Retriever and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Madonna, she is a sassy, smart, confident Retriever mix born on February 2, 2026.

She has a big personality to match her cute face. She’s happy, confident, and not shy about using her voice—this girl has opinions and a little sass to go with it.

Currently, she sleeps in her playpen and is doing great with pottying outside!

Very eager to learn, she’s at the perfect age to build strong habits but will need structure, consistency, and continued training.

Madonna is expected to be a medium to large dog and would do best with an experienced owner who understands puppy energy and can guide her into a well-mannered lady.

She is located in Houston, Texas, but can be transported to most states for an additional fee of $300.
