Saving Hope
The local animal rescue should be your first stop when considering a furry friend this holiday season.
BY TERI WEBSTER
Palmer was a “foster failure.” Although the term sounds negative, the Australian shepherd mix with rich tan fur and soulful brown eyes landed in a best-case scenario. In the world of animal rescue, a “foster failure” is when a pet’s temporary caregiver becomes its permanent owner. That’s exactly how Palmer found his forever home.
“He just made me want to keep him,” said Avery Frederick, a coordinator at Saving Hope Animal Rescue in Fort Worth, where Palmer was born. “He’s very loving. He just loves to be right next to me.”
Frederick said she initially viewed Palmer as a foster, but that changed as the two became inseparable. Over the past year or so, Palmer has grown into a silly, happy dog who loves toys, watching cartoons, and playing with Sophia, Frederick’s other rescue dog.
Unlike Palmer, not every pet will have a happy ending at this time of year.
Given the overwhelming number of pets already in shelters, rescue advocates urge the public to first “adopt, not shop.” Adopting a pet can turn a seasonal trend into a lifesaving action.
“The overpopulation in Tarrant County alone is crazy,” Frederick said.
Volunteers with the nonprofit constantly monitor area shelters, gathering pets whose time is about to run out to save them from euthanasia. Despite these heroic efforts, Frederick said it isn’t always enough.
Beyond deciding to adopt, careful consideration is needed for whether a specific pet is the right fit for a household’s lifestyle. A dog’s temperament and required activity level, for example, can vary dramatically, even within the same breed. One person’s mellow West Highland terrier can be another’s whirling dervish.
METROPOLIS
more than 1,500 dogs and cats were spayed and neutered.
“As we enter a new year at Saving Hope Animal Rescue, we’re excited for the progress ahead and the impact we hope to make for animals in our community,” said Lauren Anton, executive director and founder of Saving Hope Animal Rescue. “Our mission — to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for abandoned, neglected, and abused animals across DFW — remains our driving force.”
Being unprepared for the demands of pet ownership is a primary reason dogs are surrendered to groups like Saving Hope or land in overcrowded shelters, where space and time are limited. Some of the most energetic breeds can also be more than people are prepared to handle. Take French bulldogs, for example. Adorable? Absolutely. A project? They can be.
“Some people don’t know what they’re getting into,” Frederick said. “People end up not wanting them because they can’t handle the high energy levels.”
A dog is likely going to be a 10-to15-year commitment, and considering the breed’s energy level, size, and temperament is essential to ensure the right match. Costs associated with the possibility of chronic health conditions and general health care are
other important considerations that many first-time owners often overlook.
Size matters, too.
“There are so many large dogs that get adopted, and once they get big, some people will say they need more space to run,” Frederick said.
To help ease the cost of care and promote responsible ownership, Saving Hope offers adopters an entire first year of required shots and free spaying or neutering.
Overall, Saving Hope’s impact includes saving a total of more than 12,000 dogs and cats since its formation in March 2018. In 2024 alone, Saving Hope invested approximately $1.4 million in veterinary expenses to ensure animals in their care receive the medical attention they need, according to stats provided by the nonprofit. Additionally,
Among the plans for 2026 are expanding Saving Hope’s foster network, increasing awareness about low-cost veterinary care, and strengthening partnerships with local shelters and the community.
“These efforts will help us bring more animals out of crisis and into safe, loving homes,” Anton said. “Our vision for Tarrant County is simple: Save more animals, help more families, and continue building a community where every pet has the chance at a safe, happy life.”
For Frederick, pet ownership comes down to a simple, profound truth. “Any dog, any animal, is going to be a commitment. It’s your part to train the dog and work through their issues, and it’s your responsibility to make them a better dog and make sure they’re getting everything they need to be the best version of themselves. You can’t give up on them.” l
Avery Frederick, a coordinator with Saving Hope Animal Rescue, found a true friend in Palmer, a dog she first set out to only foster.

TO ALL INTERESTED PERSONS AND PARTIES:
Nouryon Surface Chemistry LLC has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for Renewal of Air Quality Permit Number 4691, which would authorize continued operation of the Nouryon Surface Chemistry Fort Worth located at 611 East Northside Drive, Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas 76164. Additional information concerning this application is contained in the public notice section of this newspaper.
going to have to search harder online. You might even have to have them shipped from abroad, which means you might want to get that order placed well before Santa starts his run. Unfortunately, the North Pole didn’t qualify this cycle. Elves are apparently better at building toys than building out of the back.
Something else to consider: There are no guarantees that your favorite team will play in Arlington. We know for sure that none of the host nations will play here before the knockout rounds, so what if you do end up with tickets to a game but didn’t think to have purchased a kit from either of the participants, like, say,
for a Ghana vs. New Zealand or Cape Verde vs. Paraguay matchup? Well, why not rep the local team? The Fort Worth Vaqueros/ Vaqueras have jerseys and season tickets on sale at FortWorthVaqueros.com. They recommend you order by Mon, Dec 15, to ensure delivery before Christmas.
Certainly, you don’t have to go with wearables. A number of locations, including Arlington’s Soccer Post, Soccer City, and Soccer Planet, offer replica FWC trophies of varying sizes. And, of course, there’s the adidas TRIONDA Pro Official Match Ball. You can acquire one in a number of sizes, including the jumbo version that’s more than 2.5 feet in diameter. Soccer Post has one of those for sale for $320 plus tax. Yeah, it won’t really fit under a tree. And if you buy it, make sure you pick it up in Mom’s SUV, not that cute Fiat you bought when Italy won the Men’s World Cup in 2006. Speaking of history, there’s a boxed collection of mini-balls from every World Cup since 1970 at several of these outlets.
On the smaller end of the sizing spectrum, DICK’S Sporting Goods offers the ball in the form of a hacky sack — a super soccer stocking stuffer. (Say that three times fast.) In addition to selling general World Cup merchandise instore, they have a special online contest about to begin. DICK’S got Dominic Chambrone and his company, The Surgeon, to create a custom pair of sneakers by cutting up the official ball and adding panels from it to adidas Sambas. Each shoe has a different tongue, with one showcasing the TRIONDA ball graphic and the other bearing the 2026 FWC logo. Called the adidas Samba x TRIONDA, the limited-edition kicks are not for sale at retail, but you can try to win a pair for your special footy fan on the DICK’S App starting on Thu, Dec 4, at 9am.
One more note: The North Texas FWC Organizing Committee will host its official draw party at Billy Bob’s in the Stockyards on Fri, Dec 5, from 10am to 2pm. Admission is $10, and the information you gather might provide some clarity on exactly which obscure jersey you need to source in an XXL before Thu, Dec 25. l

With the FIFA Men’s World Cup coming to North Texas, stocking up on gear now is paramount for optimal soccer watching.
BY RUSH OLSON
So, you’re shopping for the striker, goalkeeper, or hooligan on your list. That soccer fan might be especially fired up about the sport because the FIFA Men’s World Cup will visit the region next year. We have thoughts on how to use the impending December gift-giving season to set up your loved ones for the big event like Messi setting up a winger making a run.
North Texas will have a substantial role to play next summer as Tarrant County hosts nine matches, the most of any metropolitan area. The first thing you may be thinking is, “I should get them tickets to a game!” Individual game tickets won’t go on sale until next year, but you can purchase multi-game hospitality packages at this stage. Official hospitality
provider On Location sells them online. Find the purchase link at the local host committee’s website, DallasFWC26.com.
Keep in mind, these are premium experiences in stadium clubs and suites, so expect to spend four figures and up. You can buy them for any of the host stadia across Canada, Mexico, and the United States. When booking,
don’t be confused when FIFA calls the local venue “Dallas Stadium.” Yes, that designation is approximately as made-up as “Santa Claus Stadium,” since it reflects neither the actual name nor the location of Arlington-based AT&T Stadium. It’s a global sponsorship thing.
Since sports tickets are pretty much exclusively virtual these days, maybe you’d prefer a FWC present you can wrap. You can, once again, start with the host city website and pick up hoodies, shirts, posters, and caps branded with the local FWC imagery. Once again, it’s Dallas-branded, and I do recognize that some Fort Worthians would have to lose a large wager to agree to be seen in something reading, “We Are Dallas.” Perhaps you’d prefer to wear your favorite team’s jersey? Well, there’s nuance to the shirt situation. Not all the official designs that viewers will see in competition on the pitches in 2026 have been released, nor will they be before the end of the year. But if you’re buying for a fan of one of the top nations, you’ll have no problem finding something representative of their team.
In particular, Mexico and USA gear abounds in a number of locations. At Soccer City in Arlington, they told me they generally stock the Top 10 or so countries, with the likes of Spain, Germany, and Brazil on the shelves. Soccer Post (previously the Soccer Corner) in the Arlington Highlands has the kits that adidas has released so far. They’ve also got the official FIFA World Cup caps. The nearby Academy Sports + Outdoors has a big World Cup display right in the front of the store, even

If you have a rooting interest in a team outside the best-known squads, it gets trickier. The likes of WorldSoccerShop.com can help with a small selection from mid-tier nations like Japan and Morocco, but if you’ve decided to get under the mistletoe with unexpected qualifiers like Uzbekistan or Curaçao, you’re continued on page 10

Here are some gift ideas from several sections of the Weekly.
Every Wednesday for the last 30 years or so, the Fort Worth Weekly has published a print newspaper with informative articles spanning several sections, including art, books, calendar, eats and drinks, music, news, screen, and sports. Check out these gift ideas from each department.
Art: Ornamental
One local artist got some unexpected attention last week when one of the large handmade ornaments she’d created for the massive tree in Sundance Square was stolen. This is why we can’t have nice things. Sigh. Arely Morales’ painted piñata in the shape of her late cat Gris was taken by a lady Grinch on Sunday but was safely returned and rehung by Wednesday. If you’re looking to get your hands on a piece of Morales’ art by legitimate means, her works can
be purchased primarily through Talley Dunn Gallery (5020 Tracy St, Dallas, 214-521-9898).
Books: A Tall Texas ‘Tail’
Since all we have to go on is the dust jacket copy, Jeff Guinn’s new novel, A Texas Tail (TCU Press), may be a great gift for the conservative in your life who reads something other than Breitbart and The Daily Stormer. (Does that kind
of conservative even exist?) The story centers on Plunk Landy, whose dreams are the same as most other middle-aged male Texans. He imagines owning a top-end Ford 150, watching the Dallas Cowboys finally end their Super Bowl drought, and finding some way to become important. Instead, Plunk’s life consists of a dead-end job, an addiction to televised sports and Fox News (what he thinks of as “dates” with himself), and no fame at all beyond a lingering reputation as an oddball in the Fort Worth suburb where he grew up and still lives. But when Plunk stumbles across a unique Halloween costume in a local shop, he suddenly finds himself on a path to obtaining everything he has ever yearned for — and maybe more. As “Tail Man,” he intends to conquer his home state, first, then blaze a proud Texas path across the rest of the country, especially through “woke snake pits” like Los Angeles and New
York City. Will Plunk’s dreams come true, or will he learn, as have many before him, that the worst fate in life is almost getting everything you’ve always wanted? The hardcover is $35.99 at TCUPress.TCU.edu.
Eats & Drinks: Fruit Is ‘Magickal’
Certain members of your family may love the traditional holiday gift of fruits and nuts. Two local businesses specialize in these sorts of provisions: Green’s Produce & Plant (3001 W Arkansas Ln, Arlington, 682-564-0786) and Vending Nut Company (2222 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, 817-737-3071). From readymade gift baskets to plenty of fodder for continued on page 13
This past year, United Way of Tarrant County supported more than 400,000 North Texas residents — and the need continues to grow. Families are counting on us, and we’re counting on you.
Jeff Guinn’s new novel, A Texas Tail, may be perfect for the non-illiterate conservative in your life. (Good luck finding one!)

Music: Caress Me Down
If your favorite band shirt has seen better days, local crafters Zombie Killer Designs (@ ZombieKillerDesigns) can help.

Case in point: the Sublime project pictured here. For local band merch and product ideas, check out this week’s Music feature.
Speaking of Sublime, they just made a big announcement. The Sublime Me Gusta Festival will make its debut in Fort Worth on Sat, May 9, at Panther Island Pavilion (395 Purcey St, Fort Worth, 817-335-2491). This new event marks the beginning of a national
festival series built around the band. Taking its name from the iconic lyric “Me gusta mi reggae, me gusta punk rock,” the festival embodies everything Sublime stands for: sun-soaked vibes, rebellious spirit, and a love for music without boundaries. Tickets would make a great present for, well, me. General admission starts at $89.99 at MeGustaFest.com.
News: This Just In
Beyond our own Metropolis section, I prefer to consume my hard-hitting news the traditional way: via late-night television on Comedy Central. But that’s me. As the famous line in Steel Magnolias goes, “Spoken like a true smart ass.” I also really love The Onion. While I mostly follow their stories on social media and their website, I was excited to learn recently that they are still doing a print product. (Like we keep telling you, print is not dead!) Subscriptions are normally $99 per year, but
for a limited time, it’s $75 total or $7 per month at Membership.TheOnion.com.
The Onion website will remain freely available to “every callous reader who refuses to surrender their credit card information,” but if you’d like to make a donation, they will gladly run your card for any number you can imagine.
Screen: Gifts for Film Lovers
Texas-based cinema company Alamo Drafthouse, with its closest location at Rayzor Ranch Town Center (3220 Town Center Tr, Denton, 940-441-4233), just launched a gift site for film lovers. Along with sections for apparel, accessories, curated collections, and items for your home and office, AlamoMart.com also includes a Gift Guide to help you with your choices. Things are broken down by options for beer lovers, kids, movie lovers, and stocking
stuffers, plus search options for under $20, $30, and $50. They even sell wrapping paper. Under home and office, I found this hand-poured Cinema Lens Candle by Film Society in Brooklyn for $35. This 100% vegan soy wax candle has notes of firewood, sage, and sandalwood and will burn for up to 35 hours.
Sports: Skating in the Stockyards
From now thru Sun, Jan 9, it’s time to head to the Stockyards as the annual Stockyards Rodeo Rink (121 E Exchange Av, Fort Worth, 817-625-1025) is up and running. Stop by for a 90-minute ice-skating session. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or FortWorthStockyards.com. The cost is $25 per adult and $20 per child. Family four-packs are available for $80. Skate rental is included. Passes would be a great way to be the #Funcle this year at Christmastime.

Holiday Game Guide A wealth of choices to help satisfy the gamer in your life awaits.
BY COLE WILLIAMS
The weather’s getting colder, the Game Awards are near, and websites are listing their top games of the year. That means it’s time to give you a guide of what to get the gamer in your life for the holidays.
Let’s start with the big addition to the gaming sphere this year. The Nintendo Switch 2 plays on your TV and in handheld mode just like the original Switch. It also has backward compatibility for almost all the first Switch’s games and a few killer apps to help sell it. Mario Kart World spices up the classic racing game to include an open world to explore between heats. Donkey Kong Bananza gives the titular gaming gorilla a giant underground world to explore and destroy. And for both systems, there’s Pokemon Legends Z-A, featuring more open-world creature catching, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, bringing back bounty hunter Samus for more first-person action and exploration.
Now, other game companies weren’t content to let Nintendo make all the money. Sony added some nice, new exclusives to the PS5’s library, with Ghosts of Yotei filling gamers’ samurai open-world craving, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for more open-world trekking and combat in a post-death world. And the remake wave continues with Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, letting you relive the third entry in the estimable series.
And still trudging along is the ol’ Xbox series X and S. Times have been hard for Microsoft’s console, but it still has a few mustplays. Doom: The Dark Ages continues the demonslaying FPS fun, while South of Midnight offers a mythical adventure in the Deep South. Finally, Avowed gave players a unique fantasy realm to roam.
Outside the realm of console exclusives, 2025 offered plenty of games for everyone. Open-world gamers had a wide array to choose from. Monster Hunter Wilds (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC) served up large areas to cooperatively hunt its titular creatures. Atomfall (PS4/5, Xbox One, Series X/S, PC) gave a Fallout fix with its post-apocalyptic Britain. The Outer Worlds 2 (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC) launched with a wry take on space exploration. Meanwhile for historical gamers, Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Now, other game companies weren’t content to let Nintendo make all the money.
II (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC) set forth in 1400s Bohemia, while Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, macOS, iPadOS) sneaked along in 16th-century Japan. And mixing open world with FPS, Dying Light: The Beast (PS4, 5, Xbox One, Series X/S, PC) gave players a new open world to parkour through and kill zombies in.
And speaking of the FPS player in your life, there’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (PS4/5, Xbox One, Series X/S, PC), which saw more praise for its multiplayer modes, less so for its campaign, as well as Battlefield 6 (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC), bringing its massive player battles to a more serious modern world. And Borderlands 4 (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC) delivered more looter-shooter fun to the planet Kairos.
Those wanting more straightforward challenges had a lot to look forward to. Ninja
Gaiden 4 (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC) brought the hardcore hack ’n’ slash series back after 13 years, and co-op gamers got Split Fiction, a scifi/fantasy two-player game from the makers of It Takes Two. Horror fans got Silent Hill F, (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC), delivering otherworldly frights in 1960s Japan.
This was also another year when indie games proved they can hit as hard as AAA titles. Blue Prince (macOS, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC) built acclaim with its roguelite mansion-building and exploration. Stretching what could be considered an indie game was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC), an RPG with unique turn-based combat and a fantastic story that may sweep the Game Awards this year. Hollow Knight: Silksong, the hotly anticipated sequel to 2017’s bug-themed metroidvania, finally launched this year on everything from macOS and Linux to the Switch 2 to great acclaim and fan hype. Hades 2 (macOS, Switch, Switch 2, PC) came with more hardcore, Greek myth-filled roguelite action.
And all these titles are just the start of what 2025 offered. Basically, if there’s a gamer in your life, there’s a game out there ready to light up their holidays. l
