    Cane Rosso to the Rescue

    Cane Rosso kingpin turns ambitions toward dog rescue with new adoption center

    Jay Jerrier is best known as owner-founder of the Cane Rosso restaurant chain, but his latest opening does not serve pizza.

    Cane Rosso Rescue is a rescue center dedicated to pointers and Vizslas, the breeds that Jerrier has owned and has been rescuing for the past two years. Jerrier is so committed to the cause that he's leased a space in Carrollton that'll serve as an adoption center, with an opening set for this spring.

    A lifelong dog lover, Jerrier and his wife Karen adopted their first Vizsla in 1998; "Cane Rosso" means "red dog" in Italian.

    "We found this woman in Louisiana, she had a retired show dog she wanted to find a good home," he says. "Vizslas are not common and there's a kind of community that keeps tabs when one shows up in a shelter."

    They slowly got sucked into the rescue world, helping out with donations, networking, and finding fosters. Slowly they accumulated more dogs. Their menagerie expanded to German short hairs and English pointers, members of the same family.

    His family currently has two Vizslas, three English pointers, and one German short hair. "They're the pointy dogs that are affectionate and friendly," he says.

    Then came the same inevitable predicament that every rescue organization experiences: More dogs, more requests, and not just in Dallas but Austin, San Antonio, Waco, Louisiana, Houston, Corpus Christi, Oklahoma, and Arizona. Whenever a Vizsla or pointer shows up at a shelter, Jerrier has unwittingly found himself on a short list of people who get called. Sudden road trips to pick up a dog in dire straits are not uncommon.

    "It starts to get overwhelming, and while Facebook is useful, it also makes it worse," he says. "It's no longer that you hear about dogs by word of mouth, but you see all these dogs in desperate situations."

    Abandoned pointers are especially plentiful in Texas because Texas has hunters.

    "You have these hunters who dump them or turn them loose when they get old or tired or don't hunt — they treat them like a piece of equipment," he says. "These are a high-energy breed that needs a lot of attention. When we adopted our first German short hair, I used to pray for him to fall asleep. But they're the sweetest dogs, once they get to be three years old, they're incredibly loyal and affectionate."

    Located at 1421 W. Main St. in Carrollton, the center will provide space for about a dozen animals who can be socialized and therefore more enticing for potential adopters. It has offices, kennels, a meeting room, and play yard. Jerrier has acquired his 501c3 status, a necessity for any legitimate rescue operation, and hired someone to oversee the program. There'll be a trainer at the facility who will trade services for free office space. And while they won't have a veterinarian on-site, Jerrier has established a network of vets with whom he works.

    He's also working with Collin County students and members of the lacrosse team, for which his daughter plays, who will fulfill their community service requirements by volunteering at the rescue and possibly even fostering dogs.

    "It's a lot to take on but it's something I’m passionate about, and I figure, why not put my money to good use," he says. "Hopefully, we can get the dogs in and then get them out and adopted. That's the goal."

    ---

    On Monday March 21, Cane Rosso will donate 100 percent of its sales from its Deep Ellum branch to the Beaumont Humane Society, which suffered a fire on March 15.

    License Plate News

    Dallas car buyers get metal license plates stat under new Texas law

    Texas license plate

    A new state law will go into effect in Texas that makes it easier for car owners to get permanent metal license plates: The new law, House Bill 718, was actually passed by the 88th Legislature in 2023, but it goes into effect on July 1, 2025. It will allow car dealers to begin issuing metal license plates directly when they sell a car, whether it's new or used.

    In the previous needlessly elaborate process, new car owners would receive a temporary paper license, and then apply for metal license plates. The new law will eliminate that requirement, allowing car buyers to get metal license plates when they purchase a car from a dealer.

    The new law arose out of the huge imbroglio over temporary paper tags, which were designed to be used on a temporary basis while car buyers waited to receive their permanent plates. But scammers were obtaining car dealer licenses, then printing up hundreds of thousands of temporary paper tags and selling them to people hoping to avoid paying for insurance and car registration.

    The paper tags gave Texas a black eye because they became a crime problem not just in Texas but nationally, turning up on cars involved in crimes in Texas, New York, and beyond. In a 2021 investigation, the FBI found more than a half-million fraudulent paper tags, sold by just three people to buyers across the country.

    Bill 718 was initially designed to go into effect in September 2023, then March 2025, but the final bill bumped the deadline back to July 1, 2025. That's thanks to The Texas Independent Automobile Dealers Association, who were "concerned" about having an adequate supply of metal plates in such a short time frame. Let's hope they got it together!

    The new rules are as follows:

    Buying from a Dealer: Consumers purchasing a vehicle from a Texas dealer will receive metal license plates instead of paper temporary tags, driving off the lot with their plates already in place.

    Until their registration sticker arrives from their county office, customers must keep their buyer’s plate receipt in the vehicle to be able to verify the purchase and pending registration to law enforcement.

    Trading In a Vehicle: When consumers sell or trade in a vehicle with general issue plates, dealers may transfer the plates to another vehicle sold within 10 days, if the plates match the appropriate vehicle type, per Senate Bill 1902, passed by the 89th Legislature this year. (Consumers with specialty license plates will keep their plates.)

    Buying/Selling a Vehicle in a Private Sale: The private party sales process remains unchanged: Sellers should remove their license plates and registration sticker from the vehicle when they deliver the vehicle to the buyer. The seller can request to transfer the plates to another vehicle they own—if appropriate for the vehicle type—by visiting their county tax assessor-collector's office.

    Sellers should submit a Vehicle Transfer Notification to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles within 30 days of the sale of the vehicle.

    Buyers must submit a title and registration application at their county tax assessor-collector’s office and obtain new plates to register the vehicle in their name within 30 days of purchase.
