Story
Wendy Wonderwell is one of those dogs that surely comes from a line of wonderful dogs. She has the kind of easy, joyful, well rounded personality that makes it easy to see why dogs became our best friends. She is the puppy who is ready to greet each day with a wagging tail, toy in mouth, happy to join whatever you're doing, and then curl up beside you when the excitement is over. There is nothing over-the-top or complicated about her. She's simply a wonderfully well-rounded dog who has been given an incredible start in life and is more than ready to become someone's very best friend.
Go watch Wendy Wonderwell on YouTube, then come right back to read more. You'll quickly see what makes her so special. From her happy confidence to her sweet interactions with everyone she meets, Wendy is effortless in the best possible ways.

Estimated to be around 3 months old and currently weighing 12 pounds, Wendy appears to be a mixed breed puppy with possible Rotteweiler/Shepherd somewhere in her line, though as with all rescue dogs, her breed and age are simply our best educated guess.
Wendy is being raised in a loving foster home with kids, dogs, and cats, giving her exactly the kind of thoughtful foundation every puppy deserves. Because of that, she is growing into a confident, social little girl who approaches new experiences with curiosity and enthusiasm while still being wonderfully respectful of those around her.
She is already both near entirely (leaving room for the still growing puppy days) house and crate trained, which is an impressive accomplishment for such a young puppy. Her foster shared that Wendy's last accident in the house was more their oversight than hers. Wendy does an excellent job of letting her people know when she needs to go potty, whether she's relaxing in her crate or happily exploring the house.
She also rides beautifully in the car, making her an easy companion for everything from quick errands to weekend adventures. Having grown up alongside cats, Wendy has learned how to read the room. She'll happily play when invited but is equally respectful when the cats have other plans, fully understanding that "murder mittens" are best admired from a comfortable distance.
Wendy absolutely adores spending time with kids and has all the makings of a fantastic family dog. She has a playful spirit without being overwhelming and the kind of affectionate nature that makes every cuddle feel well-earned after a day of adventures.
Like every puppy, Wendy will continue learning as she grows, but she has already shown herself to be bright, eager to please, and wonderfully receptive to guidance. She is exactly the kind of puppy who makes raising a young dog feel exciting rather than intimidating or a drag.
Wendy isn't just looking for a home. She's looking for the people she'll spend a lifetime growing up with. The ones she'll greet after school, follow into the kitchen, ride shotgun on road trips, and make laugh for years to come. If you're ready for a loyal companion with an exceptional start and an even brighter future, Wendy is ready to come home!

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.
