Story
The perfect dog may be a subjective thing but I am pretty sure this girl is universally perfect, no matter who you are. This is Sissy Sarah, gorgeous, gentle, relaxed, mellow and loving without being needy or pushy. Get to know her a little better by watching her video here -https://youtu.be/8LgLDFLNElo then come back to read more.
One of my favorite things about Sissy Sarah is how peaceful her presence is, she is the kind of company that feels warm and familiar from that start. Her looks and personality lead us to believe she is a Lab/Pyrenees mix, she weighs 68 lbs, and we estimate her to be between 2-3 years old. Breed and age are details we cannot offer 100% certainty on given the nature of her being a rescue.
Sissy Sarah is so fortunate and is being fostered in a loving, dedicated foster home with two mature chihuahuas, four cats, and regular visits from grand kids and family members. The foster shares that Sarah is consistently gentle, welcoming, and sweet with everyone. During the time we spent with Sarah we introduced her to several new dogs to gauge her playfulness and the type of dog she enjoys most. It was easy to see that although Sarah is dog friendly she takes it slow at first but feels comfortable in their company. She has been living with two older chihuahuas who do not enjoy playing and “boss” her around which shows a incredible patience and tolerance but may be part of why we did not see a bouncy playful side during our time with her. Her patience was really highlighted when meeting a very friendly, energetic, female who was very pushy in her approach to get Sarah to play. We anticipate that a dog with similar energy to her own, that enjoys play would be a good match but she would also be perfectly happy as an only dog. On top of that she undoubtedly has all the love you could ever want from a canine companion.
Sissy Sarah would be just as well suited for a house with a yard as she would an apartment. She is fully house trained and crate trained with great basic leash skills. Her foster shared she does not like having a leash put on but we did not see that. We saw a girl with a great pace, who checks in often, and is able to pass dogs calmly. She may need a little guidance once she is home while she learns a new routine and new environment but this girl has all the skills for a dream walking partner.
Sarahs affectionate and easy-going personality make her a joy to be around, with a beautiful balance of cuddly and independent. She enjoys the simple things and is ready to slip right into your routine, only adding to the warmth and safety of a loving home. Sissy Sarah is a dream girl and she is ready to come home.

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)!

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.
