Meet Masha!

If you’re looking for a dog who can keep up with your adventures and then happily crash on the couch with you afterward, Masha is your girl! This sweet, wiggly “velcro fur hippo” is the perfect mix of playful energy and snuggly companion.

Masha loves to play—whether that’s running around the yard, tossing a toy, or engaging in a goofy game with her doggie friends. She gets along well with other dogs and even cats, making her a wonderful fit for many kinds of families. Once she’s burned off her zoomies, she’s quick to switch into cuddle mode, climbing right into your lap as if she were born to be there.

One of Masha’s greatest joys is simply being with her people. She’s a “velcro pup” through and through, happiest when she can shadow you around the house and be part of whatever you’re doing. Whether you’re working from home, watching TV, or enjoying a quiet evening, Masha will be there, offering her company, her warmth, and her loyal heart.

She’ll thrive in a home where she can get regular exercise and playtime, followed by lots of opportunities for snuggling. A family or person who enjoys both activity and downtime will be a perfect match for her balanced personality.

With Masha, you’ll never be short on laughter, joy, or cuddles. She promises endless playtime, silly antics that will keep you smiling, and the very best snuggles you could ever ask for.

Are you ready to welcome Masha into your life? She’s more than ready to be your constant companion, your playmate, and your cuddle buddy all rolled into one!

More about this rescue

LOVEPAWS was founded as an animal intake prevention program to help keep pets in homes and out of shelters. To do this, we offer various types of assistance to pet owners including our pet food pantry and our re-homing service. We help find new homes for pets whose owners cannot keep them but do not want to surrender their pet to the shelter. While our focus is on Prince George’s County, MD, we offer these services to the entire DC Metro area.

Our scope and mission has grown quickly since we were founded in 2019 and we now pull dogs and cats from open-admission, high-intake shelters in MD, VA and other Southern states. This has expanded our rescue to be able to save dogs and cats of all breeds. Our expanded mission is to save the lives of abandoned dogs and cats and place them in loving and permanent homes. While we are a non-breed-specific rescue, we are a pittie-friendly rescue that has a soft spot for the pit bulls at the Prince George’s County animal shelter. They face the heartbreaking reality of the county’s pit bull ban which makes them unavailable for adoption to the public. We are committed to stepping forward whenever we can and wherever there is the greatest need.

LOVEPAWS is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are an exclusively foster-based rescue with our foster network spanning MD, DC, and VA.
