Please note: Our intakes are currently CLOSED. We cannot accept any new resident dogs into our program at this time. Please check back, as we will update when our intakes re-open. We encourage you to check our resources page for more information.

We are located in Shiner, TX. A small town in Lavaca County, centrally located between San Antonio, Austin, and Houston. Walk-ins are strictly prohibited for the safety and security of our resident dogs.

  • Making a cash donation to the sanctuary goes a long way in ensuring that animals are well taken care of. Even one dollar helps! Every little bit counts. As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service, your donations are tax deductible, and we provide a receipt for your own records. You can donate now by clicking the button in the top right of the menu or above the contact form.

    The donations received by the sanctuary help in providing food, shelter, medical care, and more for the dogs and sanctuary. This is especially important for pups that need special care. Donations are crucial and make a huge difference.

  • Volunteering at the sanctuary is a great way to make a positive impact, while also gaining valuable experience working with animals. Our volunteer opportunities include tasks such as walking dogs, cleaning dog kennels and play yards, feeding, grooming, and assisting with adoption events.

    Volunteering not only benefits the animals, but it can also have a positive impact on your own well-being. Spending time with animals has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, boost mood, and increase social connections. It can also provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of these animals.

    Whether you have a few hours to spare or are looking to make a regular commitment, we may have a volunteer opportunity that will fit your schedule and interests. Join our team today and help us provide the best care for our furry friends!

  • We specialize in placing bullies with military families, and in homes with people with disabilities and/or mental health conditions. Due to the nature of our dogs’ training and our ongoing support program, we do not offer general adoptions at this time. If you’re interested in adopting a family pet, we do have a list of resources in the area for available rescues and shelters that we’d love to share with you. Just send us a quick note to let us know.

    Bringing home a furry friend is welcoming a new family member for life, so it's important to think ahead! Especially when it comes to our beloved bully breeds, who often get a bad rap in rental homes and apartments. We want to make sure our pups land in homes that are theirs forever - with no pet restrictions! You may be ready to be a pet parent right now, but what about next year, or the year after that? Another thing to consider is how hard it is to say goodbye when they cross the rainbow bridge. We're not here to scare you (promise!), but to make sure you're ready for the ups and downs of pet ownership. Don't worry, we've got your back and will support you every step of the way!

    In addition to working closely with you to find your perfect companion, we also have limited funds available to provide ongoing support for things like food and medical care for your adopted bully. Our goal is to match our dogs with their best friend for life, and we mainly ask for love, companionship, and a stable living situation. Beyond that, if you’re in need of a companion dog and worry about the financial aspects of pet ownership, let us know. We may be able to help.

  • When you purchase an item from our store, every bit of profit goes directly to the sanctuary’s mission and care of the dogs. We’ve got some great items available, including sweatshirts, tees, bags, and hats!
