Adult · Male · Rottweiler / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Mansfield

URGENT! FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED! ❤️

Meet Zeus, a handsome 18-month-old Labrador/Rottweiler mix who is desperately hoping for a second chance.

Zeus ended up at the shelter because his young owner was unable to care for him. Now, this sweet boy is heartbroken. @

Zeus cries nonstop in his kennel, confused about why he is there and longing for someone to love him again.

But outside his kennel, Zeus shows what a wonderful dog he truly is!

Only 18 months old — still a young, playful boy!

Very dog-friendly! He loves playing with other dogs.

Loves to play fetch! He’s always ready for some fun.

❤️ Affectionate and loving! Zeus craves human attention and just wants to feel loved.

Zeus doesn’t deserve to spend his days crying behind kennel bars. He deserves a home, a soft bed, toys, and a family who will never give up on him.

Trinity Gap Rescue will pull Zeus from the shelter with a committed foster!

2. Roxy

Adult (8 years 11 months) · Female · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 24 mi from Mansfield

Meet this precious girl ROXY!! At 9 years young, she has so much love left to give. She’s a gentle, sweet soul who is a little afraid of the big world around her. In fact, she’s so timid that even her own shadow can be a little scary!

But here’s the beautiful thing about her… with a little patience, kindness, and love, she’s beginning to blossom!

She has been in foster care for about three weeks, and every day she’s showing a little more of her personality. She’s even starting to come out of her shell and initiate play with my dogs! Watching her confidence grow has been such a joy.

✨ A few things to love about her:

Potty trained

Crate trained

Dog friendly

Cat friendly

Very sweet and gentle

Starting to enjoy playtime with other dogs

She will need a patient, loving home that understands she may take a little time to feel comfortable. She isn’t the dog who will run up and greet everyone right away. She’s the girl who needs someone to earn her trust, give her reassurance, and let her blossom at her own pace.

But imagine being the person who finally shows her that she’s safe, loved, and HOME. ❤️

Roxy just needs someone willing to give her that chance.

Could you be her happily ever after?

Application available at https://www.pawsofloverescue.com/adoption-application. Adoption fee of $295 includes neuter/spay, microchip, heartworm testing, deworming, vaccinations, and other necessary procedures. Applications without a phone number will not be processed.

14. Jason

Young (8 months) · Male · Great Pyrenees (medium coat) · 17 mi from Mansfield

Jason is kind of a special case.

He's been living in a cramped back yard with SIX other great pyrs.

As you can imagine, quarters are tight and these dogs don't get much individual attention. It's not a healthy situation for these dogs. But, Jason is young and while he's very shy and in need of a kind soul to help build his confidence, he's also super sweet and gentle.

Jason is getting accustomed to some of the regulars of being a dog, like learning how to walk on a leash, so he has a lot to learn, but he likes to please

All he needs is a little investment from you - he'll pay you back in spades!

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.

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?

Adopting a dog with children in Mansfield

Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.

Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
