Story
Copper is a fantastic buddy that loves his people. He loves watching for squirrels and protecting the yard! Copper adores his “stuffies” and loves to do zoomies with them. Copper would also prefer a home without children. He enjoys a brisk walk, know how to sit and shake and loves to howl when he hears any siren! Copper has a good amount of energy, but also loves to relax with his humans. Soft plush blankets are his favorite, and he can barely wait for you to lay them out before he tries and snuggles in. Copper can be choosy about other dogs, but has lived with a large and small dog with success! If you are looking for a devoted companion, Copper is the guy for you. If you feel your home might be the right place for this wonderful dog, the place to start is with the adoption application found at www.dfwrescueme.org/adopt.  Once submitted, the foster will contact you to tell you more, and to arrange a meeting! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $250.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter. Copper is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so custody and ongoing care are provided by the foster, not by DFWRM.October 14, 2024, 10:13 pm

Story
Archer came to our rescue after being picked up as a stray. He doesn’t know his front ankles aren’t ‘normal’ as he gets around just fine. This condition is Angular Limb Disorder and attempting surgeries to resolve could make his situation worse. While he wouldn’t be a great running companion he still loves going for walks and short jogs. Long or strenuous walks could make him sore, so his family would want to avoid that as he would go if asked.This handsome boy is a happy, outgoing, gentle soul. He loves humans of all sizes and ages. Being with his humans and getting attention is his very favorite thing. He lives with lots of other dogs and is fine with everyone unless they are nasty to him; he won’t be bullied by anyone. He is good around the cats in his foster home who are very dog savvy. Archer has excellent house manners and is crate trained. He is engaged with his humans and treat motivated so would do well with training. He already has great recall and will sit for treats. He loves going for rides and would be a great go-everywhere dog. Archer is fully vetted – current vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Story
Bianca came to us with a head trauma which resulted in the loss of her eye and surgery to repair the damage to her mouth/facial area, but she fully recovered and is a happy, outgoing, playful girl.This lovely girl gets along with other dogs of all sizes and ages and would excel in a home with other dogs to spend time with. She is great with humans of all sizes and ages also and loves getting attention. Though she is crate trained, she would rather not have to be in one; she’s not destructive and is only crated in her foster home for safety reasons. She has great house manners and will go to the door when she needs to potty.Bianca is fully vetted - current with her vaccines, spayed and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, and microchipped.

Bodi

Pointer Boxer

Male, 11 mos

Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bodi is an one year old old mix breed pup, and we think he looks a lot like a Pointer/Boxer mix. This cute boy is all about fun, fun, fun! He loves going to the dog park and is friendly with every dog and person he meets. He also loves taking walks and has great leash manners. Again, friendly with every dog and person he meets along the way. He is a sweet boy that likes to play and then take a good long nap or cuddle up to his people. His favorite toy is a good chew bone. Bodi is not great with cats. He probably just wants them to play with them, but most cats will have no interest in playing with a goofy puppy. The first step to meeting Bodi is to submit your application, and one of our adoption counselors will contact you.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Although she doesn't look like it, Venus's mom was a Great Pyrenees who spent her life in the pasture guarding goats. She apparently had a rendezvous with the neighbor's Pointer, and 2 months later delivered a litter of puppies in the pasture.  The Pyrenees was owned by an elderly couple who never handled the pups or socialized them in any way. Over time, the pups grew up and some disappeared, leaving just three growing up to become adults. The elderly owners reached the point where they could no longer remain at home, so when they went into congregate care, a kind friend of the owners started feeding the dogs and asked a local vet what should be done about these remaining three feral dogs, who were almost 5 years old at this point. The vet was an old country vet who clearly had old school ways of thinking, as he said "You'll never catch 'em. Just shoot 'em." The kind friend was heartbroken to discover later that the vet had apparently made the same recommendation to someone else, who took it as a challenge, and managed to shoot one of the three remaining dogs. At that point, the friend called a local rescuer to ask for help, hoping to save the other girls. The rescuer came in, assessed the situation, and called in professional trappers. It took months to get the last two dogs into a trap, but the moment they did, the dedicated rescuer drove to Windsong Ranch in the middle of the night to bring the girls into Bluebonnet Animal Rescue. One of the sisters has a shiny black coat, and the first name that came to us was Black Beauty. But we already had a dog in our rescue named Beauty, so we named her Venus, after the goddess of beauty. Once we had chosen that name for her, since we had a pair of sisters, it was an easy leap to the name Serena for the mostly white dog. Weeks turned into months, and the sisters grew accustomed to life in one of our barn kennels (each of which has a 32' long dog run). They smiled and wagged their tails every time they saw me, but they would not allow me to get close enough to touch them. Except during thunderstorms, fireworks, and days when our neighbors were either hunting or having target practice in the empty pasture adjacent to ours. The girls are terrified of this type of loud noise, and during those events, I could sit in the kennel with them and pet them. They were literally shaking with fear. We finally decided that they were not going to make enough progress for me to get a leash on them to take them to the vet, so one at a time, I caught each girl and paid the price with scratches on my arms and legs, as the girls were still completely terrified of human touch. I loaded each girl into a crate and took her to the vet's office, where we carried the crate inside, and the vet sedated the dog while still in the crate. Then after surgery, they put the still sleeping dog back in the crate and back in the van, and home we went. At home, we carried the crate into the house and put it into our "dog infirmary" which used to be our guest bedroom but has served MANY more dogs than humans through the years. The bedroom has sliding doors that open to a patio, which has a fence to keep it separated from the rest of the yard. We put a strip of fake grass at the edge of the patio to serve as their potty area, and the bedroom and patio became the new home for Venus and Serena. Over time, with lots of treats (and patience), the girls reached the point where they would allow us to pet them, and they learned to sleep in a crate at night. The next stage in their journey of learning "how to dog" was to move to a foster home, again, one at a time, where they learned to walk on a leash. We were quite frankly amazed at how well they did! Each girl seemed to really blossom once they were in different homes, so we're guessing that as long as they had each other, they were less concerned about making attachments to people, and they were feeding each other's fear. Venus and Serena will always be shy, to the point that they are skittish with new people and new situations. But they will each make a wonderful companion in the right home. They get along with other dogs. They have nice manners in the house. They enjoy taking leash-walks. We hope the right adopter comes along and sees the beauty and sweetness in these girls that we have come to know and love.
