Story
Looking for a tiny best friend with a big heart and even bigger cuddle goals? Meet your new favorite little shadow, ready to follow you anywhere (yes, even to the mailbox).
This pretty girl is a pint sized bundle of sweetness! She’s the kind of companion who believes personal space is optional and honestly, kind of overrated. Just when you think she can’t get any cuter… her little snaggle tooth pops out to say hello like it’s her signature smile.
Trust us you’re going to want to watch her adoption video… this little lady knows how to steal hearts without even trying.

We believe Annabelle is a Shih Tzu mix, weighing in at a perfectly petite 11 pounds. Small enough to scoop up and carry along, she’s the perfect little companion for cozy moments, couch cuddles, and everyday adventures at your side. As with any rescue, her exact mix is a bit of a mystery but we think that just adds to her charm.
She is currently blossoming in a loving foster home, where she’s spent her days soaking up all the snuggles and warmth she deserves. This sweet girl is a total people person who wears her heart on her sleeve. She leans right in for pets and isn’t shy about showing just how much she loves her humans. Annabelle strolls beautifully on a leash, making every morning walk a peaceful, tail wagging breeze. She’s settled right into the rhythm of home life and is doing a wonderful job learning the ropes of her daily routine. She’s a gentle, easy going soul who just wants to be your best friend. Whether it's a quiet afternoon on the couch or a sunny walk around the block, she’s ready to fill your life with a whole lot of love.
When it comes to her fellow furry friends, she is a bit of an independent spirit who values her personal bubble. She’s perfectly content doing her own thing and doesn’t feel the need to be the center of a dog pile. Annabelle can share her space gracefully with respectful, easygoing dogs who understand her relaxed vibe.While she’s open to a sibling, she would be just as thrilled if not more so to be your one and only, soaking up every single ounce of your affection all for herself!
Her thoughts on cats are still a bit of a mystery! We believe she is willing to share her kingdom with a kitty, but she will have a kitty sleepover as a trial run to ensure they can officially become the bestest of buds!
This sweet girl would thrive in a home where she can be close to her people and enjoy a calm, loving environment. Thanks to her nice leash manners and easygoing nature, she could do wonderfully in an apartment setting. Her biggest requirement? A human (or two!) who appreciates a loyal little sidekick who just wants to love and be loved.
If you’re searching for a soft, snuggly, heart melting companion who will happily be your shadow and your biggest fan, this petite princess is ready to fill that role perfectly.

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.
