Story
Who needs a box full of chocolates when you can have a heart full of Freckles?💝
Meet Freckles, the husky/Australian cattle dog mix estimated to be about 4 years old! This is our best estimated guess as we don’t know his family tree. Freckles is currently weighing in at about 82lbs but don’t let that run you off! As big as he is, he is extremely respectful of personal space. He loves the couch and the bed but will only jump up when invited to do so! And when he does, let us tell you, it’s magical. This boy can snuggle like no other🥰
Watch his video and you'll find yourself clinking on that adoption application below:

Freckles has become a rescue favorite. The staff and volunteers constantly gush over how PERFECT he is!🤩 He will melt your heart. Freckles enjoys dogs and people but most of all, he loves to be outdoors! He would make an incredible adventure companion as he will quite literally stop and smell the roses. Freckles loves walking, hiking, enjoys water, really anything you love to do. He is so go with the flow. He is amazing in the car and is always down for a ride! Errands, food, shopping- you name it, he’s there for it. Sometimes he will try to sit right up front with you on the center console, so make sure to get him a seatbelt!
Freckles is very food motivated. His ability to gently take every treat and listen to each command is unmatched. Freckles is so smart and can pick up on any command quicker than you can snap your fingers! He currently knows sit, stay, come and shake. He loves to show off his party tricks! He is wonderful on a leash and has amazing manners. Right out of the house or car, he can pull so he will need someone who can handle a stronger dog. He is great in his kennel but would much rather be out and about with you! Not to mention, Freckles is house trained to perfection!🐾 He is a very friendly boy but would prefer a home with no cats please!
Freckles dream home would be somewhere over yonder on a farm. He would love all the free space to stretch his legs! He is a country boy at heart. He is great at socializing and his companionship level is set at 10! He is great with people, men and woman, and children. Get ready for his love and lean! When he comes to you for kisses or scratches, he will lean his whole body into your legs like he’s melting into you. Love is his favorite thing in the world!
Freckles is an all around gentlemen. He has a striking appearance that’s bound to get compliments everywhere you go. His personality is top tier and his love is unmatched. Apply today for this one of a kind boy or you might regret it!❤️

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 $825 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.
