About Cricket Ridge Penelope
Cricket Ridge Penelope is officially starting his campaign to be your forever lap dog. Yes, we know he's going to get a little (or maybe a lot) bigger, but he fully intends to keep that title as he grows, and he's convinced that he'll always fit. (We believe in him our rule is: if he sits, he fits.)
Estimated to be around 3 months old, currently weighing about 17 pounds, and possibly a Labrador / Shepherd mix, Cricket Ridge is a rescue, so breed and age are simply our best guess. What we are certain of is that this mellow fellow is ready for a nap, lots of pets, and all the snuggles with you.
Check out Cricket Ridges pink toe beans and chill vibe on YouTube here:
This sweet boy has a heart as soft as his squishy face. Cricket Ridge is happiest when he's in a comfy spot right by your side, soaking up affection and happily accepting treats. Talk to him and you'll be rewarded with the cutest tail wag or two - his way of saying he's just so glad to see you.
If all of that hasn't already convinced you of the need to get a little Cricket Ridge in your life, his soft pink toe beans are sure to put you right over the edge. He has one freckled ear and the other marked by a perfect brown spot, which matches the brown spot on his tail that makes his happy wags that much cuter. (We're convinced his tail is voice-activated. Whispered sweet nothings are definitely included.)
Gentle, loving, and perfectly content just being near his people, this pup is the definition of a loyal, laid-back companion. If you're looking for a calm, cuddly best friend who will adore you endlessly (and claim your lap forever), this sweet boy is ready to meet you!

We facilitate adoptions nationwide using our rescue run USDA certified transport system, ensuring every pet travel safely and comfortably with 24/7 care. Our transport includes drop off locations, in WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT, TN, KY, WI, MN, IL, WI and Canada (pick up in Bellingham, WA, Buffalo, NY or Brattleboro, VT for for Canadian adopters). You will have the opportunity to track their journey in real time, see photo updates, learn fun facts, connect with fellow adopters and fosters through our private Facebook event page!
Before the adoption is finalized, you will meet your pet through a video call, creating a fun and personalized experience!
The adoption fee is $1000 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, 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 proudly have over 17,000 successful adoptions and excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, 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 training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dogs growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap ranging from $100-$1,000+ per dog.
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.
It doesn't stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:
Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test or $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions Access to multiple dog trainers in your area, along with $40 off of your first session of in person dog training through Rover Training 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup! The Greater Houston area faces one of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the U.S. We're a nonprofit on a mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs at risk, while promoting spay/neuter outreach in the community. When you adopt, you save more than one life the one you adopted, and the space opened up to save another.
