Meet Shirley Temple

One version of Shirley Temple is the innocently charming, fancy sweet drink loved by kids, of course named after an adorable actress. This Shirley Temple is just as innocent and sweet!

There is something about her that exudes an innocence, in the way a little kid is curious but respects a stern no when needed, she is at the perfect age for training and shaping. While at the rescue she will work on lots of skills but the real magic happens when they get home. Being welcomed into a home and family looks good on any dog but it really does something amazing to a rescue dog. So imagine what all her sweet enthusiasm for play, adoring attention, and eagerness to learn is going to amount to! An already great dog with the beauty of a loving family is really special to witness, even better to know personally.

Shirley was fortunate to have a foster home during her formative puppy months and that has served her well. She is gentle, has great house manners, and is crate trained. She can occasionally get a bit vocal in her crate if you are near or other animals are out having fun and she feels left out. It all comes from a sweet place, she wants to play too!

Shirley would benefit from a home with a playful dog, maybe even a bit older, who she could shadow for a few weeks to really take notes on the ins and outs of being a house dog. A mentor, but who also likes to play! A yard for bouncing around in and exploring would be dreamy!

If you have a cat, no need to worry here, Shirley is so respectful of cats. Even though she is curious she keeps a respectful distance and wouldnt dare even think about trying to chase or be pushy with a cat. We love a respectful dog!

Since she's still a young pup, Shirley will thrive with a family ready to continue socializing and training her to be the best and most well-rounded dog she can be. Leash skills, greeting people, navigating public spaces, all the best skills are built on training and practice no matter how old a new dog is. She comes ready to learn and ready to become your walking buddy, hiking partner, passenger princess, and so much more!

So go on and order a Shirley Temple!
Kisses are included for no additional charge!

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

The adoption fee is $825 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, 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 have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews:
https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.

Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where 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 trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!

Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.

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.

The rescues hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical caresuch as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic carecan lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.

It doesnt stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!

Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
