Story
Simone is a sweet, playful dog who deserves more time and attention than I can give as a busy mom of five. She loves toys, dog parks, and anything involving water, and she thrives with people who enjoy an active lifestyle. I am taking my time to find her a loving, stable home where she will be cared for, included, and truly happy. If you are interested, please reach out and tell me about your home so I can make sure she finds the right fit. She comes with all her things. Crate ( her room), feeding bowls, bedding etc

Story
*Woof* I am in a foster home! Email my foster parent to meet me: ekurland@humanerescuealliance.orgOh how I live up to my name! See, an impala is a graceful African antelope with reddish-brown fur and powerful jumping ability. My coat is a strikingly beautiful red-brown color and I move so gracefully that I have been called `Impala Ballerina` by some. Luckily, I have been learning to exercise my jumping skills to moments when it is appropriate. I may need some continued support in this area (the main issue here being that I get so so excited when I see my friends that I feel urged to express it in bouncing up and down even if it is not exercise time).I have begun studies of other doggie manners as well and have earned A+ ratings for my prompt sit and for my hand targeting skills. I think I am all set up for success in my new home! Could this be yours?

Story
I`m in a foster home! To adopt me, email my foster parents at lucyyk19@gmail.com.Dori is adorable! She adores being loved and giving it right back. And she has the most amazing markings with such a dear boopable sniffy snout. This wonderful, sweet girl is in foster and has charmed the neighborhood. Dori is potty trained and has done well on her own at home, and is friendly with new people, including children. Dori has a playful side and enjoys a good game of fetch but tends toward a more chill vibe, gently requesting pets and belly rubs and chewing her stuffies. Dori just wants to spend her days relaxing and enjoying life while you bask in her soulful, adoring gaze! Dori loves to go for walks and happily dons her harness. She calmly sleeps through the night in her own room and greets us with soft kisses in the morning. She`s been fine staying on her own for stretches during the day, too, and hasn`t had one accident! She`s very friendly and charms all she meets with her kind greetings and too adorable spots. She has been wonderful with school-aged kids who visit her foster home. Dori is very attentive and smart. She checks in a lot to see what you want her to be doing.  She`s got `sit` down pat and is quickly adding new skills to her repertoire. Dori can`t wait to find her new family. Please meet this beautiful gal soon!Dori was also so loved by all at the shelter. One volunteer shared, `Dori is so smart that she focuses on you for love and guidance. She loves treats and she likes her cuddles.` And another said, `She is very sweet and friendly and a total joy - the perfect blend of playful and chill … still young enough for some puppy fun but already knows how to relax and soak up the love. Her gentle, joyful personality is just waiting to shine in a home of her own.`

Story
Woof* If you`d like to meet me, please email my foster caregiver at cesar.perez2003@gmail.com.Splash has been amazing in his foster home, where he quickly adjusted to his new routine. He loves his daily walks and playing and also has a knack for deep sleeping on his bed or couch.There is so much to love about Splash. Actually, there is a lot to love as this handsome sweetheart is the real deal! He is a hefty darling who clearly likes his meals! He is incredibly so cute anyway! Splash was adopted from us not too long ago but sadly his owner could not keep him. But he is very ready to find a new family today. In his previous home, Splash was happy to see guests and wag his adorable tail! And he thought squirrels should never enter the yard! What a funny pup. And it was shared that he is a very sweet and loving doggie who is loyal and precious. He recently went on a fun field trip with a volunteer, and they shared, `Splash is an easy-going dude! He is so gentle and loving.`

*Woof* Meet me at 71 Oglethorpe St NW between 12pm-7pm daily!Dear Chuck does not want to chuck wood, but he wants a loving home where he can thrive. This very good boy was adopted from us a year ago but was recently found as a sad and skinny stray! Our hearts were breaking for him, but we are helping him put on some weight and we are showering him with love. Chuck is a very handsome young man eager to get his confidence back. With devoted adopters and kindness, we know this precious love will bloom. He’s truly a gem of a dog who just adores hanging around humans.Can you give sweet Chuck the warm and inviting home he so wants? Can you give him yummy meals that will help him get back into top doggie form? He will LOVE you so much. Meet Chuck soon. He needs you!

Story
*Woof* I`m in a foster home! Email my foster caregiver to meet me: Isayicebox@gmail.comCalling the locals here, because Dean Wood, is, of course, a play on Deanwood, because the nation`s capital is where this pup`s heart is! Dean Wood is a handsome young man, with a gorgeous hazelnut brown coat and a face that will melt your heart and any remaining inner resistance in nanoseconds. A volunteer who spent time with him had this to share: This guy is just so sweet and easy! He`s a great leash walker and knows basic commands. He`s also really silly and would love someone to take him running as he loses a few pounds (for real - he likes jogging!) And now that he`s in foster we know that he sleeps through the night out of a crate and hasn’t had any accidents. A perfect houseguest so far! Dean Wood loves his people, especially if they have treats, and he is learning to love exercise as well. He is coming along well and would like continued support for this journey. Other than that, he is a gregarious pup, easy to be around and chill. Any locals here looking for a new friend??
