Rhodesian Ridgeback and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

Copper is pure sunshine in puppy form. This adorable 3-month-old girl is bursting with personality, happiness, and playful energy, and she approaches every single day like it is the best adventure ever. She is currently thriving in a loving foster home where her silly, affectionate personality has completely stolen everyone’s hearts. She is one of those puppies that makes a home feel happier just by being in it.

Copper is the more outgoing of the two siblings and absolutely loves being involved in everything. If you are moving, she wants to know where you are going. If you sit down, she wants to climb into your lap. If there is fun happening somewhere, she is already there ready to join in. She has this wonderful happy-go-lucky spirit and brings so much life and laughter wherever she goes.

This sweet girl is incredibly playful and can entertain herself with just about anything. Toys, sticks, blankets, leaves blowing outside — everything is exciting to Copper. She loves running around with other dogs, bouncing through the house with goofy puppy confidence, and finding creative ways to turn ordinary moments into playtime. Watching her play is impossible not to smile at because she throws her whole tiny self into everything she does with complete joy.

But underneath all that playful energy is an incredibly affectionate and loving puppy. Copper absolutely adores people and wants to be close to her humans as much as possible. She is the kind of puppy that follows you around from room to room because she genuinely just loves being part of your day. After she finishes playing, she is perfectly happy curling up beside you for cuddles and naps. She has a wonderful balance of playful and affectionate that makes her such an easy puppy to fall in love with.

She is still learning puppy basics and is currently working on crate training and potty training in her foster home. She is making great progress and, with consistency and patience, should continue doing wonderfully. Like any young puppy, she is still figuring things out, but she is smart, eager, and full of love.

Copper does beautifully with other dogs and absolutely loves having playmates. She would thrive in an active, loving home that wants a puppy involved in everyday life — whether that means walks, adventures, playtime in the yard, movie nights on the couch, or simply following her people around the house. She has such a social, affectionate personality and truly loves being connected to her family.

There is something incredibly special about Copper’s spirit. She is goofy, joyful, cuddly, and overflowing with love. She has the kind of personality that keeps people laughing one minute and melting into a puddle the next because she is just so sweet. She is still such a tiny baby with so much growing and learning ahead of her, and she deserves a family that will cherish every stage of it.

Copper is not just adorable — she is the kind of puppy that becomes your little shadow, your daily source of happiness, and a best friend for years to come.

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.
