Pastel GDP

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Denton, TX

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Chunk GDP

Collie

Denton, TX

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Meet Chunk -- the Ultimate Lovebug in a Furry Package. Born around April 1, 2025, Chunk entered the world as a fluffy little puffball, earning his name with his irresistible roundness and charm. Today, he&#39s blossomed into a cuddly, goofy, affectionate bundle of joy with a heart as big as his paws. Chunk is a gentle soul who lives for tummy rubs and thrives on love. He adores everyone and everything: people, cats, grasshoppers, squeaky toys, you name it. His sweet, expressive eyes will melt your heart, and when he gets you all to himself, he&#39ll melt right into your arms. His favorite things include treats, toys, playtime, cuddle time, and -- most of all -- affection. He gets along beautifully with other dogs, cats, and children. While he can get a little rowdy when excited, especially around smaller kids, and will just need gentle guidance to learn calm manners. Chunk is looking for a forever home that can offer patience for some more training (he&#39s not housebroken yet), walks and outdoor playtime, a secure yard to romp, and indoor bed for snuggles. In return, Chunk will shower his family with endless love, loyalty, and laughter. He truly is the perfect dog and whoever welcomes him home will be blessed by his giant heart. Chunk is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and boosters, microchipped, and currently on monthly NexGard and Heartgard. 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. Chunk is participating in the DFW Rescue Me guest dog program, so ongoing care and custody is provided by her foster, not by DFWRM.October 26, 2025, 6:21 pm
