🚜💚 Say hello to John Deere, better known as JD! 💚🚜

JD is a 2.5-year-old, 55-pound gentleman who is believed to be a Pit Bull Terrier/German Shorthaired Pointer mix. Of course, with rescue dogs, breed is always an educated guess! What isn’t a guess is just how devoted, affectionate, and entertaining this guy can be. JD is looking for a family to call his own and has so much companionship to offer.

JD already has many of the skills that make transitioning into a new home easier. He is completely house-trained, potty-trained, and comfortable in his kennel. He behaves beautifully both in and out of his crate and is able to hang out around the house without getting into things or causing trouble.

More than anything, JD simply enjoys being part of whatever his humans are doing. You might find him lounging outside in the sunshine, tagging along while chores get done, strolling around the property to visit the horses, or settling onto the couch with one of his favorite toys. He doesn’t need to be the center of attention, he’s perfectly content just being included.

Toys are definitely one of JD’s favorite things! Durable Nylabone-style chews are a particular favorite, and he’ll happily bring one along when it’s time to relax on the couch. He’s also highly motivated by food, making training both productive and enjoyable. JD already knows **sit** and **shake**, accepts treats gently, and has learned to sit patiently before his meals. He enjoys having something to work toward, especially when snacks are involved!

He genuinely enjoys canine company and becomes especially animated when he has a buddy to interact with. His introductions can still have a goofy, puppy-like quality, and his play style can occasionally get a little rambunctious. Give him a dog friend and you’ll quickly see just how much fun this boy likes to have!

JD has also been around adult cats successfully. Kittens tend to spark more of his curiosity, so confident, grown cats would likely be the better match for him.

Car rides are still somewhat new territory. JD hasn’t spent a great deal of time traveling by car and may initially feel unsure, but once he gets situated, he relaxes and likes looking out the window as everything passes by.

JD could be an awesome companion for someone who likes getting outside, going for walks, exploring new places, or simply having a four-legged sidekick around for the day. Once the adventures are over, he’s just as happy trading the outdoors for a toy and a comfortable spot on the couch.
With his solid house manners, playful spirit, willingness to learn, and love for both people and dogs, JD has all the makings of a wonderful companion. He’s ready for someone who wants more than just a pet—he’s looking for a best friend to follow through everyday life, from outdoor adventures and household chores to quiet evenings spent together.

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.
