Story
Vivian and Edward are 8 weeks old today, and we’ve received their DNA results! According to Wisdom Panel, they are a mix of 7 different breeds, with the top two being 42% Great Pyrenees and 33% American Pit Bull. Vivian currently weighs 10.14 lbs, while Edward weighs 8.13 lbs, and they are expected to be 46–77 lbs full grown. Both puppies are incredibly sweet and submissive with other dogs. Potty training is underway, and they already know how to sit on command. Vivian is a bit more playful than Edward, but neither are hyper puppies. If you are interested in adopting Edward or Vivian (they will not be adopted together), applications can be submitted at www.rescuerowinc.org. Due to their breed makeup, they will not be placed in apartments. *Please check your junk email folder if you do not receive a response from a Rescue Row member within 48 hours. *You must live within an hour of the DFW Metroplex because we do trial adoptions and require a homecheck *Our adoption fees are as follows (paid by cash or a check made out to Rescue Row): Dogs 12 weeks-6 months old: $300 adoption fee  Dogs 7 months and older: $275 adoption fee  Rescue Row is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) all volunteer dog rescue organization serving the DFW Metroplex. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs. ##2626101##

Story
Potty trained • Crate trained • Dog-friendly (male & female) • Toy & treat lover • Couch connoisseur Eeyore’s story starts heartbreakingly: he was found dumped as a stray with severe wounds of multiple ages, strongly suggesting he may have been used as a bait dog and then abandoned. But Eeyore didn’t let that be the end of his story — he chose resilience, gentleness, and trust. Today, Eeyore is a goofy, super-sweet lovebug who’s happiest when he’s close to his people. He’s a champion nap-taker and an A+ couch potato, but don’t let the snuggle vibes fool you — he also loves to play with balls and toys and will happily work for treats. He enjoys human interaction, listens well, and is building confidence every day. Eeyore can be alert with unfamiliar situations (not fearful — just aware). One night, when someone approached unexpectedly in a hoodie, Eeyore stood his ground and barked to let his person know something was off. He’s the kind of dog who may “check in” with you and let you know when something unfamiliar is happening — a loyal boy who wants to keep his people safe. He does great meeting new dogs and has been friendly with both male and female dogs. He’s also crate and potty trained, making him an easy house companion. Training: Eeyore doesn’t know formal commands yet, but he’s currently working on sit and stay — and with treats involved, he’s motivated and eager to learn. Eeyore deserves a home that will celebrate his soft heart, keep building his confidence, and give him the safe, peaceful life he’s always deserved. If you want a loyal best friend who’s equal parts cuddle buddy and goofy companion, Eeyore is ready to meet you. ##2637226##
