Dallas: A Rescue's Road to Recovery Let us introduce Dallas to you. He has been a long-time resident of our program, and we want to tell you about his whole story; his rescue, his recovery.

Dallas is four years old, we think. He looks like he has some Labrador in him and probably other breeds. He is a strikingly handsome fellow with a beautiful face, and a soft, silky coat. He is definitely unique with his mix of brindle, white, and spots and a really gorgeous guy! He was found in the Corridor, half-starved, terrified, and with a broken leg. It took a lot of love and coaxing to get h

im to come in because he was so scared. He has been severely traumatized by what has gone on in his life before we were able to rescue him. Initially, he was skittish, cried a lot, exhibited submissive urination, hid from sight and had no trust in people at all. It is heartbreaking to contemplate the horrible things he has gone through that would so break his spirit, and emotionally scar him so badly. A lot of love and patience by his foster family has helped bring him out of his shell and helped him to learn to trust the other members of his pack, canine and human and live a more normal life. But, he has a long, long, way to go. Because of the severity of his separation anxiety Dallas has been referred to a behaviorist who has determined that he has severe generalized anxiety along with separation distress and fear aggression. Due to the diagnosed severity of his condition right now, Dallas is not available for adoption. Instead, thanks to the support of Corridor Rescue, Dallas is beginning therapy and treatment for his issues, while remaining with his current fosters. Corridor Rescue has stated that they are committed to helping Dallas overcome these dreadful lingering effects of his abuse. Please support them when you get the chance. Thank you!!

Our Story

** In October of 2018, Dallas crossed the Rainbow Bridge and got the Angel Wings he deserves. During his time with us, he touched so many lives and so many of you showed your love and support for him. We are sure Dallas knows he was loved by so many. **

Dallas is five years old, we think. He looks like he has some Labrador in him and probably other breeds. He is a strikingly handsome fellow with a beautiful face, and a soft, silky coat. He is definitely unique with his mix of brindle, white, and spots and a really gorgeous guy! He was found in the Corridor, half-starved, terrified, and with a broken leg. It took a lot of love and coaxing to get him to come in because he was so scared. He has been severely traumatized by what has gone on in his life before we were able to rescue him. Initially, he was skittish, cried a lot, exhibited submissive urination, hid from sight, and had no trust in people at all. It is heartbreaking contemplate the horrible things he has gone through that would so break his spirit and emotionally scar him so badly.

A lot of love, and patience by his foster family have helped bring him out of his shell and helped him to learn to trust other dogs, and humans. He seems to get along very well now with his fosters' pack. He has blossomed and is very affectionate and loves to snuggle and give kisses. He can be very playful and joyous and energetic and the difference between when he was first rescued and now is almost impossible to believe. He wants nothing more than to be with his human--once he learns to trust them. That can be something of a problem, however. Because of what he has been through, once he bonds, he can be very needy.

Dallas has separation anxiety sometimes and can be very vocal about it. He is terrified of being abandoned again, and he can be almost inconsolable. He is currently on anti-anxiety medication, and he probably will be on it for the indefinite future, perhaps the rest of his life. He has undergone a lot of special rehabilitative behavioral therapy during the past year, and his behaviorist thinks that he can transition to a forever family in a gradual process. His adopting family will need to understand his special needs and be willing to continue working with the behaviorist in order to assure that Dallas has a smooth transition and becomes a loving and loved member of a new family.
