5. Mila

Puppy (3 months 1 day) · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (medium coat) · 10 mi from Fort Worth

Meet Mila! A Little Survivor with a BIG Future!

Mila’s story started in the most heartbreaking way. At just 2 weeks old, this sweet German Shepherd mix puppy was dumped in a box in rural South Texas in August, when temperatures are absolutely scorching. These tiny babies were helpless and far too young to survive on their own, but thankfully, someone found them just in time and took them home to foster until our rescue could step in.

Thanks to that amazing act of kindness, Mila and her siblings got their chance to live! ❤️ They were bottle-fed around the clock, lovingly transitioned to puppy gruel, and are now 8 weeks old, thriving, chubby, healthy, and full of puppy goodness!

And the best part? Their foster mom says these are the BEST foster puppies she has ever had! They are incredibly social, playful, smart, and soaking up everything the world has to offer. Mila is growing into a happy little girl who is ready to take her next big step toward a forever family.

These babies have come so far in such a short time, and we want their next chapter to be just as wonderful as their rescue story deserves. We are looking for foster homes and foster-to-adopt homes to help Mila and her siblings continue to grow and prepare for their forever families.

Could you be the safe landing place this little girl needs? Whether you can open your home temporarily or think Mila might be your future best friend, you could make all the difference in her world.

From a tiny box in the South Texas heat to a future full of love, Mila is proof that a little kindness can change a life. Now let’s find this precious girl the happy ending she deserves!

10. Dorothy

Female · Boston Terrier · 22 mi from Fort Worth

Dorothy, our Golden Girl, is a complete sweetheart! She was originally found in a drainage ditch in Ft. Smith, AR, and when no owner came forward to claim her, she joined our Foster Gang in Texas.

Dorothy is an older lady, and as such, her sight and hearing are not 100%, but she is full of life and has a terrific attitude - unless you try to wipe her face, which is NOT her favorite thing, and she'll let you know it.

Read more about Dorothy

Her initial vetting has been taken care of, but she's still got some things that need to be taken care of, so she isn't available for adoption right this minute. We will, however, be accepting applications so she will hopefully have a home ready and waiting for her after she's completely cleared by the vet for adoption.

Dorothy is available for our Seniors for Seniors adoption program.

More to come soon...

Meet Dobby!1 yes old

Dobby is a young Terrier mix with an incredible story of resilience. At just four months old, he was thrown from a moving car on an Oklahoma highway. It was uncertain whether he would survive, but Dobby proved just how strong and determined he is. Today, he’s healthy, happy, and ready to find the forever family he deserves.

This fun-loving boy has plenty of energy and would thrive in a home with a yard and a family that will keep both his body and mind engaged. Whether it’s hiking, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or going on adventures, Dobby is always ready to join in.

Read more about Dobby

Dobby is wonderfully social and gets along well with other dogs—and even cats! He’s playful, affectionate, and always up for a game, but when the excitement winds down, he’s just as happy to curl up next to his favorite people for cuddles.

Dobby is a happy, loving companion who is eager to please and full of personality.

After everything he’s overcome, Dobby is ready for the happy ending he’s been waiting for. Could your home be the one he’s been dreaming of?

12. Rosie

Senior · Female · Shepherd / Mixed (short coat) · 16 mi from Fort Worth

❤️ MEET ROSIE — 14 MONTHS OF WAITING… NOW SHE NEEDS HER FOREVER HOME ❤️
Rosie’s life has not been easy.
Her family left her at a shelter, and for 14 long months, Rosie waited behind those kennel doors. Day after day, people walked past her. More than a year went by, and nobody gave her a chance.
Finally, Trinity Gap Rescue said, “Enough.” Rosie was pulled from the shelter and is now safe in a foster home. ❤️
But foster care is only the beginning of her new life. Rosie still needs a family of her very own.
Rosie is 7 years old, about 50 pounds, fully vetted, spayed and a Shepherd mix.
She is an incredibly sweet girl who craves human love and attention.

Read more about Rosie

After spending so much time alone in a kennel, she just wants to be close to her people. ❤️
And guess what? Rosie LOVES CATS!
For now, we believe Rosie would be happiest as the only dog in the home, giving her the time and space she needs to fully decompress and finally understand that she is safe.
Rosie has a wonderfully calm, chill demeanor and can be left alone in the house. She could be a great fit for either a house or an apartment.
Rosie has already lost more than a year of her life waiting behind bars. We cannot let her spend the rest of her life waiting for someone to choose her.
Could you be Rosie’s second chance?
If you are interested in adopting Rosie or would like to learn more about her, please email:

13. Coco

3 Years · Female · Boston Terrier · 22 mi from Fort Worth

Coco is a beautiful Boston Terrier (possibly a mix) with a loving heart and a zest for life that's impossible to resist. At approximately 3 years old, she's the perfect blend of playful energy and affectionate cuddles.

Coco's story began with heartbreak. After her beloved owner suddenly passed away, she was surrendered to a high-kill shelter by family members who didn't keep her. Through no fault of her own, Coco found herself scared, confused, and in danger of losing everything she had ever known.

Thankfully, American Boston Terrier Rescue & Rehabilitation stepped in to give her a second chance.

Read more about Coco

Since coming into rescue, Coco has been spayed and has absolutely flourished in her foster home near Austin, Texas. With love, stability, and a safe place to land, her true personality has emerged, and what a wonderful girl she is!

Coco adores people and gets along great with other dogs. She's happiest when she's chasing a ball, working on a favorite Nylabone, or snuggling up next to her humans for some quality cuddle time. Whether you're looking for a walking buddy, a playmate, or a couch companion, Coco is happy to fill the role.

She has no known special needs and is simply looking for what every dog deserves: a family who will love her forever.

After losing the person she loved most, Coco has shown incredible resilience and grace. Now she's ready to write her happy ending with a family who will treasure her for the amazing dog she is.

Could Coco be the missing piece of your family? Apply today and give this sweet girl the forever home she deserves!

14. Dallas

8 Years 8 Months · Male · Boston Terrier · 22 mi from Fort Worth

Dallas is a red and white older gentleman who is very low-key and gets along with everyone. He is both blind and mostly deaf, and he loves his naps and gentle tummy rubs. While he does have sight and hearing impairments, he's a healthy guy who would love a soft bed to snooze on and a dependable routine, so he knows when to expect his meals. More info coming soon!

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
