Story
Buddy Munchkin...there is just so much to say about this happy sweet boy. First of all, is he not just the cutest guy you've ever seen?! I mean how can you not instantly fall in love with those cute little legs of his and his adorable face. It's a little hard to resist not going to lie but just wait until you watch his video and learn more about his personality. It'll be game over and you'll find yourself counting down the days until he is in your home spoiling him with all the love and toys!
Watch his video and fall in love with this adorable little guy: https://youtu.be/5ClT3UzMqy4?si=cf3o8AxuNJauVG_R
Buddy is believed to be a Dachshund mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 31lbs and is full grown! Y'all don't let his pictures fool you, he's a little guy with the cutest little legs. You can probably tell the height distance between his legs and the ground. Instantly a sight that makes me smile. Buddy is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Buddy is very dog friendly and is currently fostered with 4 other large breed dogs all with varying personalities and he gets along great with all of them. He loves to play chase and run around the yard with his foster siblings. Watching him play is a show in its self, especially when he is trying to run as fast as the big dogs LOL. Poor guy's legs aren't long enough to keep up but he certainly tries and his legs go into hyper-drive/turbo mode. Which is Buddy's rendition of a " sprint" that looks more or less like a faster paced trot. If you don't have other dogs, that's fine too! Buddy does not need the company of another dog to help him feel comfortable and open up. He loves attention and would love to be the center of yours.
When it comes to training, Buddy is very treat motivated, is eager to please, already knows how to sit and walks well on a leash! His foster mom reports he is fully potty trained and that he is learning all about the crate and how the crate is a good thing. Buddy rides great in the car too! He will just lay down in the backseat, and occasionally look out the window watching all the passerby's. He does need a reminder every now and then that he can't ride shotgun and that his seat is in the back. He just gets excited and happy about going on an adventure like we all do. Buddy's ideal home would have a backyard where he can prance around, explore all the smells, soak up the sun during those nice summer days, and porch sit with his favorite people.
Buddy is such a lover boy at heart and loves affection! One of his favorite things that his foster mom does for him, is when she tucks him in for bed, wrapping him up like a little burrito. He loves to burry his face into all the blankets, wrapping himself up even more before rolling over and asking for belly rubs, which are also a favorite of his. His foster mom jokes about how he believes he is a lap dog and will crawl into their laps any chance he can get. She says his love and affection knows no bounds and in the best way. He loves to be around people and turns into your little "shadow." He would do great with someone who works from home or retired, and with a family that likes to have their dog with them all the time.
He's he best at keeping you company so if you're looking for a companion Buddy is definitely the fur baby for you.
We are willing to test Buddy Munchkin with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make 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!

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.
