Story
Mitzi is a sweet girl that loves socializing and romping joyfully. She has an independent nature and despite size believes she's a lap dog to be cuddled. Mitzi is a smart dog that knows all of her commands but often ignores recall if she's having too much fun. She'll bark at intruders and prefers a bed to a crate for her safe space. Sadly, with age our health will not allow us to provide the level of activity that Mitzi deserves.

These pups are in Fairfax, Virginia too!

Story
Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   COURTESY POST This dog is listed as a courtesy for another rescue. Mutt Love wants to help others in need. Meet Cocoa, a 9-year old Ibizan Hound/Terrier mix.  Cocoa is losing her home and family after joining them when she was 14-weeks old. Cocoa gets along with other dogs and the staff where she has boarded over the years just love her.  She is what we call a WYSIWYG dog - What You See Is What You Get.  She is in her senior years and has her routine.  She could stand lose a few pounds but loves her treats.  Cocoa has seasonal skin allergies and is on a mild anti-anxiety medication.  Otherwise, she is in pretty good shape for a gal her age. With her initial "get off my lawn" vibe, it will take some time for Cocoa to fall in love.  If you are willing to give her a chance, you will have a friend for life! Cocoa would do best in a quiet home without children and a minimum number of people visiting.  She should be fine if it is a multi-dog family.  We do not know how she will do with cats.  **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 Jan 24th  - **** EVENT CANCELLED ****     Saturday Jan 31st 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston     Saturday  Feb 7th 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax     Saturday Feb 14th 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza Reston, VA     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!
