Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

Pastel is all brindle, with white stripe down her face, She grew up with a rescue cat and many other dogs of all ages!. She will sit, lay down, walk on leash, and is treadmill trained. She loves to give hugs with her huge paws. She listens well, and I have seen and been told by trainers, she is the smartest dog of her litter. She takes time to get to know you, she is curious, and often seems worried. We are working on her confidence around the loud weird noises of the world; for weeks she hated to walk near the train, but is doing better. She is slow to get to know you... unless she loves you and it all comes naturally with no reason. She needs extra time to potty and to not be rushed. She will not come quickly to someone she doesn&#39t know, so extra time is needed to fall in love, but the love comes fast with the right leader. She sleeps still and with a group of dogs cuddling next to you in bed and is quiet - hardly making a peep. She does well with all ages of dogs and cats. I would trust her with all animals. This sweet, young 40 (ish) pound pup is a pleasure to be around and with the right leader listens so well. 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. Pastel is participating in the DFW Rescue Me guest dog program, so ongoing care and custody is provided by her foster, not by DFWRM.June 3, 2025, 3:59 pm

Mei (Himejoshi)

Denton, TX

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Mei, a ~2-3yo husky who's a big fuzzy bundle of love. Mei is a lovely girl I've had the opportunity to care for over the past few months. Mei is very sweet - she's never met a person she doesn't want to meet. She loves affection and will curl up with you at bedtime if you let her. She likes to laze around, but don't be deceived. Under all that fluff and that goofy face is a strong, independent girl who knows what she wants and will make sure you know it too. She's generally quiet, but she'll start complaining if she thinks it's time to get out of bed or go for a walk. Mei loves her outside time and needs consistent exercise, or she'll start looking for ways to take herself on walks!! Good with other dogs + kids. She'd be best suited for a family that can give her lots of attention! Her adoptive sister Fujo is also available! https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/44939427-denton-texas-husky-mix More photos + videos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/FMpaecYxNip7HCCx9
