Meet Twix. This handsome Bully boy was found tied to a pole as a very young pup. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan saw him, took him in, and ensured he found his way to rescue. Twix has proven to be a vibrant, sweet, and smart boy, and we are thrilled to help him find his forever home.
Twix is currently living with seasoned fosters, Laura and Brian, along with their resident dog, Buddy. Before arriving in the DC metro area, he lived happily in a home with four other dogs. He’s been an easy introduction to every dog he’s met and truly loves being part of a pack.
Playful and social, Twix thrives in an active environment and especially enjoys rough-and-tumble play. He’ll do best in a home with a dog his size or larger who matches his energy and play style.
FOSTER MOM UPDATE
Laura shared, “Twix is doing great! He settled in quickly, and we love having his fun and loving personality around. He has done a good job acclimating to Buddy, and I think he’s best paired with a medium energy-level dog that would play with him throughout the day. Buddy plays but only when he wants to, so Twix doesn't mind lounging around. He does a good job keeping himself occupied with toys, and I have no problem working from home every day. He settles down well.
Twix is a very sweet boy who loves his belly rubs, playing chase, and tug-of-war is his favorite game. He does great at meeting new people and will talk to you from time to time. It’s the cutest thing.”

Twix has shown himself to be adaptable and eager to learn. He’s housetrained, crate-trained, and has started mastering basic commands. He rides well in the car and is a social boy who enjoys meeting new people and other dogs. He has decent leash skills and has been through some training to improve his leash skills. Twix is very treat-motivated and learns quickly.
We believe that Twix will do best in an active home. He’d thrive with a family who appreciates his fun and goofy personality and is committed to giving him the structure and love he deserves. While he loves the company of other dogs, Twix would also be happy as the center of attention in a single dog home, provided he has plenty of interaction and activity.
This lovable boy has so much to offer and is ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to his new family. If you’re looking for a loyal, active, and playful companion, Twix might just be the perfect fit for you.

Thank you for considering adoption and choosing to save a dog’s life!
Adding a dog to your family is a rewarding and life-changing experience. Dogs enrich our lives and have the amazing ability to give and receive love unconditionally. They can be your loyal companion and friend, and a watchful playmate for your kids, but they are also a serious, long-term commitment. They will depend on you for their health and well-being, and require an investment of love, time, and money for the rest of their life.
As you search for your new dog, please remember that there is no shortage of dogs who need saving. There are far more dogs waiting to be adopted than people who are willing to adopt them, so if the dog in the picture who you’ve imagined bringing home isn’t available, there are thousands more amazing, loving dogs just hoping for the chance to be your dog. We ask that you keep an open mind, stay flexible, and we will do our best to work with you to find a great match for your family.
We strongly encourage anyone thinking about adopting a dog to do your research and make sure you are prepared for the commitment. If you have thought about what’s required and are ready to adopt, here’s what you can expect when you apply to adopt a dog from Worthy Dog Rescue.
Worthy Dog Rescue cannot guarantee that the dog you apply for will be available once you have been approved. We do our best to work with adopters and meet your needs, but we do not adopt dogs on a first-come, first-serve basis. All applications are screened to determine the most suitable match for the dog and the adopter. We want to place dogs in good homes as quickly as possible, so the dog can start their new life with their family, and we can free up their foster home to save another dog in need.
We understand how easy it is to become attached to a dog you’ve found online, but sometimes the dog you apply for may already be scheduled to meet another adopter, or it may not be the best fit for your home for a variety of behavioral reasons. Our dogs are fostered by one of our volunteers, living in their home as part of their family. This allows us to get to know the dog, what they need, their level of socialization, and the type of home that will best suit them.
Our goal is to place dogs in loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. We take great care in finding good matches for our dogs and adopters too. We look forward to working with you to find the dog that will be with you and your family for many years to come.
