Story
💔 RASCAL’S STORY 💔 On 4/16, Rascal and his best friend were dumped and left to survive on their own. Day after day they stayed together, trying to make it in a world that had already failed them. Tragically, Rascal’s buddy was hit by a car and didn’t survive. Rascal was suddenly alone, scared, and still waiting for someone to come back for him… but no one ever did. Today, we were finally able to trap Rascal safely. And for the first time in a long time, he doesn’t have to sleep wondering if he will survive another night. Rascal is only 1 year old and weighs 20 pounds. He’s completely vetted, dog friendly, and such a sweet little guy. He’s a little timid at first after everything he’s been through, but once he realizes he’s safe, all he wants is love. You can see it in his eyes — he wants to trust again. He wants a soft bed, kind hands, and a family that will never leave him behind. After losing his best friend and surviving alone, Rascal deserves a happy ending. Please help us find this precious boy a foster or forever home. He’s already survived so much. Now he just needs someone to show him that life can finally be good. 🐾 DFW ONLY https://www.pawsomepals.org/apply-for-adoption

Story
This adorable little girl is just over a year old and weighs about 12.5 pounds. She’s fully vetted, heartworm negative, microchipped, and making great progress with her potty training. Her adoption fee is only $25! She came from a hoarding situation where dogs were kept in crates in a small apartment, so crates aren’t her favorite place to be. But, it sometimes can be her safety place. Understandably, she’s still a bit nervous and learning to trust. Sometimes she’s too scared to be caught, but with patience, gentleness, and time, she’ll come around and show her true loving nature. Because of her background, she’s not a good fit for apartment living—she’ll need a secure backyard where she can safely explore and feel comfortable. She does best with dogs her size or larger, and would thrive in a calm, understanding home that’s willing to let her open up at her own pace. She’s not an “instant dog”—she’ll need time to trust and adjust—but once she feels safe, she’ll reward you with a lifetime of love and loyalty. Could you be the one to give this sweet girl the safe, loving home she deserves? Complete your application today at https://chloespetrescue.org/application

Story
Eaton, otherwise known as Missy, is an active rat terrier who was given the nickname Hoover for her quick pick-up of dropped food. She was rescued recently after having been dumped from a car in th early morning of a cold day. Her age is estimated at 2 1/2 years, and she is both house & crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night without fuss. True to her small breed, Missy has high energy levels, high exercise needs, and a strong need to hunt and chase. Missy is getting her figure back (could it be she just really had some holiday feasts somewhere?) and may have had a litter in her past. She has the cutest backside wiggle and is happiest nestling in your lap or next to you on the sofa. Missy is loving, affectionate, and she will be a very loyal family member.
