Story
Meet Fitz the sweetest, softest-hearted gentle giant you’ll ever come across. He has a calm, soulful presence that instantly makes you want to wrap him up in a hug. Everything about him is gentle.Fitz is truly one of a kind.
Fitz is a naturally shy boy but he handles the world with so much softness. When something startles him, he doesn’t bark or react,he simply steps back and observes until he feels safe. It’s impossible not to fall in love with how tender and careful he is.

Around other dogs, Fitz is polite and respectful. He’s not the playful type with them, but he’s completely comfortable being around dogs of all sizes. He simply prefers calm company and a peaceful environment. He is also respectful of cats just a little shy at first.
Now, introduce him to kids, and you’ll see a different side of him. Fitz absolutely LOVES children. It’s the only time we saw him loosen up, wag his tail, and even try to play. Watching this huge, gentle boy try to play with a kid is honestly one of the cutest things ever. Because he’s such a big guy, he’d do best with older kids who won’t get knocked over by his excitement.
And treats? Oh, Fitz is obsessed.
He loves treats so much he’ll do absolutely anything for one. Even then, he takes them with the softest nibble. He’s unbelievably gentle.
Fitz is estimated to be around three years old and weighs about 112 pounds, all legs and love. He has the most gorgeous long “model legs” and carries himself with this graceful way of moving.
At home, he’s a total comfort lover. Fitz could sunbathe for hours.And when he’s not soaking up the sunshine, he loves curling up in bed with his people, cuddled in close, happy just to be near you. He truly melts into blankets and snuggles like he was made for cozy days.
Despite his size, Fitz is not a high-energy dog at all. He’d enjoy having a big yard simply for the space, but he’d also do perfectly fine in an apartment as long as his family keeps a calm environment and includes him in their daily routines. He really just wants gentle people, soft moments, and a home where he can feel safe.
Fitz is genuinely amazing,loving, and full of quiet sweetness. With the right family, he will blossom into the most loyal, gentle companion.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, 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 training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
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.
