My story

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

Voodoo Queen ("Voo", Veuve Cliquot", "Veuvey") is a sweet, gentle, and playful little girl who loves snuggles, scritches, and treats more than anything. She’s smart, attentive, and looks to you for guidance. She knows SIT and STAY, and absolutely lights up when she hears “GOOD GIRL.” She may jump when excited, but settles quickly because all she really wants is to be close.



She’s making great progress with potty and crate training. She rarely has accidents and will use a pee pad as a back-up when needed. She’s still learning to feel fully confident in her crate and will occasionally whine when separated, but she’s getting better every day, especially with treats and reassurance. At night, she sleeps happily in bed with us for 6–8 hours without needing a break. She loves to nap at your feet and was calm during her bath.



She absolutely adores people — every person is her new best friend. She’s also wonderfully gentle and curious with other animals, including cats, dogs, and even squirrels (she mostly just tilts her head and watches them). On walks, she trots happily right by your side and gets wiggly with excitement when she sees another dog. She doesn't try to lead — she just wants to be part of the fun.



We go to Starbucks daily for pup cups with the neighborhood dogs I walk and dogsit, and Veuve is the happiest little social butterfly. She wiggles, snuggles, and greets everyone with a hopeful tail wag, like she’s inviting them to join her little fan club.



Voodoo Queen is a star in progress — affectionate, smart, eager to please, and full of love, with not a single diva tendency despite her name.



Adoption Day: November 29th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt.



Some pups may stick around until 11:00 AM for the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption information and applications can be found here: https://www.wtarescue.com/adoption-process-2

If you are chosen to adopt after the Meet & Greet process (https://www.wtarescue.com/meet-and-greets), be aware that all of our pets stay in foster care for a minimum of 3 weeks, and adoption finalization and Transfer Day will take place at the end of that foster period.

What are the requirements to adopt? There are no situational requirements other than that your current pet/pets need to be up-to-date on their vaccinations, as well as spay/neutered. This demonstrates responsible pet ownership.
Adopters must submit proof of visit with a veterinarian within 14 days of adoption.
If an adopted puppy is under 4 months of age, you must be in a situation where the puppy is not left unattended for >5 hours at a time.

Do you require home visits? No. Potential adopters are screened by their application, interviews by the foster, and the requirement of a Veterinary visit within 14 days. If you do not submit proof of a veterinary health visit within 14 days of adoption, your ownership of the animal is forfeited back to Wolf Trap Animal Rescue.

How can I see pictures of the puppies available? You can view them on our website at https://www.wtarescue.com/adopt-a-dog or https://www.wtarescue.com/adopt-a-cat.

How much is the adoption fee? The current adoption fee for puppies (under 2 years old) is $525. For adult dogs (over 2 years old), the fee is $485. The adoption fee for cats/kittens is $225. Adoption fees are payable by credit card only. This fee covers the cost of spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, deworming, flea/tick control, transport, food, and foster supplies - and it includes 30 days of pet insurance upon immediate activation.

More about this rescue

Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (WTAR) focuses efforts on rescuing high-risk animals from euthanasia, neglect, and abuse. These animals primarily come from Mississippi, where young animals are euthanized by the hundreds each and every day due to overpopulation. Lack of spay-neuter laws and large sections of rural land allow for free-roaming animals to reproduce, leading to a surplus of neglected, homeless, and starving puppies and kittens. These animals are then found and brought to local animal shelters, which simply cannot provide the care or homes these pets need in order to survive. Ultimately, they get euthanized for space or for illnesses contracted at the shelter.

There simply are not enough people to adopt.

We rescue these animals by operating a life-saving transport, foster, and adoption program. WTAR finds the pets who need us the most by employing a full-time transport coordinator on the ground in Mississippi (WTAR South), with the goal of working directly with these shelters and communities to be a resource when they cannot accept any more animals or find enough homes. These transports operate nearly weekly, relieving the shelters and communities from overcrowding and needless euthanasia. Redirecting the intake of young, at-risk animals from the shelter to WTAR allows additional time and resources to be spent on the older, less adoptable residents of the shelter that would otherwise be euthanized for space. Rescued animals are then scheduled and placed on emergency transport with WTAR to Northern Virginia. Upon arrival, they undergo an extensive veterinary intake evaluation and then are placed in foster homes until they find their forever homes through private Meet & Greets.
