Wine to the Rescue

Who needs their own Superman puppy!! Meet Lola! Lola was found wandering the streets alone, skinny and scared. Dumped at 5 months old this puppy was lucky when one of our volunteers saw her. She is now completely vetted and ready for her forever family. Lola is now 8/9 months old, 15lbs, loves all dogs big and small, super sweet, potty trained and would do best with a playmate. Please share!

UPDATE:

A wonderful foster for DAS has stepped up and Nellie is loving being off the streets. We also got some great news shes HW negative! New update to follow

Dallas, TX
Immediate foster needed. Approximately 5 years old fully vetted but has skin issues due to severe fleas. This girl is incredibly sweet and dog friendly. If no foster steps up she goes back to DAS. (She was out on foster from DAS since March 2024.) The foster has been unresponsive to DAS and regardless due to the condition she was found in she will not go back there.) DAS will take back once intake is back open and i’m praying this village steps up first so she never sees a shelter again Who can be a hero today?? Meet Nellie! Please share!

Our Director and Board member who has been a constant advocate for fostering and adopting seniors had to say goodbye to one of our original hospice dogs sweet 🐦 Birdie. While Birdie easily could have stayed under our rescue Jennifer Alicia wanted to fully adopt her which was absolutely the perfect match. Thank you Jennifer for all you do to save seniors (and all animals).

Adopting a senior dog is like finding a hidden treasure—a gem with a lifetime of love and stories waiting to be shared. When you adopt a senior dog, you're not just giving them a home…you're becoming part of their happy-ever-after.

The Story of Birdie
In April of 2021 someone in OC reported a stray dog on their front porch and said they can’t help her. I agreed to go try and catch her and Wine to the Rescue agreed to get her up to date with medical and we would get her adopted. There was no need to “catch” her as she ran right up to me and sat in my lap. She was covered in fleas (worst I have ever seen) and cancerous tumors all over her tummy, her female bits were protruding outwards and her back legs were so weak she could barely stand. Most likely kept in a cage, used for breeding and dumped. Long story short we got her tumors removed, got her spayed, fleas gone, and up to date on vaccinations. She then had an episode that led us to believe that most likely she had a brain tumor. At that moment I decided she would live her life, however long or short it may be with me, always being spoiled and surrounded by love. She did just that for the last 4 years. Today we said goodbye to Birdie, I held her in my arms and kissed her as she went to sleep. She was in end stage kidney disease and developed pancreatitis. Unfortunately, her numbers did not even register as they were so far off the charts. She had stopped eating and was in a lot of pain. I am so grateful this little shadow of mine, who always stared at me with the most dreamy eyes and unfortunate teeth, was my little Birdie-girl🐦 What Birdie can teach us is that even the senior dogs have lots of life left to live and even the sickest of dogs have lots of love left to give, all we can do is give them a chance.

We love you so much sweet Birdie give kisses to the rest of the crew over across that rainbow bridge, I know they were all waiting for you with wagging tails. 🌈💔
