The adoption fee for this dog is $550 which helps with the cost of routine vet care. This fee DOES NOT INCLUDE spay/neuter. You will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered. A $100.00 will be returned to the adopter once the animal has been sterilized. We will need proof of sterilization from the vet in order to receive the $100.

Background Story: Texas — The week of Thanksgiving 2025, when most were tucked away in warmth, a group of tiny, helpless puppies were found abandoned in the cold, alone, and fighting for survival. With their eyes barely open and bodies shivering, these fragile souls were discovered in a desperate situation, having been left out in the elements.

It was a heartbreaking scene—far too young to be without their mother. But amidst the neglect, a miracle happened. Kind hearts intervened, rushing them to safety just in time.

After weeks of round-the-clock bottle feeding, medical care, and immense love from dedicated foster families in Texas, these, the "Thanksgiving Miracle Puppies," have blossomed! They have transformed from frail, frightened infants into playful, healthy, and happy puppies ready to take on the world.

98% of our adoptables come from out of state. There are higher fees associated as we have to pay to have the animals transported. We are a non-profit rescue. Any access revenue made is used to care for animals with additional medical expenditures that would otherwise result in adoptable dogs having to be left behind and euthanized.
