Story
Shay is a wonderful young dog that craves affection and company. She was found as a stray so we have no medical background. She appears very healthy with no medical issues found. She is very active, however she is good on a leash and is crate trained. She does like to jump up so she needs some training. NOTE: The shelter's budget does NOT cover vet exams for these animals. We recommend that each adopted animal get a complete Veterinary exam (including fecal), within about a week of adoption. June 9, 2026, 12:08 am

Story
A friend gave me Tobias after he was a stray in his neighborhood for a few months. Ive been taking care of him since except, he is high maintenance and doesn’t like to listen, although that might be on my own training skills.. I want to re-home him to someone willing to cater to his need for speed (he loves to run around and play) If you have land or animals, he would be perfect for you. He is a great companion.. very loyal.. I just don’t have the capacity to take care of him anymore.. (being 21 years old in school and working part time)PLEASEEEE adopt Tobias I will appreciate you greatly and so will he!!If you choose to adopt I will give you his big ole cage he sleeps in, his harness, and the rest of his pet food for free.

Story
This is Willow Grace! She is approximately 5-6 months old and is approximately 25 lbs. The shelter guessed that she is a Husky Lab mix. Willow is VERY energetic and LOVES to run. Her favorite place to be is out in the yard with a nice stick.Willow is house and kennel trained and knows basic commands such as sit and wait. Willow walks well on a leash, and loves to go on long walks. Willow has never met a stranger which can sometimes get her in trouble. Willow would do best in a home with no cats as she does not realize that they are much smaller than her. Willow loves other dogs but still does not know boundaries so at times can be overwhelming to a calmer smaller dog. All in all she is just a sweet girl with a whole lot of energy. She would do best with a family that is very active. She is very smart and would thrive in an environment that keeps her entertained. At the end of a busy day she is an amazing cuddle buddy.

Story
Meet Jinjer - Your Fun-Loving Fetch Champion Jinjer is a sweet, playful girl who brings joy everywhere she goes. She absolutely lives for her toys, especially balls, and could happily play fetch from sunrise to sunset. If you're looking for a dog who will keep you smiling and keep you moving, she's your girl. Jinjer does well with other dogs and enjoys having buddies to romp around with. Because she's energetic and enthusiastic in her play style, she would do best in a home with older kids who can match her fun, bouncy personality. When she's not chasing a ball, Jinjer is affectionate, people oriented, and always ready for attention from her humans. She's the perfect mix of spirited and sweet, and she's ready to bring laughter, love, and lots of playtime to her forever family. The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $300.00 and that includes their vaccinations, spay or neuter, rabies and microchip. To start the process please visit our website and fill out the adoption application (www.dfwrescueme.org) and from there the foster family can answer any questions and arrange a time to meet. Jinjer is participating in the DFW Rescue Me guest dog program, ongoing care and custody is provided by her foster, not by DFWRM.June 9, 2026, 12:07 am
