Story

Skye is an adorable 8-year-old black French Bulldog with a calm, loving personality. She has a mellow to moderate energy level, enjoys short walks, soft toys, gentle play, and spending most of her time relaxing near her humans. Her typical day includes a quick morning walk, breakfast, and plenty of cozy naps, followed by evening cuddles. Skye is mostly house-trained, fully crate-trained, and has no major health issues. She is not spayed and not currently up to date on vaccinations. She would thrive in a calm, indoor-focused home with people who can give her steady companionship and a predictable routine. I am rehoming her due to an upcoming move, and I want to ensure she finds a safe, loving, and stable home where she can enjoy her years comfortably.

Story

I got her 5ish years ago from Lancaster puppies in Pennsylvania. She is a great dog and is very loving and funny. She loves to play with balloons and she loves to watch tv. She is great with any age kids or babies. She has never met a cat so if you have a cat I’m not sure how she will be but she is great with other dogs. She never bit anyone or any animal. She has a big personality. She loves to run and play. We have a 1 year old and I’m pregnant, my husband works 6 days a week almost all day and it’s very hard to make sure she gets the play time she deserves. I love her but she deserves someone who can take her on long walks and play with her and cuddle her. I want her to enjoy the rest of her long life with someone who has the energy. We also live in an apartment and it’s just a bit cramped with our family and the dog. She did nothing wrong I just want the best for her and right now I can’t give that to her. She has nicknames lol ( Lou leena, Lou Lou, klo Lena) she is a beautiful dog

Story

Roof, my name is Brody! I am a 4 year old Siberian Husky that loves to play, nap and take long walks. My friends describe me as playful, goofy, loving and always making room for treats with lots of huggies in between. You may have seen my cousins on social media but rest assured we 'huskies' are not all the same. Granted, I do shed, however, I love getting groomed and don't mind the vet. I also don't yell at the top of my lungs like a fire truck! I am really quiet and sometimes camera shy when it comes to selfies. I am professionally trained and occasionally need a few gentle reminders because I get so excited when it's time to go outside. I absolutely love car rides and playing with my pack friends at daycare. You would be my perfect match if you work from home, very active (ie. walking/biking/hiking 2-5 miles a day), have a backyard for me to exhaust my zoomies and/or have experience with my fellow husky family. I'd love to meet you and hope we can be future roomies!

Luna

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Female, Young

Alexandria, VA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Story

Luna is a gentle, quiet 3-year-old, 24lb little girl who just wants a calm, loving home. She was found running loose in PG County and spent 12 days in the shelter before being adopted. Not much is known about her past, but she’s already doing so much better outside the shelter, and her vet exam shows she’s healthy. She's fully vaccinated, spayed & microchipped. She is very affectionate, stays close, and enjoys quiet companionship. She’s has calm energy, walks beautifully on a leash, and is very well-mannered. However, she is still learning house training. Luna experiences transitional stress such as barking when left alone. For that reason, she will thrive with someone who is patient and willing to work through the transitional stress with her when she moves into her forever home . She’s polite and gentle with other dogs and would do well with a calm companion dog who won’t overwhelm her.

Story

He was born May 1st of 2023. Due to his liver enzymes being low, the vet did not recommend neutering because it was too dangerous to put him under. Because of this he has some behavioral issues with our other dog. They play well together but he licks him a lot in one spot until it gets raw to the skin. And our other dog, who is much larger, lets him, even though it stressing out. He humps occasionally as well. He also has accidents in the house. Both kinds, but usually just pee. Even if he’s gone out just an hour or two ago. Vet suggested all this is behavioral due to not being neutered and suggests that he would do better in a household with being an only dog. Plays great with my 9 year old daughter.
