Pit Bull Terrier and Mountain Cur Dogs Available for Adoption

Kermit the Dog here and with a name like that would you expect anything but legs ready to bounce and just enough goofiness to keep life fun and full of laughs? Of course not! Kermit is built like he was designed in sport mode, sleek lines, brindle tiger stripes, and he is just the right size! At an estimated 2 years old and 44 lbs, he is biig enough for adventure, small enough to fit perfectly on your couch (or your lap if he gets to choose).

Want to see this brindle babe turned cuddle connoisseur in action? Head to YouTube and search “Kermit | Tiger Stripes & Love-Bug-Vibes” and then come right back to meet the boy behind the bounce. https://youtu.be/h-L-XvcDcho


Kermit is house trained, crate trained, and trusted to free roam in his foster home because his house manners are solid. He rides well in the car, recalls easily off food and toys, and once he settles into a space, he’ll happily lay down and watch TV like he pays the streaming bill. New environments can make him a little timid at first, but give him a few minutes to decompress and he finds his footing. When he does, his affectionate side shows up in full.

And let’s talk about that affectionate side. Kermit is what we lovingly call a Velcro boy. Once he bonds, he bonds. He will lean, press, snuggle, and inch just a little closer. He genuinely seeks out affection and loves being near his people. But dont worry, this isn’t a full court press all the time, he responds well to boundaries, structure, and clear expectations.

With other dogs, Kermit is social and he has done well with big and small dogs, male and female, and has played nicely with dogs who share his bouncy, deer-like style. When meeting new dogs on leash he is polite but keeps it brief. If the vibes are right he is happy to join in a play session but he doesnt need it, he is happy to hang out with the crew or simply run around in the sun. He is a bit of a lover boy who loves the confident female dogs, they bring out a different side of him and we love to see his “romantic” side. Whether he has ever seen them or one was mean to him, we will never know but Kermit will need a cat free home. When he met our house cat he was a bit like he had seen a ghost and his nervous fear tells us he wouldnt be be his best self with a cat in the home.

In a home environment, Kermit settles in beautifully. He seeks affection, settles easily and shows more of his sweet, cuddly personality every day. Kermit would thrive with an adopter who appreciates a dog with energy, sensitivity, and a big capacity for connection. Someone who enjoys both playful yard time and quiet couch evenings. Someone who sees the stripes and knows there is a loyal, loving heart underneath.

If you’re looking for a brindle best friend who will run with you by day and glue himself to your side by night, Kermit is ready.

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.
