My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Have you ever wanted a dog that will love you unconditionally no matter what? Well look no further because Courage perfect dog for you! He is the kind of guy who’ll make you smile with his silly antics, yet melt your heart with his gentle, innocent nature. He’s a sweet, sensitive pup who thrives on love and companionship. With a playful spirit and a heart full of kindness, his innocence and charm will have you falling for him in no time! It also helps that he has the cutest little face perfect for smooching all over.

Courage is a pittie mix approximately 1 year old and weighing in at just 45 lbs, this little guy packs a lot of personality and affection. Perfectly sized for any home. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.

One of my favorite things about Courage is his silly personality!! Oh my goodness will this guy have you laughing non stop. His silly side really shows when you’re inside just hanging out. One second your there minding your own business and then there’s Courage, living his best life rolling all over the couch, playfully tumbling between the pillows with pure joy. He wiggles and squirms, paws flying in the air, as is the cushions were made just for his fun, building his own little fort out of them. You can’t help but laugh as he dives into the pillows, completely caught up in his own little world of bliss. It's a moment pure unfiltered happiness, and you can see how much fun he's having as he bounces from one pillow to the next, tail wags and all. Courage extends this same amount of pure joy to toys as well. Especially the with the toys that squeak. He would be a great companion to have around if you work from home too because of how easily he entertains himself.

When he's not making you laugh with his goofy antics, he's curled up beside you soaking up all of the affection you have to offer. His silly side will keep you smiling all day, but when it's time to relax, he's the ultimate cuddle buddy. Courage loves to crawl into your lap, give you gentle kisses and roll over in hopes of belly rubs. He's the perfect mix of silly and sweet.

Courage is dog friendly and loves to play with other dogs. He has a gentle and easy going play style that's perfect for romping around in the yard with friends. He's always up for some fun, and never too rough -- he's all about running around, hopping, and enjoying the moment. When he's not romping around with doggy friends, you'll find him snuggling up wit his people getting all of the affection, or exploring the yard. In a home he would be best placed with a fun-loving female that has a medium energy, one who enjoys playtime but also knows when it's time to sit back and relax enjoying the evening with their people by their side. Courage would also be great as your one and only companion as well. He does not need the company of another dog to help him feel comfortable, he's a happy smiley guy all on his own. There is also no shortage of affection around with this guy either. You'll find that he has enough love to share with everyone around him.

Courage is currently in a foster home with 3 kids age 4-9, a female nonplayful older dog and a senior cat and thriving. His favorite people are the kids by far!
Courage's ideal home would be with a family that would like to take their new companion on walks through out the neighborhood followed by cozy evenings curled up on the couch for movie nights. He enjoys backyard play sessions whether it's a short game of his version of fetch (chase and not retrieve) or simply running around to stretch his legs. If you enjoy a laid-back lifestyle with occasional bursts of play, Courage is the perfect companion for you.

We are willing to test Courage 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.

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. 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!

You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

The adoption fee is $825 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

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.
