Description:
In the summer of 2025, we rescued a group of puppies from a ranch in Central Texas where there were more than 60 dogs needing help. An elderly rancher had 5 livestock guardian dogs protecting his Boer goats, and he never got any of them sterilized, so the natural result was breeding. It only takes a few generations for the population to EXPLODE. This group of pups may represent two different litters -- we're not sure, but there appear to be two different age groups. We gave them all names from the Toy Story movies. Jessie is a calm, shy girl who loves playing in the water, playing with toys, playing with other dogs, and shredding old magazines. She is learning to have good manners living inside the house, and often retreats inside a crate to play quietly on her own. We have crates throughout our home, and the crate doors are open so dogs can come and go freely. It's a good way to get them conditioned to thinking the crate is a safe space, so if we need to close the crate door, they don't panic. Other pups from the same ranch have grown up to be 100+ lbs, so it's entirely possible that Jessie will be equally large once she's fully grown. If you need a giant puppy in your life, please complete the application on our website. It's best done on a PC; it's accessible by phone and tablet, but some users report trouble getting past the final CAPTCHA to submit the app.
