Story

Rocko is a very affectionate dog. He loves attention and staying close to his people. I adopted him in July of 2025. They listed his age as two, so he's around three years old now. He's great with kids and is good with other dogs, but he does not get along with cats. I am looking to rehome him because he craves quality time together, and I'm unable to provide enough of it because of my schedule. Please reach out with any questions.

Story

Meet Chocolate! 🐶🤎 Chocolate is a 3-year-old Yorkshire Terrier born on September 26, 2023. He is a very sweet, loving, and playful dog who loves attention and affection. He enjoys being around people and will often follow you wherever you go. Chocolate is a good listener and loves going on walks and playing with his toys. However, he needs durable toys that aren’t too hard because he tends to tear apart soft, plush toys. One thing Chocolate is still working on is getting comfortable around new people and children. He can be a little cautious at first and needs some time to warm up to unfamiliar faces. He hasn’t always had the best experiences with younger children, so he does best with kids who are gentle, patient, and respectful of his space. Once he feels comfortable and safe, his sweet and friendly personality really comes out. Overall, Chocolate is a loving, playful, and affectionate companion who just needs a little patience and understanding when meeting new people!

Story

Amazon Prime is sponsoring my adoption fees!*I`m in a foster home* To meet me reach out to my foster caregiver at kimseidl@proton.me. - pocket size - super snuggly - motivated for trainingMeet little Miss Tater. She`s a 40 pound pocket pup mix with a little pittie and 99% Wiggle. She is the happiest dog you could ever hope to meet and tap dances while folding herself in half with excitement and any attention you give her- just the slightest look in her direction will set her tail in motion and she`ll crawl in and grab your arm for belly rub time. She can`t wait to see you in the morning, get the morning zoomies and settle in for some good food toys followed by a snuggly snooze. She knows how to fetch and loves her Wubba. She is incredibly food motivated and we`re currently working on some confidence building and training with sit/stay, and loose leash walking. She just started working on `touch` and instead of nose booping, she gives the cutest little kisses! She would love to keep working with you- especially if you have treats!. If you`d like to know more about this sweet little girl, contact her foster mom for more info.

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, 5 yrs 7 mos

Washington, DC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

*Woof* I`m at 71 Oglethorpe Street NW come and meet me today between 12:00 pm and 6:30 pm every day!While in foster, Bert loves giving and receiving affection, especially ear scratches and belly rubs. He was energetic at times but also enjoyed cuddling on the couch. He has a healthy sense of curiosity, but shows no destructive behaviors or attempts to chew on something that he shouldn`t. He was fine when left alone for a few hours uncrated. Bert is the perfect mix of active outdoor buddy and chill indoor roommate. He’s as happy to be lying next to (or on top of) his human, as he is to be chasing a ball or perfecting his grass-rolling technique. The only things cuter than his fabulous personality are his little lower teeth that give him the most charming, goofy smile -- the kind that instantly makes you giggle. Bert is very smart and has perfected `sit` and loose-leash walking. He’s also great in the car and on long walks, soliciting pets from everyone he meets. He has the calm demeanor of a mature gentleman and the manners to match. He’ll let you eat without hovering, is housebroken, keeps a tidy kennel, and is a quiet co-worker. Bert is happy to snooze on his own while you work, even gladly going to another room during conference calls. Bert will be an amazing dog for someone who wants a chill, goofy, and cuddly sidekick who just goes with the flow. Meet this sweetheart today and let Bert show you just how special he is.

Story

*Woof* I`m in a foster home. To meet me reach out to my foster caregiver at lauragabatino@hotmail.comMiss Bee was featured on WTOP`s Pet of the Week: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfTCVsJsAF1/?srtk=MXFwaDlsd2RmbWEwNw==Miss Bea is a true beauty, as sweet and gentle as they come. This charming senior has a wonderfully calm presence and makes an endlessly delightful companion, happy to simply be near her person and soak up every bit of affection offered. Miss Bea is doing great in her foster home. She can be left alone freely in the home and is well behaved. She`s currently living with another dog. At a recent event, she was wiggly with everyone who wanted to pet her and gentle with the children. A man put his toddler on the floor next to her and she just laid down next to him. She did not like the hyper, young dogs bounding towards her so we kept a distance, but she didn`t mind them at all as long as they didn`t come towards her. With people she welcomed all attention and was calm and mellow.Miss Bea has heartworm which means she needs rest and to be calm while she gets fixed up. The good thing is that HRA will take care of all her treatments free of charge if you adopt her (in fact, she`s already started treatment!).She’s a lovely girl seeking a home without any kitties or other small animals where she can heal, be pampered, and brighten your days with her quiet sweetness. If you’re looking for a precious soul who will reward your care with deep and tender devotion, meet Miss Bea!
