Story
Meet Cassidy, the almost three-year-old pitty–lab mix (we think!) who looks like a tiny tiger, smiles like a cartoon character, and has the voice of someone who always has thoughts to share. Her coat is this gorgeous almost-brindle swirl, and when the sun hits her just right, she looks like a cinnamon roll with legs.
Cassidy is a toy enthusiast — truly, professionally. The moment you open the door to the backyard, she launches herself outside like, “HELLO, I HAVE IMPORTANT FETCH BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO.” She’ll grab her favorite toy, trot over to you proudly, and then gently nudge the ball toward your feet like a little soccer prodigy trying out for Team USA. And if you take too long to throw it? Don’t worry. She’ll speak. And yes, she knows speak on command… but she also knows sit, lay down, shake, spin, and approximately 700 versions of “look how cute I am.”
Watch her video to see her cuteness in action!

Cassidy is a sweet, sensitive gal who really blossoms when things are calm and predictable. She’s not the “jump right into your lap within five seconds” type — she’s more of a “let me observe everything first, narrate it out loud, and then decide you are my person forever” vibe. Once she settles in, though, she is loyal, goofy, snuggly, and full of personality.
With other dogs, she’s kind of like the kid in class who wants friends but also wants everyone to please, respectfully, not tackle her. She LOVES hanging out with chill dogs who greet politely and don’t smash into her like a furry wrecking ball. She actually thrives with a doggy buddy who’s calm, confident, and happy to co-exist or do low-key play. Think: “let’s vibe together” energy, not “LET’S WRESTLE RIGHT NOW.” Perfect balance.
Cassidy also lives with a cat! Biggie the cat did his “I am fearless and will walk directly up to this dog like I own the planet” thing, and Cassidy was like “ummm… boundaries??” But in a normal home where cats do normal cat things, she coexists just fine — she’s just not prepared for a cat who introduces himself so eagerly. We would definitely recommend some more kitty testing just to ensure that Cassidy is feline friend approved!
She’s also living with older kiddos who think her “talking” is hilarious and adorable — because it is. She chats, but not in a “problem” way, more like “I am full of opinions and I would like them known.” For younger kids, we’d want to test things out just to make sure everybody is on the same wavelength of “Cassidy’s voice = comedy, not concern.” She can also be a bit jumpy, spinny, and overall bouncy, so older kiddos might be best overall!
Cassidy would love a home where nobody minds a little joyful barking, where neighbors aren’t going to file a complaint when she announces “GOOD MORNING, I AM EXCITED!” A house with a backyard is definitely her dream — it’s her stage, her stadium, her fetch arena.
She will need some decompression and patience at first, but once she finds her people, she is all in. Silly, smart, loyal, toy-obsessed, talkative, gentle-hearted Cassidy is the perfect mix of fun and sweetness. She’s a total doll and she’s ready for her forever family — preferably one with a chill doggy sibling, a sense of humor, and a love for backyard soccer.
Ready to meet your new best friend with the cutest voice and the cutest smile? Cassidy is waiting. 🐾

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.
