Story
Currently fostered in: Brooklyn Park, MD ❤️Meet Elliana — a silky-soft sweetheart with the most irresistible puppy dog eyes❤️ With her super loving personality, Elliana is the kind of pup who can charm anyone. She truly thrives on being close to her humans. In fact, if there’s a lap nearby, Elliana will almost certainly be the first one to climb right in! Elliana is the brave and vocal one of the bunch. She loves playing and exploring with her siblings, enjoying a good snack, and soaking up as many snuggles as possible throughout the day. After a full day of adventures and cuddles, she settles down easily and sleeps soundly through the night. Her affectionate nature and brave temperament mean she’s going to grow into an absolutely wonderful companion. Right now, Elliana is busy learning all the important puppy skills — potty training, “sit,” and figuring out that not everything should be chewed by those curious little teeth. Because she’s still young, she’ll do best with patient, present adopters who can guide her as she grows. With love, structure, and a little time to blossom, Elliana is sure to become a loyal and loving best friend. VETERINARY CARE Elliana is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and receiving heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives along with routine parasite treatments. Ready to help this cutie learn just how fun life is? Apply today!

Story
House trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Noise level: Barks occasionally My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Vela are the hilarious sounds she makes to communicate with her people! I never knew a dog with such vocal range! Likes: Riding in the car, going for walks, taking naps Hi Im Vela! My foster family describes me as incredibly pleasant and good natured. What a glowing review, right?? They also say Im friendly and easy-going, up for any kind of adventure, and the perfect balance of sassy and sweet! At home Im a very well-behaved girl. I like to keep watch over things, and let my people know if anything suspicious (like a squirrel is approaching the perimeter). But dont worry, my foster family says Im not loud or disruptive, just an alerter! I never chew things up, Im good in my crate overnight and during the day, and Im okay with staying home alone too. Im very polite with sharing my food and toys with humans, and I respect boundaries and am a good listener! Im a curious girl, and I like to see what everyone is up to around the house, but Im not clingy. My foster family says Im the ideal blend of velcro dog and independent queen. Being such a good listener, I know a lot of tricks! I know sit, stay, down, off, come, touch, and some fancy obedience trial ones too! I like to learn, and hope that my forever family will want to keep the trick practice (and treats!) flowing! I also love puzzle toys and brain games. Im a smart cookie, and I love working on a project like a snuffle mat or frozen kong. Something Im working on is being calm outside the house, since I can get overstimulated when there is too much going on. Im practising walking on a loose leash even when I have something cool to chase, but my foster family says Im easy to re-direct if something startles me or if I start getting distracted. They think once the D.C. sidewalks are back to not being pure ice, I might be a little more confident walking around. When Im not lounging at the house, or being a training superstar, I love to go on adventures! Im the perfect errand buddy, because I love riding in the car, and Ill happily sit up front and keep the driver company! I know Im supposed to stay in the back, but it would be rude to not greet my chauffeur when they come back to the car after a stop, right?? I cant wait to find my forever family, and go on all the adventures, and share all the snacks, and give all my love to them! If you think we might be a match, apply to adopt me today!

Story
Jordon is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Meet Jordon, a 50-pound adult dog whose hobbies include playtime, snuggles, and making new canine or people friends. His idea of a perfect day is playing and running around the yard with his foster siblings or you. If he could be in your skin with you, he would. For now, though, he'll settle for a good couch cuddle. His love language is physical touch, aka you picking up and holding all 50 pounds of him. He can be a bit clumsy at times, but that's simply part of his charm. Like the rest of us, Jordan can suffer from a bit of FOMO when he knows his favorite people are in the home, but he's in his crate. When you're away, however, he does much better in the crate, especially if it's sweetened with a bully stick or kong. Jordon would do best with someone who could work with him on his separation anxiety. Jordon does well with other dogs or, in his eyes, other friends. He can sometimes be forgetful of his size and come on strongly, but all he wants to do is play and make friends. He even grew up with three brothers. He can be hesitant at first with people, but he warms up quickly and just wants to cuddle and/or play. Because of his size and lack of awareness of such, he would do best in a home with bigger children. If you want a constant cuddle bug or a friend to all, apply for Jordon today! -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

Story
Stella is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Stella is one of the most low maintenance fosters I've ever had the pleasure of helping find a forever home. From being a shy, scared, and timid girl to being confident, secure, and well-mannered, Stella has grown so much in the 2+ years I've known her; although the vacuum cleaner is still enemy #1. Stella has lived in all types of settings: in a busy city, in an apartment, on a quiet street, with dogs, with reactive dogs, and easily adapted to her home environment. She is crate trained and LOVES having a bed in her crate to curl up into a donut while you're at work. She knows every basic command like sit, down, touch, stay and is fully potty trained. Stella's favorite toy is a lambie, or something else that is tiny that she can carry around in her mouth. Once, she took care of an egg for 6 hours before it broke, she's the most gentle creature. Stella is made of love and French fries. There's nothing more that she wants than to be inside with her people, cuddled up on the couch with a show, or playing sous chef in a calm kitchen. She takes awhile to warm up to her people, but with some french fires (her favorite is Burger King), some space, and a bit of patience, she'll love you unconditionally and will likely knock you over from wagging her tail and wiggling so hard with excitement every time she sees you. Although Stella is a perfect girl in the home, on leash, and with other dogs, she is scared of human strangers, especially masculine presenting people, and will need a strong advocate to help keep her safe. If you're looking for a great addition to your calm and cozy life with unconditional love to give, Stella is the gal for you. Stella would do best living with queer folks, a home without cis-gendered men, without cats, and without small children. ATTRIBUTES: Stella has lived in foster with other dogs, but can not go to a home with kids, cats, or cis-gendered men. -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

Story
If you are interested in adopting King, please contact dogs@lostdogrescue.org Hi! I'm King. I am loving, loyal, and - ok, you made me say it - very handsome. Oh, and did I mention that I am looking for a best friend to adopt me? I like leash walks, especially in calm and quiet spaces where we can spend some quality time together without the crowds. But, I may get distracted by all of the wonderful smells because I really do need to put my nose on everything to explore the wonders of the world. Not only am I curious, I am up for a challenge! I like to run across streams, jump on logs, and hike the trails. I have lots of energy so will be sure to help keep up with your exercise plan. I even like to get in a jog from time to time. And, not to brag, but I am pretty smart. But, for the sake of all those delicious treats, I will pretend that it takes me time to master new tricks and skills. One more thing to tell you. I like to talk when I play. I hope you will come to meet me so we can play together forever, just you and me!

She’ll greet you with a soft hello, a curious nose boop, and before you know it, you’re under her spell. Maria Lee is the kind of girl who doesn’t rush the spotlight—she lets her sparkle shine in its own time, and trust us, it’s worth the wait. Once she’s feeling comfy, Maria Lee is ready to box you into a game of fetch! Balls are her jam—she’ll carry them proudly, nudge them your way, and patiently wait for the next toss like the true MVP she is.

On walks, she’s a total pro—trotting along with a happy rhythm, taking in the sights, and showing off her leash manners like a seasoned sidewalk superstar. And when playtime winds down? That’s when Maria Lee really leans in—literally. She’s all about those cozy cuddles, gentle pets, and blissful belly rubs, with a bonus round of butt scritches (her personal favorite). With her sweet spirit, loving nature, and just the right touch of playful flair, Maria Lee is ready to be your loyal leading lady. Could she be the leading lady your heart’s been waiting for?

Story
Bikini came to us from a small rural shelter where her chances of getting out were very slim. She is a 2 yr old pit/catahoula mix and don’t let her breeds fool you. She’s a total couch potato! She has her moments of zoomies but they don’t last long. While she does live in a foster home with other dogs of all sizes, she is the queen bee and can be a little bossy so she is looking for a home with no other dogs. She loves all people she meets and she is potty trained and crate trained. She has good doggie manners but needs some work on her leash training. She is a puller on the leash but we’ve seen a lot of improvement with the ez walk harness. Bikini is located in Texas. Her adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, heartworm test and spay. If you are interested in adopting Bikini complete the adoption application at the link below.

Story
*Faith's adoption fee is sponsored by our friends at Sadie's Spirit of Rescue* Meet Faith — proof that age is just a number. Faith is a senior girl who definitely didn’t get the memo about slowing down. She still has plenty of pep in her step, enjoys her daily routines, and carries herself like a dog years younger. At the same time, she has that wonderful senior-dog superpower: she’s perfectly content hanging out at home by herself all day, making her an easy fit for a working household. Faith is fully house trained, fantastic with kids of all ages, and wonderfully respectful around cats. She loves her people and thrives on calm companionship, cozy naps, and quality time. On leash, Faith can be reactive to other dogs, so she’ll do best as the only dog in the home or with someone comfortable managing that on walks. Off leash and in her own space, she’s all about minding her business and enjoying life. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-drama best friend who still has energy to share—but also knows how to relax—Faith might just be your perfect match.Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed.  The breed given to the dog is our best estimate, and should not be used to predict future behavior.
