Story
Champ, Callie and Cleo were born on new years day of this year. These 3 pups are the last remaining of the litter of 6. They weigh about 36 lbs and we don’t believe they will get over 55-65 lbs once full grown.
These pups were born in a home - mom is a boxer mix and dad is a yellow lab mix.
Champ, Callie and Cleo were denied by multiple rescues when the owner reached out to different ones, not knowing what to do with the puppies. They continued to be denied as rescues were full, and the puppies were considered “too unadoptable based on color” by most rescues. The owner didn’t give up, and once we had room to safety take them in, we accepted all pups into rescue and fixed the mom, so no more puppies for her (the owner kept mom and dad).
These 3 pups have been around children their whole lives. They grew up with multiple children in the home and get along very well with them. The pups are quite gentle with people in general, especially children.
They have been exposed to inside and outside cats and have no issues with kitties. They’re shockingly not a big fan of toys but they are very food motivated and love their treats.
All 3 have been around other dogs and have no issues with any other dogs.
Callie, Camp and Cleo love to cuddle and are very snuggly. They will subtly climb on the couch with you and just lay close to you, hoping you won’t notice them. They love their dogs.
They are crate trained and mostly house trained.
The foster did note they all have webbed feet, which we aren’t sure where they get it from!
Callie is the most gentle of the 3. She is the observer. She will watch everything before engaging in what everyone else is doing. She loves her pets and would do best in a home with another dog (but not required) as she does lack confidence in herself. She is quieter than Champ and Cleo, and a more quiet/calm home would be perfect for her. She is not a very active girl but does love her walks and time outside.
Champ and Cleo are quite similar in demeanor – They’re both super friendly and the first ones to come up to you. They will do whatever they can to get your attention and are super duper food and treat motivated. They love everyone and everything they meet. These 2 would do best in all types of homes as they can just hang around and relax all day, or they are more than willing to go on adventures.
All adoption fees include spay/neuter, current parvo/distemper vaccines, bordatella, rabies vaccine, current negative heart worm test, current simparica trio, current dewormer, microchip and transport costs from Texas to the east coast.

Most of our animals are located in Texas unless otherwise specified at the top of their bio. If they are listed in a certain new England city at the top of their bio, that means they are in a foster home and no further transport can be offered from the city they are in (unless the foster is able to meet you, or you go to the city they are fostered in).
The animals we have in Texas are available for transport once adopted. We use multiple different transport companies (via vehicle), all are USDA licensed. We have transport companies that can go directly to your door (this option costs slightly more, but it’s a smaller transport and more one on one care). This company can go as far as the Canadian border along the east coast.
We also use larger companies who are just as fantastic. This transport is included in the adoption fee, but they meet at general stops along the route, depending on where adopters are located for that specific transport. Most transports have stops in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.
Transports leave every 1-3 weeks, depending. We go over more specifics once you are an approved adopter.
