Meet Mikey McMuffin - Adopted!  - Hi!  I am a very, small tan chihuahua and I only weigh about 7 pounds.  I love to play because I am still a puppy only about 9 months old.  Before I came to this great place, I was so scared.  I was hiding in a storm drain and you will never guess what, I was purple.  Someone had put something on me that stained my fur and skin purple and it was actually burning my skin.  I was sad, hungry, and tired when a nice lady stopped her car and helped me. I wasn't sure at first, but I figured anything would be better than how I feel right now.  I made a great decision, I was taken to the groomer and the vet and now the purple is almost all gone and my burns are all healed up.  I feel soooo much better.  I just went to the vet again and got neutered and all of my shots.  I am of course heartworm negative and I have taken my heartworm medicine every month.  My foster family is great, but I would love a family of my own.  I can be a little shy at first and may even growl at you, but once I know you are safe then I will snuggle with you all the time.  Hey I was mistreated in the past, so I have to be cautious of who I trust.  I love to play with my foster fur brothers and sisters and even the little human baby who lives here.  Come on you know you want me just email my foster family at dakota@dakotarescue.org and I can come home with you!

Banjo Banjo-Adopted! Meet Banjo- Banjo is a dachshund mix who weighs about 20 pounds. He was found in a horse pasture with his collar and rabies tag on. The people whose property he was on called the place where the rabies tag was from and tracked down the owner. The owner told them that Banjo was their daughter's dog and she had to move to Kentucky. They said they gave him to another rescue group, but when we followed up with that group they had never had him in their program. So it seems, Banjo was abandoned by the parents who didn't want to take care of him. The people who found him took care of him for about a week and absolutely loved him, but couldn't keep him. We are now looking for a forever home for Banjo that will not desert him. Banjo loves people, loves to snuggle and be close to you. He is a little afraid of other dogs, but once he is comfortable he does ok with them. He is not aggressive at all, just a little afraid. We know he is just so confused and wants some stability and a place to call home. Banjo is looking for his forever home or a foster to help him get over his shyness.

His founders were on their way to the airport for a week's vacation, they were shocked to see a dog in the middle of the freeway with a can stuck on his head. Other cars on the freeway were swerving to avoid him, but they knew he was an accident waiting to happen. They couldn't just leave him there so they pulled over to the shoulder and reversed back to him. He wasn't moving from his spot in the middle of the lane so it was easy for them to approach him. They thought they had luck on their side when a Harris County Sheriff pulled up behind our car to protect them from the traffic. He helped them pull the can off his head, but unfortunately, he said he couldn't take the dog because they were not allowed in their vehicles. They asked him to contact Animal Control, but he informed them that they don't answer calls on weekends. His answer to the situation was to place the dog off the freeway in a nearby grassy area. They didn't think that was the right thing to do. They remembered a new pet boarding facility that had recently opened up near Hobby Airport (Pet Paradise Resort) and they drove there to see if they could help out. They were very kind and offered to board him for them and take him to the vet they work with the next day. "Freeway" remained with them until they returned from their vacation a week later.

He is has a beautiful dark brown coat with really nice white markings and big floppy ears. This little baby boy was so scared and was only wanting to feel safe.

Can you please consider this love bug into your home?
Tina Tina-Adopted!- She is a 2 year old Beagle mix, approximately 26 lbs. UTD on all of her shots and has been spayed. She is a very special girl that requires some patience and a bit of hand holding, but once you understand her she can be a bundle of joy. She sometimes becomes frightened with loud noises. This can sometimes cause her to jump and crouch down. When walking she will do much better when following other dogs, but if there are any loud noises or barking it can trigger some fear. She does great with other dogs and thoroughly enjoys playtime with them once comfortable. Once she trusts you, she can be a love bug and lap dog for hours. Very low key and mellow and she makes the best couch potato partner. She is a very easy dog to care for because she just wants to lay around, only minor hiccup will be when needing some encouragement to go outside and back in when needed. Poor Tina, not her fault, she just needs some patience and time to build up her confidence. Once she trusts her new owners she will be the best dog ever. Please consider Tina for your home.

Lombardy Lombardy - Adopted!

Meet Lombardy - What a great rescue story. Our Lombardy truly came from the streets, a homeless stray. He was living on the streets close to a year, but because of his skittish personality it took a long time to approach him. But he was always hungry and that is how the relationship started. It took many months of trusting, but he finally became more approachable. As time went on he was finally caught and taken into the vet. As many of our street dogs are, he is heartworm positive, although he is currently being treated. Other than that, great healthy boy, we believe a hound mix, maybe some lab. He is approximately 2 years old, healthy teeth and has beautiful gold eyes. He has immediately become more relaxed as he is around humans more and more and surprisingly he is great on a leash. He gets along great with other dogs, he never has had an aggressive personality and is showing even more of his sweet side each day. When he was a street dog, you would catch him hanging out with other dogs and even stray cats with no issues. Basically he wouldn't hurt a fly. If you want a low key, mellow loving and loyal dog, Lombardy is the rescue for you. His name came from the street he was rescued from. Please consider giving this homeless stray a chance. Lombardy is up-to-date with routine shots and neutered. For more photos check out Lombardy on Petfinder...PetFinder - Lombardy

When you first meet Hunter he will be a bit shy but it doesn’t take long and he’s ready to run, play and fetch. Loves to receive praise and being petted. Quiet, doesn’t bark unless he needs to, not hyper but does enjoy playing in the backyard. It took him awhile to learn how to walk on a leash but with some training he finally learned.

She will play ball and drops on her own will, but will let you grab it from her mouth.  She is also an outstanding fetcher.  She is very people friendly and will approach everyone with kisses and hugs if you let her.  She does good on a leash. Ginny had been with us almost since the beginning of Dakota Rescue and everyone loves her, only issue is due to her breed, she is high energy, which was not her fault at all.

Meet Sarah - Sarah was found by a lady on the side of the road near her home. She had five dogs already and could not keep poor Sarah. She is a very sweet dog. The vet said she was about 7 to 8 months old and in good health, we thought maybe a bit older. She got her shots including bordetella and rabies. She has not had much exposure to new things. She is very shy but does not ever get aggressive. She is very submissive. When she is unsure she just puts the breaks on and will not go. She is working on crate training and has picked up on potty training really well. She gets along well with dogs. There has never been any aggression from this dog. She does crave companionship. She will lay down with her cat on her deck. She loves to be petted and loves attention.

She sent out an email plea asking for a rescue organization to take him into their program. Dakota Rescue agreed to take him into their program. In the meantime she had him fully vetted and agreed to foster him until we could find him his forever home. When it came time to bring Rex to his first adoption day his current foster realized that she and her husband had grown very fond of Rex and couldn't give him up. A case of another foster failure but thank goodness for Rex. He now has his forever home and his current owners will never abandon him.

Hunter Hunter - Adopted!

Meet Hunter - He was a lost dog found over the Christmas holidays. The rescurer tried to find his owner by posting signs, contacting the area vets, etc. No one claimed him. She already has a frail, 12 year old, small dog and is unable to keep Hunter. He is a neutered male approximately 55-60 pounds, up to date on all of his shots. We are thinking possibly a German Shorthair Pointer and Border Collie mix. According to the vet he is around one and a half years old and in good health. He had no collar or chip at the time found. He is house-trained and will sit on command and has lots of energy. Can you find it in your heart to give Hunter a good home.

They were very hungry, thirsty and neglected, and their hair was long and extremely matted. One had motor oil on her back. The vet treated them for tapeworms and hookworms, and both tested positive for heartworms. Since their rescue, they have recovered fully and are living with their original rescuer.
