    I have adopted 2 wonderful dogs from this group at different times. The group does their best to…read moreensure all adoptees are the right fit for their new homes. Before the adoption there is an application & home check. In both cases of adoption the foster mothers checked in with me several times to ask if the transition was working out & were available for any questions I might have. I would recommend a rescue group like this - (especially if you are not experienced with dogs straight out of the shelter), as they are experienced with socializing the dogs and have a supportive medical network for needs that might need to be addressed when the dog leaves the city shelter. Before I adopted these 2 I had several Tzus from breeders over the years. I mentioned to Missy, a foster mother, that "I wish I knew more background, etc". She said "Don't worry, these dogs are just happy to be alive & with someone who cares". I thought "yeah, right", but she was absolutely correct, they have both been a total joy in our lives.

    My...Oh...My. I'm not even sure where to begin with these guys. I completed an application on their…read morewebsite on Friday, January the 29th, then attended the adoption event at the Euless PetSmart the very next day - Saturday the 30th. My girlfriend and I walked into the store, followed the signage, and turned left about halfway into the store. There, we were immediately judged from two overly fastidious and persnickety (older) women. It was the "tattoos" or the "bold hairstyle" where references were made, and southern judgmental-ism rested. Looking beyond their poor approach, we introduced ourselves, and the ringleader of the troupe came forward to exclaim, "I know who you are. I looked you up online. You have a well-paying job but have no place owning a dog. We don't allow anyone to to adopt that works more than as much as you do!" Stunned at the complete lack of sanity, sheer ignorance and irrevocable (lofty) expectations, I replied, "Well, my family has owned eleven dogs since I was four, and all of them have had wonderful lives. My parents worked normal jobs (six to eight hours) like 95% of the population in the United States, and those dogs never had any issues being alone." A retort bounced back, "You're just not ideal for owning a dog. Good luck to you." Completely flabbergasted, my girlfriend and I walked away. It was definitely for the best that we did not adopt from them... I wound up rescuing a purebred Beagle from Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. The owner, Lisa, conveyed some troubling information about the lady we dealt with at DFW Tzus and how their organization is conducted. Even further concerning, the manager of the PetSmart shared his observations with me, to the tune of "their adoption expectations are elitist and close-minded. That's not what adopting is about, and not what our store stands for." Interestingly, DFW Rescue Me is the exact opposite of DFW Tzus as far as their inner-workings and dedication to finding forever homes for animals. Racism exists not purely and solely in the form of what most people think: skin color. But, more so in the fact that certain styles (fashion) or even lifestyles signify a tattered, sometimes criminal life. I am happy to report that my girlfriend and I both have advanced degrees, excellent careers, strong family ties, and surprisingly Conservative views. Appearances usually are deceiving, and there is no place for judgmental minds or racism in our world any longer.

    I would strongly caution anyone considering completing community service or volunteering with this…read moreorganization to think twice before committing their time. My experience started off positively--I was welcomed without issue and began completing my assigned hours. At no point during my time there was I informed of any concerns, misconduct, or violations. However, without any warning, explanation, or justification, I was suddenly told not to return. When I asked for clarification, the only response I received from management was: "we reserve the right to allow or deny someone to work with us." No further explanation was provided, and no opportunity was given to address or correct any alleged issue--because there wasn't one. This kind of treatment is not only unprofessional, but also deeply unfair. Individuals completing community service are often doing so under strict deadlines and requirements, and to be dismissed without cause can have serious consequences. The complete lack of communication and transparency from management raises serious concerns about how decisions are made within this organization. Based on my experience, there appears to be a disregard for fairness and accountability, and decisions may be influenced by factors that have nothing to do with a person's actual performance or behavior. That is extremely concerning. I will be formally escalating this matter, but in the meantime, I feel it is important to share my experience so others are aware. No one should risk investing their time and effort into an organization that can arbitrarily decide to dismiss them without cause or explanation. Proceed with caution.

The woman with the black hair in the front, Katie if she comes off a certain way it's because she protecting the animals as you woul do the same. This facility is very clean and 100% trusted. The cats and dogs are under the best care and need a lot of it so some patience when handling an adoption would be greatly appreciated :) xx

I…read morewas told they had to verify the application information, come see the home, meet our other dog... I got a call stating she was mine, so we set that up for Tuesday at which time they did the home inspection. I was so appreciative that they were willing to vet the families to make sure the right people are adopting their dogs. I love my dog and she is by my side even still. She has gotten me through many things with her love and devotion. She is my best friend and I am her best human. Thank you, Homeward Bound!

    Today I received some disturbing news regarding a adoption with Homeward Bound Animal Rescue, my…read morefamily member filled out an application for a pet adoption on Saturday received a message from Jud on Monday advising that they were approved for the dog. Of course this was great news as this dog was a early Christmas present for a 6 year old little girl. Jud advised that he would bring the dog out on Tuesday for delivery. Jud and the dog arrive and Jud advises that he has to do a home inspection, as he is doing his home inspection he states that he allowed the dog to sleep with he and his wife and discussed the interaction with the dog and his family. It seems as if Jud and his family were pretty attached to the dog. Well upon inspection of the back yard, Jud makes comments about the family pool and the potential of the dog drowning then he goes on to discuss some holes in the fence. As Jud is doing his inspection the dog and the child are bonding. The dog is enjoying his play time with the child and of course the child is loving on her new dog. Well at this point Jud states that I cant leave the dog because of the holes in the fence. Well of course this upsets the child because she understand that the dog that she was told would be hers has been taken away that quickly. Now, I clearly understand that Jud's concern is the dog, he was advised that the dog would be kept in the house and would not be in the back yard. Jud states that he could not look his wife in the eye and say he left the dog in a safe location with the fence having holes where the dog could get out. Jud advises after the fence is repaired then maybe the adoption can be considered. Well Jud did not leave it at that, he later decides to send a text message stating that he suggests the family search several local shelters for their dog, providing names of other shelters and mentioned that they have quick adoption processes. In the future I would suggest doing your home inspection prior to telling someone they are approved to make sure their home suits the qualification that are not listed on your application. Secondly, Jud your text message was very rude and unprofessional. I suggest you seek some training in communication if you are going to represent this organization.

Found this vet 2 days after we moved here as our Doberman had a leg injury due to the move. Initial appointment as well as all others have been top notch. The staff have always got us scheduled ASAP. When we have emergencies they see us immediately. Dr. Risley is the best vet we've ever had and he is very good with our dogs. We had to put down our 12 year old Schnauzer last year. The ladies and Dr. Risley made an extremely heartbreaking process a bit easier. All of the office staff is amazing. When you have 3 dogs you have frequent visits to the vet. All of the staff are loving and our dogs love them...even if they are getting shots. Lol! We have had all different procedures and surgeries and have boarded our pups here on numerous times. Dr. Risley has never recommended a procedure that isn't necessary. We've had vets that you feel like you are walking into Jiffy Lube and being solicited a bunch of ridiculous tests and procedures. Dr. Risley understands that our dogs are our family members but we don't won't to extend their lives past what is best for them or break the bank. If you are looking for a wonderful place for your pet then this is the place.
