PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE DOG ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ Location: Foster Home Adoption Coordinator: Kristen J. Stella is a somewhat shy and nervous dog, but once you've been able to hang out with her, her sweet side really starts to shine through! Ideally, Stella's perfect home would be one in which the owners were looking for a companion dog who wants to take them on walks or hikes, but chooses to go out to meet friends and socialize instead of entertaining in their home as she does not prefer to meet a lot of strangers. She is house trained and crate trained, and well behaved in her home. When her people come home, Stella would love to just snuggle with them on the couch. REWARDS program: -$500 FOR FOSTER OR ADOPTER (to be paid after 60 days in home) ADOPTER WILL GET: -All supplies -No adoption fee -Lifetime dog trainer support -Dog food for 6 months The adoption fee for this dog is WAIVED. This fee INCLUDES spay/neuter and microchip. We are proud to partner with the following veterinarians who offer a free first exam for your animal, exclusively for HT adopters: Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Palisades Veterinary Clinic, Sunshine Animal Hospital and Clarendon Animal Care and all VCA Animal Hospitals. Additionally, any VCA hospital will cover illnesses up to $250 at no cost to any Homeward Trails adopter. We also provide free online workshop with a professional dog trainer at Fur-Get Me Not within the first 30 days of adopting - just for HT adopters in the Arlington/Alexandria/Falls Church/DC area. Start your new dog out on the right foot with this valuable, expert guidance FREE! You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.

Story
sweet older girl ISO fresh start and love TUTTI NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Tutti         Best Guess for Breed: Boxer mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of September 2023        SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight:  38 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen her with kids or cats but she can be tested.   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home.   Tutti is Looking For:   You know, most dogs that arrive in the shelter don't come with a back story. You can only look at them and guess. Looking at Tutti, it looks like she's been bred. She isn't a young'un barely out of puppyhood. That's the physical part. The emotional part? Whatever her past was like, she has firmly closed that chapter. Tutti is just so sweet and so eager to start her new life, to get her own loving family. She's ready to explore the neighborhood - the local parks - the world - with her humans. Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed would be nice too. But you know what? She's lived enough to know what's important, and she just wants to be safe and loved.  She has stored up a pretty good quantity of adoring looks and tail wags for her new family and promises loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Are you the soft landing this girl deserves? What My Foster Says About Me:  We will update this once she has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with her foster.  Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online   at   bit.ly/adoptaluckydog  .   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament. Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!  Please visit us online at      www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!     Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs! To learn about fostering, please contact fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org! BE A SPONSOR!!!!     Sponsors help Lucky Dog support the many dogs we save. To learn more about sponsorship, please contact     info@luckydoganimalrescue.org   ! December 2, 2023, 11:08 am

Thank you for saving a life! ________________________________________________________________________ If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon. Apply for a DOG: http://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adoptable-dogs.html Interested in saving more lives? Foster a dog today! Learn more, see our list of dogs needing foster, and apply, https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/foster-a-city-dog.html 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 (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model). Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis. Most cats and dogs will have a house-training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained. We also update our Facebook page daily with new cats and dogs.

Story
Hi everyone!  My name is Raven, and I am a 10 month old beautiful Boxer mix girl that is approximately 45 lbs. and I am full of love and cuddles for every person I meet.  I love to play tug with a toy and then when I am tired, I like to snuggle.  I am a climber and they say I am part “squirrel” as I sometimes try to climb trees, so a privacy fence or leash walk is a must for me.  I get along well with other dogs but am too boisterous for cats and bunnies.  I am working on better manners as I leash walk and basic commands with my foster mom.  I am crate trained and housetrained, I am spayed, microchipped and all of my vaccinations are up to date.  If you would be interested in a sweet Boxer mix girl like me, I hope to see you soon at the other end of an adoption.   Please email about me to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.December 1, 2023, 11:14 pm

Story
Please contact Kallie Brennan (kallieb@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.It's about darn time for this pup to find her forever home!! LIZZO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!  Name:  Lizzo       Best Guess for Breed:  Boxer and pointer mix   Best Guess for Age:  8 months as of October 2023    SEX:   Female   Approximate Weight: 44 lbs as of 10/1/23; she is still growing.    Gets Along With:    She does well with other dogs! We have tested her with children and while she did well with them, to our knowledge she has not lived with them. We do not recommend her for a home with cats.    Currently Living at:  DC area foster home.   Check out these videos of Lizzo: https://youtu.be/3MZh08TKPLU, https://youtu.be/hyEIHGUurOI, https://youtu.be/XZaMGmnASo0.  Lizzo is Looking For:  Her forever family! This sweetie is barely out of puppyhood and she hasn't seen nearly enough of the world yet. She's eager to experience new places, people, and pups! Long sniffy walks, romps in the park, all the adventures her new humans can dream up - yes, please! And definitely play time and lots of snuggles too! She has also added 'variety of toys, quality kibble, and cushy dog bed' to her wish list. Dog school would be great, too, so she can show how super smart she is.But what she wants most of all is to know she's safe and loved and under her own roof. In exchange, she promises loyal companionship, adoring gazes, and tail wags.  What do you say? Is that what you're looking for too? What My Foster Says About Me:  'Lizzo is a very active sweet dog. She loves to chase squirrels, falling leaves, and a thrown ball. She has a very healthy appetite. She sits on command and we are working on the stay command. We are also working with her on the leash and she is definitely a quick learner.' Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young girl eager for fresh start and love! CHARLYN NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:   Charlyn       Best Guess for Breed:    Boxer and pointer mix   Best Guess for Age:  1.5 years as of October 2023      SEX:   Female   Approximate Weight:  38 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen her with kids or cats but she can be tested.    Currently Living at:   South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get her freedom ride up here.   Special adoption considerations: Charlyn is a truly Lucky Dog!  She tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites.  Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the adoption counseling process.   Charlyn is Looking For:   Her forever home! This sweetie hasn't seen nearly enough of the world. She is eager to burn all that awesome young-dog energy on long sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures her humans can dream up. She'd also love opportunities to make new pup pals!Most of all, she wants to know she's safe and loved and under her own roof - to know what life as a well-loved dog is. And upon whom to bestow all the adoring gazes, tail wags, and kisses she's stockpiling. Maybe even while on your lap?What do you say? Is Charlyn the companion you've been seeking? What My Foster Says About Me:  We will update this once she has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with her foster.    Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:    The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.
