DUCK TEAM 6 they saved our German Shepherd 12 years ago and she’s still going strong ❤️
Duck Team 6
THIS MONTH'S VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT!
Mandi, Jane, and Jessica!
This month, we're celebrating three incredible volunteers who make one of our favorite events happen every year. Our 7th annual Beer and Donuts fundraiser at Four Bullets Brewery was a huge success, and it would not have come together without the hard work of Mandi, Jane, and Jessica.
All three are long-time Duck Team 6 volunteers who have worn many hats over the years. Mandi and Jessica are even proud Duck Dog adopters, which makes their involvement in this event that much more special.
Mandi is our behind-the-scenes organizer, keeping communication flowing between the team and the brewery to make sure every detail is handled. Jane is the mastermind behind our raffle table and always shows up with a full spread of amazing gift baskets. She also runs the table during the event and keeps everything moving smoothly. And Jessica brings the sweetest touch to the day by custom-making and donating off-menu Shipley’s donuts every single year.
Beer and Donuts is more than a fundraiser. It is a fun gathering of volunteers, Duck Dogs, and supporters, and it raises important funds for our mission. This year, we brought in just over $1200.
A big thank you to Mandi, Jane, and Jessica for your dedication, your creativity, and your commitment to making this event such a success year after year.

Ranger and Buck are still waiting. After posting them for MONTHS we have received zero interest in either of these sweet boys. Now, they are huddling up for warmth from the cold while they wait on someone that is able to open their heart and homes. Why are they still waiting?
Is it because they’re not purebred?
Is it because they’ve survived on the streets?
Why don’t they receive the same attention as so many of our other cases?
These two boys have lived the truest street dog life... overlooked, ignored, and forgotten by the world around them. And yet, despite everything they’ve been through, they remain gentle, calm, and hopeful. They want what every dog deserves: safety, kindness, and a place to finally rest.
That’s why we’re fighting so hard for them.
Because dogs like Ranger and Buck fall through the cracks far too easily.
Because their lives matter just as much as any other dog’s.
And because they deserve their chance… a chance they’ve never truly had.
We won’t stop advocating for them.
We won’t stop sharing their story.
And we won’t stop believing that the right fosters are out there. Someone who will see them, choose them, and give them the love they’ve waited far too long for. 🖤🐾
Can you help us change their story? Email us at capture@duckteam6.org

How to Give >>> Help Offset Boarding Costs
It’s never ideal to place a dog in boarding, but in rescue, it’s sometimes the only option.
We’re fortunate to work with incredible boarding providers who take excellent care of our Duck Dogs when fosters or forever homes aren’t available.
AND… we are deeply grateful for their generous rescue rates!
Even so, boarding costs add up quickly. With rates ranging from $12 to over $20 per day, monthly expenses can easily climb to $1,000, $2,000, or even $3,000, depending on how many dogs are in boarding at once.
🐾 This Giving Tuesday, can you help us cover these crucial costs? Your support ensures our Duck Dogs have a safe place to stay while they wait for their next big step: a foster or forever home.
Click the donate button on this post to give or donate on our website at the link in the comments.
Every dollar brings us closer to giving these dogs the happy, secure lives they deserve. ❤️
How to Give >>> Foster
There are many ways to give on GivingTuesday, and if you’re wondering how you can give to Duck Team 6, one way is by FOSTERING!
Prior foster experience is not required. All you need is love, compassion, patience… and a comfy couch.
Pictured are all Duck Dogs that are currently in boarding and in need of a foster home to really settle in and flourish while they look for their forever home.
Reach out to placement@duckteam6.org if you’re interested in fostering (or adopting) any of these sweet pups.
You can also fill out a foster application right here:
duckteam6.org/foster-application/
If you’re unsure about fostering, that’s ok! Fill out an app, and we’ll be able to find a good match for you with a current Duck Dog in need of a foster, or we’ll be able to match you up with a future Duck Dog.
Thank you for your desire to GIVE to Duck Team 6 today.

🐾 Can You Help Us Cover the Remaining $1,074 of Freya’s Surgery Cost? 🐾
Freya joined the Duck Team 6 family after a tough start and some serious medical needs. Once she finished her heartworm treatment, she was finally cleared for the surgery she desperately needed to repair her severe cherry eyes and be spayed at the same time.
Her cherry eyes were so bad that our vet said it was the worst case she’d ever seen. Freya lived with constant irritation, infections, and limited vision, and this surgery gave her real relief for the first time in a long time.
Thanks to our generous supporters, $326 has already been donated, and we are so grateful.
We still need to raise $1,074 to fully cover the cost of her $1,400 surgery.
✨ Giving Tuesday starts tomorrow, but you don’t have to wait to make a difference. Your donation gives dogs like Freya the second chance they deserve. We are so fortunate to provide the care these dogs need, but we can’t do it without you.
Every donation brings us closer to giving more dogs the chance at a better life. Donate today and help us rescue, rehabilitate, and find forever homes for dogs like Freya.
❤️ Thank you for being part of our Duck Team 6 family!

❄️DECEMBER BROUGHT IN THE WINTER WEATHER❄
As temperatures drop, every case becomes urgent and we understand that fear... But please remember: these are street dogs. They’re incredibly smart, resourceful and many have survived on their own for years.
While none of us want these dogs on the streets any longer than necessary, our capture team is small. We’re all volunteers balancing full-time jobs, families, and personal responsibilities. We are NOT readily available. We take on as many cases as we safely can, but we cannot be everywhere at once.
If you believe a situation is truly urgent, please contact Animal Control or post on local Lost & Found Facebook groups to find an independent trapper who may be able to respond faster.
👉🏻 What can you do while waiting for our response or for us to have availability?
❄️ Set up a temporary outdoor shelter.
Use a plastic kennel, wrap a blanket around the outside for insulation, cover it with a tarp, and secure it with bungee cords. Fill the inside with straw (not hay!) to keep the dog warm and dry.
❄️ Feed the dog twice a day in the same place.
We recommend puppy food. It’s higher in nutrients and helps them add a few extra pounds for the winter weather. The goal is to provide one consistent feeding station so the dog becomes predictable.
❄️ Use a game camera if you have one.
It helps track the dog’s movements, routines, and visitation times.
❄️ Try locating a committed foster and 501(c)3 rescue.
Both are required before we can trap a dog, so securing these early can speed things up significantly.
❄️ If a dog is accidentally trapped in your backyard, call Animal Control.
❄️ If the dog is in immediate danger, call Animal Control right away.
We hope these suggestions are helpful, and we truly appreciate everyone’s understanding as we currently have a waitlist of at least three weeks. Finding available fosters has become increasingly challenging and with the holidays approaching, it may become even more difficult. Thank you for your patience, compassion, and continued support as we work to help every dog who needs us.

This beautiful, gentle soul has survived over a year on the streets, enduring hunger, danger, and loneliness. She’s already had multiple litters of puppies, bringing life into a world that has offered her nothing but hardship. And she may be pregnant again, but we do not know for sure.
Macy has fought for herself for far too long. She has never known the comfort of a home, the warmth of a bed, or the safety of someone who truly cares.
We are looking for a compassionate human to open their heart and their home to her. She is:
💗 Incredibly sweet
💗 Completely gentle—no aggression, only trust and hope
💗 Deserving of a safe, loving home where she can finally rest and heal
Macy’s life has been a constant fight. We cannot let her continue to suffer. She needs a long-term foster home, a place where she can finally know security, care, and love.
If you can help, please email us at capture@duckteam6.org
Even sharing this post could be the difference between Macy suffering another day on the street or finally experiencing the love she has always deserved.
💔 Let’s give Macy a life she’s never known.

Freya update: Her Spay & Cherry Eye Repair is Complete!
If you’re able to help us cover Freya’s medical bill, we’d be grateful. Her spay and cherry eye repair surgery came out to $1,400, and this girl has been through a lot to get here.
After being cleared from her heartworm treatment, Freya finally got to have the surgery she desperately needed. Her cherry eyes were so severe that our vet said it was the worst case she’s ever seen. No wonder she lived with nonstop irritation, infections, and struggled to see.
The good news is her surgery went great, and she’s already looking and feeling so much better and she seems relieved to finally see without all the swelling and goop. We’re also hopeful clearer vision will ease some of her anxiety, since she’s still extremely timid with new people and new situations.
If you can help cover her $1,400 surgery bill, it truly makes a difference. Thank you for always showing up for these dogs. Semper Woof!

I wish so badly that our dog was dog friendly, because I would have taken the whole family. Could Sadie’s foster take them, by chance? I know that’s a big ask, but we know they all get along already 🙂
People spend thousands of dollars for pure breeds, then later have so many allergic issues those dogs , and we here got sweet boys healthy , leaving on street , just needing warm place , food and good people to call home . Prayers for great home for them
Someone in the greater Dallas area must have a bit of space available to take one of these dogs in. They don't require much! Our boy Charlie Blue was trapped by Duck Team 6 years ago. We could not imagine life without him. Please don't wait for someone else to save these dogs, just do it!
UPDATE: EMBER HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND IS WITH Kind Paws Rescue!

🚒 Meet Our Little Firehouse Fighter 🔥🐶
This sweet street pup, Ember, wandered up to a Dallas fire station looking for nothing more than a safe place to rest and she’s been stealing hearts ever since. The firefighters have been feeding her, checking on her, and giving her all the love they can. Even though she’s still a little standoffish at first, her constantly wagging tail tells the real story: she wants to trust, she wants to love, and she’s trying so hard to feel safe.
We believe she’s on the younger side, and despite everything she’s likely been through on the streets, her resilient spirit shines through. She warms up quickly once she realizes you’re kind, and the fire crew can’t stop talking about how sweet she is.
Now she needs one more champion of compassion, a foster who can open their home so we can get her fully vetted and start her journey toward a forever family.
🏡 Ember deserves warmth, comfort, and a couch instead of concrete. We would like to bring her into Duck Team 6 to give her a chance at a new life.
If you can foster this little Firehouse Fighter, please email us at placement@duckteam6.org.
You’ll be helping give a brave girl the chance of a lifetime.
Let’s get her off the streets and into the loving home she’s been waiting for. ❤️

To our donors who give generously…
To our fosters who open their homes and hearts…
To our supporters who cheer us on…
To our rescue partners who walk beside us…
And to our volunteers, the heartbeat of our mission, who show up in the cold, the rain, the late nights, and the early mornings…
You are the reason street dogs in Dallas get the second chances they deserve.
Every safe capture, every healing journey, every wagging tail and fresh start, it all begins with YOU.
We are humbled, honored, and truly grateful for each and every one of you.
Thank you for being part of our pack.

Happy Thanksgiving 🤎🧡❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾
Last night, with the help of Kacy Hendricks with Hope's Rescue and Recovery Angels and her incredible dog Logan, our volunteers gathered once again in hopes of finding the last missing puppy from Seggy’s litter. The woods out there are unbelievably dense, and every single person gave it everything they had, but despite our tireless efforts, we still weren’t able to locate the puppy.
Our volunteers have been searching daily, through the rain, in the dark, and in the daylight. This past weekend alone, they spent up to 10 hours combing those woods, refusing to give up. Dreu and Carleigh have brought the drone out three separate times, doing everything possible to cover areas our team can’t reach on foot.
As much as it breaks our hearts to say this, we are now unsure if the last puppy is still alive. It’s the hardest part of rescue, the not knowing, especially when so many people have poured so much hope, time, and love into bringing this little one to safety.
We are deeply grateful to Kacy for carving time out of her already packed schedule to assist us. Like many trappers, she juggles so much, yet still shows up when dogs need her most. This case has been challenging in ways we don’t typically encounter, and it has stretched us, taught us, and reminded us just how unpredictable rescue work can be.
With Seggy’s milk beginning to dry up and her attention shifting away from the puppies already in safety, our next priority will be to recapture her permanently. We will also be placing additional game cameras throughout the wooded area in hopes of spotting any sign of the remaining puppy or new movement.
We know there may be people who come onto this post with criticism or assumptions, but here’s the reality: Right now, especially during the holidays, our small team is even smaller. We are flooded with requests, all labeled urgent because of the weather, and we try so hard to help every single dog we can. But we are human. We are volunteers. And we are doing everything possible with the time, hands, and resources we have.
We will continue monitoring the area closely, and with a little luck, a little patience, and a lot of hope, we pray this last puppy will show up. Thank you to everyone who continues to support us, encourage us, and understand the realities of this work.

Have you tried thermal camera? There is a guy who does it for a flat fee. I would be glad to contribute towards that. Thank you for pouring your hearts into this.
We will continue to support you guys in whatever way we can. My heart hurts that we couldn't find her. Logan knew where you had the puppies in the field though. I'll try and get out there Thursday to do a run thru. We'll keep racking our brains to other alternatives. We are here for you!
Thank you all for showing up and caring for these precious puppies.

Look Who Got Adopted: Gator (now Toby!)
Gator spent more than a year loose in Weatherford with an entire community watching over him. Our capture team was conditioning him to a trap when Weatherford Animal Control safely caught him and brought him to the shelter. Even though we rarely pull from shelters, we already had a foster lined up. Once his stray hold passed and no owner came forward, he headed straight to that home.
His fosters, Jim and Loretta, quickly saw just how special he was. In their own words, “Toby came to us as a skittish street dog. He shook whenever we approached him and wouldn’t even take a treat at first.”
With patience and love, he blossomed fast. They shared that he now greets each morning with excitement, runs around the house to say hello, and then heads to his room for breakfast like it’s his daily ritual. They told us, “Toby loves to cuddle and wants to be wherever we are. We remind him every day that he is safe.”
And then the line that says it all:
“We were a family in need of a friendly pet to make our family complete. It worked. We are fortunate to be foster failures.”
We are thrilled to announce that Gator, now Toby, is officially adopted. He is home.

Look Who Got Adopted: Fudgy Bear (now Fred!)
Earlier this year, little Fudgy Bear showed up outside his first foster’s home in Dallas, happy, friendly, and full of energy. It didn’t take long for interest to roll in. One of those interested adopters turned out to be a coworker of his foster, so Fudgy went for a trial run to see if it was the right fit.
After starting the trial adoption, Cedric and Aricka quickly realized just how much puppy energy this boy had. They worried he might be a bit much for their lifestyle and decided they’d continue fostering him instead, giving us time to find the perfect match.
But Fudgy had other plans.
While we kept promoting him and even received an application that ended up going nowhere, Cedric and Aricka realized the truth that had been building all along: Fudgy, now Fred, was already home. He had settled in, made himself part of their routines, and won them over completely.
We’re thrilled to share that Fred is officially a permanent member of the family.
Happy gotcha day, Fred. Thank you, Cedric and Aricka, for giving Fred the perfect home!

Happened to me too. Foster Fails are Happy Tails!
He’s precious!!
Omg he is so cute! Congrats to all of you as you start this new journey w Fred!
It has been a long, exhausting, and emotional week for our team. Since last Sunday, we have been searching tirelessly for Momma Seggy’s last remaining puppy. We’ve captured seven puppies so far, but we know one more little one is still out there in the woods, and we refuse to give up.
Our team has done multiple foot searches through thick, unforgiving brush. The thermal drone has been deployed three separate times, thank you Ruff Road Revival! After capturing Seggy, we temporarily fitted her with a Fi collar and released her in hopes she would lead us back. We have tried everything... setting up feeding stations, placing food strategically, playing puppy cries through a speaker, even following Seggy’s movements as closely as we could.
We have heard the faint cries of the last puppy, and those tiny sounds have fueled our determination. This afternoon, we will try a new strategy: bringing the other seven puppies out in a portable puppy pen, surrounding that with another pen and food, in hopes the missing pup will come toward its siblings.
This little one has survived storms, cold nights, and predators. We are desperate to get it safe and warm.
Because of your generosity on their previous post, we were able to order thermal binoculars, which we hope will make all the difference during these searches. Your support is literally putting life-saving tools into our hands, and we cannot thank you enough.
Our deepest hope is that our next update will be the one we’ve been working for, that we’ve found the final puppy and have safely recaptured Seggy, reuniting this family once and for all.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your continued support, your compassion, and your belief in our mission. We aren’t giving up.

🎅🎄 Only 6 Days Left! 🤍🐶
If Randy taught us anything, it’s that being bundled up so much you can’t put your arms down is the true spirit of winter. And honestly? We want our dogs (and YOU) to be just as warm as Randy in his snowsuit… just with a little more mobility. 😂🧡
That’s where our Duck Team 6 winter merch comes in... cozy, comfy, and guaranteed not to make you waddle like a penguin. Probably.
Grab your new favorite hoodie and support the dogs who need us most this season. Perfect gifts for friends, family, and every “Dog Person” on your list. 🎁✨

LONG-TERM COMMITTED FOSTER NEEDED!
Ruff Road Revival helped us TREMENDOUSLY with Lakely and now Seggy. It is time for all of us to return the favor. They have asked us to help them trap this beautiful girl.
Meet Macy… this beautiful, gentle soul who has been living on the streets for well over a year, doing everything she can to survive. She’s had multiple litters of puppies, bringing life into the world with no safe place, no soft bed, and no one to call her own.
And now… she may be pregnant again. We don’t know for sure yet, but what we do know is this:
💗 She is incredibly sweet.
💗 She has shown ZERO aggression—only softness, and hope.
💗 She deserves a chance to rest, to heal, and to finally be loved.
This girl has fought for herself long enough. What she needs now is a safe, calm foster home where she can decompress, be cared for, and finally experience the security she’s been missing her entire life.
If you have room in your heart and home to foster this brave mama Macy, please email capture@duckteam6.org
Even sharing this post helps us find her the haven she desperately needs.
Let’s show her what love feels like. 🩷

I have a question. Does this breed do well with cats, generally? I ask because I actually originate from a place that has banned this breed, so I know nothing. We are dog lovers but haven’t gotten another since we lost ours 9 years ago. I’m home all the time, and she’s pulling on my heartstrings. 🥺
This girl seems so sweet! She desperately needs a safe, warm place to stay during the cold weather coming up. She's been outside for way too long and her eyes are just begging for some help. ❤️🩹 Ruff Road Revival is willing to back her with an approved foster, so you will be supported every step of the way!
If anyone can foster, it will be SO rewarding and so worth it!!
❄️WINTER ANNOUNCEMENT❄️
With December quickly approaching, our inbox is overflowing with requests we simply can’t keep up with. As temperatures drop, every case becomes urgent and we understand that fear... But please remember: these are street dogs. They’re incredibly smart, resourceful and many have survived on their own for years.
While none of us want these dogs on the streets any longer than necessary, our capture team is small. We’re all volunteers balancing full-time jobs, families, and personal responsibilities. We take on as many cases as we safely can, but we cannot be everywhere at once.
If you believe a situation is truly urgent, please contact Animal Control or post on local Lost & Found Facebook groups to find an independent trapper who may be able to respond faster.
👉🏻 What can you do while waiting for our response or for us to have availability?
❄️ Set up a temporary outdoor shelter.
Use a plastic kennel, wrap a blanket around the outside for insulation, cover it with a tarp, and secure it with bungee cords. Fill the inside with straw (not hay!) to keep the dog warm and dry.
❄️ Feed the dog twice a day.
We recommend puppy food. It’s higher in nutrients and helps them add a few extra pounds for the winter weather.
❄️ Use a game camera if you have one.
It helps track the dog’s movements, routines, and visitation times.
❄️ Try locating a committed foster and rescue.
Both are required before we can trap a dog, so securing these early can speed things up significantly.
❄️ If a dog is accidentally trapped in your backyard, call Animal Control.
❄️ If the dog is in immediate danger, call Animal Control right away.

Ranger and Buck are still waiting…
These two gentle souls have possibly spent their entire lives surviving on the streets, most likely never knowing the warmth of a home, the softness of a bed, or the comfort of a loving touch.
We have begged. We have pleaded. We have hoped.
But our calls for help have gone unanswered, and these boys continue to wait in the shadows for a chance they’ve never been given.
Ranger and Buck are not broken.
They are calm, gentle, and show zero aggression... just quiet, steady hearts that want safety and peace. They’ve relied on each other and on the kindness of strangers, but what they truly need now is a long-term foster willing to open their door and say, “You’re safe here.” They do NOT need to go to the same foster home.
We are desperate to give them that chance.
They deserve more than the streets.
They deserve to know what love feels like.
If you can foster, even one of them, please reach out to capture@duckteam6.org. You could be the first home they’ve ever know and the one that changes their story forever.

Where is this?
Can you please tell me why they can't or shouldn't go to the same Foster home? I want to share but wanted to know why so I can forward that information
Someone said she applied to foster Ranger.

LONG-TERM FOSTER AND RESCUE NEEDED
Meet Brisket!
We were contacted by a Good Samaritan regarding this sweet boy who is roaming a college campus in Dallas.
We do not know a lot about him, but he is sweet and not showing aggression. He doesn't let the Good Samaritan get close, but does let him sit alongside him.
Look at his face!
Can you open your home and heart to this sweet and deserving boy? Email us at capture@duckteam6.org
We will donate $450 to the rescue that can take him in.

Wait is that nail in him or the wood??
He looks injured? Is something sticking out of his leg? Hard to tell if it is, or it’s in the wood.
Send him to me in west texas.

With the heavy rain and temps dropping soon, please consider fostering. Even a bathroom or spare room can save a dog from freezing or suffering outside. A small act of kindness can change everything for them. They have rescue backing by Ruff Road Revival and you won’t be alone
Please foster if you can! We prioritize taking very good care of our fosters and at this point, even temp fostering would help tremendously so we can get her in a home before temps drop and get her vetted.
Such a beautiful gal!!
