We pulled Adonis from Dallas Animal Services after he was found as a stray with an injured front leg. Once he joined Rescue Row, we took him to see our Orthopedic Surgeon. Unfortunately, the news was not good, as he had a fracture in his leg that was quite old and required a difficult and lengthy surgery to repair. He also tested high heartworm positive, so he went through fast-kill heartworm treatment to eradicate the nasty heartworms. Now that his leg surgery and heartworm treatment have been completed, he is doing water therapy 3 times a week at AquaPaws in Pilot Point, Texas. We did a DNA test on this handsome guy, and per Wisdom Panel, he is 25% Lab/12.5% Australian Cattle Dog/12.5% Rottweiler/12.5% Siberian Husky/37.5% Breed Groups. Adonis is a big teddy bear who loves people and other dogs his size.

Poor Aidan sat on the cold floor of a shelter after being hit by a car. Thankfully we had a foster say yes to opening up their heart and home to this sweet boy. As soon as he joined the resuce he had surgery to repair his right greater trochanter fracture and reduction of the hip luxation. Aidan has the most adorable crooked smile! He has come so far since we saved him. He was broken both physically and mentally, but now he is ready to begin looking for his family. He will need someone that is willing to take things slow with him. He is so sweet, but very shy. Although he does good around children, we feel it is best for him to be in a home with older kids or a home without kids since he is so shy.

Annie is a 2 1/2 year old Australian Cattle Dog/American Staffordshire Terrier/GSD.Siberian Husky mix. This is what her current care taker has to say about her: “Annie is super smart, she knows how to sit, lay, shake and place on command. She is kennel trained and potty trained. She is super loving and super protective. She does better with boy dogs, but they need to be submissive. She’s a typical Shepherd, high prey drive so no cats or small dogs. I don’t have a problem introducing her to new people, but she’s very protective when strangers approach me on a walk or someone comes to the door. She’s probably not the dog for an inexperienced handler. She can be nervous around kids so a home without kids or with teenagers would be ideal. She will play catch until your arm falls off! She really is a great dog and we all love her to death!!” If you would like to adopt a dog from Rescue Row please fill out an online application at rescuerowinc.org *Please check your junk email folder if you do not receive a response from a Rescue Row member within 48 hours. *You must live within an hour of the DFW Metroplex because we require a homecheck *Our adoption fees are as follows (paid by cash or a check made out to Rescue Row): Dogs 10 weeks-6 months old: $300 adoption fee Dogs 7 months and older: $275 adoption fee _____________________________________________________________________ Rescue Row is a section 501(c)3 (non-profit) no-kill all volunteer dog rescue organization, incorporated in March 2017, serving the DFW Metroplex.

Meet Benny! This little guy was originally found as a stray, taken to the shelter, never reclaimed, adopted, and then surrendered back to the shelter a couple days later because he could scale their chain link fence and escape. He is a little timid and nervous right now, but who could blame him! He has had so much change in such a short amount of time. He went to Panther Creek Animal Hospital yesterday and he is heartworm negative 👏👏, estimated to be 2 years old and we believe he is a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix. He is a little guy weighing in at 4.7 lbs and will be neutered soon and then we will be searching for his forever home.

Blair was welcomed into Rescue Row after we were contacted by a family who found their dog limp and bleeding. Blair had been attacked by another dog and shaken like a rag-doll. We rushed her to the vet and x-rays showed that her spine was broken which paralyzed her. After a couple weeks of healing, she began water therapy, walking in a wheelchair, and acupuncture in hopes of getting her up and walking again. Although she has made great progress and can now move her legs, she is still unable to hold up her own weight to walk more then 3 or 4 steps. Surgery has been ruled out by a CT scan, and her chances of walking soon are slim. She is looking for an experienced (or willing to learn) adopter who will continue her physical therapy. She is currently doing water therapy 3 times a week in Pilot Point Texas so her adopter would need to live near by. The rescue would continue to pay for her water therapy. We are unsure if she will ever walk again, but we are not giving up on her. Per Wisdom Panel she is 50% Chihuahua/12.5% Miniature Poodle/12.5% Yorkie/25% Mixed Breed groups. She is completely kennel trained, but needs to be carried outside and helped to go potty. Blair does not know she is different then the other dogs in the home and is such a happy and loving girl.

One of our board members received this picture of a little Chihuahua that was surrendered to a local shelter. Just look at those nails! Today, she went to the shelter to clip her nails and found her growling and shaking in her kennel. A shelter is a scary place for a dog, especially if you only weigh 4 1/2 lbs! It didn’t take this shy pup long to warm up to her and capture her heart. Today, we welcomed Bug into Rescue Row! show less

Not only is Carmen beautiful, but she is a wonderful dog! We are guessing she is about 1 years old and an American Staffordshire Terrier/Dalmatian/Heeler mix. She is potty trained, kennel trained and loves everyone she meets. She loves to play with other dogs so a home with another dog would be ideal! She knows how to sit on command and loves to snuggle up on the couch. She can get excited around new people so kids over the age of 10 would be best!

Daniel had his 2 week post surgery recheck at Mustang Surgical, and everything looks great! He will be neutered on Friday and then will be ready to find his forever family. This guy is the total package. He is potty trained, kennel trained, dog friendly, cat friendly, kid friendly, and loves everyone he meets! Having 3 legs does not hinder him from playing and even running in the backyard. To submit an application for Daniel, please go to https://form.jotform.com/ This sweet boy was found by a Good Samaritan after being seen walking the streets of Frisco dragging a limp foot. She scooped him up and took him to her vet. He was in rough shape with sores on his foot from dragging it on the ground, and he also tested positive for Demodex Mange. After a failed attempt to locate his owners, the vet reached out to one of our amazing supporters who then contacted us to see if we could take him into our program. We took him to Dr. Dean, our wonderful orthopedic surgeon with Mustang Surgical in Ft. Worth, and the news was not great. He did not suffer from any fractures but had severe nerve damage that was not repairable, likely caused by being hit by a car. Unfortunately, he required amputation of that leg, making him a tripawd. We had an offer from one of our supporters to pay for a prosthetic, but unfortunately, the damage went into his shoulder muscle, so he would not be able to lift the leg up to walk with the prosthetic. He had a successful amputation surgery on Tuesday and is doing great in his foster home. He is being very spoiled and loved! He is not having any issues at all walking on three legs since he had already been doing that for who knows how long. At least now he is not having to drag the leg around. Please welcome Daniel to Rescue Row! He is one sweet boy show less

Meet Fiona! Per her DNA results she is: 62.5% American Stafforshire Terrier/12.5% Akita/12.5% Boxer/12.5% Dachshund From Fiona's foster Mom: "Fiona is such a sweet girl! She loves to play with other dogs (no cats) and toys and is also happy just being by her people. She does play very hard so she needs another dog that also likes to play a lot. She seems to understand some commands, loves to be on the leash (although her leash manners could use some work), and loves car rides. She is potty trained and crate trained. Her puppy manners just need some fine-tuning! She does tend to jump up on people out of excitement when she first meets them, we are working on correcting this behavior, but due to this no children under the age of 13.

Letty came to us from Dallas Animal Services after being picked up by Animal Control. She was placed on the urgent list in need of rescue due to her lower mandible being ripped off. We tagged her for rescue and sent her immediately to have reconstructive surgery. This surgery would pull the extra loose skin back over her lower mandible. It was successful and aside from the scars, you wouldn't know what she had endured. Soon after her recovery we had x rays down on her back and lower end as her gait was off. She is able to run and play like any other dog, however we wanted to make sure we had a complete picture of what was going on. It was determined she has a deformed spine which is why her gait is off and she sits a little funny. Again, none of this keeps her from living her life to the fullest. Letty is a fantastic dog and loves all people and all dogs. She is a dog that might need help getting on and off the bed or sofa, but we don't see this as a "special need" as many of us help our personal dogs sometimes. Letty has some prey drive and we do not feel she would do well around birds or cats. She would benefit from a family who has a family member stay home or work from home.

This pregnant girl will be arriving to us on Sunday from Edinburg, TX. If you aren’t familiar with the area, it has a population of 98,000 people and is about 30 minutes from the Mexico border. There is so much work to be done there, as well as Texas as a whole but, no matter how many rescuers are “boots on ground” or networking it never seems to end. The amount of dogs that roam or are just trying to survive is enough to bring you to your knees. Dogs are breeding left and right, bringing even more unwanted litters in this world. We hate that this girl has had to do whatever it takes to survive not only for herself, but for her unborn babies. We personally can’t imagine being pregnant and not feeling safe day in and day out. The streets are a scary place, especially in Edinburg. No dog deserves this life and while there are so many others just like her, we are relieved to make a difference in not only her life, but her unborn babies. Navi is a sweet 5 year old who did a fantastic job raising her babies and is now ready to find her forever family! She is your typical Husky, friendly and full of energy. She would do best in a home with another dog that likes to play. She is potty trained and kennel trained.

Stewie is such a sweet lug! He is about 2 years old and a Great Pyrenees mix. We figured out that Stewie’s ideal family should be very structured with him (someone may or may not have referred to him as a stubborn teenage boy…stinky socks not included). Additionally, he would do best in a home with another mid-size to large dog; while he likes small dogs, he does want to play and could potentially hurt a smaller dog without meaning too. Additionally, because he was a stray for some time, Stewie believes he would do best being able to roam, but we disagree, so a taller fence (at least 6 feet tall) is required. He doesn't lick faces, is crate trained, potty trained and knows basic commands. He can be very protective of his yard and owner, so he needs a strong handler. He is ready for the right home that is willing to give him plenty of exercise and that makes sure he doesn't dig his way to freedom (he's kind of a backyard escape artist).

Xena has not had an easy life. She was originally found on Dowdy Ferry Road in Dallas, which is a huge dumping ground for dogs. She was then taken to Dallas Animal Services to do her stray hold, but no one came looking for her. When she joined the rescue, she had a severe Upper Respiratory Infection that cleared up with the help of medication. A few weeks later she was rushed to the vet after collapsing, revealing that she had Vasculitis, a condition that attacks the blood vessels and limits blood circulation to certain parts of the body. In Xena's case, she became unable to walk and her back legs would collapse underneath her. With the assistance of antibiotics, Xena was able to walk again! Unfortunately, her problems weren't over yet. She then suffered from bloat where her stomach blew up to the size of a cantaloupe. Thankfully, after a successful surgery Xena pulled through once again! Her last challenge to overcome was Megaesophagus, a condition where the esophagus is enlarged making it impossible to keep food or water down. This condition arose suddenly and disappeared just as fast. Xena ate in an adorable doggy high-chair for a couple of months and had limited water intake along with medication until when suddenly, one day she could keep her food and water down without throwing up! Xena has proven so many times that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and managed to keep an adorable pittie smile on her face the entire time! She is such a joy and is so loved by everyone who meets her. She is a true warrior princess and now it is time for Xena to find her forever family. She would do best in a home with a larger sized dog who likes to play or she would be fine getting all of the love herself. She loves toys! Even though she has been to training, she still gets overly excited on walks when she sees other dogs. No cats or apartments please. Also due to her size, children over the age of 10 years old would be best. She loves little kids, but does not know her size and may knock them down on accident. show less
