Welcome to A Different Breed’s website! We are a 501c3 animal rescue organization that primarily rescues dogs from the DFW area ‘kill’ shelters,along with taking in dogs from puppy mill raids and accepting breeder releases. We have a passion for rehabilitating the animals in our care,both physically and emotionally,and then finding them their perfect forever homes. Our rescue group cares for dogs in individual foster homes,as well as at our dog sanctuary. We are always looking for more volunteers and foster homes to help with our mission of saving as many dogs as possible. Please look around on our website at the dogs and cats that are available for adoption,a few of the ‘happy tail’ stories,volunteer/foster opportunities,ways to help the rescue group in the form of product or monetary donations and shopping opportunities where certain Retailers pay us commissions for goods purchased by launching from our website. Please contact us with any feedback or questions and thank you in advance for your support of our community’s rescue animals!

*Sonia’s story: 

Sonia

Sonia belonged to a couple that could no longer care for her and the dog had no place to go.  She is obedience and house trained and when the apartment of her new owners was broken into,Sonia jumped the burglar and held him down with her paw on his throat until the police got there.  The remarkable thing is that she did not leave a mark on the man’s throat but held him at bay. On a separate incident,a man in the parking lot was about to hit a little boy that was not related to him,and she jumped in and kept the man from hitting the child.  The man in question was escorted out of the premises by security. She now helps the manager of the apartment complex to sniff out drugs.

 Toby

Toby came to A Different Breed in a round about way. He was purchased from a breeder by a family that loved him dearly,but unfortunately Toby managed to find an exposed electric cord and bit through it,causing a great deal of damage to his mouth. His lips,cheeks,and tongue were severely burned,requiring multiple surgeries to repair the damage.  The family choose not to spend additional funds and chose instead to release the dog to a volunteer.  The volunteer searched and found Veterinarians Dental A.S.  and they stepped up and offered their services to us at a greatly discounted price.  They have performed three surgeries so far,and along with hospital care they have been absolute angels.  They have allowed us to pay as we can on the surgeries already done. Possibly additional surgeries will be required for the next 6 months.
