadow who checks in constantly. Although he’s just as happy to kick back and watch the world go by, perfectly content soaking it all in without needing to steal the spotlight. Baby Bear is a total heart melter! He’s the kind of dog who is happy to work for a treat, but even happier to just be wherever you are!

We think this silly guy is a Plott Hound mix, making him that perfect medium sized package! At 41lbs, he is sturdy enough for walks but small enough to fit comfortably in the backseat for a coffee run. With those soulful eyes, one striking blue and one warm brown! Baby Bear is a total head turner. His gorgeous brindle coat only adds to his good looks, giving him that extra touch of “who is that handsome guy?” energy. Of course, being a rescue means his breed mix is a bit of a mystery.
Baby Bear is currently living his best life in a foster home, where he’s proven to be a total household pro. He is crate and potty trained! Car rides are seriously his favorite, if you’re headed to Home Depot or grabbing a latte, Bear is already waiting by the door with his “take me with you” eyes! He’s also a perfect work from home companion, happily keeping you company while you tackle your day. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and snuggly sidekick, Baby Bear is ready to steal your heart (and maybe your spot on the couch)!
When it comes to other dogs, Bear is a total rockstar! He is just a big, playful puppy at heart who loves a good game of chase. He’s incredibly respectful of other dogs' boundaries, takes corrections like a champ, and knows exactly when to take a "paws" and chill out on his own. He would thrive in a home with another medium-energy dog who can match his playful spirit but also enjoys a good afternoon nap. However, he is equally happy to be your "one and only." While he loves his canine buddies, Bear is more than content to soak up all the spotlight and be the sole recipient of your love and attention. Whether he’s part of a pack or the king of the castle, Bear is ready to move in!
Is Baby Bear a fan of the felines? Absolutely, he’s proven he can hang with his feline friends like a true gentleman. No funny business here, just polite sniffs, respectful vibes, and maybe a shared nap or two. Baby Bear’s ready to be everyone’s bestie, whiskers included!
Baby Bear is a versatile fellow! He’s so well behaved on a leash and has great impulse control, he could potentially rock the apartment life as long as he gets his small adventures every now and then. However, he’d also love a yard to zoom around in. To top it off, he is a world class cuddler who will gladly share the couch for a movie marathon. Plus, if you're a fan of road trips, you're in luck he is fantastic in the car and ready for any journey you have in mind!
Baby Bear is a goofy, cuddly, and incredibly polished little gentleman who is just waiting for a family to call his own. He’s got the brains of a working dog and the soul of a full time, professional lap warmer (yes, it’s a very serious job and he takes it very seriously).

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.
