Rogers Wildlife facing closure, donate and DFW Wildlife will match your donation up to $1,500

Message from DFW Wildlife regarding Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation Center:

Rogers Wildlife may have to close! We can't let that happen! Rogers Wildlife takes in 5,000+ injured, orphaned and ill birds each year in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metroplex area.  They are asking for the communities support right now to ensure they can continue their good work in 2015. We do not want them to have to close their doors to injured birds.  We depend on Rogers Wildlife to take in over 5,000 bird calls we receive on our DFW Wildlife Coalition volunteer-operated hotline each year.  We want the birds of the North Texas area to have this option - rather than going to Animal Control to be euthanized.  For every donation made we will double it - up to the first $1,500.  Please give as generously as you can, and share, share, share! Our Texas birds need our help. 

Please use this link.  All donations will be provided to Rogers Wildlife.  YouCaring does not charge any fees.  The only fee taken from your donation will be the 2.9% charged for the credit/debit card transaction.  Your donation is doubled!

Pregnant dog in downtown Dallas needs rescue ASAP



Pregnant female (likely lab/pit/shepherd) south of downtown Dallas. Nice lady sees her at gas stations, going up to people, wanting food. She has been giving her dog food and other people give her food from Taco Stands.  Spoke with surrounding businesses and they say the same thing.  Dog floats around the general area. She is EXTREMELY sweet and looks like 2 1/2 to 3 weeks away from pups being born. Found out she had 2 previous litters (back to back) that they know about and now pregnant again.  Two men we spoke with say they want her puppies.   
A foster home is needed for this precious girl so her and pups will be safe.  If a foster is available the rescuer can easily get the dog and deliver her - vet or foster home, no matter where it is. She is seriously one of the sweetest dogs ever!  She deserves a better life than this and does not deserve to go to DAS and possibly be killed.  Her babies wont survive there.  Please help!

Rescuer does NOT want DAS to pick her up to possibly be killed, she has befriended the dog and is hoping a rescue group will help her.  She said the dog is really friendly and you can see her sweetness as she is being pet in the photo attached.  For more info, email Robin at richierobin@sbcglobal.net.

Bonnie: Sweet 7 mo Smooth Collie at DAS A846624


Bonnie is at Dallas Animal Services, her number is A846624, she is a Collie Smooth and she is 7 months old. She is an adoption return, the reason for her return was because she was being a little bullied buy their other dogs. She is in adoption but she is not doing to good in adoption kennels. She can be barky but it’s all for attention. She is sweet and submissive and the barking stops as soon as she gets some attention. Bonnie needs to be given another chance to be placed in a home. She is heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed and vaccinated.

Contact DASrescue@dallascityhall.com for more information on Bonnie.

Teddy: 12yr old Malti Poo needs home/foster




Please contact Alexis Cole alexis293c@yahoo.com

Teddy a 12 yr old malti poo in need of permanent home and/or foster till a forever home can be found for him.

He was rescued from a family that had him since a puppy and was going to put him down because they were too busy for him and traveled a lot and he really needs to be with his people, and the foster parent cannot keep much longer.

He just turned 12yr old, never neutered. He is UTD on Vx, and on monthly heartworm preventative. Other than missing some teeth, he is in good health. He is house trained, good on harness/leash, he doesn't get into anything- the foster leaves him free in my apartment and he just curls up on chair or bed. very friendly-good with kids, and other dogs even big dogs.

He does have some separation anxiety esp. left for longer periods of time and he will display that by barking,licking alot. Otherwise he is very sweet, cuddly, and still has lots energy.

He probably needs home with other pets, or someone who has calmer schedule someone that can be around more to give him attention he needs and deserves. He is so very precious. I have attached some pics. I recently had him groomed so some are how I got him and some are from his recent cut. Any help is appreciated,

Thanks and God bless,

Please contact Alexis Cole alexis293c@yahoo.com
