Jax7 yr old Akita/Belgian MalinoisHouse trained , crate trained, Good with kids, mainly an inside dog but he does love to run and play catch. Knows basic commands, sit, stay, come, etc. We are moving due to family issues and are unfortunately not able to take him with us due to our new living arrangements.

Story
Diesel is an 8-year-old purebred Akita (turns 9 in October — his birthday is 10/18/17). He’s a big fluffy guy who was my ex’s dog and sadly she can’t/ won’t take him back. I want to make sure he finishes out his golden years happily in a household where he can relax and live his best life. Diesel is super sweet once he warms up to you. He’s got such a goofy, fun personality — he loves playing fetch (especially his version of hide-and-seek with toys), getting belly and butt rubs, and just chilling inside. He’s a total inside dog who loves cooler weather and snow. He’s happy to sleep most of the day away (with some loud snoring for comic relief). He will do anything for a treat, especially peanut butter in his special zogo toy! He’s also really well-trained. He’s fully kennel trained and not aggressive.

Story
Teddy is a nearly 4 year old Akita with an easygoing, independent nature. He loves spending his days relaxing and taking things at his own pace, but he's always happy to soak up attention when his people offer it. He's fully house trained and sleeps comfortably in his crate overnight. Teddy is playful and enjoys exploring fenced in areas and engaging in gentle games, tug with stuffed toys is his absolute favorite. He also gets along well with dogs of all sizes and has a calm, respectful presence that many pups appreciate. Teddy is looking for a home that values his mellow personality, gives him space to unwind, and welcomes his sweet, understated affection. If you're hoping for a peaceful companion with a touch of playful spirit, he might be the perfect match. 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. Teddy is participating in the DFW Rescue Me guest dog program, so ongoing care and custody is provided by her foster, not by DFWRM.May 9, 2026, 12:08 am
