Meet scoot is cute
What rhymes with cute? Scoot! Of course it does because Snoot sure is cute! This little guy showed up and honestly ran off with my whole heart! From the moment I picked him up and he melted into my arms, I knew he was going to be a special one and that he was.

Scoot is currently 4 months old and currently weighs 9 pounds, with growing to do. We suspect he may be a Chihuahua / Terrier mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! He has little legs, a long body, and a perfectly curled tail so he could be a whole bunch of things. Whatever his breed is, he loves people, is gentle and affectionate with a calm presence. Scoot is living in a foster home and has met a variety of dogs though he is most comfortable with a friend who is similarly sized to him. Because he is growing and changing we anticipate he could be comfortable with any size dog though he would prefer a more peaceful home to match his energy.
It is easy to see Scoot being someones adoring lap dog. He absolutely glows when you sweet talk him and melts at the chance to curl up next to you for a belly rub or just being close. He has a gentle mouth, taking treats softly and giving the sweetest little kisses. I will think about him lovingly well into the future, he just really touched my heart.
We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork!
Scoot is from one of the MOST desperate areas in the entire US, based on statistics. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies daily. So, this puppy needs you! And when you choose to adopt a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place.
Scoot is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog.
You are going to love this boy! Gentle kisses are guaranteed!

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.
