What does DBS stand for?
The DBS in DBS Rescue stands for Different Breed Solutions, because we are not breed specific we are tackling all "different breeds" of problems to provide impactful solutions!
How was DBS Rescue Started?
We are currently getting started as you read this blurb! With the Board of Directors decided, we are currently finishing up on writing our ByLaws and preparing the necessary documents to apply for our non-profit's approval!
What is DBS Rescue's Mission?
Our primary mission is to save dogs from unnecessary euthanasia, help prepare them for and connect them with their forever homes. We also work to actively advocate for responsible pet ownership and hope to be able to connect a strong community of support for dogs and dog owners revolving around care, training and proper handling.
What does DBS Rescue currently do to help animals?
Currently we actively volunteer at Collin County Animal Services with adoptable dogs. Walking them, socializing them, loving on them and helping dogs to prepare for their forever homes, as well as performing adoption counseling and heartworm talks (Thank you Adopt-My-Heart for teaching us about Heartworms!) Adoption counseling and posting the dogs we engage with to allow potential adopters to meet and learn more about the dogs available for adoption, it also gives them a better idea if they are the right home for the dogs.
How is DBS Rescue funded?
The goal is to rely on donations, partnerships, grants, events and fundraising campaigns to support the rescues efforts. Eventually we would like to offer low-cost clinics and grooming to help generate funds consistently to put towards the rescue 's efforts and offer facilities for community events and aide our fellow rescues.
Does DBS Rescue adopt dogs out?
Though independently our founders volunteer as adoption counselors at Collin County Animal Services working to connect the right dogs to potential adopters as a whole, we are currently working towards a facility so we can adopt dogs out directly. Until then we are teaming up with Collin County Animal Services to Foster animals.
How does DBS Rescue decide what dogs to save?
Our first focus is for adoptable dogs listed for euthanasia due to no fault of their own. Secondly dogs that have been passed over, returned, or have been in the shelter for an excessive amount of time and it is beginning to wear on their mental health and show in their temperament and could lead to euthanasia or death from self-starvation. This is often found in many different breeds and this is why we are not breed specific.
What is "transformative training" and what does it consist of?
"Transformative transitional training" is the idea of dog training focused on helping shelter dogs or feral dogs adjust or transition to home life. This can include crate training, basic kibble training, and exposure to "adopted life" situations ranging from normal home sounds, and socialization with dogs/ kids, to prolonged periods sitting in office settings or public events with positive reinforcement in the form of affection, verbal praise and treats!
