Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake shelters or straight off the streets in South Texas, where packs of stray animals run loose. Your adoption fee directly covers the significant costs required to bring these dogs to safety. We are a registered non-profit rescue; any excess revenue goes directly toward treating animals with major medical needs who would otherwise be left behind and euthanized.

Your adoption fee fully covers:
Transport: Safe transport from Texas to our local foster homes (this cost alone is $200 to $230 per dog).
Vetting & Preventive Care: Spay or neuter surgery (if old enough), core vaccines, deworming, a heartworm test (if old enough), and a microchip.

VCA Medical Partnership: Every adoption includes a complimentary first exam at any participating VCA Animal Hospital within the first 14 days. VCA also provides a limited health guarantee (up to $250) for minor illnesses—like kennel cough or ear infections—diagnosed during that initial two-week window.

Important Rescue Policies
No Foster-to-Adopt Program: We do not offer a foster-to-adopt option. The majority of our dogs are already settled into loving local foster homes, and we aim to minimize unnecessary moves for their emotional well-being. Additionally, our rescue insurance policy strictly prohibits it.

Breed and Size Guarantees: We cannot guarantee the breed mix or adult size of any dog in our care. Listed breeds are our best guess based on physical traits and personality. Because our dogs are rescues with unknown histories, we cannot guarantee that a dog is not mixed with pit bull. This is a standard reality of adopting a rescue animal.
