Story
Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Snuggles fetch and food!  What do these things have in common?  Ranger!  These just happen to be his most favorite things!  If you too love puppy snuggles then he’s the guy for you.   After a seemingly never ending game of fetch, Ranger will happily settle down and chill with a chew bone or even better a nap snuggled up next to his favorite person.   Food is up next on his list of faves, which makes him an ideal candidate for training! He loves to learn and picks up new skills so quickly.  All he needs is a new family to continue his education. It’s hard to believe this adorable guy was taken to a shelter in SW VA after being hit by a car and no one claimed him.  After being cleared by a vet he was able to be transferred to Mutts for a chance at a better life!  It’s taken some time for us to really get to know him but after spending quality time in not one, but two foster homes (he’s so popular two foster families are sharing his time!), we’ve discovered what an amazing boy Ranger is! To note, Ranger can be uncomfortable and reactive to some dogs while on leash.  We feel with the right fear free training, time and patience, this can be managed and improved.  Ranger has had some good play sessions with female dogs and was able to coexist in a foster home with calm, female dogs.  At this time it is best for Ranger to live in a single family home with a fenced yard where his interactions around other dogs can be managed.  He is able to go for walks with a plan and lots of treats for distractions.  Trust us when we say this love bug will be worth all the extra effort!  **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org. Upcoming adoption events:   Saturday Jun 7th 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax     Saturday Jun 14th 12 - 4 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston     Saturday Jun 21st 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280 Hunnters Wood Plaza; Reston     Saturday Jun 28th 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax       We are always desperate for foster homes, now more than ever. If you are interested in fostering, please complete an application... unless you are a previous adopter/foster, then you can just contact us via phone (703-988-2608) or email (adopt@muttloverescue.org) to tell us which dog you want to foster!      For information on sponsoring this dog, please write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.   WE NEED FOSTER HOMES!

Introducing, Lucas! Have you ever seen a more handsome pup? We haven't either! But Lucas is more than just a pretty face, he is a wonderful dog as well. Lucas is about a year old and 65 lbs. Sadly, he was left in an outside kennel at a rural shelter skinny and with a neck wound. He tested positive for Heartworm Disease and has finalized his treatment and is now ready to find his forever home. Lucas is a fun loving dog! He is great with other dogs and is having the time of his life running and playing with his foster siblings. He lives for being loved on and is super sweet. If you enjoy taking your dog with you on adventures, Lucas is happy to join and rides very well in the car. Interested in learning more about Lucas? Apply at www.novapetsalive.org/adopt
