Story
To learn more about Grumpy, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Grumpy will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Much like Snow White’s dwarf, the name Grumpy doesn’t describe his true nature. He is a high-energy, strong, extroverted, playful pup who is bursting with enthusiasm and ready to share it with anyone willing to keep up. He loves getting out for long walks and hikes, where he enjoys sniffing, exploring, and spending time with his people. Cars can make him anxious, but with patience and calm guidance (and some tasty treats) he is making progress, and once he settles he often leans in close for reassurance and affection. Grumpy can't wait to meet his new people and maybe even find a new name that reflects his joyful spirit.

Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.           Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets. Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/  or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.org.Sponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/. Donations help us offset boarding costs and additional medical treatment for those dogs who need it.  K-9 Lifesavers receives NO federal funding and survive with your generous support!For more information on K-9 Lifesavers, or to view a complete listing of all our Adoptable Dogs, visit our website at https://k-9lifesavers.org/adopt. Please “like” our Facebook Page for the most current events and new dogs.Thank you for considering a rescue dog! ##2877803##

Story
Mallory is a sweet, affectionate 10 yo German Shorthaired Pointer looking for a loving forever home in Prince George's County MD. She is spayed, 57 lbs., moderately active, and well socialized with children and other dogs. She is house trained, crate trained and command trained. She can stay home alone without separation anxiety or destructive behavior. Mallory would thrive with a securely fenced yard or two daily walks. Due to her prey drive, a home without pet birds or rodents is best; cat compatibility is unknown. She is sensitive to thunderstorms and fireworks, dislikes baths and nail trims, and occasionally urinates in her sleep so a bedtime potty break is important. She is very food motivated and will scavenge for unattended foods or trash that can lead to upset stomach. She is current on major vaccinations and microchipped. Veterinary records will be provided. I'm seeking a responsible, patient adopter who can offer Mallory a safe stable home for her senior years.

Story
Meet Gunner! Gunner is a handsome two-year-old boy with striking amber eyes and a fun, goofy personality! He came to us as an owner surrender after his previous adopters, an elderly couple in their 80s, found his energy level more than they could manage. We think Gunner may be a Beagle/German Shorthaired Pointer mix, and he’s just a great all-around dog. He is currently being fostered by Johanna and living with her four dogs and 2 cats. He enjoys being part of a pack  and loves to play with other dogs. In fact, having a playful canine companion is at the top of his wish list! But when playtime is over, he’s happy to relax on the couch, chew on his toys, or snuggle under the covers. Gunner has great house manners. He’s completely housebroken, crate trained, and quiet in his crate. He knows sit and down, takes correction well, and is learning to keep all four paws on the ground when greeting people. He’s also respectful of cats and comfortable out and about. He even did great on a recent brewery outing! Confident, social, and easygoing, Gunner is the kind of dog who fits right into the routine. He enjoys being around people and other animals but doesn’t need to be the center of attention. He does pull a bit on the leash, but his foster mom finds him easy to walk overall, and he’ll improve with practice. Walks are likely new for him. Gunner’s ideal home would have another playful dog to be his buddy. He can occasionally bark at wildlife or sounds, so a home where that won’t be an issue would be best. If you’re looking for a fun, well-mannered companion who gets along with dogs and cats and knows how to settle in at home, Gunner could be your guy!  Gunner will be coming to the DC metro area on 11/7. Apply today to welcome him home!   BREED ESTIMATE: Beagle Mix (Beagle/GSP mix) GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 35 lbs APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 2 years old COAT TYPE: Medium coat ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: UTD on shots/spayed/microchipped LOCATION: York, SC - Coming to N. Va on 11/7     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. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. October 25, 2026, 12:56 pm
