Story
If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you with his whole heart and always look at your with heart-filled eyes, Bourbon is your guy! The fact that he is gorgeous on top of that makes him quiet the catch.
Bourbon is in a dedicated and loving foster home while he waits for his adoption day. This is a key detail because while Bourbon learns all about the rhythm and rules of home life, his foster gets a front row seat to his personality, quirks and love language. His foster has nothing but praise for him, describing him as a lovebug, while also sharing “he is kind and intuitive and deeply connects to his people. “ Her favorite thing about him being how he just *knows* when you need a little extra love. Bourbon’s love language? Touch. He’ll nudge your arm with his head just to get closer, rest his face on your lap while you work, and gaze at you with those warm eyes to remind you he loves you. Hugs, kisses, belly rubs—he *lives* for them.
From looking at him you could almost guess this- although his company and personality are low-maintenance, he does enjoy the “finer things” in life: a good bath, a fresh haircut, a sunny spot to nap in (preferably with you nearby). The last time I spent time with him he smelled absolutely decadent! With your help he will happily be primped and pampered as much as you’d like and the groomer will always be happy to see him coming. He has great leash manners, keeping an easy pace on walks, he loves car rides- favorite destination being a coffee shop that offers pup cups, and he is both house and crate trained! His foster shared that he happily settles into his kennel when its time to relax. Dream boy!
Bourbon has a playful side too—he’ll zoom around when excited, do happy dances before heading outside, and stretch out on his back for a good wiggle. With other dogs, Bourbon is polite and calm, while clearly showing he is more of a people dog. He could easily live with other dogs but they won’t be his focus. Same goes for cats, he is polite and respectfully cautious which translates into him being cat-tolerant. Because of his size and excitement, he’d do best in a home with older kids who will enjoy his bursts of energy. A yard to do that in isn’t necessary but would be ideal. His quiet nature and ease on a leash make him a great candidate for apartment life as long as he gets to enjoy regular outings and adventures for his mental stimulation and physical health.
If you want a dog who will be your biggest fan, cuddle buddy, and loyal companion, Bourbon is waiting for you.

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!

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.

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.
