Chai Latte Extra Cinnamon - Labrador Retriever and Hound Dog for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

Meet Chai Latte Extra Cinnamon!

If you thought fall couldn't get any cozier, think again - Chai has entered the chat. This 4-month-old Labrador Retriever/Hound mix is everything her name promises: warm, sweet, and full of the kind of charm that makes you want to scoop her right up.

She's got the coloring of her namesake too - a gorgeous tan fawn sable coat that looks like it was swirled together just for her. Add in a pair of the floppiest ears you've ever seen and the kindest, softest eyes, and you've got a puppy who's basically impossible not to fall for at first sight.

At just 4 months old, Chai is still every bit the baby - curious, clumsy, and full of that irresistible puppy energy that makes even her mistakes adorable. She's got a whole lot of growing left to do, both in size and in confidence, and she's looking for a family who's ready for the joys (and the chaos) of raising a puppy from the ground up: the training, the teething, the zoomies, and the naps that hit like a light switch. Chai is a quick study who's happy to play along with whatever you're up to, whether that's learning a new trick or getting dressed up in a cute outfit (yes, she's that kind of good sport).

As part of the "Café" litter, Chai has grown up alongside her brothers Matcha and Espresso, giving her wonderful early socialization with other young puppies. Playing, wrestling, exploring, sharing space, and navigating sibling life have all been part of her everyday routine. She'd likely enjoy having a playful canine friend in her future home, although plenty of human attention and continued socialization can make her just as happy.

With a mix like hers, Chai's got the makings of a loyal, people-oriented companion with plenty of energy to burn as she grows - think fetch, long walks, and a dog who wants to be part of everything you do. For all her puppy spunk, Chai has such a gentle, sweet nature about her - she's soft in her approach and easy to love, the kind of dog who makes everyone around her feel instantly at ease. She's a blank canvas of potential, just waiting for the right people to help shape her into her best self.
If you're ready to fall in love with a puppy who has a big name, an even bigger heart, and the softest eyes in the shelter, Chai Latte Extra Cinnamon might just be your new best friend."

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.
