Story
Meet Cyrus! 💕 At 1 year old and just over 30 pounds, Cyrus is the perfect-sized package of sweetness — complete with some seriously spectacular ears! Cyrus is one of those wonderfully easy dogs who is affectionate without being clingy. She loves attention and happily returns your affection, but she’s also independent and perfectly content to relax on her own. Her foster describes her as “such a perfect dog” — and it’s easy to see why. She’s a superstar in the house, too. Cyrus can be left alone for a full workday without accidents, gets along with people and other dogs, and her foster has never even heard her bark! She responds beautifully to gentle correction and is easily redirected. Cyrus is still gaining confidence out in the world. She enjoys leisurely walks where she can stop and sniff, and sometimes pauses when something feels unfamiliar. A little kind encouragement is usually all she needs to keep going. She’s also working on “sit” and “come” and continues to make progress. If you’re looking for a quiet, sweet, easygoing companion who will happily return all the love you give her, Cyrus might just be your girl. 🐾❤️

Story
I am pretty sure my rescuers were HUNGRY when they named us. Cashew is my name and I am as delightful as a sweet n nutty n salty treat. My babies were named after food too! Who names puppies Chicken, Banana and Raisin?? Hungry rescuers! When we were found, we were HUNGRY TOO! We were "living" at a gas station in the 90 to 100 degree temperatures and unbelievable flooding. 🌧 We are SURVIVORS! As mama to this crew I was so very scared for our safety but was also scared of the people helping us... fast forward to today! I love my people and my babies are growing and finding their own homes. It's my turn now! I am a good girl, great size of 30# and a heart full of love and adventure! Adopt me soon!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
To learn more about Kane please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Kane will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Meet Kane, a handsome Lab/Basenji mix with one very special talent: he absolutely loves people. ❤️ Kane is looking for a new home where he can finally settle in, feel secure, and become someone’s much-loved companion. He’s a people-oriented boy who genuinely enjoys human company and would be so happy to have a family of his own to love. Kane has been observed around cats and had chosen to ignore them and go about his business. Kane is ready for his next chapter. He doesn’t need anything complicated — just kind people, a safe place to land, and the chance to discover how wonderful it feels to truly belong. If you’ve been hoping for a sweet companion who will be genuinely happy to see you, Kane may be the one waiting for you. Give this lovely boy the fresh start he deserves.

Brisky

Cattle Dog Basenji

Male, Young
Bowie, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Brisky is the kind of dog who wins hearts fast. This sweet, loving boy immediately earned the love and respect of his foster family, and its easy to see why. He's house-trained, food-motivated, great on walks, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Brisky is looking for a home that can match his mild-to-medium energy level. He loves his toys, enjoys spending time outdoors, and is just as happy curling up on the couch for a movie night. While he's a little timid around children, he isn't unfriendly; he simply prefers slow introductions and would do best in a home without young kids. Not much of a barker, Brisky still takes his job as household protector seriously and will make you feel both loved and safe. He's smart, eager to learn, and with a few treats, hell probably have some entertaining party tricks mastered in no time. If you're looking for a loyal companion who can brighten a room, keep you company on adventures, and snuggle up for a cozy night in, Brisky may just be your perfect match. My Profile Age: 1 1/2 years Weight: 47 pounds Good with kids: Yes, kids over 12 Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Unknown Fenced yard: No Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: Yes House trained: Yes. Activity level: Low-Medium Meet Me If you are interested in Brisky, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application. Please consult our Adoption FAQ before contacting us. Please check the adoption-show-attendees page to see if Brisky will be attending the next adoption show. NOTE: We are an all volunteer group and do not operate a shelter. All of our animals are in foster homes. If you are not local to the DMV area, but are interested in one of our adoptable pets, that's okay. If you're approved to adopt, we can work out the geography!
