Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Wacha is a 5 year old pittie mix, weighing in at about 50 lbs. She’s spayed, house broken and potty trained; extremely playful, affectionate and cuddly!  Wacha is an active, athletic girl that will be best paired with a family who provides the physical activity she so enjoys!  Maybe introduce her to “dog sports” like agility, nose-work, or just a running partner. Wacha doesn’t appreciate cats, and can be “dog selective”. A home with small children wouldn’t be good because of their unpredictability, but she loves older children and adults. If you feel your home might be the right place for this wonderful dog, the place to start is with the adoption application found at www.dfwrescueme.org/adopt.  Once submitted, the foster will contact you to tell you more, and to arrange a meeting! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $250.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter. Wacha is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so custody and ongoing care are provided by the foster, not by DFWRM.October 14, 2024, 10:13 pm

American Staffordshire Terrier

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Our boy, Nate, is only 5 months old, but he's already been looking for a home for half his life! Nate and his brother, Blue (adopted), were born in the leaves and dirt in a yard in W. Dallas as their momma wasn't allowed in the house or given any shelter. Five months later, Nate is a healthy, vibrant boy who is affectionate and playful with other dogs. He's handsome and unique with grey/green eyes and he was born with a nubby tail! Total guess but we think Nate may be around 40 or 50 lbs full grown, based on the size of parents. Nate is a smart boy and is already crate & potty trained. If you feel your home might be the right place for this wonderful dog, the place to start is with the adoption application found at www.dfwrescueme.org/adopt.  Once submitted, the foster will contact you to tell you more, and to arrange a meeting! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $250.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Fennec

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, Young

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Fennec is a goofy young boy who loves people and cuddling on the couch if given the chance. He does fantastically in a crate at night or when we need to leave the house. He still acts like a puppy so he does become destructive if bored. Mental stimulations like peanut butter kong toys or snuffle mats have been a wonder for him. He is currently living with 2 cats and 1 dog, he has learned to give them space but does become possessive occasionally. He’s learned so quickly and does best with a routine, he does great on the leash and will do anything for a treat. We are working on jumping up and some simple commands. He has not been introduced to children yet. He is more timid around men but has never shown any aggression toward people and even when he challenges our other pets, he backs down quickly when challenged back. He needs someone to trust and show him that life doesn’t have to be so scary anymore If you feel your home might be the right place for this wonderful dog, the place to start is with the adoption application found at www.dfwrescueme.org/adopt.  Once submitted, the foster will contact you to tell you more, and to arrange a meeting! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $250.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter.
