Story
Meet Manchester City! Looking for her forever home! This sweet 4.5-month-old girl is searching for the perfect family to call her own! Loves being outdoors and would happily spend hours exploring and playing. Full of puppy energy and loves her toys. Gets along great with our resident dogs and would thrive in a home with another playful pup, though she could also do well as an only dog with plenty of attention and exercise. Does well with cats. Great with kids. Sleeps quietly in her crate at night. Currently working on potty training and making great progress! She would do best with an active family that can give her plenty of exercise, love, and room to run and play. A home with a fenced yard or plenty of space to run would be ideal. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate, and adventurous companion, this girl might be your perfect match! Adoption Day: July 11th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 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! ##2763067##

Story
Messi is a sweet and playful pup who also all people, dogs, and cats if they're willing!  He loves to chase a ball and even brings it back sometimes. He sleeps quietly thru' the night in his crate (not as happy in the crate when his people are leaving, but doing pretty well for a baby just weeks into rescue, good boy!) Walking on a leash is a new concept and he's not sure about it, but taking that literal leap of faith to please his people (i.e. over a threshold to a lower step that he can't see!) and will gain confidence quickly. Even his first week in foster he was so close to potty trained, an accident here and there----which usually means human error, tbh!-----and so far 100% now in his second week, what a great, smart and wants-to-learn pup!! Great with all dogs so far, and with the resident cats jhis first week in foster (current home doesn't have cats, but he was great when they were in the same  house) and is just the most cuddly little lovebug. Be the lucky person who gets to take him home and OMG, you will absolutely melt that first time he quietly comes over and puts his chin on your lap to gaze at you with abiding love and adoration just because you're you. Adoption Day: Send a meet&greet request, fall in love with this sweet, loving, playful boy to be a reserved adopter, then take him home July 11th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 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! ##2763068##

LOCATION: Linden, VA Chip's adoption fee is fully sponsored — lucky pup! 🐶 Meet Chip! Chip is a fun-loving, energetic pup with a big heart and an impressive affinity for fetch – he’s truly a natural athlete! Whether he’s chasing a ball or entertaining himself with his toys, Chip brings a playful spirit and joy to everyday life. He also loves baths! Chip may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he feels comfortable, his affectionate and loyal personality shines. He forms strong bonds and loves being close to his people—whether that’s relaxing on the couch or lying at your feet while you work. He’s still a puppy, though, and can get a little mouthy or overly excited during play but redirects well when given cues and boundaries. He will thrive in a home that offers structure and encouragement where he can continue building confidence. • Secure yard: Chip loves having space to run and play freely. • Exercise: He’s an active pup who benefits from regular playtime. He’s improving on leash walks but can still be a little fearful in new environments. • Companions: Chip has done well with other dogs, from calm companions to rough-and-rowdy playmates. He is also good with cats! • Crate trained: Chip does well in his crate and settles nicely, sometimes putting himself in for naps or chew toy time. He sleeps through the night and does not have crate accidents. • Potty training: Chip is still working on potty training and will need continued consistency and routine. • Toys: Chip has experienced a lot of change in his short life so far and can sometimes be protective of toys or high-value items, but he responds well to trades and positive reinforcement. • Kids: Chip does well with older children who can respect his space and help him continue building confidence. Are you Chip's hero? If so, apply to adopt today!
