My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Star and Peanut came in together and are two of the cutest and sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. Whatever you do please try not to laugh or giggle when meeting them. Yes...they are a little odd with their wire hair coats that stand up end to end and their short little legs trying to hold up their 40 pound bodies, but they have no idea they are funny looking. They are very playful and within minutes will to try to outdo each other to be your best friend. They do not have to be adopted together but you might consider this when you see them playing together and the special bond they do have. Both are black and tan and were born Dec. 2015. Because they are still young they do have some learning to do with regard to leash walking, house training, sits and stays, etc. but they are eager to learn. Come and see for yourself why we think these two cuties are so special.

To see Star and Peanut by APPOINTMENT ONLY, submit an online dog adoption application at http://hsfc.org/adoptions/applications/online/. An adoption counselor will contact you--typically within three business days--to discuss with you the type of dog you are looking for and to see whether we have a good match for you. Our counselor will discuss the next steps afterward.

Our dogs and horses are NOT at the HSFC shelter at 4057 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax, VA--only our cats, birds, rabbits, and small mammals can be visited there. Come by and see us!
