Korean Meat Trade Dogs
We were contacted by a young woman in Korea asking for help rehoming some dogs living on a farm as part of the meat trade. She wants to transport these dogs to Animal Hope so we can find them a home. Fortunately, we had a volunteer living not far from the farm who was...
Charlie
A housefire in Cresson killed Charlie's owners and all of their other pets. Someone also shot Charlie in the face with a pistol several years ago, and he's been repeatedly attacked and badly injured by other dogs in the past. Charlie's had it rough. Fortunately, we...
Blake
Blake was adopted from Fort Worth Animal Care and Control in May 2018 and was returned in September 2018 looking like death. He was extremely overweight and had a severe case of demodectic mange. Demodectic mange is typically associated with stress and malnutrition....
Donut
Donut came from Dallas Animal Services, where he landed after being found as a stray. Wherever and however he had been living, it had been hard on him. He was missing his left eye, and had radial paralysis of his left forelimb. Despite all of that, he was still a...
Smiley the Smiling Pit Bull

Mel
Mel is one of our favorite types of dogs... a miscellaneous wiry terrier mix! He has a great attitude, and when it's yard time he sprints for the door so he can get out in the sunshine. He gets along great with other dogs, and is also good with strangers and...
Marsha
Marsha is just the sweetest little chihuahua you'll ever meet. She is affectionate, not fearful at all, and loves to cuddle. She has patellar luxation ... a knee condition common in chihuahuas. While the bum knees mean she can't run a marathon, she can still get...
Kasey
Kasey is a terrier mix that was nearing the end of her time at the municipal shelter. She is very laid back, and not a very high energy dog. She is affectionate but doesn't much care for other dogs. If you're looking for a laid back dog that just wants to hang out...
Kali
Kali and her sister were at a municipal animal control authority and are kind of high-strung dogs. The noise and activity level at traditional city shelters stress out nervous dogs... they will not approach strangers and no one ever gets to see their "real"...
Jersey
Jersey came from a municipal animal control facility and was nearing the end of his time there. He is a fox terrier or something similar. We are not sure why no one wanted to adopt poor Jersey. He is not fearful, he's very affectionate, and he loves to run and play....
