Story
Meet Bobby!Bobby came to us from the shelter after being surrendered for escaping—but meeting him, it feels less like he was trying to get out and more like he was searching for a place where he finally felt safe.This gentle 2-year-old, 21-pound boy has a soft, easygoing spirit that makes him instantly lovable. He is dog friendly, house trained, wonderful with children, and thrives on calm, reassuring companionship. While he hasn’t been tested with cats, his laid-back temperament suggests he may do well.Bobby came into rescue heartworm positive, but he completed treatment like a champ and now has a clean bill of health. He’s ready to leave the uncertainty behind and step into a life of comfort and stability.Bobby is not a fan of being crated and would do best in a home where he can have a little more freedom and continue to build trust and confidence.He isn’t asking for much—just a soft place to land, a patient heart, and someone who will give him the time and reassurance he’s been missing. In return, Bobby offers quiet loyalty, gentle companionship, and a love that feels like home.Bobby is ready to finally exhale… all he needs is someone to welcome him in.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt. It doesn`t obligate you, but it is the first step. We don`t get to all of the inquiries but respond to all applications. Thank you for choosing to rescue!

Rat Terrier

Male, Adult
Carrollton, TX

Story
BREED-Rat Terrier Mix; SEX-Male; SIZE-Small; WEIGHT-13 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 4 Years; SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; ADOPTION FEE-$250   Gus is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He has a calm, easygoing nature, and his idea of a perfect day is simply being close to his person—curled up in your lap or resting quietly by your side. Gus greets everyone with joy and genuine happiness, and his gentle presence has a way of making you feel instantly loved. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and warmly welcomes new fosters into his home with a kind and patient spirit. Gus does have an autoimmune condition that causes some crusting around his eyes and the sides of his mouth. This means he will need a little extra daily care, including gently cleaning his eyes and mouth with a warm cloth, as well as taking daily medication. The medication is quite manageable, with an average monthly cost of about $20. With this simple routine, Gus remains comfortable and continues to thrive. If you’re looking for a truly special dog—one who will return your love with endless affection and quiet companionship—Gus may be the perfect match for you.March 7, 2026, 2:41 pm

Warhol is a big personality in a little puppy package! He would love to have some fun in a foster home while he recovers from bruising at his neuter site. Reason for Foster: Bruising at neuter site; possible infectionFoster Time Frame: 1 - 2 weeks(The foster time frame may be shorter or longer depending on future rechecks and medical needs.)Foster Care Plan: Warhol has some bruising at his neuter site along with some swelling of his lymph nodes. He is being treated with anti-inflammatories and anti-biotics to prevent infection. This handsome little man gives main character energy and would do best in a home where he is the only pet.How to take this pet home...* ADPOT: Warhol is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, which allows prospective adopters to take pets home before they are available for adoption. Visit Operation Kindness and speak with our Client Services team. Foster-to-Adopt placements are first-come, first-served. * FOSTER: Interested in fostering this pet?

Story
If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment to visit with this animal, please email us at info@animalhope.org or call 817‑984‑1129 between 12 pm and 6 pm.Starfire is a 4‑year‑old Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix weighing about 8 pounds, and she’s a bright, resilient little dog with a gentle spirit. We took her in from a city animal control after she was brought in having trouble with her back legs. After diagnostics, it was determined she had a small spinal fracture. With a few weeks of treatment and careful monitoring, she has healed beautifully and is now ready for a loving home.Starfire will always have some limitations with her back end, but with the right family and a calm environment, she will truly thrive as a devoted companion. She even attended our pet therapy event with a local mental health hospital and did wonderfully with everyone she met — adults and kids alike.She has done well around other dogs, but we keep her interactions limited to smaller, calmer ones to avoid any risk of reinjury. For her safety, she should avoid large dogs, hyperactive dogs, or young children who may not understand boundaries. This is not due to aggression — simply to protect her from any potential risk of reinjury.She has been cleared as healthy by our veterinary team. Her adoption fee is $300.Because we don’t observe our animals in home settings, we aren’t able to guarantee whether she is housebroken.Upon intake, every animal receives:Spay/neuter surgeryMicrochipAll age‑appropriate vaccinationsBlood and fecal testing (with treatment if needed)Flea, tick, and heartworm preventionA complimentary wellness exam 7–10 days after adoptionPlease note adopters must be at least 21 years old and live within an hour of our facility.If you’d like to meet Starfire, we’d be happy to help. She’s a loving, brave little dog who’s ready for a safe, patient home where she can shine. 🐾✨
