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&#39s always happy to soak up attention when his people offer it. He&#39s 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&#39re 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.February 1, 2026, 12:32 pm

Story
Destiny is a puppy who is 6 mo. old. She has lots of energy, and likes to run outside, sit out in the sun, play with balls, plush animals, and plastic bottles. She is potty trained, responds to the "sit" command and notifies you when she wants to go outside and come inside. She is an explorer and very curious about her surroundings. Because she is still a puppy, she has a tendency to bite your hands and feet and chew on anything she can find. She loves to receive attention and if you do not give it to her, she will let you know by picking up one of her chewing toys and bringing it to you for a game of tug-of-war or will gently bite you for attention. Her sleep schedule is from 10 pm - 5 am. Does well with small kids and among other dogs. Will bark only when needing attention. Looking to re-home with a loving family who will give her all the attention she deserves. It breaks our heart to let go of her but due to our busy schedules and lifestyle, we are unable to

Story
Buddy is a healthy, happy 1.5-year-old Husky mix weighing about 55 pounds. With a zest for life and a heart full of love, he&#39s always ready for fetch, hikes, and outdoor fun! He&#39s the perfect mix of playful energy and loyal companionship. Buddy gets along with most dogs when introduced properly, though he prefers smaller playgroups. He&#39s potty trained, food-motivated, and a quick learner--just bring treats and watch him shine! Buddy&#39s still figuring out how he feels about cats and kids, but he&#39s open to meeting them with a patient, loving family. He&#39s neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to go. Found as a stray in a local park, Buddy is now searching for a forever home where he can feel safe, have fun, and be part of the family. 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. Buddy is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so custody and ongoing care are provided by the foster, not by DFWRM.September 7, 2025, 11:31 pm

Story
Mila was dropped off with me by an extended family member and was supposed to only stay a week but her owner has not been responding, hasn’t made any plans for her continued care and it’s been almost a month. I have a puppy and can’t afford another dog. She will be 2 in April and is a bit nervous around new people (especially men). She is super sweet, quiet and comes when called! She has a lot of energy in the mornings so daily walks or a big yard is ideal. Mila is very protective so slow introductions or a one dog household would be best.
