Meet Xena, the warrior princess! She was found as a stray, starving, lonely, and had recently had puppies, but the puppies were nowhere to be found. This poor momma has lived a sad life of neglect and isolation but is now on her way to learning how a pup's life is meant to be lived! 

This girl is a total lapdog! She loves to be cuddled and petted. She sleeps in her kennel at night with no crying or accidents and does not tear up her bedding. She also LOVES water! She enjoys chasing the water from the water hose and doesn't mind getting wet!

She is a PERFECT car rider too! Doesn't cry or try to climb, she just lays down and is calm as can be! She is learning manners and how to act like a lady. lol

She is fully house-trained with ZERO accidents in the house! Xena is ready to find her people and forever home!

ADOPTION FEE:  The adoption fee includes vaccinations, bordetella, deworming, rabies, Microchip including a lifetime registration and spay/neuter.  

PUPPIES   Texas State law requires that we sterilize any animal adopted through this agency.     This will normally occur between 5 and 6 months at one of our approved veterinarians at the expense of the rescue.

Children under 8 years old  often are not a good match for our puppies and dogs.   In order to protect both, your child and our rescued dogs/puppies from harm, we seldom if ever adopt to families with young children.

Approval:  You will be notified via email once your application is approved.  Once notified, we will schedule a meet and greet at one of our approved locations.   Thank you for considering a rescue!

The adoption fee includes vaccinations, Bordetella, de-worming, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip. There is a an additional $12.99 fee for Home Again for a lifetime registration of the microchip.

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
