We often have American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and American Bully and bully mix dogs and puppies to adopt, right here in Lavaca County, TX. Out of are adoptions are often possible; we can help with transportation arrangements.

Our mission is to provide care and sanctuary to bully breeds in need, and when able, to match those in need with their bully companion through intentional adoptions. We only offer and facilitate adoptions for those in need of a companion animal, limited to those in military families, veterans, and people with disabilities and/or mental health conditions.
Our Ambassadors
Our adopted dogs, the inspiration behind the sanctuary and our Mission.
-
Lucy
AKA Goose, Gooser, Girl, Love, Babe, Honeybun, Bun Bun, Honey, Sister, Daughter…The reason behind our cause. The very best girl anyone could ask for. We are so lucky she chose us to call her family! She’s a loving companion, sister, and protector. She’ll snuggle up with you all day, if you let her! And if you’re looking for a big kiss, just ask Lucy! She will happily oblige.
-
Bert
AKA Son, Brother, Boy, Buba, Bubs, Bubby, Nugget, Booper…A playful puppy, with the cutest little smile! He looks quite serious, but don’t mistake that for a single mean bone in his body. He is lovable and fun. He’s the perfect brother dog for any rough houser, timid, or otherwise non-dog-friendly furry friend. He is patient and empathic in nature, making him the best friend.
-
Smoke
AKA Smoke Stack, Smokey Bear, Boy, Son, Bubba...Named after NASCAR driver, Tony Stewart "Smoke", this boy fits the ambassador perfectly. He loves all of his dog siblings to the core, and has a special fondness for Lucy and Bert. This boy is going to do amazing things!

Lil
LIL BIT
Lil came to us from Vermont in October 2024 as adult dog. While Lil was part of a loving home before joining our pack, she had recently been in an altercation with another pet, which led to a series of unfortunate events in the tight-knit community. Because of her breed, Lil faced prejudice that doomed her to living the rest of her life in isolation, which her family refused to allow. Left with no other options for rehoming, we lovingly accepted Lil into our sanctuary.

Adoption Fees
Due to the nature of our adoptions and our Mission, our adoptions fees are based on a sliding scale, from $0-$350. Generally, adoption fees are sponsored in-house for military veterans, people with disabilities and/or mental health conditions. In addition, we do accept donations and adoption sponsors. What we really ask for is that you provide a loving, stable home, and tell your friends about our mission. Sharing is caring!
Every dog at the sanctuary is spayed or neutered or will be once they are of age, is microchipped, has been treated monthly with flea/tick/parasite preventative, and has been administered all medications prescribed by our vet for optimal health, including annual vaccinations and boosters. We do not facilitate adoptions for dogs currently undergoing medical treatment or recovery of any kind. In addition, all of our residents are provided with daily essentials, such as joint supplements and probiotics.
