Dallas Australian Shepherd and Herding Dog Rescue

What was once a group of neighbors who shared a passion for our dogs and socializing with them and one another -- DASH -- is now an official non-profit organization sponsored by a private foundation and the generous donations of friends, family, previous adoption clients and Dallas-area dog-lovers who share a mission: to help us find a home for every lost, neglected, abused or abandoned dog.

APPLICATION REQUIRED from www.dashdog.org  Adoption Fee $450 - the fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE and is not specific for any dog or puppy; it goes to the expenses of the organization as a whole* OUR APPLICATION IS ON www.dashdog.org and must be completed in order to set up a meeting. Our listed dogs ARE READY IMMEDIATELY; we only meet with families WHO ARE READY TO ADOPT! IF YOU APPLY and if WE APPROVE YOU it means we are assuming when you meet any of our dogs and fall in love you're ready to ADOPT AND HIM OR HER HOME!   Little Dusty was a last-minute life-save and DASH is so happy to have helped him! Several volunteers from Ft Worth Animal Care really teamed up so this ADORABLE basenji mix has a foster! He and Pixie look Basenji and are both petite and sleek. When I was trying to determine a possible hybrid I was shocked but happy to learn about: The BaSheltie! Several sites had twins of Dusty! Dusty has been in a great foster home since his rescue. He’s awaiting a neuter appt this week but we have that covered! He is healthy, happy and hopeful to get a HOME! His foster family says he is “super dog friendly.” He is potty-trained and crate-trainer although he doesn’t love the crate. Dusty had mild separation anxiety at first which is normal; it’s much better when he is with his foster-fur friends so we hope to find a home with 1-2 playful young dogs. Dusty loves human attention and cannot get enough so expect a cuddly companion. He’s a balanced, bright and solid pet dog so wherever he was before that’s the past. Are you his future? If Dusty sounds like a match for you and your family please complete our application on the website below, then TEXT: Sara: 214-549-9905 So I can check your app! www.dashdog.org General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities. We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.

Adoption Process
Potential adopter must fill out extensive application. We then coordinate a time to meet them with the dog they'd like to see. They sign a contract and the fee for our dogs is $450.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
