Story
8 years old, 20 pounds Personality: energetic, snuggler, independent, loyal, smart, mischievous, outgoing, affectionate, and goofy/funny. Gimlet is a truly special terrier — bright, funny, and deeply connected to his people. He loves meeting new humans and warms up quickly, often leaning in for snuggles and happily bringing over toys to invite play. He’s also a wonderful companion who rarely barks. At home, he’s content and easy to live with: He’s house trained and trusted uncrated, opting to relax on his dog bed when left alone. He also enjoys listening to music and looking out the window, and he especially enjoys walks in wooded areas. When he’s feeling a bit mischievous, he has the adorable habit of stealing a shoe to snuggle with like it’s a teddy bear. What really sets Gimlet apart is his intelligence. He’s highly food motivated and knows a long and growing list of words, including sit, stay, wait, touch, paw, and lie down. He thrives on enrichment like treat puzzles and interactive games, and he even served as a game tester for CleverPet — he’s that quick to learn. He had a blast in agility class, but he’s not a dog-park guy and prefers quieter outings. In the right adults-only home, where he can be the only dog and have a calm, consistent routine, Gimlet will be an incredibly loyal, affectionate, and entertaining best friend. Does smart Gimlet sound like the right fit for your home?

Story
Meet Velma. This young momma dog and her three puppies were found abandoned on Kelly Mountain in Logan County, WV, discovered by a group of hunters far from any homes. When the hunters stopped, the dogs immediately approached them, friendly and social, leading us to believe Velma likely once had a home and that she and her puppies were intentionally left behind. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan stepped in and took the little family into her home until rescue help could be found. Because of her compassion and quick action, Velma and her pups are now safe and have settled into their local foster homes. Velma has proven to be a sweet, affectionate pup who is great with other dogs and good with kids, and has been fostered with both. She's still young-dog jumpy, so kids out of the toddler stage are probably best, but this is correctable behavior. She’s currently living as an only dog with her foster mom, Norie, soaking up all the attention. Velma recently visited the vet to get up to date on vaccinations and diagnostics and was given a clean bill of health as a young, healthy adolescent pup. Norie shared this update: “The vet visit went well. Velma rides well in the car and was great with the staff, a very good patient. She’s friendly with everyone we’ve met and really enjoys other dogs. She’s housetrained and hasn’t had a single accident in my house. She sleeps peacefully in a crate next to my bed at night. She’s OK on leash but needs more practice. She can get excited and a bit jumpy when she wants to meet another dog. Once she meets them, she does well, though not all dogs want to engage. Velma has some spunk and loves to play and chase balls, but she also knows how to settle down inside.I taught her sit in one day, so she’s very smart. She loves cuddling on the couch. Very affectionate. Can’t get enough of going outside and loves to go for walks." This sweet, more submissive girl will make a wonderful family dog or new pack member. She’s still a young pup who needs to learn her basic commands and fine-tune her leash skills, but her social skills and house manners are already excellent. Apply today! BREED ESTIMATE: Feist/Whippet Mix GENDER: Female APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  27 lbs APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 1.5 years old COAT TYPE: Short coat ADOPTION FEE: $425.00 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/will be spayed and microchipped LOCATION: Springfield, Va   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application.

He’s friendly with people, dogs, AND cats, making him the ultimate social butterfly (minus the wings… although, with his charm, he might as well fly).     Looking for a buddy who’s sweet as can be, adores life, and is ready to love you unconditionally?

Story
Meet Jumping Jack, a spry Chihuahua-Terrier mix with a loving personality! He has lots of pep in his step even for a 12-year old and his favorite thing to do is whatever you`re doing. From being a star shopping companion, to cozily sleeping in on snow days, he`s happiest when he`s next to you. He is a total social butterfly, loves meeting new people, and is a perfect gentleman when meeting other pups on walks.He is happiest when together, so he would do best with a family that can be with him most of the time and would prefer children to be his age or older. Don`t worry - he`s a perfect work-from-home assistant and when winter`s over he can`t wait to hang out on a patio! Because of his size and age, he does need structured bathroom breaks but is housetrained. Medically, Jumping Jack has been evaluated by a veterinary cardiologist and diagnosed with mild degenerative valve disease, which is common in older small dogs. His heart function is currently good, and he easily takes his medication to help support his heart and delay progression! Routine follow-ups will help keep him feeling his best, and a dental cleaning is recommended in the future.If you are interested in adopting Jumping Jack, please send an email to amina.aitbella@gmail.com to arrange an initial virtual meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
