Run, don’t walk and snatch this cutie up before you lose out on the opportunity because Tassie Sugar won’t be available long! When we say she is absolute perfection, please believe it! Tassie Sugar personality is by far the sweetest and she has the best well-balanced energy. Not only is her personality the absolute best but she’s also stinking adorable! I mean, just look at that forever puppy dog face, those cute freckles on her nose, and the fluff! Y’all the fluff is to die for. The kind of fluffy that makes her irresistibly squishy. You almost can’t help but want to squeeze her because she’s that cute.
Watch her video and fall in love with this cutie: https://youtu.be/N5AAtHl-fNY?si=WqP6lfgZ9Uq3N_mn
Tassie Sugar is believed to be a Border Collie/Lab mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs about 37 lbs. One of the very first things that we noticed about Tassie is her energy level!! We are guessing she might have be border collie or maybe even blue heeler and they are known for having a ton of energy and need so much exercise and stimulation. Not Tassie though! She actually has a pretty relaxed demeanor and is so mellow! Of course, she still has some energy, she’s not a total couch potato (unless you want her to be because she will absolutely be a total couch girl if you want). She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
It’s a given this bundle of joy is absolutely adorable and such a happy gal, but she is so much more than that. She loves every person she meets and truly knows no stranger! Connections with Tassie are instantaneous. When people first meet her, they immediately comment on how adorable and friendly she is. The most common phrase used by everyone who meets her is something along the lines of how sweet and friendly she is. Tassie is such a go-with-the-flow type of girly who is happy regardless of where she is or who she is with. It’s almost impossible not to immediately fall for her friendly and goofy personality.
Tassie is super dog friendly and has gotten along great with every dog we have introduced her to and is currently being fostered in a multi dog home. She’s been with super dominant males, dominant females, really shy and shutdown dogs, dogs that like to roughhouse, play chase, dogs that just like to hangout and do their own thing, and she’s been a perfect princess with them all. She does great meeting dogs on leash and even does great meeting dogs off leash as well. Tassie loves making friends with other dogs and already has amazing social skills.
She is good about matching the energy of the other dogs. She will play when play is invited and will enjoy those relaxing hangout moments too. When she does play, she has a very gentle playstyle and enjoys running around playing games of chase rather than physical rumble tumble play. Tassie shares affection with other dogs too, no jealousy here and she is also comfortable sharing treats around other dogs as well. She is just a sweet baby that has such a go with the flow personality. We would love to see her in a home with another dog, but she would be completely fine as your one and only as well.
Tassie also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. She did not chase Biggie, nor was she bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around her as well. We do not know if she has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing her with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for her to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!
Tassie is already so well behaved and according to her foster, already has wonderful house manners too. She is mastering her leash skills and comes prepped already knowing a couple of basic commands such as sit and down. She loves treats, is eager to please, and has already proven she’s a smart little girl. The perfect trifecta for any additional training you would like to do with her in the future. It’ll be an enjoyable bonding experience for you both. Her foster reports that she has not had one accident in the house and never gave the impression of even attempting.
Tassie would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can romp around, stretch her legs, play with her toys, and relax in the sun. She also has the potential of thriving in an apartment/condo setting as well with the proper exercise and socialization. She doesn’t need much but a long walk to the park, a place where she can play fetch, or even in-home mental stimulation puzzles. She would love that too. In all honesty though, she is completely happy being a total couch potato as well.
So get ready for lazy Sunday movie marathon snuggles with Tassie because that’s what’s going to happen. She’ll enjoy mini adventures as well, just be prepared to be stopped by everyone because she’s so stinking cute. Tassie is the best of both worlds in our eyes. We haven’t seen Tassie around kids just yet and we can absolutely test that for you. Based on what we already know about her, we believe she would make a great family dog.
We are willing to test Tassie Sugar with anything you need in order to ensure it’s a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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.
