Story
He is a purebred Chinese Crested hairless dog at 17 lbs (as a Chinese Crested, he has specific bathing/grooming needs). He has lived with us for 7 months, one child has become very allergic and has asthma. Laslo just turned 5; he is very healthy. He has been kept up to date on all vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. He eats both wet and dry food fine, even though he has mostly baby teeth. Per vet: teeth are healthy, not many adult teeth. Laslo is fairly low energy, but loves to go on walks, cuddle and snooze. He is good on a leash but he is a bit of a diva and dislikes the rain or snow. He is scared of cats, so will keep a respectful distance if they live in the house. Anxious in car rides. His original owner hand fed him as a puppy and treated him as a human baby. He became very attached to his original owner, started resource guarding her 2 yr old =a few bites. He has not tried to bite anyone in our home. He may thrive as the only dog in his new home.

These pups are in Alexandria, Virginia too!

Story
Hello! My name is Poppa! Meet Poppa Poppa is a lively and lovable boy with energy to spare and curiosity that never quits. He’s eager to explore the world, make new friends, and be part of the action. With his expressive eyes and playful spirit, Poppa is impossible not to adore. Energy and Personality Poppa is full of enthusiasm and thrives with daily exercise and mental stimulation. He loves long walks, active play, and time with his people. He enjoys meeting new people, gets along withcats, and has a big, friendly personality that makes him a joy to be around. Training and Behavior Poppa is house trained, knows how to sit, and comes when called. He’s food motivated, goes into his crate easily, and responds well to treats, praise, and redirection. He has been barking at the door and can get a little frantic indoors, but structure has helped him relax and learn good habits. With crate time, a small fenced-off area, and supervised play in the yard, he’s learning to settle and self-soothe. Social Life He enjoys the company of people and other dogs and is learning how to balance his excitement with calm behavior. He’s affectionate and likes being near his humans, but also benefits from clear boundaries and routines. Quirks and Special Traits Poppa has an expressive face that could melt anyone’s heart. His big, bright eyes always seem to say, “What’s next?” He’s adventurous, clever, and always up for a good time. Best Home Fit Poppa will do best with an active adopter who can offer consistent structure, exercise, and affection. A fenced yard and regular walks are ideal for him. He’s learning quickly and will thrive with guidance and attention.

Story
Current Location: Union Bridge, MD Meet Alex: Big Personality in a Compact Package Alex is a 4-month-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix with beautiful markings and enough personality to fill a room! This 16-lb chunky boy (affectionately nicknamed "Piglet" by his foster family) is friendly, bold, playful, and bursting with puppy energy. If you're looking for an interactive, social companion who will keep you entertained, Alex is your guy! This talkative little dude loves life and everything it has to offer. He's obsessed with toys and bones of all kinds and will happily fall asleep on your lap while chewing his favorite toy. He absolutely adores his foster mama and forms strong bonds with his people. Alex is great with other dogs and is learning proper doggy manners, taking correction well when he gets a little too enthusiastic. He's very food and toy motivated, which makes training a joy. He's already leash and crate trained and is currently working on "sit" and "kennel," learning very quickly thanks to his smarts and motivation. This energetic boy needs regular exercise and enrichment to keep him happy and healthy. He enjoys long walks, active play, and plenty of interaction. He's even great about nail trims with no fuss! Alex is social, engaging, and ready to be someone's devoted companion. He'll bring laughter, love, and a whole lot of spunk to his forever home.

Story
Current Location: Seven Valleys, PA Meet Parker: The Snuggle Bug Who Plays Big Don't let his size fool you! This sweet boy loves to play with other dogs and can absolutely hold his own with the big guys. Parker brings enthusiastic energy to playtime but balances it perfectly with his mega snuggler personality. When the fun winds down, he's ready to curl up on your lap or snuggle with his canine friends. Parker is an easy going boy who fits seamlessly into home life. He's good with cats and doesn't care about them at all. He rides well in the car without needing a crate. He's doing very well with potty training and is making great progress in his crate training too. He may cry for the first few minutes when crated, but then settles in and sleeps peacefully all night. This food motivated pup is responsive and eager to please, making training a breeze. He's the kind of dog who brings joy without drama, plays hard, and loves even harder. Overall, Parker is a very sweet and easy going boy who just wants to be part of your pack. Whether he's romping with the big dogs, ignoring the cat, or snuggling on your lap, he's going to steal your heart. Ready to welcome this affectionate little guy into your home? Parker is waiting!
