Story
Meet Duke - Duke is a very handsome American Staffordshire Terrier with a big blocky head, a bigger heart, and the sweetest soulful eyes you’ve ever seen. This lovable lug is equal parts goofball and gentleman.Duke came to us as a foundling, and although a kind foster family stepped up to help him, they were sadly unable to keep him long term. Now he’s patiently waiting for his forever home — and he’s ready to give it his whole heart.He still has that fun, playful puppy energy and loves to romp around and enjoy life. But here’s the impressive part: when you ask him to sit and “be still,” he does exactly that. Duke listens beautifully and is eager to please. In the short time he’s been at the shelter, he’s already shown us how well he responds to commands, and we believe he is partially potty trained.Duke is dog-friendly and would likely enjoy a canine companion to play with. However, he is not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home is a must for this handsome guy.If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who can switch from playful zoomies to calm and attentive in a heartbeat, Duke might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to leave his past behind and start a new chapter filled with belly rubs, adventures, and unconditional love.Could Duke be the missing piece in your family?

Story
Meet Fenway, Fenny was born on 2/12/25 and is a Great Dane/Pointer mix who was surrendered to our rescue. Fenway is great with other dogs and loves people so much that he wants to stand up on his back legs and give the best bear hugs! He is learning how to walk on a leash and does very well with basic commands like "sit" "stay" and "lay down". He is a professional at fetch and loves to play with his ball. Fenway is now neutered, fully vetted and up to date on all required vaccinations. If you would be interested in giving this big loving boy a home again, please visit our website at Richardsonrescue.org to fill out an adoption application. Adoptions are by appointment only. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 11, 2026, 3:24 pm

Story
Rogue is a 6-year-old Great Dane with a heart as big as he is. He’s a goofy, affectionate gentle giant who thinks he’s a lap dog. He thrives on companionship, physical affection, and spending time outdoors.Rogue does great with other dogs and would love a home with a canine companion, but that is not necessary. He’s house trained, knows basic commands, and was crate trained earlier in life. He’s not very interested in toys—he’d rather be with his people or another dog.He’s had positive interactions with children, but due to his size and energy level, we believe a home without young children would be best.We’re making the difficult decision to rehome him due to our growing family and a now-mobile baby. Rogue is incredibly loving and deserves a home where he’ll get plenty of attention and love.

Story
Sweet Winnie is a year and a half and weighs in at 75 lbs. She does have some Great Dane in her bloodline. She is very loving and affectionate, loves to bring her toys to you. She would be great with dogs her size as she is a little too much for smaller dogs. She also does well with the kitties. She is looking for a fun loving forever home to go on adventures with her. If you would like to meet this wonderful girl, please continue to read and fill out our on line application. https://cliffordsarmyrescue.com/1423-2/ RECOMMENDATIONS & PROCEDURES Please note, the following are recommendations for puppies and different breeds of dogs. We will evaluate each application on an individual basis to see what is best for the dog/puppy and the potential adopter. Puppies are very fragile and not toys. We recommend children be at least six years old to be considered to adopt a puppy. Small breed dogs ( such as chihuahuas, yorkies, shih tzus , etc) we recommend children be at least eight years old. Herding, working breeds we recommend children to be at least 12 years old. Again these are recommendations. Adoption Procedures: We will travel up to two hours ( one way) to do physical home visits and we do not do virtual home visits. Most of our dogs come from bad situations and we want to know where their forever home is going to be. While we do not require fencing on all dogs, certain dogs that need a fenced in yard, will not be adopted unless potential adopter has one. We also adopt some dogs to people who live in apartments ( as long as the landlord approves) but not all dogs. We do not adopt to anyone under 21 years of age. We also do not feel college students are the best fit for most of our dogs. Most of our dogs again, come from bad situations and need lots of attention. Most college students have financial responsibilities and we feel need to be focused on school. Our goal is to match the dog with a family that fits the dog’s needs. We are solely focused on what is best for each dog in our rescue. These dogs have had enough moving around, dumped out like trash, and we want to ensure they find their forever home. We do require you sign a contract and if at any time you cannot continue to provide for the dog, the dog comes back to the rescue. Your first step to adoption is filling our our on line application. You will then get an automated email stating we got your application Next our adoption coordinator will be in touch either by phone or email If your references check out, a home visit will be scheduled. After the home visit is done, a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in and/or any other available dogs we have will be scheduled If the dog and you are a match, contract will be signed and you may take your new family member home.

Story
Meet sweet boy Kipper. Kipper was born August 30, 2023. He, his littermates and his mom ended up at the local county shelter. We pulled him and the rest of his family. Mom is a Great Dane mix, dad or dads were traveling salesmen and did not leave their card for us to find out who they were. Best guess is Dane/Lab mix. Kipper has a unique breathing pattern. Once he is tired, he breathes very heavily. We have taken him to specialists, and they said it is nothing to be alarmed about, just genetic. Kipper is great with other dogs and cats. He also loves, loves, loves his people. He like to snuggle and lean into you to get as close as possible to you. Could Kipper be the match for your new family member?

Story
Ink's puppy months should have been growing, playing, and living the carefree puppy life. Instead, he was fighting to survive. He came to us heartbreakingly thin and suffering from an abdominal obstruction. Somehow, through it all, he never lost his gentle heart. Now healthy, happy, and ready for a fresh start, this big puppy loves other dogs, is house-trained, and firmly believes he's the perfect lap dog. He'll chase a cat that runs but quickly loses interest, and he's wonderful with kids, but keep in mind that 120 pounds of puppy enthusiasm can accidentally knock over the little ones.

Story
Meet Rufus - If the dictionary had a picture beside the words “large and in charge,” it would definitely be Rufus. This goofy boy is full of personality, confidence, and herding dog energy! Rufus is incredibly smart and thrives when he has a job to do. Like many herding breeds, he naturally wants to herd anything that moves — especially children — and may nip at heels when trying to “work.” Because of this, Rufus would do best in a home with a small adult-only family and no young kids. Don’t let his working instincts fool you though, underneath all that energy is a sweet, loyal boy who just wants guidance, structure, and someone to keep up with him. Rufus would love an active home where he can stay mentally and physically engaged. He’s goofy, handsome, and full of character… and he’s ready to find his perfect match.
