Story
If your dream dog is a tiny couch buddy whose favorite hobby is loving you… allow us to introduce Tully Tilly. 💕
At only 35 pounds, Tully is the perfect pocket-sized pittie mix who somehow feels like she weighs about five pounds once she melts into your lap. She is an absolute lover girl through and through. Her favorite place in the whole world isn’t across the room—it’s curled up next to you (or preferably on you), soaking up head scratches, belly rubs, and all the affection you have to offer. If professional cuddling were an Olympic sport, Tully would be bringing home the gold.
She has the sweetest little face, the softest eyes, and one of those souls that instantly makes you feel at home. Whether you’re binge-watching your favorite show, reading a book, working from home, or taking an afternoon nap, Tully is more than happy to be your cozy little shadow.

Her energy level is nice and low, making her an excellent companion for someone looking for a relaxed lifestyle. She’s not the type who needs endless adventures to be happy. Give her a comfy bed, a few leisurely walks, lots of love, and she’ll think she’s won the lottery.
Tully absolutely adores people and has never met a stranger she didn’t want affection from. She allows handling all over her body with ease and is as gentle and sweet as they come. We think she’d do wonderfully with respectful children who understand how to be gentle with dogs, especially since her favorite activity is simply being loved on.
When it comes to other dogs, Tully is wonderfully polite but definitely appreciates good manners. She enjoys calm introductions and can happily coexist with other respectful dogs, but she isn’t interested in rowdy wrestling matches or overly pushy playmates. If another dog gets too much in her personal space, she’ll politely let them know she’d like a little room before immediately moving on. Because of this, she’d thrive as either the only dog soaking up all your attention or with another calm, respectful canine companion who shares her laid-back lifestyle.
Tully has also been introduced to cats and would likely do best with dog-savvy or calm, confident cats who will happily coexist without causing a fuss.
She’s an easy girl to walk, does beautifully on leash, takes corrections well, and has wonderful manners around food and people. She may need a little encouragement getting into a kennel at first, but once settled, she relaxes quickly.
As for apartment living, Tully could absolutely be a wonderful apartment companion depending on the complex’s breed and size restrictions. Her lower energy level and quiet, easygoing personality make her a great fit for cozy living spaces, as long as she still gets her daily strolls and plenty of cuddle time.
Tully isn’t looking for the busiest house on the block—she’s looking for her person. The one whose lap she can claim forever, whose couch she can nap on, and whose heart she’ll fill with endless love. If you’ve been searching for a gentle, affectionate best friend who believes there’s no such thing as too many cuddles, Tully Tilly is ready to make herself at home… preferably curled up right beside you.

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.
