This darling little angel is named Mama Lana! She’s a perfect family dog, good on leash and great in her crate, with so much love to give. Lana is incredibly loyal to her favorite people, and friendly as can be with new friends! She would make an amazing hostess-dog for a social household, a great adventure buddy, or simply a great best friend. She was amazing during her kid test and we believe she would absolutely love to live in a home with children.
We think Mama Lana is a pit bull mix of some sort, with booty wiggles and big kisses to verify her pittie lineage. We estimate her age to be around 2 years old. She currently weighs in around 47 pounds, the perfect size for couch snuggles.

Lana is a love bug to her core, so warm, welcoming and incredibly loyal. She’s very quiet and calm about her affection, perfect for just about any family. She’s good and quiet in her crate here at the rescue, but always excited for a moment out of her crate, and around humans! She’ll greet you with excitement, kisses and tail wags when you open her crate door, and she’ll allow you to put her leash on with ease.
Lana is dog friendly! However, she has a bit of a complicated relationship with other dogs, she is currently on a healing journey after limited socialization in her younger years. Lana shares treats and affection well with other dogs. She doesn’t bark, lunge, or growl at other dogs when she passes them on leash, she’s great at coexisting with other dogs in play-yards, but direct interaction can sometimes cause her some anxiety, preventing her from playing and causing her to act fearful around the other dogs. To address this, our behavior team is facilitating more healthy interactions with other dogs, by way of integrating her into supervised play groups. In a home, slow introductions are advised, and our behavior team will be available to advise you further!
Lana is a credit to rescue dogs everywhere. She is great with people. She’s gentle and snuggly, and has great house manners. She is truly amazing with kids and promptly fell in love with Kobe, our three year old kid-testing volunteer! She was gentle, patient and tolerant with him, sought out affection and showered him in gentle kisses. She knows “sit” already, and she’s so food motivated and eager to please, further training will be enjoyable and rewarding! Lana is a dream on leash, and considering her people-oriented social skills and her manners, she will be an easy dog to take out and about! Take Lana to a park, patio restaurant or dog friendly cafe, and watch her find friends in every stranger. Lana greets “her people” with so much adoration, recognition and affection. This precious little angel is a pro snuggler too!
Lana’s perfect home will have at least one loving human to call her own, and she’s not too picky about the rest. She is quiet, calm and well behaved in her crate here at the rescue, and could likely thrive in an apartment. She would love love love to have some human siblings around, kids to snuggle and play with! Daily walks or a few quick backyard play sessions are all she’ll need to stay happy and healthy.
Mama Lana is a gorgeous, loving girl with a truly beautiful life ahead of her. With any questions, please reach out to her adoption coordinator, whose email is linked below. We are willing to test Lana with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’s the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!
The adoption fee is $800 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where 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 trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
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.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
