Story
At about 8 years old, Tod is a distinguished Corgi–Chihuahua mix with the shortest little legs and a surprisingly big personality tucked into his sturdy, compact frame. He’s equal parts gentleman and character - a thoughtful, independent little guy who knows exactly who he is and would very much like to be appreciated for it.Tod came back to rescue with some history, but in his foster home he has been nothing short of wonderful. Over the past several months, he’s proven himself to be attentive, responsive, and delightfully easy to live with. He’s housebroken, quiet, good in the car, listens well, and settles beautifully in his crate. He truly thrives when life is calm, consistent, and predictable. He’s the kind of dog who quietly fits into your routine and somehow makes it better.Like many dogs who’ve had their routines disrupted, he can be a bit reserved when meeting new people - he prefers polite introductions and a little time to decide you’re worthy - but once you’re in, you’re in. Tod becomes deeply loyal and wonderfully devoted. He’s very much a “my person” kind of dog who will happily coexist nearby, keeping you company with his steady, reassuring presence.Tod is reportedly cat-friendly (though his foster doesn’t have cats to confirm), and he would do best in a home without young children. He could potentially live with another calm, independent dog in an experienced home, but truthfully? He shines brightest as the only dog, soaking up the peace and the quiet attention.He would love a home with a yard to explore on his adorable little legs, a couple of dependable meals a day, and people who appreciate a dog with charm, independence, and a whole lot of heart. He’s not needy or chaotic - he’s cool, composed, and quietly charismatic.Tod isn’t looking to be everyone’s dog. He’s looking to be someone’s dog. And for the right person, he’s going to be absolutely irresistible.If you’d like to take Tod home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $150 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have start

Story
Whimsy is a quiet, steady companion who enjoys simply being part of your world—without needing to be handled or touched unless she chooses to be. She shows affection in her own way and on her own terms, making her a wonderful match for someone who appreciates a dog that values personal space and calm companionship. She’s wonderfully independent, happy to relax nearby, join you for an outing, or hang out while you go about your day. She doesn’t seek out physical affection, but she does enjoy being close and included. When it’s time for fun, Whimsy has 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, gentle 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 offers companionship without constant physical contact, 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
Willy is an 8 year old dachshund mix with a story that proves sometimes the sweetest souls just need a little time to feel safe again. He came to Full Circle Rescue and Sanctuary after his owner surrendered him to the shelter, and to say he was overwhelmed would be an understatement. The shelter was loud, scary, and confusing, and Willy coped the only way he knew how by panicking and acting like a tiny chaos gremlin. Once he landed in foster care and realized the world was not, in fact, ending, everything changed. After a few weeks to decompress and rebuild trust, Willy showed everyone who he truly is: a gentle, independent little guy with a soft heart and excellent house manners. He is house trained, crate trained (though he would vote to abolish crates entirely if given the chance), and settles nicely into a calm routine. Willy is almost blind, but don’t tell him that. He navigates life just fine, confidently finding his way around and happily toddling through the yard and exploring the farm. He especially loves being outside, taking in the smells and sunshine at his own relaxed pace. He enjoys being brushed, gets along well with other dogs, cats, and even chickens. His perfect home would be quiet and predictable. Willy would thrive with a retired person or someone living a slower paced lifestyle who simply wants a loyal little companion nearby. Because he startles easily, a home without children is best for him. He is not needy or clingy, just happiest sharing space with his person and knowing he belongs. Willy has already done the hard part learning to trust again. Now he is just waiting for a soft landing and someone to love him for the wonderful little dog he is. Adoption fee: $300 Includes neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to give Willy the calm, loving home he deserves.

Story
Finzel and Tippy are brother and sister. Finzel was initially rescued and was very needy until we rescued Tippy a few days later. Since then they have been two happy little puppies. They play together, cuddle together and sleep together. They are thankfully not destructive puppies. Their father was Shih Tzu and Pekingese and their mother Yorkie and Dachshund. They both seem to have taken on more the Dachshund size, figure and definitely sweet personality. We do not expect them to get more than 10 to 12 lbs. They are both very affectionate, playful, sweet, cuddly, smart, and well-behaved. They have both been fully vetted with all of their vaccines and are healthy and ready for their forever home. We would prefer adopting them together first and if that does not work out then we would separate them so that they could at least be in a home with hopefully another dog. Anybody that gets these puppies will have a lot of joy and smiles in their home. They have been well loved and socialized. They are puppy pad and litter box trained. They are also used to going outside and going in the yard when there is not a foot of snow. They crate well when needed as well.Call 606-783-9850 strayheartsrescue@outlook.com

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! Special Medical Considerations:  Monkey has degenerative heart disease and is considered a hospice case, with an estimated 1–2 years ahead of her. She takes daily medication and will need two specialist visits per year. Monkey was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina, and we are so grateful she’s now safe and cozy in a loving foster home in the DC area. Monkey is a happy, gentle sweetheart who adores people and gets along beautifully with other dogs, puppies, and even cats. She’s mastered the art of getting comfy on the couch with her humans and would love to join you for leisurely walks and neighborhood strolls. Her favorite things? Belly rubs, mealtime, and burrowing under the covers at night to be your own personal, snuggly heater. Don’t let her sweet gray face fool you — she still gets playful bursts of energy, complete with zoomies and games of catch with her favorite mouse toy! Monkey is potty trained, does wonderfully in an apartment setting, and is perfectly content relaxing at home while you’re out running errands. She’s truly the best mix of playful and peaceful companionship. Monkey does have degenerative heart disease and is considered a hospice case, with an estimated 1–2 years ahead of her. She takes daily medication and will need two specialist visits per year. We know this means her time may be shorter than we wish — but we also know it can be incredibly meaningful. Monkey is looking for a compassionate adopter who is ready to open their heart to a hospice dog and give her the love, comfort, and stability she deserves for the rest of her life. In return, she will offer endless devotion, warmth, and tail wags every single day. Like all dogs, Monkey will thrive with continued positive reinforcement, mental enrichment, gentle exercise, and lots of patience and love. There is no adoption fee for Monkey thanks to a generous volunteer donation, which covers her vaccines, spay, collar, transport to DC, and foster care. She is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines. Monkey doesn’t need perfection — she just needs her person. Could you be the one to give this very special girl the soft landing she deserves?       March 8, 2026, 4:15 pm
