Story

Sirius is a cuddly, handsome boy. He is also a ride-or-die friend, following you into every room in search of cuddles. He is also protective. If you live alone, you may benefit from such a protective dog! His bark can be loud and scary for people who don&#39t know him. He loves to look out the window and protect his home. He can also be silly and playful. He plays great with his foster&#39s cat, very gentle, even when the cat plays too rough, but can be dog selective. Sirius will go to his new home with all his toys, a divider for the car that keeps him in the backseat while driving, a nail grinder, his paperwork and more. He&#39s mostly pretty quiet, unless he sees another dog out on a walk or through a window, if someone is at the door (even if he knows them), or if he is locked in a room alone. In summary, this 32 lb. 10 year old (with the energy and happy enthusiasm of a youngster) is a wonderful, smile inducing companion deserving of the best home out there! 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. Sirius is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Program, so ongoing care and custody are provided by foster, not by DFWRM.June 22, 2025, 12:59 pm

Story

Opalite is one of the pups from our Swifties group. She is a two year old, 9 lb Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. She and nine other small dogs were dumped on a country road in East Texas, and Humane Tomorrow took them all into our adoption program. Foster mom says that Opalite is very sweet but still unsure of this big world. She is ok with other small dogs, especially those about her size, as long as they are more settled. She does not play with other dogs or toys yet and her favorite spot is in your lap. She is a little anxious in a busy household. Not sure how she would do around young children, so best for older kids and above. Adopters will need to give her a few days to settle in and feel safe, then she will be the best lap dog ever. She has now been fully vetted and ready for adoption. If you would like to give Opalite a forever home that really does last forever, please submit your application, and an adoption counselor will contact you.

Story

Niko is a true lap dog with a lively interest in being outdoors. He was spotted multiple times running the streets before his rescue. A very secure backyard and daily walks are an absolute necessity for this investigative, energetic little guy. Niko also enjoys looking out the window and going to dog parks, is cooperative getting his harness on, can be left loose when you're out, is good on car rides, and is not a picky eater.Niko is generally low-maintenance. He seems okay around respectful children (about 6+), and dogs of all sizes (he favors larger dogs), he is playful, and has guard dog tendencies of barking at people/noises near your windows and doors. As energetic as Niko sometimes can be, he is a deep sleeper who loves to snooze on a dog bed with comfy blankets or get under the covers on a people bed. Niko is chock full of personality, but the sort that is especially endearing. He is a charmer with an independent streak. But most of all he is a loving little guy who needs a loving home. ##2280678##

Story

Meet Bunny and look at her precious ears! Bunny is a sweet Chihuahua mix, appropriately 1-2 years old, around 12 pounds, housebroken and crate trained. Bunny is good with other dogs, loves people and is kid friendly (school age children). Sweet Bunny loves to go on walks, play with her toys, chase squirrels in the backyard and snuggle up to rest for her next playful adventure. Bunny is as sweet as they come and loves her people. Sadly, Bunny is heartworm positive and will need to be spayed. She will begin her heartworm treatments in November and once the vet gives the okay she will be spayed. But no need to worry because DFW Rescue Me covers those costs at our local vet. But in the meantime, if you&#39re interested in this precious girl, please complete an application at dfwrescueme.org. 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.October 18, 2025, 11:38 pm
