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.April 4, 2026, 1:33 pm

Story
DOB - Feb. 10, 2020 Reason for rehoming: My son (owner) moved to Africa. I cannot keep him due to my lease. If he cannot be rehomed, he will have to go to a shelter. The local Akita rescue is not accepting any new dogs. Alpha is a sweet and devoted American Akita looking for a forever home where he can thrive. He is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and naturally protective of his family—once he bonds with you, he is your shadow and your biggest fan. Alpha does have environmental allergies, so he’ll need an adopter who can continue his care and keep him comfortable. He cannot be boarded, so he needs a family who can provide in-home care or trusted at-home pet sitting when traveling. He loves being near his people, enjoys calm environments, and does best with someone who understands large guardian breeds. Alpha will make an amazing companion for the right person or family—someone who values loyalty, connection, and a dog who truly loves his humans.

These pups are in Denton, Texas too!

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's always ready for fetch, hikes, and outdoor fun! He's the perfect mix of playful energy and loyal companionship. Buddy gets along with most dogs when introduced properly, though he prefers smaller playgroups. He's potty trained, food-motivated, and a quick learner--just bring treats and watch him shine! Buddy's still figuring out how he feels about cats and kids, but he's open to meeting them with a patient, loving family. He's 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.April 4, 2026, 1:33 pm

Story
Mila is a super sweet, quiet and gentle girl. She gives the best cuddles, communicates very well and comes when called. I think she would be a good fit for a single young woman living alone. She was abandoned with me by her previous owner and I already have a puppy so I can’t afford to keep her. She will be 2 in April and is a bit nervous around new people (especially men). 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 with other pets or a one dog household would be best. Once she knows she’s yours she is a loyal best friend till the end! The adoption fee is required so I know that she will go to a loving home that has good intentions for her.

Story
Meet our beautiful 8-year-old Husky girl — a truly special dog looking for the right home. She is everything people wish Huskies were: calm, quiet, and well-behaved. She is fully house-trained, does not destroy furniture, and is not overly vocal. She has a gentle, easygoing personality and enjoys a peaceful environment. She does have a couple of specific needs, so we want to be upfront to find her the best possible home: • She is uncomfortable on hard floors (tile/wood), so she will need a home with rugs, carpets, or soft surfaces where she can feel secure. • She is not safe with small animals. This includes rodents, small pets, and possibly very small dogs. Because of this, she must go to a home without small animals. • She may do well with another calm dog of similar size, but proper introduction is important. She would do best in a quiet, stable home with someone who understands dogs and can respect her boundaries. She’s a wonderful companion for the right person—loyal and calm
