Hope Happy Pup - Black Labrador Retriever and German Shorthaired Pointer Dog for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

Meet Hope!

Hope is a 4-month-old Lab mix (breed is our best guess!) with a face that could brighten anyone's day. With her soft, velvety black coat, floppy ears, sparkling brown eyes, and the sweetest little puppy smile, she's the kind of pup people can't help but stop and admire. She's incredibly photogenic -- but even cuter in person.

Watch Hope and her siblings in action!

Hope is being raised in a loving foster home alongside her siblings, where she's surrounded by love, playtime, and lots of puppy adventures. She absolutely adores wrestling with her siblings, chasing toys around the yard, and then curling up for a well-earned nap once playtime is over.

She also lives with children and absolutely loves them. Whether she's following them around the yard, joining in on the fun, or soaking up belly rubs, Hope is happiest when she's spending time with her people.

Like any young puppy, she's learning all the important puppy skills. She's doing well with potty training and is learning routines and manners every day. She'll thrive with a family committed to continuing her training, socialization, and helping her grow into the wonderful adult dog she's meant to be.

Hope is the perfect combination of playful, cuddly, and incredibly loving. She's ready for backyard adventures, family movie nights, road trips, and every moment in between. If you're looking for a loyal best friend to grow up alongside your family, Hope is waiting to meet 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.
