My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Mello! He is a 5-year-old, 65 lb Labrador-Australian Cattle Dog mix is ready to find the forever home he's always deserved. Fully vetted and neutered, Mello is a loyal companion with a heart full of love. He's happiest by your side--whether it's going for long walks (he's improving on leash every day!), playing fetch, or simply relaxing near you. Mello is potty trained, crate trained (though we recommend a gated area or quiet room instead), and a great eater. He's also a fantastic alert dog: quiet by nature, but will let you know if someone's at the door. Mello has been through a lot--surviving past abuse and now in his fourth home through no fault of his own. Because of this, he needs an experienced, patient owner, and to be the only pet in an adult-only structured household where he can truly thrive. He's deeply affectionate, incredibly loyal, and just wants to be loved--and he'll show you every day how much he loves you in return. If you're looking for a devoted best friend who's ready to heal and grow with you, Mello might be your perfect match. If you feel your home might be the right place for such a great dog - the place to start is with the adoption application found at www.dfwrescueme.org/adopt. Once submitted, the foster will contact you promptly to tell you more and to arrange a time to meet! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $300.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter. Mello is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so ongoing care and custody are provided by their foster, not by DFWRM.November 26, 2025, 11:46 am

More about this rescue

Our goal is to save dogs at the local shelters in the Dallas \ Fort Worth Metroplex from euthanasia and adopt them to the public. We spay / neuter these dogs as well as provide all necessary medical care. We also educate the public about responsible pet ownership. We love dogs and our goal is to reduce / eliminate euthanisias being done in this area by shelters due to overcrowding.
