We are a 501(c)(3) rescue that focuses on capturing street dogs in the DFW Metroplex.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT:
Carleigh & Dreu Bynum
Some people don’t just volunteer. They fully commit. Carleigh and Dreu are two of those people.
They first began helping our capture team in the fall of last year while assisting with locating Lakely & Seggy’s puppies. What started as lending a hand quickly turned into something much bigger. By December, they officially joined Duck Team 6 as volunteers, and we’ve been grateful ever since.
Carleigh and Dreu are always willing to jump in, even at the last minute. Whether it’s supporting events, sitting on long captures, crawling through thick brush, or bringing out their drone to help track a dog, they show up with steady determination and a can-do attitude.
Their dedication extends beyond DT6. They also volunteer with our partner rescue, Ruff Road Revival, and their home is often full as they foster multiple RRR dogs at a time. Rescue is not just something they help with occasionally. It’s part of their everyday life.
One of the clearest examples of their heart and grit came during the January ice storm when a recently captured foster dog, Oakley, escaped. While most people were staying inside, Carleigh and Dreu were out in freezing conditions checking Oakley’s usual hangout spots again and again. They used a drone to search from above, spent hours driving while carefully keeping their distance so they wouldn’t scare him off, tried luring him with high value treats, and even set up a shelter in the foster’s backyard to give him a safe place to return to.
After the weather cleared, they continued monitoring the trap regularly and worked with the team on creative capture strategies. Throughout the entire process, they stayed in close communication with the foster, the capture lead, and the Good Samaritan who allowed us to keep a trap at his home.
Rescue work is muddy, cold, exhausting, and often unpredictable. Carleigh and Dreu continue to show up with patience, creativity, and unwavering commitment.
We are incredibly thankful for their dedication and the countless hours they’ve poured into helping dogs who need us most.
Thank you, Carleigh and Dreu, for being such an important part of the Duck Team 6 family.

They’re the absolute best! Couldn’t do it without them
We have loved getting to know the amazing people with DT6 and becoming part of such an incredible team ❤️ We have already learned so much and look forward to many more adventures rescuing the deserving street dogs of Dallas 🥰🐶
You guys are truly angels on earth!
LOOK WHO GOT ADOPTED!
Riggs (now Kevin)
Our sweet Riggs is officially adopted!
You may remember the cutest little puppy we brought in last summer, one of Sadie’s street puppies. Riggs came to us with a gnarly paw injury that we initially hoped would heal with time and care. But after the Bell family stepped up for a foster-to-adopt trial, we learned his injury was much more severe than originally suspected.
In December, sweet Riggs underwent an amputation of his front left leg. And just like that, this brave little puppy proved that three legs are more than enough.
Now known as Kevin, he is the happiest, friendliest, most excited pup you could imagine. And while he started out as a tiny street puppy, he’s not so little anymore. Kevin has grown a lot and is expected to be upwards of 60 pounds of pure joy.
He has landed exactly where he belongs with the Bell family, which includes three human siblings and one very important cat sibling named Dwight, who loves to play with him. Kevin is thriving, loved, and living his absolute best life.
From injured street puppy to confident tripod with a forever family, this is the kind of happy ending we work so hard for.
Congratulations, Kevin. We are so incredibly happy for you.

DUCK DOG OF THE MONTH: JASMINE
Jasmine has been waiting since March of 2022.
That’s nearly four years.
Nearly four years of being safe. Nearly four years of being cared for. Nearly four years of wonderful people making sure she’s fed, exercised, and loved.
And nearly four years without a home of her own.
Jasmine came into our care in the spring of 2022. She briefly tried foster life, but after an incident with the resident dog, it became clear she needed to be the only pet in the home. Since then, she’s been patiently waiting for the right fit.
She is incredible with people. Affectionate. Social. Loyal. She leans into love and thrives on human connection. She’s crate trained, house trained, knows her basic manners, and enjoys the simple things in life like chasing a ball or chewing on her favorite toys.
Her only ask is simple: she wants to be your one and only.
We know single-dog homes can be harder to find. But we also know they exist. There are families who don’t want multiple pets. There are people who want one devoted companion, one shadow, one best friend.
Jasmine has watched so many dogs come and go over the years. And somehow, she still greets each day with hope.
She doesn’t need saving.
She needs choosing.
If you’ve ever considered being a one-dog household, Jasmine is ready to give you a bond that is steady, loyal, and all yours. To learn more or apply, email placement@duckteam6.org.

How do you help not one, but two dogs you’ve been pleading and begging for fosters for over 100 days?
These boys were Sadie’s right-hand men. Now that Sadie is safe, our focus is fully on them. But the silence has been deafening.
The interest in their story has slowly faded...but their reality has not.
Ranger seems to be declining. The harsh winter weather clearly took a toll on him. Buck is still hanging in there, but they are a pair and we cannot trap one and leave the other behind. If we secure one and the other is left alone, there is a very real chance he will disappear.
They trust each other.
They move together.
They survive together.
So we have to save them together.
The good news? Ranger and Buck are dog-friendly and regularly run with the neighborhood dogs. They would do best in a foster home with another dog to show them the ropes. They are not aggressive. They are not lost causes. They are simply overlooked.
What we need are committed, long-term fosters so we can safely trap them at the same time and finally get them off the streets. They do not have to go to the same foster home.
No more gravel beds.
No more watching from a distance.
No more waiting.
If you have been following their story, this is the moment they need you most.
We have a rescue ready. The missing piece is long-term fosters.
If you can open your home and help us bring Ranger and Buck to safety, please email:

FEBRUARY'S FEATURED DUCK DOG
Mochi (AKA: Woody)
This month’s featured Duck Dog is newly available Mochi! Mochi is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing 80 lbs, and he’s equal parts adventure buddy and couch companion.
Mochi recently finished board and train, and it shows. He’s learned important household manners and how to stay calm and comfortable in a crate, now seeing it as a safe place. These skills make him much easier to transition into a forever home.
He has a sweet, calm disposition and absolutely loves people, including kids. Mochi bonds deeply with his humans and is incredibly loyal to those he trusts.
Mochi was originally found living on an uncleared lot in Old East Dallas. Thanks to a dedicated foster family, he’s gone from a street dog to a total snuggle bug who enjoys the comforts of home.
One of Mochi’s favorite things is string cheese, earning him the nickname “Mocheezy.” 🧀
Mochi is fully house-trained, well-mannered, eager to please, and enjoys having a job or task to focus on.
Important to know: Mochi would do best as the only pet. He prefers space from other dogs and is happiest focusing on his person. In a single-pet home, his loyal and affectionate personality really shines.
If you’re looking for a devoted companion who’s ready to be your sidekick both out in the world and at home, Mochi is ready to meet you. To learn more or apply, email placement@duckteam6.org.

This is the sweetest and most loyal boy. He loves a deep snuggle and head scratches. He deserves all the love and all the cheese! 🧀
Sharing ❤️Mochi aka Woody
We are so honored that Sarah Ashley with The Dodo reached out to Sadie’s case lead, Amy English, for an interview about Sadie’s journey and capture!
Sadie was one of our most challenging cases, keeping us on our toes and leaving us baffled more than once, but her story is one we will never forget. We hope her story will bring awareness to how difficult it can be to bring these dogs to safety, but also to how hard volunteers work to save the lives of Dallas' most neglected.
You can read the full article below and follow along with the story of her incredible capture 💛

Love Sadie girl!
We are feeling incredibly grateful today! 💛
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated items from our wishlist. Because of your kindness, we are now stocked up on much-needed supplies that allow us to continue our mission and help more dogs in need.
We want to give a very special shout out to Jean, Tiffany, and Jackie for going above and beyond.
✨ Jean and Jackie generously donated funds so we could replace our stolen trap and game camera. The trap will now be known affectionally as The Dutch Trap, in honor of Jean's DT6 alum, Dutch.
✨ Tiffany donated so we could purchase coveralls for our more hands-on searches, helping keep our volunteers safe while out in the field.
Your support truly makes this work possible. Every item, every donation, and every act of kindness helps us keep going when the need feels overwhelming.
We are so incredibly grateful to have such an amazing, compassionate community standing behind us. Thank you all so much for your generosity and unwavering support!

🎉 Look Who Got Caught: Meet Champ! 🎉
We were contacted by our friends at DFW Pug Rescue about a poor, sweet boy who had been abandoned after his owner left him behind. With a foster and rescue already lined up, and a volunteer with some time to help, we simply couldn’t say no.
Champ had been sticking close to his Good Samaritan, Valerie, which gave us hope this could be a one-and-done capture. Once we arrived, we set the trap with some tasty food and softly called his name.
It wasn’t until Valerie arrived and called for him that everything changed. Champ came running, circled the trap for about 20 minutes, and finally decided it was safe enough to step inside, and just like that, he was secured!
This sweet boy was quiet the entire car ride to his foster home and gently allowed our volunteers to put on a collar and slip lead. He even climbed right into a volunteer’s lap and let himself be carried to his crate like the polite gentleman he is. 💛
Champ does appear to have a leg injury, so he’ll be seeing a vet soon to get checked out. He will also be reported as Found to Dallas Animal Services.
Happy tails, Champ! 🐾

Champ's capture video. He was not injured, just scared! He calmed down and is incredibly sweet.
He’s precious he looks young… I had a Pug they are the best dog… my George was a rescue and when he came to me it was like he lived here his whole life… RIP MY GEORGIE PORGY 2/6/20 🌈 my love bug Thank you all 🐾
My heart always hurts for them in their panic when the trap first closes. But the relief over rides the heart ache.

Duck Team 6 recently joined forces with Dallas Pets Alive! to build a dog run for a wonderful family in South Dallas.
Your donations helped Miss Shellia and her “babies” — Queenie, King Junior, Chuck Norris, Daisy, and Peanut — with food, supplies, and toys through our Annual Fur Family program. When our holiday elves delivered the donations, we witnessed Daisy jump the chain-link fence and were relieved she stayed nearby and came back when called. Miss Shellia shared that Peanut had also been digging underneath the fence.
It was clear how much she loves her dogs and wants to keep them safe. So together with Dallas Pets Alive!, we made plans to secure her backyard with taller fencing and added reinforcements to prevent digging.
Volunteers from Duck Team 6 and Dallas Pets Alive! came together last weekend to build the dog run, and it did the trick! Daisy came out to inspect it and gave it her paw of approval. Peanut was visibly annoyed that her favorite digging spots were no longer accessible. Chuck Norris, Queenie, and King Junior were just happy to have so many visitors giving out pats and ear scratches.
Thanks to our partnership with Dallas Pets Alive! and the generosity of our donors, families like Miss Shellia’s can have peace of mind knowing their beloved pets are safe and happy.
It truly takes a village.

This is wonderful ♥️♥️
Great work Duck Team 6
Thank you for helping Shellia and her babies! She is a wonderful lady and truly deserving of your blessing!
Remember Bonnie?
This sweet girl has already been through so much, and now she’s facing heartworm treatment, which is both lengthy and expensive. 💔
Our friends at Three Thorn Ranch Rescue are working hard to get her the care she desperately needs, but they can’t do it alone.
If you’re able to spare even a few dollars, it would make a huge difference in Bonnie’s journey to healing. Every donation helps cover her lifesaving treatment and gives her a real chance at the healthy, happy life she deserves.
Please consider donating through the link below and sharing her story.Update on Mama Star 🤍
Yesterday was supposed to be her spay day, but we received unexpected news Star tested positive for heartworm.
After surviving the streets, raising 8 beautiful babies, and fighting through mastitis, this sweet girl now has another hurdle ahead of her.
The good news? She is safe and in a loving foster home.
The hard part? Heartworm treatment is expensive, and we need help covering the cost so she can heal comfortably.
If you’ve been following Star’s journey, this is the moment to rally behind her. Every donation, big or small, goes directly toward her treatment and recovery.
Let’s give this mama the healthy future she deserves. 🤍

104 days.
104 days of posting.
104 days of pleading.
104 days of hopeful emails that never turned into a plan.
104 days of Ranger and Buck sleeping on gravel, waiting for someone to choose them.
These boys were Sadie’s right-hand men. And now that Sadie is safe, our focus is on them. But the silence has been loud.
How are we supposed to take on new cases when these two have absolutely no one waiting for them? When interest in their story has slowly faded, but their reality has not?
It is heartbreaking. It is discouraging. And it is urgent.
Ranger, especially, seems to be declining. The harsh weather last month has clearly taken a toll on him. Buck is still hanging in there, but they are a pair and we cannot trap one and leave the other behind. If we secure one and the other is left alone, there is a very real chance he will disappear.
They trust each other. They move together. They survive together.
So we have to save them together.
The good news? Ranger and Buck are dog-friendly and regularly run with the neighborhood dogs. They are not aggressive. They are not lost causes. They are just overlooked.
What we need are committed, long-term fosters so we can safely trap them at the same time and finally get them off the streets.
No more gravel beds.
No more watching from a distance.
No more waiting.
Please, if you have been following their story, this is the moment they need you most.
Foster homes save lives, and right now, they are the only thing standing between these boys and another 104 days outside.
We have a rescue, but the missing pieces are long-term fosters. Email us if you can foster and help us bring Ranger and Buck to safety.

Remember Bonnie from our New Years Day capture?
Well, Clyde and most of their litter have been adopted and now it is this sweet girls turn!
Bonnie, now Star, was so sweet and offered us tail wags when we were dropping her off at the ranch.
If you are interested in her, please fill out their adoption or foster application. ❤️Because of this community, this sweet mama and her entire family 8 healthy babies and papa were saved from the streets. 🐾🤍
She poured herself into motherhood without hesitation and even overcame mastitis like the warrior she is.
Now it’s time for us to pour back into her.
She deserves peace. She deserves safety. She deserves a forever home.
Foster or adopt and be part of her next chapter.

Who’s ready for a family update?! 🐾💕
Devin and Amy headed out today with Marleigh's Friends Rescue to check in on Sadie and her babies. While Miss Sadie made it very clear she was not interested in seeing them (honestly, fair 😅), the puppies were ready to party!
All puppies were weighed and received their second round of dewormer and we’re happy to report everyone is doing great! These little ones will be ready for new fosters or adopters in just a few weeks.

Duck Team 6 I need your help with an injured stray pitbull. Please help me in seeing how to help this poor dog thats been in the streets walking with a broken back and foot.
We are looking for adoption but since we are first timers with no experience at all. So can you please let me know what breed are the pups, that can help us determine if we can do justice to whoever we end up adopting.
Was Sadie happy to be reunited with puppies? Couldn’t really tell.
Happy Valentine’s Day from our adoptable Duck Dogs!🐾❤️
Love is in the air… and maybe your perfect match is waiting with us! 💘

💖🐾 Valentine’s Wish 🐾💖 This Valentine’s Day, our biggest wish is for every dog to find their forever loving, safe home. May each pup trade kennel bars for cozy couches, lonely nights for belly rubs, and waiting for “you’re home.” If you can’t adopt, please share—every share, comment, and like helps love find its way faster. Love is waiting… come meet it. ❤️🐶
💘 Over 100 Days… and Still Waiting 💘
This Valentine’s Day, Buck and Ranger are still waiting for their perfect match, a foster home to call their own.
For more than 100 days, we’ve been searching. We’ve received inquiries, and we are so grateful for every person who showed interest… but we still don’t have a foster for these boys.
They don’t need perfect.
They don’t need fancy.
They just need someone willing to open their heart and home.
While the world is celebrating love today, Buck and Ranger are still hoping theirs is right around the corner. Will you be the one to show them what love feels like?

Saturday is February 21. Did you mean Sunday, February 22, or Saturday, February 21? 
✨ Look Who Got Caught! Astro! ✨
Sometimes it doesn’t take a village to capture a dog… sometimes it just takes a few incredibly dedicated neighbors. 💛
We were recently contacted by a family who, back in 2020, donated the funds for our custom large trap, lovingly named “The Teddy Trap” after we helped capture their parents’ dog, Teddy. This time, they reached out about a female Doberman running loose in their neighborhood near White Rock Lake.
Four neighbors had been working together to safely care for and try to catch her. They named her Astro, since she was often spotted near an Astro van. While Astro is a very sweet girl, she was too scared to allow anyone to slip-lead her.
After hearing how close she was willing to get to the people feeding and caring for her, our team loaded up the Teddy Trap and headed out yesterday. With the help of the people she trusted, and her favorite cooked chicken, she circled the trap for just a few minutes before being safely captured. 🐾
Astro is now safe with our friends at Doberman Rescue of North Texas. She was scanned for a microchip and a previous owner was located, but she had been rehomed shortly after being chipped. The rescue is doing everything possible to locate a possible owner, and she has been officially reported as Found. If an owner does not come forward, she will be available for adoption.
Thank you to Doberman Rescue of North Texas and to Astro’s loyal Good Samaritans who knew she deserved a better life than the one she was living on the streets and for being her biggest advocates.
Happy Tails, Astro! 🖤🐶

Important to know: Mochi would do best as the only pet. He prefers space from other dogs and is happiest focusing on his person. In a single-pet home, his loyal and affectionate personality really shines.
If you’re looking for a devoted companion who’s ready to be your sidekick both out in the world and at home, Mochi is ready to meet you. To learn more or apply, email placement@duckteam6.org.

Mochi’s number one hobby is accepting scratches. He’s a wonderful blend of love bug and goofball. He deserves the best forever home! 💛🧀
Thank you so much to The Dogs Need Our Help , Kind Paws Rescue , Marleigh's Friends Rescue and Dallas Pets Alive for helping us try to find fosters for these two boys.
We really do not understand why it is taking this long. Ranger basically went viral during the ice storm. We recieved over 15 emails regarding him and absolutely nothing has panned out.
We must have fosters lined up for both boys before we capture them. Boarding is not an option. It is not a good place for street dogs to decompress, plus the vetting prior to boarding them could lead to further traumatic experiences for them and we do not want them stuck there.
These two have most likely never been in a home. They do not have to go to the same foster home, but would greatly benefit from being in a home with another dog.
If you can foster, please email us at capture@duckteam6.org.
If you cannot foster, please share and interact with this post. We are desperate to get these boys off of the streets.💔Ranger & Buck are still sleeping on gravel, waiting, totally overlooked.
For 6 months, Duck Team 6 volunteer trappers have been ready to safely capture them, but without local DFW fosters, they can’t.
They’ve been posted for 100+ days. Applications get started, calls come in… then people disappear.
A rescue is ready to back them after capture. The only missing piece is foster homes.
Ranger is a senior boy whose mobility has gotten worse, especially after the recent ice storm.
Buck is the baby daddy to the mom & puppies the trappers just captured separately before/after the storm.
They’ve spent their entire lives on the streets.. sleeping under semi-trailers, in empty lots, curled up on gravel.
And yet, they’re gentle, trusting, and sweet. After they eat, they quietly walk out of the trap with wagging tails & curl up wherever they can find a slightly softer spot. 💔
🐾About Ranger & Buck
• Dog friendly
• Social & adaptable
• Would do best with another dog to help show them the ropes
• Do NOT need to go together
Trappers describe them as the laziest, funniest street dogs they’ve ever known. They sleep all the time. When food comes out, they try to eat inside the trap together & Buck will sometimes steal the food bowl. They love the toys left for them & can be seen carrying them around the field behind the warehouse where they live.
🛟Foster Support Provided
• Vet care & expenses for supplies covered by a rescue
• Duck Team 6 provides starter supplies
All they need is a safe indoor space, patience, & kindness.
Tonight, Ranger & Buck could be curled up on dog beds.
Instead, they’re still out in the elements waiting for someone to choose them. 💔🐾

We love you boys and are praying for you DAILY
I’ve been posting these dogs everywhere! Someone may want to foster or adopt. Is there a number they can call for more info?
I can offer free over the phone training help to anyone who fosters these dogs, with permission from the rescue. I'm not certified, but I worked for many years with Cody's Friends and Pooch Savers. I've been off for a while, but could coach a foster if needed.

‼️LONG-TERM FOSTER AND 501C3 RESCUE NEEDED‼️
Meet Astro!
We were contacted about a sweet female Doberman that appears lost or dumped. We do not want to make assumptions, but we all want her safe.
The Good Samaritan can give her treats, but cannot get a slip lead around her neck.
If you can foster, please email us at capture@duckteam6.org
If you are a rescue, we will donate $450 to your organization to help offset some of the vetting costs.
Location: Dallas

Saturday will be 100 days...
100 days of us begging.
100 additional days they have been on the streets.
100 more days of them not having a bed... of them sleeping under trailers.
100 days asking and pleading for long-term fosters to step up for these boys and they have been waiting for even longer than that.
Ranger received a lot of interest and over 20 emails, yet we’re still here without a solid yes. Buck, on the other hand, has received far less attention. Both of these boys deserve more than survival. They deserve comfort, warmth, and the chance to finally rest.
We know many of our followers hope Ranger and Buck can go to the same foster, and while that would be a dream come true, we also have to be realistic. Taking in one street dog is a huge undertaking and most people have never fostered a true street dog before. This is not the same as fostering a shelter dog who has lived in a home or with a family. Street dogs are flight risks, can shut down for days or even weeks and incredible escape artists.
That said, if someone is truly up for the challenge of taking in both dogs, they will of course go through our full application and vetting process. We just ask everyone to remain realistic as we work toward the best outcome for each dog.
Both Ranger and Buck would do best in a home with another dog and with someone who is patient, understanding, and willing to give them time and grace.
If you previously submitted an application for Ranger or Buck and were approved, please check your email again. You may have received a follow-up from the rescue and their foster agreement still needs to be signed. We will not leave either one of these boys without the other. We MUST have a foster for both before we can move forward.
If you haven’t submitted an application yet but are interested in fostering either of these boys, please reach out to us at capture@duckteam6.org
If you cannot foster, please help us by sharing this post. Someone must be interested in helping these boys.
They have waited so long.

We adopted a street dog last May. Agreed it is a very different experience, BUT, it is a truly rewarding one. Street dogs are learning everything about home-life for the first time. They are SMART. Once they decompress, they get very comfy with the nicer things in life - regular feedings, the sofa, the bed, belly rubs, toys, treats, etc. They get super attached to their family. For those who are scared of adopting or fostering a street dog, although it comes with challenges, it’s not as scary as you think. These dogs learn to love very quickly. We have acknowledged that our dog will forever be a flight risk - soooo, we just make sure that isn’t an option. Honestly, we say that some of her street cred is wearing off because she lounges around like a true house-hippo. I pray the right person comes forward to foster these two boys. To get the chance of being truly loved and cared for would be the biggest blessing they could ever receive ❤️
