My story

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

Male, 6 years old, 49 pounds

Personality: snuggler, quiet, affectionate, gentle, and calm.

Looking for a laid-back, snuggly companion who’d love to enjoy a quiet night in with you? Meet Jaxxson! This distinguished gentleman enjoys plenty of short walks during the day to get his steps in, but when he’s home, his favorite thing to do is snuggle up next to you on the couch for some R&R. Even when left alone in the house with the freedom to wander, his fosters usually come back to find him in the same spot that he was in when they left.

Jaxxson is a gentle soul who gets along well with humans of all ages. He currently lives with three adults and four children between the ages of 8 years and 11 months and is happy to accept pets from everyone. He’s even patient when the baby tries to pull his ears, simply moving away to a safe spot. (It’s all part of his master plan — he loves to wait under the baby’s chair during mealtimes in case a stray snack or two happens to drop down to him.)

Jaxxson is doing well with house training, walks well on a leash, and is trusted alone uncrated. Does this chill dude sound like a good fit for your home? Apply today to meet Jaxxson!

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats. To answer your questions about included vaccinations, spay/neuter, etc., the adoption process, and more please visit at www.citydogsrescuedc.org

If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, we are still accepting additional applications, as they sometimes fall through. If the animal is adopted by someone else, your application will be kept on file and you will not need to reapply for a different dog. Look at our available dogs and apply to adopt a dog at www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adopt-foster/adopt-a-dog/

Additional adoption info

1. Application: Interested adopters should fill out an application for the cat(s) or dog(s) you are interested in. Only one application is required, and it applies for all cats or dogs listed on your application. If you are interested in adopting both a cat and a dog, you must complete an application for each type of animal.

Important Note Regarding Timing: We screen all applications to find what we believe will be the best environment for each particular cat or dog. If we believe that we currently have a potential match for you, our typical response time is within a week. If you do not receive a response within two weeks, please assume that we have not been able to find a good match. Please do not interpret a lack of response as a belief by City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties that you would not be able to provide a loving home for a cat or dog.

2. Applications Counselor: Approved Applicants will be assigned a volunteer applications counselor, who will review the application and have a brief conversation with each applicant to determine his/her needs and preferences.

3. Reference Checks: If applicable, CDR&CK will call the applicant’s veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and well cared for.

4. Renters/Condo Owners: For renters, CDR&CK will check with an applicant's landlord to ensure that cats and/or dogs are permitted and that the cat or dog of interest wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions. We also review condo association rules regarding pets.
Home Visit: CDR&CK will visit each applicant’s home to see the environment where the cat or dog will live and answer any questions the applicant might have.

5. Adoption Contract: If the applicant is approved for adoption and decides to adopt the cat or dog, CDR&CK and the prospective adopter will enter into an adoption contract. The applicant will be required to pay an adoption fee, which helps cover our costs from spay/neutering (if age appropriate), microchipping, vaccinations and any other veterinary attention needed while in our care.

Adoption application
