Because Pretzel’s past is unknown, we may never know exactly how she was hurt, but we do know she deserves comfort, healing, and the chance to grow up without pain.Rescue Dog & End of Life Sanctuary took Pretzel in and arranged x-rays, which confirmed she has a broken hip. Thanks to Jeffrey Locke’s rescue flight, Pretzel was brought to the Fauquier SPCA, where she can access the care she urgently needs.The always amazing Dr. Pat Denney will perform Pretzel’s Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery at Reston Animal Hospital. This procedure will help relieve her pain and give her the best chance at a happy, healthy future and eventually, the forever home she deserves.We need to raise $2,000 to cover Pretzel’s surgery and help her take the next step toward a full, pain-free life. Our incredible community has always rallied for dogs facing urgent medical needs, and we are asking you to rally once more for this sweet, happy puppy.Please donate if you can, and please share this post and Pretzel’s story. Every gift, every share, and every kind word helps bring her closer to the safe, loving future she has always deserved.

Story
Hi! My name is Pinecone (don’t ask me where that came from). 🐾 The world is still pretty new to me, so sometimes I get a little overwhelmed. But once I know I’m safe, I love to explore. I also like to chase my tail. I’m lucky it’s so long because I WILL catch it someday. I know I’m supposed to go potty outside, but sometimes I just can’t hold it yet! I also know my crate is a safe space, but if I can see you, I’d really rather be with you. I don’t even mind baths. The first time, I wasn’t sure what was happening, so I jumped in to get a better look...and then suddenly I was all wet! I learned how to do these things called steps, and sometimes I like to skip the last one on my way down. That's how I roll. My foster mom says I prance around like a baby goat, but I’m not sure I know what a goat is yet. I do know there is no other dog in the oven. I thought there was, but it turns out it was just my reflection. My foster mom could have given me some warning before she opened the oven to prove it, though. I about lost my mind 🤯. I like being held and being near my people while they do their human stuff. Did you know sending an email can make a whoosh sound? I was a little weirded out by that at first, but I get it now. I’m looking for a family who will help me continue getting to know this big world and teach me all the things I need to know to become the very best boy I can be. A calm home would be best, so I don't get overstimulated. Is that you? If so, please apply so we can be together forever. ❤️

Story
Introducing, Odele! She is 9 weeks old and ready to steal your heart. The first thing you will notice about this puppy is her cuteness (obviously), but also her unique coloring. Note the black strands on her tail that make it look like it was dipped in ink. The second thing you will notice when you've spent any amount of time with her is that she is really smart. I know all "Mom's" say this, but on her first day she was letting out a bit of a whine on the way to the door when she was ready to go out. Her temperament is fantastic. Everyone is amazed at how well behaved she is. She is doing great in her crate and has not had any accidents in the last week. She has bursts of playful energy and adorable bounciness followed by extended naps. She loves belly rubs and is a great car traveler. She is always wagging her long tail. She will follow you around if you leave the room, but is not clingy. She has been friendly and requested head scratches from everyone. She has also met a few furry friends and small children and is patient and playful with all.She plays independently and is really good at fetch. She eats well but is not food aggressive. Despite her small size, she has done stairs since the day we got her. She is fearless! An all-around great puppy. Complete your Meet and Greet request asap if you want to add this sweet puppy to your family.Adoption Day: October 10th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:0010:30 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt. Some pups may stick around until 11:00 AM for the public event-check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun! ##2848507##

Story
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 30 lbs -ESTIMATED AGE: 2.5 months as of October KNOWN WITH DOGS: Butterscotch’s first best friend is her sister, Pearl! The two love to romp and wrestle together. She hasn’t met other dogs in her foster home yet. KNOWN WITH CATS: Butterscotch hasn’t been introduced to cats, so we’re still waiting to learn what she thinks of feline friends. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Butterscotch loves spending time with the kids in her foster home, ages 6 and 15! Sometimes her excitement gets her feet bouncing, so she’s practicing keeping all four paws on the floor when her human playmates arrive. KNOWN COMMANDS: “Come” and “sit” are on the puppy class schedule! Butterscotch is eager to please and happily accepts payment in treats. She listens especially well once she’s had a chance to calm down and focus. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Butterscotch is making great strides with potty training! She uses papers or pee pads in her smaller daytime space and is learning to go outside. A consistent potty schedule helps her succeed, and she does a great job going out right after waking up. In larger spaces, playtime can be so exciting that she forgets where to go. She is crate trained and sleeps in her crate overnight, with an occasional nighttime potty outing. KNOWN LIKES: Did someone say PLAYTIME? Butterscotch loves chew toys, backyard zoomies, and playful wrestling matches with Pearl. Her puppy enthusiasm is contagious, and she’s always happy to recruit a human for some fun! KNOWN DISLIKES: Loud or sudden noises can startle this little girl. Stairs are still a big adventure—she’s learning to climb up, but the journey down is saved for another day. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Butterscotch is a happy little whirlwind of energy, kisses, and love! The more energetic half of this sister duo, she brings a spark of fun wherever she goes. Once the zoomies are finished, this busy girl is ready to snuggle right up. With Butterscotch, you get a playful sidekick and a sweet cuddle buddy in one adorable package!
