There's nothing that I love more than a black dog that has a personality that is out of this world. Poo-ka Nacua has a personality that is one-of-a-kind, unlike anything you've ever seen. He's got that special spark in his golden brown eyes that instantly draw you in making every moment with him feel unique. He's the kind of dog that wins you over instantly with his loyalty, gentle nature, and loving spirit. Whether he's showing off his funny antics, curling up for some snuggles, or gazing up at you with those soulful eyes, you'll quickly see he's in a league of his own. His personality shines through with everything the does and he will be that dog that you will never be able to forget.

Poo-ka Nacua is a lab pittie mix approximately 3 years old and a gentle giant at 70 lbs of pure sweetness. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. We are certain that this hunk of love will be your ultimate best friend.
If you're someone who likes to go on hikes, love to explore the outdoors, and want a buddy to take with you, Poo-ka is your guy! He has an adventurous heart, loves to explore new trails, and is always ready to tackle the next peak. One thing that is super impressive about Poo-ka when you're out on a walk with him is that he will stop and wait until it's safe before crossing the street without you even having to tell him. He will pull initially on leash out of excitement but he is very easy to correct and after a few leash corrections, he's walking like a true gentleman. He's always up for an adventure, but once the day winds down, he's just as happy to curl and enjoy a peaceful, relaxing evening with his people. He loves snuggles on the couch, content to be close and soak up the love and warmth of his family. He's the perfect balance of adventure and affection.
When it comes to training, Poo-ka is a treat lover through and through, making any additional training with him a breeze! He already knows some basic commands such as sit and he takes treats very gently too. Whether is basic obedience or fun tricks, he's always ready to show off his skills for that extra treat. With a little patience and consistency, Poo-ka is sure to be a fast learner and a joy to train.
Poo-ka is very dog friendly and has been in multiple play groups with a wide variety of different types of dogs all with varying personalities. He loves zooming around the yard with his doggy friends, enjoying bursts of energy while running and exploring. Poo-ka doesn't need constant playtime to be happy. He'll engage in some light play and a game of "tag you're it" from time to time, enjoying the company of other dogs without getting too rowdy. He's more of a relaxed, independent spirit, but when it's time to run and have fun, he's all in. We love watching him get the zoomies in the yard and watching him run as fast as he can with so much happiness in eyes. He's perfect for a home with other female dogs that are goofy and submissive, that like to enjoy both quiet moment and a little bit of fun. Poo-ka would also do best in a kitty free home as well.
Poo-ka has all of the qualities of being a wonderful family dog. He's been around a 6 year old boy and showed nothing but gentleness --- never jumping on him, just offering sweet, gentle kisses. He's fantastic with strangers, always eager to make new friends and wagging his tail in greetings. He'll also try to sneak in a few kisses too if you let him. His loving nature makes him the perfect companion for family gatherings, whether it's a backyard cookout or having visitors over for Sunday football. Poo-ka will fit right in with his warm and approachable demeanor and he'll be a joy to have around the house, spreading the love to everyone he meets.
We are willing to test Poo-ka Nacua with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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!

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.
