Story
Speckles is the perfect mix of homebody and playful. She loves being rocked like a little baby, and she also loves to run around and play with her people in the yard! Speckles is dog friendly, cat friendly and her small size makes for the perfect snuggle fest. She is wonderful on a leash and overall just wants love more than anything in the whole wide world! Can you give Speckles the loving home she deserves?

Her foster let us know that Speckles is the friendliest dog she has ever met! Wow! She met Speckles as just a little skinny puppy, looking for scraps of food in a neighbors yard. She sat with Speckles and passed her a plate of dog food, but Speckles jumped straight into her lap and smoothered her with kisses instead! This is pretty much how Speckles greets everyone she meets, so be prepared for lots of sloppy wet kisses coming your way-- you wont be disappointed! If Speckles catches you looking at her, she will roll over for belly pats that you just cant resist! She LOVES to snuggle and has never been known to turn down a kiss or a cuddle!
Speckles is very dog friendly and did great meeting all of the dogs we introduced her too. She did so well right off the bat meeting new dogs on leash and off. Not only did she do great with all the dogs, but she also showed us that she knows how to share the love and shares affection with other dogs. She is a little shy at first when meeting new dogs for the first time but it doesn't take her long to open up and want to play. She has a gentle play still and does best with other gentle and dainty dogs like her self. Speckles is small dog friendly too is currently fostered with one. They are besties! Also, here's a bonus...Speckles is cat friendly too and did great meeting our house cat biggie! She wasn't phased by the typical things that cats do like jumping on counters, playing with their flirt pole toys, meowing, all the things. She would sniff and walk away. We do not know if Speckles has ever lived in a home with a cat before nor can we guarantee that things won't change once in a home. We do believe that with slow and proper introductions, Speckles has the potential to live with a kitty friend in the home.
Speckles loves the car, jumping in and heading straight for the window. She eventually falls asleep in her seat, which is just so sweet! She rides easily and calmly, although she may try to sneak in a kiss or two here and there. Speckles is learning fetch, she zooms to the ball, but hasnt quite figured out how to give it back yet. Silly Speckles! Speckles loves toys and she enjoys having something to chew on, so a basket full of rubber bones and toys would be ideal to have on hand with this one! A kong or other enrichment toy could be really beneficial to keep her entertained and out of trouble! She goes on daily walks in her foster home and does great! Walks or daily excersize will be important for her to get her energy out. Speckles does well in new places and going out in public. We could see her running errands or going to the park with her new family!
Speckles would love a big backyard and an active family. She is a smart little lady, eager to please, and treat motivated. You know what that means....any additional training you want to do with Speckles will be fun and enjoyable for you both as well as great bonding time. We have not seen Speckles with kids just yet but based off what we already know and the fact that she is a gentle and goofy girl, we do see her being a great family dog. We are happy to test Speckles with any age group you may need! Just say the word!
Speckles is the warmest, and sweetest dog! She adores everyone and would be a fantastic companion whether you are cuddling at home on the couch or out on an adventure! She would be a fantastic addition to her new family.

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!

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.
