My story

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

Meet Dusty: The Complete Package in a Lovable Pup

Sometimes a dog comes along who checks every box, and Dusty is that dog. This playful, loving, social boy has the kind of balanced energy that makes him adaptable to just about any lifestyle. He's ready for playtime, walks, and mental stimulation when you are, but he also knows how to settle and relax when it's time to wind down.

Dusty is already showing off some impressive skills. He knows sit and paw, and he's currently working on come and kennel. Thanks to his food and praise motivation, training is an absolute breeze with this smart boy. He takes treats gently, handles bath time and ear cleanings like a champ, and shows no issues with being handled, making vet visits and grooming a stress free experience.

His manners are wonderful. He's house trained, great with dogs, kids, and new people, and while he's happily excited when his people come home (as any good dog should be!), he rests comfortably in his kennel during the workday and overnight without fuss.
But perhaps the best part about Dusty? He's incredibly snuggly and pretty gentle, the kind of dog who will curl up beside you and make you feel like the most important person in the world. His sweet nature combined with his willingness to learn makes him the ideal companion for first time dog owners, experienced handlers, families with children, or anyone looking for a well rounded, affectionate friend.

Dusty would be great in any home environment. All he needs is someone ready to give him the love he's so eager to return tenfold. Could that someone be you?

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
