Story
Mabel is settling back into her foster home after being returned by her family, who couldn’t take her when they moved out of state. While we may never fully understand Mabel’s past, it’s clear she’s endured some unkindness—she finds no comfort in human touch and prefers to keep her distance when it comes to physical affection. That said, Mabel still wants to be near you. She’ll quietly follow you around the house, never making a sound. She quickly picks up on routines and will even do a little happy dance at mealtime—especially if Cheerios, her favorite treat, are involved. Mabel is looking for a calm, patient home with one or two adults who will give her the time, space, and understanding she needs to feel safe. While she may never seek out cuddles or affection, we hold hope that, in the right home, she might learn to enjoy gentle connection. Mable just had a senior blood panel at Livewell Animal Hospital and everything looked great! Mable does well with both dogs and cats, travels quietly in a crate in the car, and reliably uses the yard for potty breaks with regular outings. Her hearing and vision aren’t what they used to be—common for her age—and she has arthritis that’s managed with a daily supplement to ease her gait and keep her comfortable. Mable is a 9 year old, 15 lb, Shih Tzu mix. If you’d like to learn more about Mabel, please reach out or apply to adopt her at www.rescuerowinc.org *Please check your junk email folder if you do not receive a response from a Rescue Row member within 2-4 business days. *You must live within an hour of the DFW Metroplex because we do trial adoptions and require a homecheck *Our adoption fees are as follows (paid by cash, check made out to Rescue Row or Zelle / Venmo): Dogs 12 weeks-6 months old: $300 adoption fee Dogs 7 months and older: $275 adoption fee Rescue Row is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) all volunteer dog rescue organization serving the DFW Metroplex. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs. ##2013758##

Story
Pal is a low key friend who has been a faithful companion to his person for all his 14 years. His person has medical challenges that no longer allow him to take care of Pal properly. Pal has not lived with any other pets and has not had a backyard in over eight years. He waits at the door to be taken out and sleeps either on the couch or next to his person's bed. He has no dietary issues or ailments. Photo of Pal was taken last week, but he gets his Summer cut this last week of May. He'll have a lot less hair!

Story
Mayzie is a female Shih-Tzu/Yorki mix and is 13 years old. MacGregor is a male Shih-Tzu and 11 years old. Both have been with us their entire lives and have been a wonderful part of our family. It breaks our heart to re-home them, but with two young g children and busy lives, these aging pups are not getting the attention the need and deserve. They need to be let out a lot more during the day and we would love for them to be with someone who could give them that. We really don't want to split these two wonderful pups up. They have been great with out 3 year old and 9 month old, as well with other relatives dogs. They are super sweet and cuddly, love attention, and have been wonderful to us. With their age and frequent need for potty breaks, we just feel it's not fair to them to keep them in our current situation.
