Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Mars, a 3-year-old bundle of cosmic energy who is ready to orbit around his new forever family! Weighing in at just 13 lbs., this pint-sized explorer proves that the best things really do come in small, high-speed packages.A classic “type B” short rattie, Mars has an “off switch” for down time when he naps on the sofa or in a crate. He is still learning about the world, which includes potty training. Currently he does well on a schedule but still needs patience and consistency. Mars loves toys, but he also loves a recently worn shoe and might run off with it to add to his toy pile. He has mastered “sit” and would love to learn more with plenty of treats.&#226&#128&#139Because Mars has so much spirit, he’d thrive in a home that can keep up with his active lifestyle, take him on adventures, and indulge his youthful curiosity. Even though he likes to be the center of attention, he would be happy with another small canine sibling. He is also fine with kids that would enjoy his silly antics. &#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139Mars is the perfect blend of 'go-go-go' and 'love-love-love.' His personality can be summed up in three words:&#226&#128&#139Energetic: Whether it's a morning zoomie session or a brisk walk around the block, Mars has a zest for life that is truly infectious.&#226&#128&#139Playful: He never met a ball or toy he didn't like! Mars is always up for a game of fetch or a wrestling match with his favorite plushies.&#226&#128&#139Snuggly: Once the sun sets and the energy levels dip, Mars transforms into a world-class lap warmer. He is a total 'velcro dog' who wants nothing more than to tuck his head under your chin and snooze.To see more pictures of this cutie, visit https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/mars If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www.

Poolesville, MD

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Chelsea, a 4-year-old Pit Bull/Shepherd mix who may take her time warming up, but once she does, she’ll absolutely steal your heart. She’s a reserved girl at first glance—thoughtful, observant, and careful with new people—but when she decides you’re safe, she transforms into a full-on love bug who leans in for affection, follows you around, and forms a deep, loyal bond that feels genuinely earned. Chelsea isn’t a match for homes with cats, and she can be selective with other dogs, so she’ll thrive best with adopters who appreciate her boundaries and can give her a calm, structured environment where she can feel secure. She doesn’t want chaos—she wants connection. And if you’re willing to give her a little time to trust, you’ll discover a dog who gives her whole heart back. Come meet Chelsea and see why the people who know her can’t stop rooting for her. She’s ready for her person—she’s just waiting for you.
