Meet ivy bloom beach loving babe
Ivy Bloom is her name, she loves the beach and bodies of water and playing fetch is her favorite game!
This girl is literally a big cotton ball- floof and fun and full of energy. She loves going on walks, hiking, and especially loves running with other dogs in big, open fields. At the end of the day she often falls asleep with a stuffed toy tucked gently in her mouth- one of her foster’s favorite endearing quirks.

At just 2 years old and 30 lbs, we believe Ivy Bloom is a mini Aussie mix. She is a rescue though so no guarantees with breed and birthday- not a guess but an educated observation. As soon as I saw her I knew I was going to adore her, you can just see her bright spirit. Her foster believes she is deaf and we can see some of the markers of this being the case but it truly was such an afterthought to all of us- we wouldn’t have known because of how in-tune and attentive she is. Just one of many things that make her specia! Plus, she is already learning sign language and her foster shared that Ivy is a fast learner. Her foster says, *“She is a very smart dog. Loves a job! And is a classic Aussie.” Plus she is both house and crate trained.
Ivy has lived with a wide variety of dogs and has even lived with cats, all of whom she got along with perfectly. She enjoys having a playmate and that does not stop at dogs, she will invite you to play, and she will invite the cat to play. Her approach is playful curiosity, harmless but not every cats type, so a confident, dog-savvy cat would be the best fit for her. She has a social side and is very affectionate with people. The trick to this out-and-about or when you have guests is to let the hello’s be on her terms. When guests come over, she does bark a hello their way before then running over to greet them. We love a discerning girl!
Ivy is happiest when she gets regular exercise and socialization and thrives on routine, companionship, and simply being included. She has the basics of leash walking skills but will benefit from continued practice using the tools she has grown to know, and the chance to experience a variety of places with a confident handler by her side to help keep her grounded in a sense of security.
This girl is young, vibrant, and a devoted companion who will be a beautiful addition to a variety of homes. Whether you have a dog or she will be your one and only, she will remind you daily of how much our heart needs the simple companionship of an adoring dog. She’s ready and waiting for her forever home with a family that sees her not for what she lacks, but for the amazing, loving dog she already is.

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.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:
Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family
