Story
Meet Chip, a delightful puppy with a heart full of joy. He's friendly, sweet, and always ready to make you laugh with his playful antics. Curious about everything, Chip loves exploring and learning new tricks. He's house trained and sleeps quietly through the night in his crate. A fan of fetch, he'll eagerly chase after his favorite toys. Chip adores children and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him a perfect family companion. His fosters shared that he loves to walk their kids to and from the bus stop and everyone including the bus driver say "HI" to him. He loves greeting other dog in the neighborhood, even laying down and "army-crawling" to meet them. Adopt Chip and fill your home with love and laughter!

Story
Meet Bastian: Your New Best Friend in the Making! Bastian is a darling love bug with a big heart and an even bigger supply of tail wags. This sweet boy seems to believe that everyone he meets is a future friend—people, dogs, and anyone willing to offer a little attention. During outings to PetSmart and Lowe’s, he handled the busy environments beautifully, happily greeting new faces with warmth, confidence, and plenty of affection. Bastian is still learning his leash manners and may pull a bit, but he responds well to gentle correction and is eager to do the right thing. He did not bark or whine during his outings, and while he is still getting used to new surroundings, he does not seem easily rattled. If something surprises him, he may give a small hop—but then he comes right back looking for reassurance and love. One of Bastian’s most endearing moments came when he climbed into his handler's lap, settled in, and peacefully fell asleep. He is affectionate without hesitation and seems to take comfort in being close to his people. Based on what has been observed so far, Bastian may do well with dog-friendly cats and children, especially with proper introductions and a family ready to help him continue building confidence. If you are looking for a loving companion who is ready to explore the world by your side, greet life with a wagging tail, and curl up for a cozy nap when the adventure is done, Bastian may be the perfect match. This gentle, affectionate boy is ready for a forever home where he can be cherished, guided, and loved the way he deserves. HART Homepage: https://hart90.org/ Questions About this Animal?

Zoey is a love! She is just the right balance of playful and gentle. She can self entertain, but also loves to snuggle. She is super friendly with kids and other dogs. She is currently in a home with cats and she is trying to engage with the cats to play, but the cats aren't interested (much to her disappointment). Zoey is fully house trained, sleeps all night in her crate and walks nicely on leash. However, she will let you know when she spies a squirrel! Please let us know if you would like to meet Zoey!

Story
Meet Echo! Your Sweet, Playful Little Lovebug!At just 7–8 months old and 26 pounds, Echo is a beautiful Collie mix with a heart as sweet as they come! This spayed young lady has so much love to give and is the perfect combination of playful puppy and gentle companion. She is house-trained, crate-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and sleeps peacefully in her crate all night long. What a good girl!Echo loves toys and bones of all kinds, and she's happy to play fetch in the backyard—at least until one of her canine friends comes along to join the fun! She currently lives with three other dogs and enjoys playing with them. She's still learning her doggy manners and that not every pup wants to share their favorite toys, but she's eager to learn and ready to keep growing. A friendly canine companion could be a wonderful match for this affectionate girl!Of course, Echo knows that life isn't all about playing. She loves curling up in her favorite dog bed and enjoying some downtime throughout the day. She's gentle with both adults and children and is famous for giving the very best wet kisses! Echo has an adorable underbite that adds to her unique charm, but it doesn't slow her down one bit. She eats, drinks, plays, and happily enjoys her nightly treat like any other pup.Echo would make a wonderful addition to a family with another friendly dog looking for a sweet, playful companion. She could also thrive as an only dog with a family ready to give her plenty of love, attention, and opportunities to play.If you're looking for a loving young dog who will make you laugh, keep you company, shower you with kisses, and fill your days with puppy fun, Echo is ready to steal your heart! Could you be the one to give this adorable girl the forever home she's dreaming of?  Adoption fee includes: first 2 DAPP, bordetella, deworming, flea preventative, sterilized, heartworm test, microchip Adoption fee: $525.00   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Snuggles fetch and food!  What do these things have in common?  Ranger!  These just happen to be his most favorite things!  If you too love puppy snuggles then he’s the guy for you.   After a seemingly never ending game of fetch, Ranger will happily settle down and chill with a chew bone or even better a nap snuggled up next to his favorite person.   Food is up next on his list of faves, which makes him an ideal candidate for training! He loves to learn and picks up new skills so quickly.  All he needs is a new family to continue his education. It’s hard to believe this adorable guy was taken to a shelter in SW VA after being hit by a car and no one claimed him.  After being cleared by a vet he was able to be transferred to Mutts for a chance at a better life!  It’s taken some time for us to really get to know him but after spending quality time in not one, but two foster homes (he’s so popular two foster families are sharing his time!), we’ve discovered what an amazing boy Ranger is! To note, Ranger can be uncomfortable and reactive to some dogs while on leash.  We feel with the right fear free training, time and patience, this can be managed and improved.  Ranger has had some good play sessions with female dogs and was able to coexist in a foster home with calm, female dogs.  At this time it is best for Ranger to live in a single family home with a fenced yard where his interactions around other dogs can be managed.  He is able to go for walks with a plan and lots of treats for distractions.  Trust us when we say this love bug will be worth all the extra effort! Ranger is 40lbs and 2 yrs old.  **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org. Upcoming adoption events:          Saturday Oct 31st 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston Saturday Nov 7h 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Hwy; Fairfax VA  22030  Saturday Nov 14th 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston Saturday Nov 21st  12-3pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Hwy; Fairfax VA 22030     Saturday Nov 28th  12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston     We are always desperate for foster homes, now more than ever. If you are interested in fostering, please complete an application... unless you are a previous adopter/foster, then you can just contact us via phone (703-988-2608) or email (adopt@muttloverescue.org) to tell us which dog you want to foster!    For information on sponsoring this dog, please write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.   WE NEED FOSTER HOMES!

She is a wonderful mama. Selena is heartworm positive (not contagious) and will need treatment that we will provide. Notes from the foster: Selene is a super-sweet mama with a gentle, trusting heart and an adorable little streak of independence. She’s eager to please and loves being around her people. After raising her eight beautiful puppies in a committed home, she’s ready for a family of her own where she can be loved and spoiled. Selene is quite curious about the resident kitties, but she hasn’t yet earned back her off-leash visitation privileges, so the jury is still out on whether she’s truly cat-friendly. When it comes to people and dogs, though, Selene is definitely a lover, not a fighter. ❤️ If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: elenahtar@gmail.com PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you!

PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you! We will connect you to their foster! LOCATION: Foster home ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org) ADOPTION FEE: $595-720 ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 45 lbs ESTIMATED AGE: 2 months as of the end of October KNOWN WITH DOGS: Kimberly’s pups are all quite lovely and doing great in foster. Some have foster siblings and others do not but they all seem to truly enjoy other dogs! KNOWN WITH CATS: Unknown but most puppies do quite nicely when growing up with cats in the home. KNOWN WITH KIDS: These pups are smart cookies and love children. Due to their herding breed, they may display herding/nipping traits as they get older – we cannot predict. So they may do best in homes without young children. KNOWN COMMANDS: Still working on this as they are still quite young and new to us! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: These pups are doing well on using puppy pee pads and getting used to being crated. As with all pups, they will take patience to learn the ropes but they are quite smart and we feel they’ll be great students! KNOWN LIKES: People! Playtime! Nap time! Toys! KNOWN DISLIKES: Not sure of any just yet ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Kimberly’s pups are adorable fluffballs and Kimberly herself is a lovely, friendly mom. They will be smart adult dogs with potential herding instincts, although they are true adorable mutts so traits will likely be mild. Aussies are known to be super smart, athletic and people-loving dogs.
