Story
Whimsy is a quiet, steady companion who enjoys simply being part of your world without needing to be glued to your side. She’s wonderfully independent, happy to relax nearby, join you for an outing, or hang out while you go about your day. She’s the perfect match for someone who appreciates a dog that doesn’t need constant touching or attention to feel connected. When it’s time for fun, Whimsy has plenty of playful, high-energy moments. The rest of the time, she’s a laid-back couch potato who is easy to live with. She’s crate trained, walks beautifully on a leash, rides well in the car, and stays calm and quiet in the home. She’s observant, sweet in her own way, and content to entertain herself. Whimsy would do best in a home without cats. If you’re looking for a calm yet spirited dog who brings companionship without the clinginess, Whimsy might be exactly who you’ve been hoping for. Her adoption fee of $300 covers her spay, vaccines, parasite prevention, and a microchip. Visit www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to fill out an application.

Story
Hi there, I'm Akio, and although I had a rough start when I landed at my foster 3 weeks ago, I am now ready to find my forever home. As you can see from my "before" photos, I was in dire need of grooming and my skin was raw. However, with a good cleaning, healthy food, and medicated baths, as you can see, I'm doing quite well! I am a GREAT little dog - I get along well with everyone. I am confident, loving and energetic - the perfect fit for someone looking for a walking buddy but also seeking a couch/ lap companion. I do fine in my crate, I know SIT and I love to play. I also do well with bathing and grooming. I'm ready to make my debut as your new friend, so apply today and let's make it happen! Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee covers; please consider making a tax-deductible donation by visiting us at https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor. Donations help us offset vetting, boarding costs, and additional medical treatments for dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at: hattonanimalrescue.org.

Story
Meet Marie! Marie is quite possibly the cutest, sweetest, most adorable little creature ever created. After more than 8 years in her home, Marie didn’t just arrive confused…she arrived distraught. She was surrendered to us in sorry shape: thin, with nails grown so long they curl, itchy, inflamed skin, and a coat so sparse it barely exists on her hind end and tail. And her teeth didn’t just fall out - they rotted away, leaving open holes from her gums up into her nasal cavity. This is severe dental disease that traps foot in her sinuses, causing horrific and painful infection. This doesn’t happen overnight. Marie is finally getting the medical care she so desperately needs, and making herself right at home with her foster family. She immediately got to work doing a full house inspection (very important business), had a big meal, and curled up in front of the fire in her very own Lamb Chop bed. She adores cuddling with her foster brothers and is an absolute angel for her medicated baths. She is also very comfortable voicing her opinions, commentary, and emotional thesis statements. Marie has some vision loss, but don’t let that fool you ~ she gets around just fine. She’s toothless but has a few oral–nasal fistulas, and absolutely does not let any of that slow her down. She hears well, is incredibly cuddly, and sweet as can be. And her bark? Low, raspy, and so unexpected it sounds like it’s coming from someone else entirely. Truly a jump scare every time. While Marie loves cudding, she doesn't mind staying home while her foster family is out. When they return, she meets them with a wagging tail and happy greetings. She is perfect with pee pads (10/10 potty professionalism), and has even taught her foster brother Brody an advanced maneuver: hiding behind foster mom’s back when she leans forward. A true mentor. Marie will eat anything you offer and scavenges food more efficiently than a Roomba. She prefers to keep tabs on foster mom at all times ~ following her room to room, or crying dramatically if temporarily stranded on the couch. Emotional support AND surveillance, she stands ready to offer. M Marie is ready to be your love bug, funny-noise specialist, and portable joy machine. Apply to meet her today! Marie is approximately 11 years old and 8 lbs. More details as we get to know her better. Fostered in Charles Town, WV Please apply at Mirishaven.org

Story
Name: Monkey Sex: Female Estimated Age: About 9 years old Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua/Dachshund Mix Weight: About 15 lbs Lives With: Dogs, cats and all people (including kids)! Housebroken? She’s potty trained! Story: Monkey was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina. We are so happy to have her safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Monkey is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Monkey is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Monkey will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! What my foster says: Monkey is just the sweetest. She’s potty trained and hasn't had any accidents in the apartment. She's done great with other dogs as well as cats at her temporary foster (!!). Monkey's favorite thing is belly rubs and meal times! Monkey doesn't need any fancy outdoor area (she’d be a great apartment dog), just your love, attention, and the occasional stroll around the neighborhood. Don't let her gray face fool you, though! Monkey has her bouts of energy where she still gets those zoomies and wants to play catch with her favorite mouse toy. She's also content with just sleeping and watching over what you're doing, and she's done fantastic alone as well at home whenever I run errands or am out with friends. My favorite thing about her is that she'll get under the covers and snuggle there the whole night, so if you ever wanted your own personal, soft heater, you'll find it in her. Just in time for the cold season ahead!  There is no fee to adopt Monkey thanks to a generous donation from one of our volunteers. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, her spay, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, her spay, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines.

Story
We adopted Festus in 2022. He's been a good company for us, but I travel every couple of months, and it has costed me quite a bit paying for a pet boarder and a walker when I go into the office. He's very good around children and very loyal. Festus will be a good companion for a dog lover who doesn't have to travel as much.
