We are making steps towards our $5000 match, and have reached $750. This is our main fundraising activity (along with Communities Foundation) and if you want to support our work, this is the very best time to make a donation as it will be matched fully! Please consider helping us make the $5000 match goal!

For people that need to surrender a dog to a program like ours, understand that ours is not an "open admission" program where we take any dog, no questions asked. If you contact us for help, we will be asking for pictures of the dog, a health history (if you have one), information about temperament, etc.

Lately, we have gotten calls that start with "are you taking any dogs? And what time can I drop him/her off to you." Nope. Doesn't work that way. We focus on evaluating potential dogs to see if we can realistically help that particular dog. Sometimes we can't. Sometimes we don't have room.

But if you contact a group like ours for help, you are going to be asked questions about the dog before there is any agreement to accept the dog into this program.

Juliet (adopted a number of years ago) just celebrated her 15th birthday! She went out to eat with her family and had a joyful day! So happy to get these lovely updates on adopted dogs. And no, she did not eat those meatballs! That was just her birthday picture!

Please help us with our annual matching grant! Our kind donor has put up $5000 for us to match. This really helps us with veterinary care for the dogs that come to us--especially those with extreme dental needs or heartworms.

This is a great time to donate, because every dollar you give is matched. You can use the Paypal link here or send a check to our post office box:

A reminder--any attempt to try to sell dogs via this page will be removed, and the poster will be blocked. People that do this are basically criminals looking for ways to financially scam people. Don't respond to any of their posts--we work hard to try to find those posts immediately and banish them.

Look at these cute pictures of Coco (the former "Colette") enjoying time with her adopter's grandson. We love to see the happy pictures that adopters send us!

Welcome to Miss Poppy who is a six month old smooth black and tan female miniature dachshund. She has actually been with us since she was 4 months old, when her owner realized that she could not handle a puppy and three children under four years old. Poppy is now old enough to be spayed, and this was done yesterday. So she will be ready for her new home on July 5th; so if you'd like an adoption application--let us know.

Here are some things to know about Miss Poppy:

She is a VERY high energy dachshund who will need an active home. If you're looking for a lap dog--she's not your dog. Poppy will need to go to puppy obedience plus preferably attend a regular dog sport class on an ongoing basis.

Poppy is a high end chewer, so she can not be left outside of a crate when you are away from the house. She also tends to be barky, so she is not an match for an apartment or shared wall setting.

Poppy loves to play and wrestle with other small dogs, so she will need at least one small active dog as a companion that is already well settled in the potential adoptive home. She likes small dogs, but is nervous about larger dogs. She is not a candidate to be an only dog, nor would she be a suitable companion for an elderly small dog.

Poppy is smart and loving, given training in a loving and active home, she will make a fantastic companion for someone.

If you'd like an application, you can email us at: [email protected]
We send our applications only by postal mail, so you'll need to provide a name and postal address for us in your email. You do need to live in the DFW or immediately surrounding area.

NOTE: Pictures were taken two months ago by the former owner, so she is somewhat bigger now than what shows in these pictures.

We received this cute picture of Jingles recently. He was treated some years ago in our group for heartworms and has been living a wonderful life with his adopter.
