Story
Meet Penn! Penn and his brother, Teller, were purchased as a surprise birthday present for the family’s daughter. As many people quickly learn, adding two puppies at once can be a lot for any household, and this family was not prepared for the commitment. Just a few months later, both pups were surrendered to rescue and had not yet received their required vaccinations or basic veterinary care. Since coming into rescue, both boys have been fully vetted and are now healthy, happy, and ready to start their new lives. Teller has already found his forever home, but Penn is still waiting for his perfect family. Penn is currently being fostered with his foster parents, Emily and Ray, and their two dogs, and he does very well as part of a pack. We think he’ll flourish in a home with another dog to romp and play with—he prioritizes playtime with other pups over food! Emily shared this FOSTER MOM UPDATE: “Penn is a confident, playful pup, but also very snuggly. As he’s settled in, he’s developed a cuddly side and enjoys curling up with his people for attention and lap time. Since his brother was adopted, he’s become especially loving and people-oriented, happily soaking up affection whenever it’s offered. He is doing well with potty training, but I wouldn’t consider him fully house-trained yet. He knows to go outside when we let him out of the pen, but you have to watch him. He LOVES to wrestle and play and has been having a great time with our dogs since Teller left. He loves small squeaky toys and will even play fetch! He also LOVES carrots and will happily eat a whole carrot like a treat. He does very well on public outings. We’ve taken him out several times in our stroller (yes, really ), including to a brewery with live music, and he was totally unbothered. He is very adaptable and doesn’t mind wearing clothes, bow ties, or collars. Penn has a really cute and fun personality. He’s done well meeting new people both at home and while out and about. He enjoys attention from visitors and is comfortable being handled. All of my friends love him dearly.” *********** Penn’s playful spirit, affectionate nature, and fun personality are sure to bring a lot of laughter and love to his future home. He would thrive in an active household with another playful dog and a family ready to continue helping him grow and learn. Apply today! BREED ESTIMATE: Dachshund (possible Doxen/Chi mix) GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 11 lbs (will be 13-14 lbs fully grown) APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 6 mos old COAT TYPE: Short coat ADOPTION FEE: $425.00 OTHER INFO: Current on shots, microchipped, neutered. LOCATION:  Charlotte, NC FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. March 11, 2026, 12:57 am

Story
Meet Windell !! This little guy is so fun and super sweet. He has a very playful and fun personality with a side of cuddle bug mixed in. He’s very energetic and absolutely not a lap dog. Windell is a 5 month old male. He is a Dachshund and Chihuahua mix. He currently weighs 9 pounds. He will be neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines as part of his adoption. He is on monthly preventions. Windell is basically a wild and crazy puppy. He’s fun loving and very active. He’s super sweet but always on the go. He is still working on his puppy training but he tries his best to be a good boy. He has been great on car rides. He does pretty good with leash walking. He’s been doing good with his crate training. He can get a little whiny at times but he’s learning. He’s not fully potty trained but he’s starting to figure it out. He often gets to playing outside and forgets to potty so you have to watch him. Windell has done well with other dogs. He’s spunky and happy to play with them. He can be annoying to dogs that don’t like a playful puppy bouncing all over them. He hasn’t been around cats so we aren’t sure how he would do. He’s been excellent with kids so far. He has a medium to high energy level. He loves to play and run with other dogs. He absolutely loves being outside. He’s a very spunky fun dog. He’s happy happy happy all the time. He loves to be with you and on the go. He absolutely has to have a family that understands puppy energy and has time to keep him busy. Windell has not had any trouble sharing treats toys or bones with people. He’s fed separately from other dogs so we aren’t sure how he would do. He wasn’t raised with other dogs so he’s not super savvy with other dogs. He will try to steal bones or toys out of their mouths and get confused when they aren’t happy with it. He will learn but a tolerant dog would be best. If you’re looking for a little guy that has a ton of personality and an adventurous attitude, then he may be the one!! Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly with questions or to get an application.
