Story
Meet Cricket.  This sweet senior pup came into rescue from a difficult situation—her previous owner was battling addiction and eventually became homeless. Thankfully, a compassionate local groomer had been keeping an eye on Cricket and stepped in when it became clear her owner could no longer care for her. Cricket was long overdue for veterinary care, but we’re happy to share that she’s now healthy and thriving. She tested negative for heartworm (a huge relief), was spayed, had multiple mammary tumors removed and biopsied, and underwent extensive dental work, including several extractions. The best news? All of her tumors were benign, and she is now fully recovered and pain-free. For the past two months, Cricket has been enjoying the comfort and security of a loving foster home with her foster mom, Donna, and her three dogs—two small pups and one big pittie named Kane. She integrated into the pack with ease, bonding especially well with the smaller dogs and tolerating Kane’s playful attempts with quiet dignity. Cricket has a calm, laid-back energy and enjoys long naps and occasional cuddle sessions. She’s got a little spunk in her, too, and truly delights in outings. Whether it’s a car ride or just a walk to the mailbox, her joy is contagious. She walks well on leash; she’s not fast, but she stays right by your side. = We think Cricket would love a calm canine companion in her new home. She’s not looking for a playmate, just another friendly pup to keep her company. She can get anxious when left completely alone, but settles in nicely when her foster pack is nearby. Cricket had done well with potty training and follows the other dogs outside for breaks. She’s not a fan of the crate - she’ll cry and howl when crated, but she does just fine being left out and has earned Donna’s trust. At night, she sleeps soundly snuggled up next to her person and never makes a peep. She’s also very quiet overall and not much of a barker. Cricket is a social, gentle senior who loves meeting new people and soaking up attention. She will make a wonderful sidekick and a sweet addition to any home looking to give a deserving senior girl her second chance.

Story
Meet Gage. Gage is one of three Chihuahuas we rescued after their elderly owner passed away. After their owner’s death, the dogs were taken in by the adult children, but unfortunately, they were kept penned outside with little care or attention. Thankfully, a groomer who had been a friend of the owner learned of their situation and stepped in. She took all three pups into her care until rescue could be found. These dogs are incredibly lucky someone advocated for them. Because of her actions, Gage has a chance at the love and life he deserves. When Gage first arrived, he was understandably timid and unsure in his new foster home. It’s clear he didn’t have much exposure to the outside world, and his circumstances only worsened after being isolated in a yard. He’s currently living with three other dogs and multiple cats in his foster home and has done well being part of a pack. We checked in with his foster mom, Jenn, to see how he’s settling in.   FOSTER MOM Q&A How is he doing with your pack? Gage is used to being around other dogs and is totally solid with my cats. While I think he could be okay as an only dog, he seems more confident with a dog buddy or as part of a pack. He warmed up to me and my mom right away. Men make him a bit nervous at first, but with time, he does warm up. Initially, he was terrified of my dad and older son, but now he’ll sit on the couch with my son and is more comfortable with my dad. Energy level?  Gage has a moderate energy level. He enjoys having access to a fenced yard, but also does fine on a leash. About a week after he arrived, he started playing with toys, so his playful side is definitely emerging. Is he housetrained/crate trained? Yes, Gage is housetrained and is crated when I leave the house. I don’t leave my dogs alone with fosters unsupervised as a rule, but he does fine in the crate. He doesn’t go in on his own, so he usually needs a little encouragement. At night, he has free range of the house and chooses to sleep wherever my dogs do, sometimes in my room, sometimes in the living room. I don’t think he’d need to be crated long-term as long as his environment is safe. What’s he like—confident, shy, cuddly, independent?  Gage was initially very head shy and would back away when touched, but that improved significantly after the first week. He’s still timid and follows the lead of my other dogs, but he’s making progress every day. He’s not aggressive, just nervous and in need of time and space to decompress and trust. He’s started following me around like a little shadow, and he now jumps up in the chair with me, throws his whole body against mine, licks my face, and begs for belly rubs. It’s so rewarding to see his personality coming out. Best home environment? He does startle easily and gets overwhelmed when things are loud or chaotic, so a quiet, calm home would be best for him. I would say no young kids or busy, urban settings. He’d do well with another dog or two to keep him company and help him feel secure. Leash skills? Gage walks on a martingale collar and does well overall, but he gets nervous in very busy environments. Because he tends to back up when scared, I recommend a martingale collar and/or harness to ensure he’s secure on walks. ******** Gage is doing wonderfully and is a fantastic little guy. He just needs a little patience and a calm home environment, and he’s going to blossom into a devoted, snuggly companion.  Apply today to learn more!   BREED ESTIMATE: Chi Mix (with Basset or Doxen) GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  17 lbs  APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 2 to 3 years old COAT TYPE: Short coat ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/neutered/microchipped LOCATION:  Centreville, VA   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application.

Meet Nya. Nya is one of three Chihuahuas we rescued after their elderly owner passed away. After their owner's death, the dogs were taken in by the adult children, but sadly, they were kept penned outside with little care or attention. Thankfully, a compassionate groomer who had been a friend of the owner stepped in. She took all three pups into her care until rescue could be arranged. Because of her actions, Nya has a chance at the love and life she deserves. When Nya first arrived, she was understandably timid and unsure in her new foster home. It was clear she hadn't had much exposure to the outside world. She’s currently living with a foster mom and dad, and two other dogs and has done well as part of a pack. Nya has excellent house manners and is very laid-back. She’s house-trained, not destructive, and has earned free roam privileges in her foster home. She has an adorable personality and a love for cozy comforts. Nya is a true blanket burrower and loves to snuggle, whether it’s under the covers or curled up with her humans or pup buddies. We checked in with her foster mom, Christi, to hear how she’s settling in. Nya is adjusting more every day, growing in confidence, and starting to show her sweet, affectionate nature.   FOSTER MOM UPDATE - 6/8/25 Nya has been w us a week now. She has settled in quite well. She is the sweetest little girl.  She has chosen me as her person, but she will also mix things up and choose Dan to cuddle up next to or sleep with through the night.   She is 100% engaged with us. Loves to be where we are and take advantage of a lap to cuddle in.  Nya will accept and enjoys pets from my husband Dan and is warming up nicely to our 21 year old son.   We have let her take her time in experiencing the three of us to earn her trust.   We are an active household- in that we have projects and house and yard work.   I think we are more active than she was ever been accustomed to. She is a little cautious as we move about quickly or something accidentally makes a loud noise ( like pots or pans bang in the kitchen).  She may make a quick retreat under the dining table to assess the situation if something catches her by surprise.  She’s quickly realizes she is safe and rejoins us almost immediately.  Which is 100% on par w all of our foster pups over the years.   She used to bark at my 20-something son when he would come up from the basement man cave.  I think the sudden door opening scared her. But she’s fine now. She sleeps in the office under my desk while I work through the day.  She loves to cuddle on the couch when we are catching up after the day or watching TV.  Drum roll … Nya is doing fabulously on walks, which was brand new to her!  We walk two times a day with our two little dogs. Not long walks (because our dogs are little) but 20 mins of nice exercise and enrichment.  Knowing she never has been on a lead in a walking situation, I got her a sturdy harness.   Her first two days w us, I put her harness on and lead and offered to bring her out w our dogs. She followed our dogs down the drive way and made it two house before she decided she was a bit afraid. I didn’t push it. I brought her back home.  But on day 3, she made it the whole 20 min walk. She was cautious, but she did it.  It was really good for her.   Now at day 8, little miss Nya gladly goes for her walks.  Enjoys all the enrichment.  She is not reactive.  We had an instance where a large rambunctious dog on the other side of the street was barking excitedly. It did worry her, so I just picked her up (so she felt safe) and waited for the other dog to be led off.  She quickly reset and we were on our happy way. I walk her with our 13 lb little scruffy Terrier Stella.  Nya and Stella do very well together and share a consistent walking pace. I really have not worked in any training yet because I just want her to know the complete joy of walks.  But, I will say she does NOT tug on walks. Nya has been respectful of our senior scruffy L.G. who is a little 12 lb low rider. The dogs do well w each other.  Our pups have taught her the joys of charging birds and squirrels at the bird feeder. When they run out there she does too.   Very cute.   Our dogs don’t really play with each other but Nya isn’t interested in play. Aside from chasing birds and squirrels in a pack setting, she’s pretty laidback. She would do fine as a single dog or with a confident companion.   I don’t think she’s a good fit for smalll children, but kiddos who understand she needs time to trust and settle, would be ok.   Nya is resilient and is doing so well.  Each day brings new joy for her.   She is an amazing, small-sized, easy to manage companion. ************* Nya’s journey from outdoor neglect to cuddlebug is a testament to how resilient and loving dogs can be when given a second chance. She’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can continue to blossom and be someone’s loyal companion.

To learn more about Kirby, please get in touch with Kristin.calkins@lostdogrescue.org Kirby 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. Kirby is a classic Chihuahua with a little body and big heart. This little guy may be a little unsure at the kennel, but once he's in a home or calm space, he shows his true colors — affectionate, chill, and loyal. Currently in foster care with two other dogs, Kirby is dog-friendly, well-mannered, and easy to live with. He sleeps through the night, doesn’t chew on things he shouldn’t, and can be trusted to roam freely when you're not home. He's great on a leash, navigates stairs like a pro, and isn't phased by the elevator. He's an excellent passenger in the car too! What makes Kirby special is how he bonds with his person. Whether he's curling up quietly next to you on the couch or napping quietly in a nearby dog bed while you work, he thrives on companionship. He doesn’t need constant attention — just a calm, loving presence to feel secure. Kirby will be a loyal shadow to someone who appreciates the unique charm of Chihuahuas. If you're looking for a small dog with a big heart, Kirby might just be your perfect match.
