🎅🏠 PLEASE HELP US GET A HO HO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! 🏠🎅
Look how long we've been waiting! 👀
These sweet pups have been waiting to get noticed for so long and are hoping to find a family of their very own in time for the holidays this year. Please share them with your network and help their Christmas wishes come true. 🌠
🐾 Duke is a 7-year-old lab mix. He's a big boy who loves to cuddle, play, and beg for food he knows he can't have.
🐾 Bandit is a 4-year-old pittie mix. He's a medium-sized boy who wants nothing more than to be near his people. He always looks serious but is a silly goofball that lives for snacks.
🐾 Reagan is a 4-year-old plott hound mix. She's a medium-sized girl who is pretty much perfect. She's laid back and playful. Loves toys and every dog she meets.
🐾 Stable is a 16-month-old pittie mix. He's on the smaller size of medium and is incredibly handsome. He is a playful boy who can be a little shy. He loves treats and his doggie friends.

💃🥺 Welcome to the Ball, Belle 🥺💃
You may not feel beautiful right now, but you will soon. ❣
"Belle" was surrendered to an area shelter because her family is being broken apart with one member going into hospice care and the other heading to a nursing home. No other family members wanted to take her in. Belle is so confused and scared by her change in situation, but she got a ride out of the shelter today when she joined the I Am Dog Rescue family. ❤ We were able to bail her out because one of our fosters is willing to commit to helping her and a temporary foster stepped up to help out until her regular foster is back in town after Thanksgiving. 🦃
Belle was happy to cuddle into her temp foster mama's lap on her freedom ride but is terrified when she's not being held. When she got inside her new temporary foster home, she tried to hide in the corner. 😢
She's in pretty rough shape, and we're working on getting her groomed. Belle is an 8-year-old Maltese mix. She'll go see the vet soon, and before we know it, she'll transform into the gorgeous girl we know she's meant to be. 😍

🌼🐶 GRACIE 🐶🌼
Remember this sweet little girl who had a broken leg? We haven't had a chance to get any updated pics until just recently, and we had to share how great she's doing.
Gracie and her kitty foster sibling like to terrorize each other while her foster mom is trying to sleep, so that's a fun game. 😒 She is a busy, sweet girl, and we just can't get over her adorable little face. 😍
Gracie may be going to visit a physical therapist. The plate in her leg is very close to the joint and makes her movement a bit stiff. We'll be finding out if therapy is needed, but otherwise, she's healed up and not in pain any longer. 👏

***IMPORTANT- PLEASE READ***

Our adoption fee is $175.

We require an application to be completed prior to setting up a meet-and-greet. We do not offer "on-the-spot" adoptions. We do not adopt on a first-come, first-served basis. We do our best to match dogs with families that will be a good fit to help ensure a successful adoption. We reserve the right to decline any application for any reason.

Due to the nature of our adoption process, our fosters are usually only able to consider forever families within a reasonable driving distance of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

🏡🎅🎄 "A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS" sneak peek! Adorable little Oreo got some time in front of the lovely and talented Photography by Sheila's camera, and we are in love with her in this little hat!
Oreo is ready to find a family of her own, and we'd love for her to have her very first Christmas with them! Please share Oreo and stay tuned for more fabulous pictures of this baby! 😍
Thank you, Photography by Sheila! ❤

Adopt Oreo!

She is a 5 month old, female pit! She is currently a petite, little thing. I would guess she weighs about 25 lbs.

Oreo is potty trained, kennel trained, dog door trained. Great with kids and other dogs with proper introduction. Oreo would be great with someone that likes to take walks or runs. Loves to cuddle and being with her humans.

She is a great little pup, who is available for adoption through my friends at I Am Dog Rescue out of Cross Roads Texas.

Thank you to BarkNFetch, Frisco, TX, for the most adorable Christmas sweater for Oreo's adoption photo session.

🐶🤠 Charlie got to spend a couple days with his buddies at Canine Cowboy, and when he got home he crashed HARD. He has such a great time when he's there. He gets to play with doggie friends, and he gets tons of love from the staff...it's like his own little vacation. 🌴
If you're looking for an affordable kennel-free boarding (or daycare) option for your dog(s), they will love Canine Cowboy. And, you'll love knowing your pups are being cared for like they're family. ❤

🐾🐶 COURTESY POST 🐶🐾
*** DOG IS NOT CURRENTLY WITH THE RESCUE ***
This handsome fella is "Ghost", and he's looking for a new family to love. Ghost is about 10 years old, and he loves kiddos and relaxing. He's a laid-back guy and weighs about 80 lbs.
👻 Ghost is current on vaccinations and on heartworm prevention. He is neutered, and his vet records will come with him. He is not a fan of kitties and hasn't been around other dogs for quite some time. Ghost is crate trained and housebroken and walks well on a leash.
🥎 He loves playing with his ball and hanging out with his little boys. His favorite hobby is sunbathing.
🤞 Please share Ghost to other pages and groups, and if you're interested in meeting this boy, please let us know.

🐾 𝗡𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝟮𝟯𝗥𝗗 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝘂 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝟭𝗦𝗧 🐾

🐶 Bandit: Mom. Look. Mom. Mama. Mooooom. MOM! LOOK!
🙄 Foster mom: What, Bandit? WHAT?
🐶 Bandit: I've been practicing! OMG! Look! I can make the cutest face for the camera now! Look!
👀 Foster mom
👿 Bandit
🤦‍♀️ Foster mom

Bandit is looking for a snuggle partner of his very own. We can't promise he'll be an Instagram sensation, but he will love his family with all his heart. Bandit would love to find a family looking for a new best friend. He's a silly, fun-loving boy whose only goal in life is to be close to his people.

Brrr - it was pretty chilly this morning! 🥶 Ranger was not a fan. He let his foster mama know by wandering around whining and throwing a fit until she wrapped him in a blanket like a little doggie burrito. 🌯

🌺🐕 ASTRID 🐕🌺

1️⃣ This sweetheart needs a temporary foster 11/23 thru 12/1 while her foster mom is out of town. Please let us know if you'd like to bring a little joy home for a few days.

2️⃣ Astrid's wish list: https://a.co/9p0r8dR
Asrrid could use some toys, puzzles and treats to help keep her busy. If you'd like to help, her wish list items should be shipped to Julie (shipping address option). If you'd like to send/deliver something from somewhere other than Amazon, let us know, and we can get you the eaddress.

🙌 Astrid got some great news at her vet visit! Her foot isn't broken, and she should be able to start putting weight on it after she gets some pain meds and anti-inflammatory meds. She is heartworm negative (YAY!) but has some hookworms that she's being treated for. 😕
Her foster mama will take her on some walks while encouraging her to use her foot, and she'll head back to the vet after Thanksgiving for a checkup and for a booster shot. If she's still not remembering how to use her foot properly, we'll likely get her in for some physical therapy.
She's a happy, silly girl, and we're so thankful for her foster family. She will need some help learning some commands and being the bestest girl, but she's so smart!

💔🌈 Goodbye for Now, Sweet Boy 🌈💔
In a heartbreaking turn of events, on the same day we are overjoyed about Hazel getting her happily ever after, we are also so incredibly sad to say goodbye to her previous housemate, Hank. 😢
Hank wasn't in great shape when he joined the I Am Dog Rescue family, but we were able to get a very badly needed dental done for him and get him some pain medication. He was feeling much better for a while, as you may have seen with his funny slow zoomies. ❤
However, his health started to decline rapidly over the past few days, and his little senior body just gave out. 🥺 Hank was surrounded by love, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to give him a couple of months of being spoiled, loved, and cherished. He had the very best foster family, and even though she probably doesn't want her picture included here, his foster mama was Hank's biggest fan and is such a blessing to us. 🫶
We hope there are lots of mirrors on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge so Hank can admire himself to his heart's content. Dogspeed, sweet boy. You have a big family waiting for you there. 💞

🥳😍 ADOPTED! 😍🥳
Ohhhh, we LOVE this new life for the lovely Hazel! You might remember Hazel came to us after her owner had her in boarding with a veterinarian and had planned to euthanize her and her furry brother if a new home wasn't found. 🥺
Hazel caught the eye of an incredible couple, and they wanted to foster-to-adopt if she fit well into their home. If she wasn't the right fit, they were committed to ensuring she was safe and loved until the perfect family was found. She did find the perfect family, and she gets to stay right where she is in one of our favorite foster wins! 👏 Hazel hit the jackpot, and we couldn't be more thrilled with this outcome for her. She's going to live her very best life!

🤤🐶 SHOP FOR RILEY 🐶🤤
Buddy Holly has a new name - he now answers to "Riley". He was at Mazie's Mission today, and we are SO EXCITED that he's finally beginning to gain some weight! 🙌 It took nearly two weeks of trial and error with several different foods to find options he liked (in addition to the food his foster family is cooking for him), but he's on his way to looking and feeling so much better. 💙
🤞🤞🤞 We are working to increase his daily calorie intake, and we're reaching out to ask for your help in getting some extra food for this sweetheart.
You can find the kibble on his Amazon Wish List (shipping to Colette, which should be an address option when you check out) or locally at places like Walmart (message us for the delivery address). These are the only two foods needed at this time.

We appreciate your help!

🥳🙌 FREEDOM RIDE! 🙌🥳
Welcome "Astrid" to the I Am Dog Rescue family! Astrid means "Divinely Beautiful". It has double meaning to us - she's gorgeous, and a "divinely beautiful" life is what she deserves.
💔 You see, Astrid has been both shot AND hit by a car. She won't put any weight on her front, right foot, which is knuckling under at this time. She's less than a year old, and even in pain, she just lights up the room with her joyful exuberance.
🚖 After getting her freedom ride out of the shelter, she is settling in wonderfully in her new foster home. She loves the big bed her furry foster siblings are ok sharing with her, and she's even doing her best to snuggle up on the couch this evening. 😍
Astrid will be going to see our friends at Mazie's Mission tomorrow, and we can't wait to see what we can do to help her feel better as quickly as possible. 🤞
Big hugs and a thank you to Astrid's foster mama. She is the reason Astrid is in a nice, quiet home in a soft bed tonight. She made it possible for Astrid to be safe and already surrounded by so much love. 💗
