Little Dusty was a last-minute life-save and DASH is so happy to have helped him! Several volunteers from Ft Worth Animal Care really teamed up so this ADORABLE basenji mix has a foster!

He and Pixie look Basenji and are both petite and sleek. When I was trying to determine a possible hybrid I was shocked but happy to learn about: The BaSheltie! Several sites had twins of Dusty!

Dusty has been in a great foster home since his rescue. He’s awaiting a neuter appt this week but we have that covered! He is healthy, happy and hopeful to get a HOME!

His foster family says he is “super dog friendly.” He is potty-trained and crate-trainer although he doesn’t love the crate.

Dusty had mild separation anxiety at first which is normal; it’s much better when he is with his foster-fur friends so we hope to find a home with 1-2 playful young dogs.

Dusty loves human attention and cannot get enough so expect a cuddly companion. He’s a balanced, bright and solid pet dog so wherever he was before that’s the past.

Are you his future?

General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities.

We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.



 

Please READ ALL of our info below BEFORE SENDING APPLICATION.

Our goal is to help our puppies and dogs find FOREVER HOMES AND FAMILIES, NOT TO MAKE IT PROHIBITIVE FOR YOU TO ADOPT. However, once we review the application and contact you, we MEET TO ADOPT, so please let us know if you are ONLY APPLYING TO STAY ON FILE or THAT YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT, for the consideration of our puppies and dogs and families who know the time is right!

OUR VETS DO NOT RECOMMEND AND WILL NOT PERFORM SURGERY PRIOR TO 6 MONTHS.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Due to the prohibitive nature of COVID-19 we are conducting ALL home checks via virtual appointments. We are also NOT allowing meet & greet appointments with puppies or dogs who are not completely up to date on vaccinations due to risk or exposure to outside contaminants. We REQUIRE ALL adopters to wear a mask & gloves when picking up their pet, to insure that everyone is protected from unknowing exposure to COVID-19.

THERE WILL BE ZERO ACCEPT IONS MADE.

We do not have a shelter - we accept online applications and either have individuals meet at foster homes or we will bring dogs to a safe, fenced neutral area - depends on situation.

More about this rescue

I am the Executive Director - I started DASH with a select group of co-rescuing friends and neighbors because we saw a need to rescue very adoptable dogs from Death Rows at municipal shelters and believe through foster care we can work with and train these dogs to be ideal family pets.
