Meet pine cone the cuddle bug
Looking for a tiny shadow who believes every stranger is just a best friend she hasn’t met yet? Dreaming of a purse-perfect companion whose only career goal is a full-time position with 100% lap benefits? Let me introduce you to your girl, Pine Cone.
Pine Cone is a pint sized sweetheart who takes her lap dog responsibilities so sincerely seriously, you’ll start to wonder how you ever watched TV without a tiny, warm bestie tucked perfectly into your lap. She doesn’t just cuddle, she commits!
You truly have to see this girl in motion to believe the cuteness.

With her dainty looks and charming personality, we’re pretty convinced she’s a Chihuahua mix. Of course, as with most rescues, we can’t guarantee breed or age, but we can guarantee the stats on her adorableness. Ready for this? Pine Cone weighs a mighty… 9 whole pounds. Small body, enormous heart.
Currently waiting for her forever home, Pine Cone has proven herself to be an absolute rockstar in every social setting. She’s wonderfully respectful and kid-approved, handling time with little humans with a gentle, sweet spirit that makes everyone feel at ease.
She’s also a crate champ! While she might offer the tiniest whine just to let you know she’d prefer extra cuddles, she settles into her routine like a pro and is always ready to load up for her next car ride adventure.
When it comes to other dogs, Pine Cone is a dream companion. She’s a friendly greeter and enthusiastic player who can hold her own with big dogs or adjust her play style for smaller friends. She’d do best with a medium energy canine buddy, someone who enjoys playtime but also appreciates winding down for a good snuggle session.
Got a feline ruler at home? Pine Cone says no problem. She’s met a resident cat and respectfully gave him space, showing all the signs of being a polite roommate for a dog-savvy kitty. As always, we recommend a “sleepover” trial to make sure everyone agrees on the living arrangements.
Pine Cone is the ultimate anywhere dog. Thanks to her compact size and polite manners, she’d thrive just as easily in a chic city apartment as she would in a home with a big fenced yard. Her only real requirement? A lap to land in at the end of the day and a family who appreciates her big personality packed into that tiny frame.
She’s small enough to travel with you… and spunky enough to keep life exciting wherever you go.
If your home and your lap are ready for Pine Cone, she’s ready to meet you!

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
