Story
Y'all....boys like these are kryptonite! The secret sauce that makes ever better. The key to your heart. The heart stealer you can't resist. His name is Danny Zuko and he is an absolute DREAM! For starters, look at those eyes! He has the type of eyes that people wish they had. You can't help by be captivated by them. Also, he has a permanent puppy face and the softest most unique coat I've ever seen. When it comes to appearance, everything about Danny is 10/10. Looks can only get you so far in life as we all know. Luckily for Danny, he doesn't have to worry about that because he has an even better personality!! He is kid friendly, dog friendly, affectionate, and sweeter than a snicker.
Watch his video and fall in love with this handsome hunk: https://youtu.be/-jeilHvN9pI?si=CxPRgH4R_GTeDNRY
Danny Zuko is a pittie mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 67 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Danny is dog friendly and has done great with all of the dogs we have introduced him to. He loves dogs who love to play and have a happy go lucky vibe about them. When he finds a buddy who's just as playful as he is, it's all about floppy mouths, loosey-goosey faces, wrestling matches that are the dog form of a pillow fight, and a game of tag you're it from time to time. He's not all play all the time either, so no need to worry about your house turning to into a 24/7 dog park. He appreciates those calmer moments and after a good wrestling match, play breaks end mutually and you’ll find him off exploring or he’s next to a person soaking in all the affection. He would be best in a home with a dog who is looking for a playmate that can match his play style, one that also enjoys the company of another dog, and appreciates those calmer relaxing moments as well.
When it comes to training, this boy loves treats and will do anything for a treat and some encouragement. Treats are one of the ways to this boy's heart. He takes treats very gently too and I love the way his mouth just barely touches your hand to where you can feel how soft and fuzzy his lips are. Which are smooth like butter. Danny already knows how to sit and will even automatically sit for you too from time to time. On a walk, Danny does pull a little bit at the beginning out of initial excitement but after a few minutes and some guidance he is walking like a gentleman and is an enjoyable walking buddy. He has a curious nose and likes to smell all the smells while also looking up and checking in with you from time to time. Especially if you're telling him how handsome he is LOL he looks up at you with the biggest smile. He is crate trained and potty trained as well. He will need a reminder about where the appropriate potty places are once he arrives at his forever home and while he settles into his new routine. We have noticed that he does best when he can get a couple of potty breaks throughout the day.
Danny would thrive in a home with a semi-active family looking for a buddy to take with them on adventures, explore those trails you have saved on the map, and a loving companion for you to show them all about what it means to be loved and cherished. He would do best in a home with a backyard in the suburbs where he can stretch his legs, romp around, and enjoy the sunshine rather than in the heart of the city.
We are willing to test Danny Zuko with anything out need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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.
