Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Tammy (tnhuck@yahoo.com) for more information about this pet.Update 13 September 2024 Pancake 6757 is a 4 year old sweetheart who has been in the rescue for quite some time. She came to us very sick and emaciated. Pancake had EPI which had been left untreated. She requires enzymes for her EPI. Her foster family has her looking beautiful! She’s healthy and is a petite girl even filled out! Pancake is a higher energy gal who would love a fenced-in yard and an energetic canine playmate. Seniors and small children would not be a great fit for her. She plays almost constantly during doggie play dates. Pancake is weighing in around 55lbs, which the vet said is a good weight for her. She does well at the vet, she is getting better with leash walking but still pulls (and she is very strong), and she does not like thunderstorms. She is a really sweet dog who would love to finally find her forever family! Please consider Pancake! Approved adopters may contact her foster parent at tnhuck@yahoo.com Update 10 June 2024 Pancake is up to a whopping 45 pounds! Fortunately, she is food-motivated so she is making really good progress. The vet suggested that she gain about another 10 pounds. Her sparkling personality is also shining through even more. She loves to play fetch with tennis balls, chew on Nylabones, and play with furry squeaky toys, which she also enjoys shredding. And that’s okay, she is a happy young lady who can entertain herself, given the right toys. She does love interaction with human beings and she will come over for attention and follow a person around the home. And she is a good guard dog with a loud, authoritative bark! To burn off some of her energy, I have taken Pancake for short (1-2 mile) runs around a local park. She gets distracted easily so it is a bit of a challenge, but she does enjoy the extra time outside and she is noticeably more poopered out at the end of the day. Her leash manners are improving but they still need some work. Sometimes she walks with neighbors and their dogs, so she is learning socialization skills. Pancake has attended two adoption events and done reasonably well. She is a little anxious in new situations but she should get better about that as her confidence grows. 4/4/24. Pancake is a really sweet 3.5 year old white shepherd. The best part about Pancake is her personality. She is affectionate, house-trained and crate-trained. She is well-socialized with people and she generally ignores or tolerates other dogs. Her foster sister Pawlina 6087 is the same way, so they usually hang out in different parts of the living room. Pancake enjoys being outside and going for walks; the world is her oyster! Her leash manners could use some work – she is stronger than she looks and she likes to sniff pretty much everything. Unfortunately, Pancake has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, or EPI. This means that she has to be on a restricted diet and have enzymes on her food. The condition is easily managed but it makes her upkeep a little more expensive and time-consuming, as the enzymes need to be added to her food with warm water, and then the mixture needs to sit for at least 20 minutes before serving. We are working to get Pancake’s weight back up to normal and to figure out what diet will work for her, as well as her enzyme dose. She had a vet appointment in March and she did great. Her blood test came back negative for heartworms, and her fecal sample was negative for parasites. She also had her nails trimmed. She came into rescue with some sores on her legs; they are healing nicely and the vet removed the blue tape on them that can be seen in some of the photos. Her right ear doesn’t stand up straight, and the vet said perhaps she had a hematoma in her younger years, but it adds to her charm. Pancake behaved perfectly the entire time at her doctor’s appointment, she had no problem being handled by the vet and the techs. Pancake is currently living in a condo and she is not a barker, so she would do fine in any type of household. She visits her foster cousins on the weekends in a single-family home, and she doesn’t play in the yard with the other dogs, she prefers the company of people. Pancake is spayed and up-to-date on shots. She is living in Arlington, VA and she plans to attend adoption events in Northern Virginia.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Cathy (cmfwebmail@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Following life as a stray and rescue from an overcrowded rural shelter, Sarge entered foster care and a new beginning. He is very sweet, smart, treat-motivated, walks well on leash, and house-trained. He is respectful meeting other dogs but not a dog park type. Although very interested in cats and other small animals, he is likely not compatible living with them. He has a medium energy but is extremely active and needs something to focus on throughout each day. He loves playing ball, traveling and exploring new places, and lots of outdoor time and activities. Sarge is working through separation anxiety with a departing routine and needs the same willingness to work it through in his forever home. He needs a pack leader with GSD experience and commitment to training, discipline, socialization, boundaries, and physical/mental challenges.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dean ( Blue collar ) came to us/me on 9/26/25 with his brother Sam (7162) ( Red Collar ) as urgent pleas from a NC animal shelter. They were in pretty bad shape and terrified. They looked and are malnourished and dehydrated and weighing 35 lbs. They are coming out of their shells. They are sweet pups that do well in their crates but don't like to be separated for long but getting better. Dean is scheduled for neuter January 14 2026. He is up to date on shots and on Nex Gard and Heart Gard. The vet puts him at about a year old. They are small and don't think they will be much more than 40 to 45lbs. ( my guess ) they are eating like big dogs almost 6 cups each a day. I gave them both baths today AND trimmed their nails! they were actually very good. They actually act like they barely knew what playing outside was about. they have that figured out now. They are in Spotsylvania, VA. near lake anna if you'd like to meet them. I am listing them as available a bit before they are ready. I prefer you to call me with questions but e mail is next best.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Belle Ann 7266 was pulled from a shelter after her owner had to go to assisted living. She’s 12 years old. This poor girl has been through so much in the last few weeks. Lost the only human she’s ever known for 12 years and is very confused. She is mostly indifferent towards other dogs and would probably prefer to be an only dog or one in a household where the dogs aren’t in her face a lot. She is housebroken and probably won’t need to be crated. She seems to be cat friendly and kid friendly. Her hips are not in great shape so more than a few stairs are out. She’ll need carpet or a house with rugs to help her get around. She’s very docile with humans but will try her best to bark and let people know she’s there if they come inside. She really just needs someone who will give her a warm bed and meals. She also needs to drop about 25lbs which should help with her mobility. Approved adopters can reach out to her foster at mcclellanka@gmail.com Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 18, 2025, 10:57 pm

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Queenie — A Sweet, Shy German Shepherd Searching for a Patient, Loving Home Queenie is a beautiful 4 year-old German Shepherd with a stunning black-and-tan coat. After a rough start in a shelter (she was pregnant and gave birth right before she was surrended to a shelter), she’s still learning how to trust the world, but with patience, consistency, and love, she has blossomed into a calmer (though still anxious), affectionate, and loyal companion. Once Queenie feels safe with you, she bonds deeply and becomes your devoted velcro dog. Queenie’s Ideal Home Queenie thrives in a peaceful, low-stress environment with someone who understands that trust takes time. She’s not a dog who warms up overnight, she may need a few months to fully settle, but she’s worth every minute. Here’s what she’s looking for: Queenie needs someone who will give her the time and space to adjust at her own pace. Once she trusts you, she’ll follow you everywhere — from room to room or straight onto the couch for cuddles. Her perfect day includes lounging on comfy dog beds, relaxing on the couch, and soaking up the safety of a secure, quiet home. She’s crate trained and sees her crate as her sanctuary, especially at night. If you have a yard, a fenced yard (6 ft preferred) will give her the comfort and freedom to enjoy the outdoors with confidence and security. Queenie does well on walks but she’s unsure around some dogs. She’ll thrive as the only pet or with a calm, independent companion who respects her space. Her timid nature means she’s best suited for a home with older children who can be gentle and understand boundaries. What Queenie Needs From You Patience — lots of it. Queenie may resource-guard a room or space when meeting new people, especially early on. This is her way of coping with stress, and with gentle guidance and time, it improves significantly. Consistency and structure. A calm, steady home will help her gain confidence day by day. Willingness to train. She doesn’t know many basic commands yet, so a patient adopter who’s ready to teach her with positive reinforcement will help her continue to build trust and feel secure. Taining with a professional would also be helpful due to her anxious nature. A loving heart. If you’re looking for a dog who will eventually bond deeply and stick by your side, Queenie will be your loyal best friend for life. Ready to Give Queenie the Second Chance She Deserves? Queenie may take time to warm up — weeks or even a few months — but once she does, her love is unwavering. If you’re prepared to be patient, move slowly, and let this sweet girl come out of her shell in her own time, Queenie will reward you with devotion, gentleness, and lifelong companionship. If Queenie sounds like your perfect match, contact: arek5@hotmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 21, 2025, 6:36 pm
