My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This pup has a lot of heart! Maverick and his brother were the only survivors of 11 puppies born to an irresponsible owner. This person let his Australian Shepherd get pregnant and when mama stopped allowing them to nurse at 4 weeks, did nothing to bottle feed them or shelter them from the hot Texas summer. Luckily a good samaritan took these two in when they found out what happened.

We don't know what kind of dog dad was, so these pup are Aussie mixes with full tails but will likely be around Aussie sized when full grown and have the Aussie spirit and zest for life. Before going to their forever homes, they will be dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and receive monthly flea, tick & heartworm prevention.

More about this rescue

We are a volunteer-run nonprofit dog rescue in Huntsville, TX. Our organization is named for a rescue Papillon who belonged to the president of the board before passing away in August 2021. Dot and the other heart-dogs we've lost have inspired us to help address the pet-homelessness problem in Texas. Our focus is an adoption program and would like to eventually expand to financial assistance for spaying & neutering in our community.
