She absolutely adores everyone she meets and melts into you any chance she gets. Esty has a heart of gold and radiates happiness and joy wherever she goes. You can't help but smile when you're around her, especially when she looks up at you with those gorgeous big brown puppy-dog eyes and her sweet, innocent grin.

Esty Bestie is believed to be a Cattle dog/pittie mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 52 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Esty is such an incredibly sweet and loving girl who wants to be everyone’s bestie! She absolutely loves everyone she meets and melts into you any chance she can get. She has a heart of gold and she is always beaming with happiness and smiles. She is a hoot and her tail never stops wagging. She would make a great family dog and has been around kids as young as 5 years old. Etsy was not phased by the running, jumping, screaming, or even when the little girl started doing cartwheels. She took treats gently from her and also let her put silly pom poms on her head.
One thing that was also really impressive was the way that Etsy listened to the little girl and to us especially when a whole bowl of popcorn was spilled on the floor. She waited patiently while they cleaned everything up and then was so grateful once she got rewarded with all the popcorn. Etsy will fill your life with laughter and smiles. She loves to LOVE and she has so much to give. Though Etsy is such a love bug, she can be a little shy at first with new people and in new environments, especially once she arrives in her new home. It does not take long for her to open up and within minutes, she’s giving you all the kisses and snuggling so close to you.
Esty is dog friendly and has been around a variety of different dogs all with different personalities and temperaments. She is not the playful type with other dogs and is more of a relaxed hangout type of girly that prefers to get attention from people. She is happy to be around dogs that have the same cool, calm, collected tempo as her. She does play everynow and then the cutest little play bows and loves to zoom around with her new friend in light hearted games of chase. In a home, she would do best with a medium energy male dog that enjoys the company of other dogs, isn't looking for a 24/7 playmate, and will enjoy an occasional game of chase here and there. She'll be perfect for that! Esty also does not need another dog in the home, so no worries there if you don't have a dog. She is so loving and affectionate that she has enough love to give that is equivalent to 3 dogs combined. She's something special! Esty would also do best in a home with no cats as she was a little too interested in our house cat Biggie.
When it comes to training, Esty is ready and eager to learn! She loves treats and already knows a few basic commands such as sit, and down. You could probably even teach her how to dance too LOL. Esty is fairly easy to walk on a leash and only pulls every so often. Mainly, she'll pull towards something that smells yummy or interesting. She responds well to correction and wants to make you happy! Esty has wonderful house manners and is crate and potty trained.
She will thrive with a semi-active family that enjoys frequent outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, going to the beach or even casual play time in the yard. A family or individual who appreciates nature and is ready to explore parks, trails, or snowy landscapes would be perfect. While she loves the great outdoors and loves to explore, Esty is also an affectionate gal at home and loves to bury her head into you for love. If you enjoy the outdoors but also cherish time spent relaxing indoors, Esty is the perfect fit. She has the potential to thrive in an apartment with proper exercise and socialization. Etsy would also do great in a home with a backyard as well, a place where she can stretch her legs, check out all of her favorite sniff spots, and roll around in the grass and sunbathe during those beautiful summer days. She has the potential to thrive in so many different environments. Etsy Bestie is simply THAT girl!
We are willing to test Esty Bestie with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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.
