My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Elliot is an 8-pound, 1-year old Wire-Haired Terrier. He is absurdly adorable and a constant source of entertainment and love.
Elliot loves his people. If there’s a lap to be had, he wants to be sitting in it, napping in it, playing in it. He’s a great little TV-watching buddy. You start with an ear scritch on his cute little head and somehow he always manages to position himself for a nice tummy rub. He would like to sleep snuggled up against his person in the bed, but there are already four dogs in the bed and foster dogmom does not want five, so he sleeps on an ottoman beside the bed.
Elliot’s foster home has five other dogs and he gets along well with all of them. He enjoys playing with the other dogs, but his very favorite thing to do is play with stuffed squeaky toys. He tosses them in the air (or across the room) and catches them, whirling and twirling in the process. He can keep this up for quite a while, creating great entertainment for all those watching him. He is also very fond of chew toys.
Even more than playing with his toys, he loves to play with squirrels. He’s about the same size they are, so there’s no chance of him ever catching one, but he will stand at strict attention by the tree until a squirrel shows up and then leap and prance and have himself a wonderful time.
Elliot was found starving and roaming the streets in the Rio Grande valley, where we suspect he had been for some time. As a result, while his housetraining is in progress, he’s not very far along yet. He has run of house when foster dogmom goes out because he is not destructive at all—with the exception of paper of any kind left on the floor! He loves tearing that into teeny tiny pieces.
Elliot would be a great dog for a household with other dogs and a family with older children. He is not suitable for young children because he is still puppy-mouthy. He gets barky when he wants your attention or when spies a dog walking by from his window perch and so would do better in a house than an apartment.
Elliots’s adoption fee is $275 and includes neuter and all shots. He is heartworm-negative and on heartworm medication.

During Covid, we got used to doing our adoptions online, and that's how we still operate. However, we occasionally do adoption events at Hollywood Feed in Flower Mound and at PetSmart in Roanoke.

More about this rescue
We’re a new group (as of January 2019) composed of experienced dog rescuers. We are all-volunteer and 100% foster-based—no shelters or facilities to crush the spirits of our dogs. We have applied for 501c3 status as a non-profit corporation.
We are an oddball assortment of misfits who all happen to love dogs. We pull our dogs from shelters, we find them on the streets, we take them from homes that can no longer care for them, and we find them permanent, loving homes. We are not breed specific--we love them all!
We're headquartered in Lewisville/Flower Mound, but our members are far-flung through North Dallas and into Fort Worth.
