Saffron isn’t just another puppy—she’s the one who naturally takes the lead, the one the others look to, the one who walks into a room like she already belongs there. Confident, curious, and incredibly smart, Saffron has already mastered the basics. She’s fully potty trained, sleeps peacefully on her own, and is comfortable in her crate. On walks, she moves with purpose and ease, making her a joy to have by your side. And yes—she’s clever enough to climb out of a 36” playpen, so she’ll need a home that appreciates both her intelligence and her determination. Her story started with uncertainty. Saffron and her sisters were abandoned in the front yard of a kind stranger in the Houston area. Wanting the best for them but unable to keep them, he reached out for help—and thanks to a dedicated foster, Saffron got her second chance. Since then, she’s blossomed. Fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed, she’s healthy, thriving, and ready for a forever home. At about 5 months old and 30 pounds, she’s expected to grow into a beautiful Shepherd/Hound/Cattle Dog mix with both brains and heart. Saffron is playful, affectionate, and wonderfully social with other dogs. She loves connection, thrives on engagement, and has that special spark that makes her unforgettable. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with confidence, intelligence, and a whole lot of love to give—Saffron is ready to lead her way right into your life. Saffron is currently being fostered in Texas but available to transport to approved adopter in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada. $400 Adoption fee includes vaccinations, Spay/Neuter, microchip, deworming, $300 fee for Transport and vet/documentation requirements in preparation for transport.
