Co-foster needed!! (Share the responsibility of fostering)

Hello world, I’m Onyx! My foster mom rescued me from Dallas Animal Services, where I was getting very sick, and they told her my “time was up”, whatever that means. (She says that all humans would know.)

My foster mom took me to the doctor so that I could get better. It wasn’t scary at all. The doctor was so nice and said I was such a good boy. I started feeling so much better, and every day, I showed her how much I appreciated getting out of that scary shelter and having a warm and comfy bed, really good food, a yard to play in, and lots of love. I never even once messed up in the house. I figured out really fast that she has this cool door where I can go in and out whenever I want.

She named me Onyx because she grew up in Mexico City and says that the colors of my coat remind her of the onyx chess set she used to have. Since I was very sick when she brought me home, I didn’t feel much like playing, so she had no idea how much energy I have when I feel good! She says she wishes she could bottle my energy, sell it, and then she could make a million dollars and help so many more of my friends at the shelter!

She thinks maybe she should have named me Mr. Wiggles or Velcro since I LOVE being anywhere with her! I also love playing with other dogs. There are other dogs here, but they are very old and don’t like to play much; they mostly sleep all day, which is a bummer.

I got to go to a doggy boot camp where I learned to walk on a leash, sit, and come when called. That was so easy because I love being with nice people. They put this collar on me that gives me a little beep to get my attention in case I get distracted and to stop me from doing anything they don’t like. (I get very excited to see humans and like to jump up for joy, but the guy at the camp says that’s a no-no.) I got to play with other dogs there. They had this huge yard in the country where I could run and run and run. The guy at the boot camp says something about me having the “zoomies”. He said I am very smart and learn fast.

I go into my comfy crate, which I’m used to doing. I’m super affectionate and love my cuddles and belly rubs. My foster mom takes me to the park by her house where I get to adventure and explore; it’s so much fun!! I get to see other dogs and want to play so badly, but I have to be on a leash, so I can’t. When other dogs aren’t around, she lets me run around with my special collar, and all she has to do is give me a little beep, and I’m right back by her side. Pretty cool.

I love it here, but my foster mom has told me that her goal was to save me, get me well, and learn some manners to find me my furever home so she can do it again for another shelter friend. I understand and hope that my furever home has a buddy and yard for me to play with and/or a human that loves to exercise a lot and take me with!

My foster mom says I have a lot of energy and curiosity and puts me in her special dog room where I can go outside on my own or get in my crate. I get bored when no one is around to be with, and I can get into things that I’m not supposed to. I’m not sure why; I’m just trying to entertain myself!

Although I’m sad to have to leave my foster mom, I hope that telling you a little about myself will help me find my furever home with you.

Woof, woof!

Onyx

🚨 Please SHARE to help Polo find his forever home! Every share brings him closer to his family! 🐾❤️

🐾 Meet Polo – Your New Best Friend! 🐾

Looking for a loyal, loving, and playful companion? Look no further – Polo is ready to steal your heart! ❤️

This 5-year-old Hound mix weighs in at a sturdy 78 lbs of pure love and energy. Polo hasn’t met a stranger—he’s super friendly, curious, and loves making new friends (both human and canine!). He’s fantastic with children of all ages and would be over the moon to have a doggy sibling to play with. 🐶👧👦

Polo is currently in a foster home that absolutely adores him! His foster family says he is amazing with their 3-year-old daughter and their two small Dachshunds. Unfortunately, with baby #2 on the way and limited yard space, they aren’t able to give Polo the forever home he deserves. They know he’s ready to bring joy and love to his future family! 💙🏡

Polo thrives with an active family and needs a large fenced backyard to let his zoomies run wild! 🏃‍♂️💨 Dedicated playtime or daily walks are a must to keep this big, sweet boy happy. He’s playful, strong, and could use some basic training to polish his doggie manners—but with his eagerness to please, he’ll be a star pupil. 🌟🐾

Polo has been in foster care for over a year, patiently waiting for his forever home. Let’s not keep him waiting any longer! He’s ready to shower his new family with tail wags, cuddles, and endless love. 🥰

🐕 A calm, confident dog sibling to help her feel safe and secure (Bonnie will thrive in a home with another dog.)
👶 A peaceful, child-free home (no small children) where she can relax without stress
💛 A compassionate person who works from home or is around most days

🐾 Why Bonnie Needs You:

My Dear Human,
I see that you are crying, for it is my moment to leave. Don't cry, please. I want to explain some things to you.
You're sad because I left, but I'm glad I met you.
How many dogs and cats and birds like me die daily without meeting someone special like you?
I know it saddens you my departure, but I had to go now.
I want to ask you not to blame yourself for anything. I heard you sobbing that you should have done something else for me. Don't say that, you've done a lot for me! Without you I would have known nothing of the beauty I carry with me today.
You must know that we animals live the present intensely and we are very wise: we enjoy every little thing every day, and forget the bad past quickly.
Our lives begin when we know love, the same love you gave me, my angel without wings and two legs.
Know that even if you find an animal that is seriously injured, and that you only have a little bit of time in this world, you provide a huge service by accompanying you in your final transition.
None of us likes to be alone, except when we realize it's time to leave.
Maybe for you it's not so important that one of you is next to us caressing us and holding our paw, helps us go in peace.
No more crying, please. I'll be happy. I have in memory the name you gave me, the warmth of your house that in this time became mine. I take the sound of your voice talking to me, even though I don't always understand what you were saying to me.
I carry in my heart every caress you gave me.
Everything you did was very valuable to me and I thank you endlessly, I don't know how to tell you, because I don't speak your language, but surely in my eyes you could see my gratitude.
I'm just gonna ask for two favors. Wash your face and start smiling.
Remember how good we live together these moments, remember the antics I made to cheer you up.
Relive like me all the good we share in this time.
And do not say you will not adopt another animal, because you have suffered a lot from my departure. Without you I would not live the beauties I lived.
Please don't do this! There are many like me waiting for someone like you.
Give them what you gave me, please, they need it just like I needed you.
Don't keep the love you have to give, for fear of suffering.
Follow my advice, cherish the good you share with each of us, recognizing that you are an angel to us animals, and that without people like you our life would be harder than sometimes it is.
Follow your noble task, now it's up to me to be your angel.
I will accompany you in your path and help you help others like me.
I will talk to other animals who are here with me, I will tell you everything you have done for me and I will point and say proudly: “that's my family.”
Tonight, when you look at the sky and see a blinking star I want you to know that it's me flashing an eye; warning you that I arrived well and telling you "thank you for the love you gave me".
I say goodbye now not saying "goodbye", but "see you later.”
There is a special sky for people like you, the sky where we go and life rewards us by making us meet there.
I'll be waiting for you!"

Look at this beauty❣Mina is gorgeous and has the most uniquely marbled coat. She requests your SHARES because she needs a forever home!! She is fully vetted and the Good Samaritans that rescued her off the streets before Christmas are moving. Their house is now on the market. Let's finish this rescue and find this girl the loyal, caring home she deserves! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/mina-74950548/tx/dallas/league-of-animal-protectors-tx1617/

Mina, fka Meena , was found on Christmas Eve running the streets just east of Dallas. She had been abandoned by her family with a note around her neck( see post). She was in heat and scared. A kind Samaritan coaxed her off the street and took her to a veterinarian. They reached out to us and we helped her get into to see our veterinary team asap. Mina is now spayed and up to date on shots. She is a year old and a shepherd/ heeler mix. We had to prevent further unwanted doggies, but now she needs an adopter asap. She needs a family as the good Samaritan's home is being sold and they are moving.
Rescue organizations can't help without adopters or foster homes and the animals are suffering without these. If you would like to help Mina, reach out asap and please fill out an application here. https://www.laprescue.org/adoption-app-.html
