About Me

Mmm-mmm, don’t you want a taste of these adorable Texas rescues? Prickly Pear and Jalapeño are two of the best flavors of the Lone Star State. This pair was initially part of a litter of eight that was rescued with their mama, Miss Texas. After a few weeks, these adorable siblings are the last ones left from their pack! 

Prickly Pear is a loving little girl who is thriving in her foster home! She has a playful, joyful temperament and loves running around with the other resident dogs. We estimate she will grow anywhere from 30-50 pounds, so she will also be a great size one day! Prickly Pear is your classic example of a “San Antonio Special,” but our best guess is that she has some Labrador Retriever and Border Collie mixed in. Both of these breeds are known for their intelligence and fun-loving attitudes. If you live an active lifestyle or have children, this pup might be the perfect addition to your home. At her young age, she will adjust well to most home environments as long as you can offer an adequate amount of time, training and patience. So, if you’re hankering for some southern cuisine, plate up this yummy pup! Apply to meet Prickly Pear today!

Gigi had the best weekend EVER! 🎀🌻🦴

For those of you that don’t know this girl, Gigi has come a long way. When we first met her, she was suffering from a broken jaw due to unknown trauma. She was in pain, terrified and alone.

The good news is, Gigi’s injury was easily fixable. A wire was placed behind her canine and passed through her mandible to secure the fracture. 😷 She is now eating soft food and recovering like a champ in foster care!

Over the past two weeks, Gigi has really started to flourish. She will nap on her pillow for hours then wander up for snuggles and treats. She gets along well with the other dogs in the home, too. 🌷💛

Gigi is a shining example of how a little bit of love and patience can transform a dog’s life. Please consider adopting her or donating towards her surgery costs.
