🚨🆘 DIEGO NEEDS PLACEMENT BY 9/8 AT 11:00 AM CST — HE WILL BE KILLED IF NO ONE STEPS FORWARD.

Diego is a 2-year-old, 61-lb unaltered male at Dallas Animal Services. His ID is D051297623. He is heartworm negative. He was found as a stray on Hampton Rd in Dallas.

Diego is timid. He is scared. He is still building confidence and learning that new people and experiences can be safe. Around other dogs, he keeps to himself and may shy away when approached. He prefers gentle interactions at his own pace.

The shelter has labeled him as aggressive during exams. But look closer: whale eyes, stiff posture, growling when approached with a catch pole. That is not aggression. That is fear. Diego is terrified. He is overwhelmed. He is shutting down in a loud, chaotic environment where he has no safe place to decompress.

DIEGO IS NOT A BAD DOG. HE IS A SCARED DOG.

He needs a patient, understanding home that can give him the time and space he needs to settle in. He needs someone who sees past the growl and recognizes a dog who is asking for help the only way he knows how.

WHAT DIEGO NEEDS:

🏡 An experienced foster who understands fearful dogs
🐾 A rescue willing to pull him and give him time
❤️ An adopter who will let him decompress at his own pace
💰 Pledges to help cover his care and make him more appealing to rescues

HOW YOU CAN HELP RIGHT NOW:

👉 COMMENT "DIEGO" if you can foster, adopt, or pull him through a rescue. We will connect you with the right people immediately.

💰 PLEDGE ANY AMOUNT. Comment "$25 for Diego" or "$50 for Diego" — whatever you can commit. Pledges are promises to donate to the rescue that pulls him. No money is collected until a rescue is secured. Your pledge gives rescues the confidence to say yes before his deadline.

📢 SHARE THIS REEL EVERYWHERE. Share it in Dallas and Fort Worth rescue groups. Share it in Texas groups. Share it nationally. Tag every rescue, foster, and advocate you know.

🔁 TAG RESCUES DIRECTLY. If you know a rescue that works with fearful dogs, tag them in the comments. If you know an experienced foster in DFW, tag them.

⏰ DEADLINE: 9/8 AT 11:00 AM CST.

Diego doesn't need to die because he's scared. He needs someone to show him that humans can be patient. That humans can be kind. That humans can be safe.

Please don't scroll past him. Comment. Pledge. Share. Tag. Do something.

🚨🆘 EUTHANASIA SCHEDULED — TISH NEEDS OUT NOW.

Tish is a 3-year-old, 40-lb girl at Dallas Animal Services. Her ID is D051295322. She is terrified in the shelter. She cowers in the back of her kennel, keeps her tail tucked, avoids handling, and becomes overwhelmed when staff try to leash her.

She is currently dealing with nasal discharge and receiving medication, but what she needs most is a safe place to decompress and continue receiving care.

Tish is not a bad dog. She is a shut-down, fearful dog who has lost trust. She needs someone patient. Someone experienced. Someone willing to show her that humans can be kind.

The shelter is too loud. Too stressful. Too much. And now she is scheduled for euthanasia.

TISH NEEDS:
🏡 An experienced foster
🐾 A rescue willing to pull her
❤️ An adopter who understands fearful dogs
💰 Pledges to help cover her medical and behavioral care

HOW YOU CAN HELP RIGHT NOW:

👉 COMMENT "TISH" if you can foster, adopt, or pull her through a rescue. We will connect you with the right people immediately.

💰 PLEDGE ANY AMOUNT. Comment "$25 for Tish" or "$50 for Tish" — whatever you can commit. Pledges are promises to donate to the rescue that pulls her. No money is collected until a rescue is secured. Your pledge gives rescues the confidence to say yes before it is too late.

TISH IS OUT OF TIME.

She doesn't need pity. She needs someone to say yes. She needs someone to see past the fear and recognize the dog she could become outside those kennel walls.
