Story
onded Pair Alert! Koda & KassidiKoda (born in 2020) and Kassidi (born in 2017) are a gentle pair of friendly German Shepherds whose world changed almost overnight. One of their beloved owners passed away, and the other was later diagnosed with cancer and could no longer care for them. Through all of that heartbreak, the one constant they’ve had is each other.Koda is a social gentleman who greets people first and gently encourages his sister that things will be okay. Kassidi was a little more reserved and leaned on Koda for reassurance when the world felt big and unfamiliar. Now, Kassidi is feeling more comfortable and starting to show her playful side- and we couldn’t be happier!They came to us quite overweight, but they’ve already begun the slow journey toward becoming their healthiest selves.What hasn’t changed is their bond. These two are deeply connected and because of that, we’re searching for a very special home with enough room (and enough heart) to welcome two large dogs who have already lost so much.To meet Koda and Kassidi please fill out an application at:https://hsfc.org/adoptions/applications/online/Or email us at farm@hsfc.org

Story
Vinny is a German Shepherd mix who apparently missed the memo that he’s supposed to play it cool.Vinny was picked up as a stray, but clearly loves people. He would absolutely prefer to get attention from you over playing with toys. He’s a proud member of the “Where You Go, I Go” club and will happily supervise every task you do.He’s brand new, so we’re still getting to know him, but so far he seems eager to please, incredibly friendly, and very, very ready to be someone’s shadow. If you’ve been wishing for a loyal best friend with floppy ears and unlimited enthusiasm, Vinny is already packing his bags.

Story
Marcos is a total sweetheart. His favorite place is next to you getting belly rubs. Marcos is a shy boy who would do best in a home with a confident dog from whom he can take cues. Once acclimated to a home and routine, he loves going for walks and sniffs. Occasionally, if something startles him, he will pull to get away from it. He is great with the other dogs in his foster home and completely ignored the free roaming cats at the shelter and his temporary foster home. Marcos is a home body who likes an occasional romp in the yard. He is house trained and his crate is his safe place. Questions About this Animal?

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 46 lbs -ESTIMATED AGE: 1 year -KNOWN WITH DOGS: good with other dogs -KNOWN WITH CATS: will know more soon -KNOWN WITH KIDS: great with kids, gentle and patient with them -KNOWN CUES: sit, down, blanket, wait- working on leash skills (the DC streets have so many interesting smells!) Not pulling on the leash anymore. -KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: no accidents (he gets walked every 4-5 hours), sleeps in the crate and can stay in there when you leave the house (will bark for a few minutes then settle down) -KNOWN LIKES: hanging out with people, playing, walks -KNOWN DISLIKES: staying in the fenced yard! He can jump a fence, so he needs a very tall fence or someone to take him out on a leash. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Bandit is coming to HT from a rural VA shelter where he was surrendered for no fault of his own. He was over looked at the shelter for so long. We're so happy he's safe with HT and in a loving foster. is a velcro dog that also likes to go off on his own adventures! Notes from the foster: Bandit is smart and affectionate. And just look at that SMILE! He went from rural life to DC city living without much fuss. Bandit enjoys playing with the resident dog but is also happy to nap through most of the day. Once he bonds with you, he might bark/ howl a bit when you leave the house, but he settles quickly and is fine being crated or left out. He does not bark much although he likes to “talk” when he is excited. Bandit is very trainable, as he likes treats and wants to please his people. He has quickly learned to wait at open doors instead of dashing out. Walks are very exciting for him, so he is working on walking at a human pace. He is highly adaptable and would be fine in an apartment or a house. If you are looking for a lovable, chill best friend, look no further than Bandit!

Story
IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit: Caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures. AVAILABLE FOR OUR FOSTER TO ADOPT PROGRAM Meet Jake! Jake is about 1 year old and weighs around 40 lbs. We believe he may be a Malinois/German Shepherd mix (just a guess!). Jake is a happy, eager-to-please boy with a sweet personality. He can be a bit on the nervous side at times, so he will need an adopter who has experience with Shepherd-type breeds and understands their needs. Jake is very smart and highly food motivated, and his foster mom is already working with him on commands. Because of his intelligence and drive, Jake could really excel as a sporting dog or in activities like agility, obedience, or other canine sports. Jake absolutely loves other dogs and would do best in a home with another young, playful dog who is his size or larger. He can be a bit pushy during play, so a confident playmate who enjoys rough-and-tumble fun would be ideal. Jake has met young children, but they seem to make him nervous. Because of this, we feel he would do best in a home with children 11 years and older, if any. As a working-breed dog, Jake will need an adopter committed to continuing his training and providing both mental and physical exercise. A home with a securely fenced yard is required so Jake can safely run, play, and burn off his energy. Jake is both house trained and crate trained and is ready to find a forever home that will give him the structure, activity, and love he deserves. 🐾 Jake is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. The Adoption Fee is $375.00 ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
