Story
This attractive girl with the most interesting coat and beautiful smile is Iris. According to my Dog Scanner she is an Australian Dutch Shepherd/American Pitbull mix. Iris weighs 51 pounds and is approx two years old. She was found as a stray on 10/2. Iris is a delightfully charming girl. She did warm up with I began petting her, she leaned into me as if to communicate that she would love for me to continue. Iris walks nicely on a leash and is possibly house trained. Iris had no interest in toys or balls. What struck me is that she has the most beautiful smile and shining eyes!

Angel has one of the most incredible stories we’ve had since starting our rescue, and we would love nothing more than to help her find the loving forever home she deserves. Her story began when a kind couple found her in a very rural area. She was only 7–8 days old and weighed barely one or two pounds. Against all odds, this tiny baby survived. The couple rushed her to their veterinarian, where she received the care and medical attention she needed to stabilize and grow stronger. They lovingly cared for her throughout six weeks until their veterinarian cleared Angel. The couple who rescued Angel fell completely in love with her, but they had never intended to keep her. Their only goal was to save her life, and they did just that! Now, at approximately 14 months old, Angel is ready for the next chapter of her life: finding her very own forever family! A little about Angel: At around 38 pounds, Angel is a smaller, medium-sized girl who is already full grown. She is likely a mix of several breeds, but she strongly resembles a Dutch Shepherd, with her beautiful coloring and brindle coat. We suspect she may also have some Australian Cattle Dog (Heeler) in her mix. She has some of those classic Heeler characteristics, including liking to know where everyone is in the house! She's NOT an active herder, though. Angel is incredibly sweet, affectionate, cuddly, and loving. She absolutely enjoys being close to her people. Angel is very praise-driven and also motivated by treats and food, which makes her a wonderful candidate for learning new tricks and commands. Angel is comfortable being left home during the day. Her foster works long hours a few days a week, and Angel does just fine on her own. She is also familiar with using a doggie door. Angel has lived with other dogs while in foster care, but we believe she would be happiest as someone's only dog. She spent the first year of her life in a home where she was the only dog, and we think that is the environment where she would truly thrive. Angel's baby photo will be added to this thread, so you can see just how tiny this little survivor was when her journey began. It's hard to believe that the fragile little puppy who fought so hard to survive is now a beautiful, happy young dog, ready to give someone a lifetime of love. We are really hoping to find that special person or family who will open their heart and home to Angel. She has already overcome so much in her short life. Now it's her turn to be someone's beloved family member, to be spoiled, cherished, and loved forever. Could you be Angel's happily-ever-after?If you have room in your heart and home for this very special girl, please complete our adoption application on our website: www.dashdog.org Then TEXT SARA:214-549-9905 So I can check your application and get back to you! Please share Angel's story! Her forever family may be just one share away.

Story
Hi, my name is Jaxson. I am soon to turn 2yrs come November 2026. For the last year and a half, all I’ve known is love, patience, free range play time and definitely structure. My eating schedule is two cups twice a day (5am and 4pm). Don’t tell others, but my family does offer human food as a treat sometimes and typically on weekends. I enjoy this very much as it has flavor as opposed to my routine dry food. House and crate trained with basic commands in order. For my future parents I’ve yet to meet, know that I am loyal and protective. It is my nature to guard all corners of a home and to investigate anyone entering our home. I love people but I will let you know if someone is not trustworthy by showing my teeth. I have never attacked anyone as I was trained to follow the order ‘Stand Down’. I also embrace other female dogs, however, when it comes to fellow males I am of competitive nature so it may go a little rough. I wonder what it will be like meeting you for the first time.

Story
Looking for you ride-or-die soulmate-the kind who sticks by your side through every season of life? Kennedy might just be your girl. She's a survivor with a heart of gold. In 2018, Kennedy was rescued from a shelter where she endured Hurricane Harvey in an outdoor cage, facing 140 mph winds. Whatever came before that storm, she's never let it define her. Kennedy is resilient, wise, and full of love. For the past six years, she's been more than a pet, she's been a steady companion, a hiking partner, a sunset-watching sidekick, and a quiet comfort during hard days. She's snuggled through tears, celebrated joyful moments, and made solo walks feel like shared adventures. Kennedy doesn't just live in your home--she lives in your heart. Kennedy's ideal home is peaceful and loving. She's not a fan of chaos or high-energy dogs, and she's grown less tolerant of small or bouncy pups. She'd thrive as your one-and-only or with other big dogs who respect her space and vibe. She is ready for her next chapter, a home where she can be someone's best friend, protector, and partner in quiet joy. If you're looking for a dog who truly sees you, Kennedy is waiting. The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $300.00 and that includes their vaccinations, spay or neuter, rabies and microchip. Our dogs are also heartworm negative (or we will cover their treatment). 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. Kennedy is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so custody and ongoing care are provided by the foster, not by DFWRM.September 21, 2026, 12:02 am

Story
Charley Dean is a young Dutch Shepherd mix with the intelligence, athleticism, and loyalty this breed is known for. He is potty trained, crate trained, and does well with other dogs and even cats. This handsome boy is full of personality and loves toys, treats, and active playtime with his canine friends. He’s highly intelligent, food motivated, and eager to learn, making him a great candidate for continued training and enrichment activities. As a Dutch Shepherd mix, Charley Dean is not just looking for a couch to nap on — he’s looking for a partner. These dogs are known for their strong bonds with their people, trainability, and work ethic. He will thrive in a home that can provide structure, consistency, daily exercise, and mental stimulation. Puzzle toys, obedience work, hiking, running, agility, scent work, or even learning new tricks are all things he would likely excel at and enjoy. Charley Dean is energetic and athletic, but he’s also a very sweet and loving boy who enjoys being close to his people once his energy is burned off. He would do best with an active adopter familiar with working breeds or someone committed to meeting the needs of a smart, driven dog. With the right home and guidance, Charley Dean has all the potential to become an incredibly loyal, devoted, and fun companion. If you’re ready for a meet and greet, kick off the process with an application at www.flyingbrescue.org/adopt. Our application is thorough but there are no right or wrong answers - we just want to make sure you and the pet are the perfect match. Once we receive your application, we will schedule a phone interview. Our adoptions include a 2-week trial period with fully refundable adoption fees during that period. If you are located outside of Texas, we offer transportation services and have happy families as references. We value transparency, so don’t be afraid to ask us anything.

These pups are in Rowlett, Texas too!

Story
Kaiser had no where else to go when his family’s rental home sold quickly (within 2 weeks). His family waited until the last minute to try to find him a home without success. I went and got him this past Sunday evening (Sept.20th) because there were no other options for Kaiser. He was mainly an outside dog and kenneled indoors sometimes. He is underweight, not neutered, pretty sure not up to date on shots (trying to figure that out). Kaiser is around 1 1/2 years old. Gets along with our 3 dogs. Plays well with our Great Pyrenees (145 lbs)Our chiweenie (8 lbs)likes to chase Kaiser and play, and he is doing well with her and our older chihuahua. He will need lots of patience, as he has so much anxiety and is really scared right now due to losing his home and his people. He loves to play ball and run. He does great in his kennel and is potty trained. He will need time to decompress/trust. Very sweet/loving. Will pay for updated vaccines and neuter, if it doesn’t happen before adoption

Story
Hi, I’m Edgar! All I want is a home with my best friend, Gladys. I’m the handsome tan boy in our bonded pair, and I’m hoping someone will see two senior dogs who still have so much love left to give. ❤️ We don’t know our exact ages, but our sweet gray faces tell you we’ve earned our senior status! We’re ready to trade shelter life for cozy naps, gentle love, and a family to call our own. ✨ A few things to love about me and Gladys: We’re very friendly! We’re sweet and gentle. We know how to sit! We take treats very gently. We don’t jump on you. ❤️ We’re calm and well-mannered. Here’s the important thing about us: Gladys and I are a bonded pair, and we need a home together. We’ve got each other, but we’re still waiting for someone to give us a place to belong. I dream of a home where Gladys and I can relax, feel safe, and spend our golden years side by side. We don’t need fancy things — just someone who believes senior dogs deserve a chance, too. ❤️ Could you be the happy ending we’ve been waiting for? Please consider opening your home to BOTH of us. And if you can’t adopt, sharing our story could make all the difference!
