Recently funded rescues

On this page we feature Dalmatians that DCAF has recently helped fund costs related to their rescue, rehabilitation, and placement. We are so grateful to the Dalmatian rescue organizations around the country who devote their time and care to helping these dogs in need through no fault of their own. There are special places in heaven for these folks and DCAF is happy to be able to support them financially.

Dalmatian Rescue of North TX

Sammie’s Story

Sammie was surrendered, along with more than 50 other dogs, by an elderly couple operating a backyard puppy mill. Multiple rescue organizations were involved in helping. Sammie was a special case because she was pregnant. Dalmatian Rescue of North Texas found a wonderful foster home for Sammie where she could whelp and raise her ELEVEN puppies! All the puppies and Sammie are now in forever homes that love them dearly!

Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado

Gracie’s Story

Gracie was seized from the roommate of the owner who abandoned her.  The roommate let her starve.  When surrendered she weighed only 37 lbs.  Gracie also had a history of seizures and had missed 6 months of medications. 

After an ER visit and stabilizing her medications, she has been seizure free for almost 8 months and is back to her appropriate weight of 56 lbs.

Despite all the neglect she endured, Gracie is a loving dog who adores children and loves to cuddle.  Gracie’s happy ending is her own family, including another Dal – Austin, to love and care for her for the rest of her life.

Zuke’s Story

Zuke was surrendered by his owners because they were not prepared for the training an active, smart Dalmatian might need.  As a result, he was very rambunctious, unruly, and a little destructive.  The landlord said he MUST GO!  Turns out, he is a very sweet boy who is great with all other dogs and loves to play.  His new family have an active lifestyle that fits Zuke’s personality perfectly.  They love him, have taught him manners and he gets to do all kinds of fun things that keep him happy and occupied.

Selene’s Story

Selene was in a Texas shelter as a stray. She had not been spayed, so Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado had that done as well as basic vet care. A few days after the spay, Selene became very ill and underwent emergency surgery for a rare complication – an infected ovarian stump. She has recovered well from the surgery with no lingering infection. She is a very sweet girl who has not yet found her forever home. For now, she is happy in foster care arranged through Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado.

I want to contribute to happy endings for more Dalmatians in need!
