Meet yuki the adorable nugget
Meet Yuki, a bright-eyed puppy with a brave little heart and a whole lot of charm.
At just 5 months old, Yuki is medium-sized for her age and expected yto grow into a lovely 35–45 lb adult. With rescue, breed is always a best guess, but she may have some pittie, lab, or terrier in the mix. What’s certain is that she is absolutely stunning. Yuki is all white with a single gray freckle on one ear, a soft gray nose, light greenish eyes, and sweet pink undertones that make her extra special.
She was initially fostered in a high-rise city apartment and is now in a home with young kids and other dogs. Elevators and busy hallways once didn’t faze her, and now she’s thriving with backyard playtime and family energy. She’s adaptable, confident, and happy wherever her people are. She was very respectful being fostered with a senior cat as well!
Yuki has been working on potty training and crate training and making great progress. She is already showing how smart and eager she is. Continued routine will allow her to shine!
She loves benebones, toys, enjoys a few good zoomies, and balances it all with plenty of naps like any growing puppy should. She walks nicely on leash, rides calmly in the car, and is affectionate in the sweetest way.
Snuggles are her specialty- with dogs or humans both. Yuki curls up close, often sleeping on her back with her legs in the air and her tongue peeking out. When she’s extra cozy, she may even snore herself to sleep. It’s the kind of simple, everyday sweetness that makes a house feel like home.
Yuki was born missing a hip socket, which gives her the most adorable little gait and signature hop. It’s simply part of her story and does not slow her down much. She runs, plays, and keeps right up with her friends, full of determination and joy.
Because of the way she was built, she sometimes moves a little sideways and benefits from staying strong and active to support her right leg. Daily play, normal activity, and maintaining healthy muscle tone help her continue to thrive. She doesn’t see herself as different, and she certainly doesn’t act like it.
She was also diagnosed with retinal dysplasia in both eyes. This is a congenital condition affecting the light-sensing layer of the eye. She can see and should live a full, happy life, though she may need minor accommodations, especially in low-light settings or help judging certain distances.
Neither of these differences define her. What defines Yuki is her playful spirit, resilience, and pure joy for life.
Yuki is still very young and will thrive with a family ready to commit to training, structure, and positive socialization. With guidance, patience, and consistency, she is going to grow into an incredible companion.

We facilitate adoptions nationwide using our rescue run USDA certified transport system, ensuring every pet travel safely and comfortably with 24/7 care. Our transport includes drop off locations, in WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT, TN, KY, WI, MN, IL, WI and Canada (pick up in Bellingham, WA, Buffalo, NY or Brattleboro, VT for Canadian adopters). You will have the opportunity to track their journey in real time, see photo updates, learn fun facts, connect with fellow adopters and fosters through our private Facebook event page!
Before the adoption is finalized, you will meet your pet through a video call, creating a fun and personalized experience!
The adoption fee is $1,000.00 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!
We proudly have over 17,000 successful adoptions and excellent Google Reviews: 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
Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test or $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test

The Greater Houston area faces one of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the U.S. We’re a nonprofit on a mission—to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs at risk, while promoting spay/neuter outreach in the community.
