Story
**Rehoming!** Chantilly, VA Hey everyone! We are looking to rehome Luna, a 7 year old 35 lbs mixed-breed dog who spent years alone in a detached garage before we rescued. Since joining our family, Luna has received all her vaccinations, tested negative for heartworm, got microchipped, and is up-to-date on deworming. Although Luna is a sweetheart, she struggles with anxiety and dislikes crates. Therefore, we're searching for a new home where someone works from home to spoil her and give her the attention she craves. She's a quick learner, knows commands, and is fully potty trained. Luna loves children and would thrive in a home as the only pet or in a household with pets of similar laid back temperament. I am not sure how she will react with cats. A fenced yard is a must for her outdoor adventures lol. She loves sunbathing. We are unable to keep her due to our Mastiff's temperament. We don't want Luna to get hurt.

Story
We are looking to rehome an is between 7- 8 years old. She was with a family who neglected her and kept her in a detached garage only to be let out to use the bathroom. Our hopes was to keep her, however, our young Mastiff is too hyper for her and there have been a few situations where it's gotten dangerous for Luna. We are trying to prevent an accident between them two by keeping them seperated but its not working out.  Luna is so sweet and listens very well. She has anxiety and is now on mediciation. It seems to be helping but will need to take it everyday for the rest of her life. She gets along with kids and other dogs that match her laid back temperment.  She is not good with crates but we think it's due to her being in a cage for years. That being said she will thrive in a home where there is a fenced yard and with someone who works from home due to her separation anxiety.

She is still a little shy but is coming out of her shell.Britnee would love to be your lap dog and would love to be side always. She loves attention and will make sure you know it.

Libby

Basenji Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, 15 yrs
Baldwin, MD
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Libby was turned into the city shelter as a stray and was very thin and frail. She was bewildered in the shelter and needed to be in a home ASAP. FLFO stepped n and brought her here where she is thriving. She's gained weight and is very happy. But sadly, her initial exam with our veterinarian and bloodwork showed high liver values. Our vet did an ultrasound to find out what was happening and much to her and our astonishment, Libby has a 10cm tumor on her heart. She is not showing any symptoms of being sick but we know that her time is limited. She could live for one more day or one more year! We are currently looking for someone to foster Libby. FLFO offers a fospice program for which we now have a grant to cover her expenses. FLFO pays for all veterinary care and heartworm preventative. Libby is fully crate trained, sleeps through the night, and is very sweet. She walks well on a leash and loves to explore the yard. She is a little sight and hearing impaired but that does not stop her from getting around. Libby takes quite a while to adjust to new surroundings, pacing around and being generally unsettled. But once she's comfortable, she will sleep for several hours. Can you open your heart and home to a loving, deserving girl? We require a home visit so foster homes must be within 40 miles of Baldwin, MD

Atlas is a wonderful, loving dog that needs to be in a home without any other pets. He is not good with cats. He is a great companion, happy to sleep at your feet while you're working, happy to let you sleep in, if he gets to sleep in his bed on the floor next to you. He's been through a month of formal in-person training and is REALLY smart, he picks up commands almost immediately. He is beautiful to look at while he is running through his routines, you will be a proud parent! Great with kids, amazing hiking partner, loves to hug and cuddle, very loving.
