Story
Dobby is a big goofball who just loves people!   He is a volunteer favorite - to meet him is to love him.  This guy is sweet and friendly to everyone, kids included. He wants to give kisses to every person he meets, and be snuggled close to you at home.  Dobby is SO EASY in the home!  He is polite, housebroken, and knows a ton of commands.  He will relax most of the day and is accustomed to being in a crate.  When you come to let him out he smiles and wags his tail.  As an "older" fella at about 4 1/2 years, he does not need a ton of exercise and is happy to get walked.  He’s 5 years old and 69 pounds of affection (and maybe could stand to shed a few more). We suspect he is a Great Dane / terrier mix.    Dobby enjoys playing. He especially loves tug of war and fetch - he'll bring the toy back to you and expect you to tug on it for a couple of seconds, but once you tell him "Leave it" he’ll let go and start the game again. When playtime is over he has no problem calming down. He is very treat motivated, but he has no food aggression, so he will take any size treat from your hand gently.  He would love to sleep at the foot of your bed but he's perfectly happy in his own bed, especially if it’s placed in front of a door or window.  He can be dog selective so he is better as an only dog. PAW will support any adopter with some training to ensure Dobby gets off to a good start in their home. PAW places animals in the Washington, DC/Baltimore Metropolitan area only. ##1127125##

Story
Charlie is a handsome and endearing young man! His eyes will reel you in and his sweet demeanor will have you hooked. According to his foster he is a "velcro dog" always wanting to be with his person and to snuggle. He is curious and confident about exploring but doesn't mind going into his crate.  A sweet soul who is good with all he meets, Charlie would make a great family dog. He loves people and attaches easily. His high energy makes him a great playmate for kids and other dogs alike. He is a medium-large dog at 56 pounds, but he is thin, almost full grown, and will likely fill out rather than grow taller. Charlie came to PAW with his two siblings and it is evident that he has grown up in a sibling-environment in that he loves to run and play! He does, however, love to slow down and snuggle with his person. Charlie is a perfect combination of energy and attachment. ##2333491##

Story
At 58 pounds, Lacey is large and lovely, and her size is matched by her loving heart and desire to please. She is a sweet and loving puppy who is still getting used to her long legs and generous size. "Sweet and beautiful" is how Lacey's foster describes her. Lacey loves people and other dogs and her puppy energy makes her a perfect playmate for both. Lacey enjoys walks and is learning to walk on leash. She is curious and enjoys being exposed to new and different environments. She is engaged and willing to go wherever her person wants, be it on leash or in the car. Not quite one year old, everything is new and fun for Lacey! Once Lacey's puppy energy is exhausted, she loves to find a rug or warm spot on the floor or in her crate to curl up for a nap. She is a people person, she loves to snuggle, and she loves being cuddled and pet. Lacey is looking for a home where she can be loved and engaged, and where she will continue to have adventures and learn about the fun and interesting world around her. ##2333555##

Cagney is a delightful girl with a heart of gold and a thick black coat. "So friendly and people focused" is how her foster describes her. She says that Cagney is a baby and still learning her manners in the home. Sweet and loves to cuddle is how Cagney's foster describes her temperament. Ear scratches and belly rubs are the way to Cagney's heart. She is a wonderful and loving dog! Entertaining and playful, Cagney is always ready to go. At 46 pounds, she is a great size to accompany you wherever you go...park, hike, beach or backyard. She loves other dogs and enjoys meeting new friends along her walks. She is still learning to walk on leash but is learning quickly thanks to her love of treats! Cagney enjoys being around people and although she has a lot of puppy energy, she is content to relax and snuggle up with her perosn when the day is done.   Cagney is a lovely young lady who will bring joy to any home. ##2333702##

If you are interested in adopting this dog,  please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.  You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.  Dog's Name:   Bogie  (BOG0523OWSMN)Estimated Breed:   Pointer / Great Dane MIXApproximate Age:   7 yearsApproximate Weight:  94 lbsCurrently Living at:   BoardingAdoption Fee:   $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Bogie was adopted from us as a puppy. His owner had to move and could not take him with her. He lived a lot of his life in Florida but is now back in the DMV. Bogie can by quite the character! He loves toys and people but would prefer to be your one and only. Meaning, he wants to be your only furry friend. Bogie will keep you lauging with his antics and would love for you to be his forever home. Bogie is very large and would do best with someone who is familiar with his breed or large breeds. Please consider bringing Bogie into your home!Given his size and energy level, we reccomend a home without small children. A nice yard is a must. This will provide him with the space he needs to romp and play to his heart's content. Bogey needs to learn boundaries and personal space with other dogs and he would really benefit from a home that can provide him with training and guidance in socializing with his canine friends.Bogey's affectionate nature and goofball personality makes him a wonderful potential family member for the right household. It's clear that he just needs someone who understands his needs and breed, and is willing to provide the necessary guidance and training to ensure he thrives in a new home. If someone is willing to give him a chance, they will be rewarded with a loyal and entertaining companion.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, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.       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.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.

Story
Hi there! I’m Ray! I’m a 2-year-old handsome fella, and I’m a Great Dane and German Shepherd mix. Yep, I’m big — like, extra-large big — at a solid 109 pounds! But don’t let my size fool you. I’m a big ol’ softie at heart, with a lot of love to give. I have a gorgeous gray/black merle coat that turns heads wherever I go. I’m kind of a showstopper, if you ask me! I ended up here because my previous owner had to make some tough decisions due to life changes and, unfortunately, that meant I needed a new home. I’m originally from South Carolina, where I spent my first couple of years getting the hang of life.  I have lots of energy so I would love an active home! We can go on long walks and then snuggle up on the couch afterwards. Sounds like Heaven if you ask me! I will need continued training because I mean really, who doesn't??! But don't worry, I'm really smart, a quick learner, and I'm eager to please so training is a breeze with me! Now, when it comes to the little humans, they're fine. I really have nothing against them. It's just I'm a big guy and sometimes I can be a bit of a rough player - especially with my mouth! I wouldn't want any kiddos to get hurt so I'd do best in a home with much older children or adults only.  Here's the thing...cats...they're super exciting to chase. When I see one, I just want to RUN full speed towards them. So yeah, as much as I hate to admit it, a home without cats is best for me. Unless of course you don't like your cat...then I'm your guy! I'm kind of hit or miss with other dogs. I'm ok with some dogs but I tend to be kind of awkward, so other dogs don't understand me. I just don't always remember that I'm a big guy so I try to play with them and then they get hurt and then they get upset...it's a whole thing. So it's probably best that I just hang with my person/people and leave the dog playing to other dogs that can be more appropriate in play.  I'm super excited to meet you! I promise, once we get to know each other, I will be your friend for life! ##2230413##

Story
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please email the adoption counselor: lisastern.tr@gmail.com  and request an adoption application.  Dog's Name:  Bump (BUM0125CCGMD) Estimated Breed: Mini Great Dane Mix   Approximate Age:  4 years Approximate Weight:  85 pounds Currently Living at:  Foster Adoption Fee:  $400   DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Looking for a furry companion who will bring joy, loyalty, and endless love into your home?  Bump is the one for you! This stunningly handsome gentleman is ready to find his forever family. Here’s a little about him:  Personality: Bump is extremely sweet and absolutely LOVES people! He loves to play with other dogs, and his current foster describes him as having "a gem of a personality". If you are looking for BIG love, Bump has it!  Training & Behavior: This charming guy is already crate trained, housetrained, knows "sit" and will come to you when called. He needs some training on his manners, as he will jump up on you and enjoys counter surfing (but is learning that this is a "no-no".) While he has learned a lot walking on leash, Bump still needs training as he likes to zig zag around you and can pull you over with his sheer weight. In general, Bump is quiet, but will occasionally bark if he wants something. Health & Wellness : Bump was extremely underweight when he arrived in our care, but has  gained 15 lbs. and is looking pretty fit. We feel he could stand to gain a few more pounds, so he agrees that he will happily enjoy more treats!  Perfect Home: Bump is VERY energetic and needs a good amount of exercise. Currently, he walks at least 2 miles a day. We prefer to place him in an active home, especially with an adopter who has previous large dog experience. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (for dogs over 6 months old), 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, Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee. Sponsor Me! Make a tax-deductible donation today by visiting us at    https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor.    Donations help us offset boarding costs and additional medical treatment for those dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at    hattonanimalrescue.org   .

Story
This sweet dog is an owner surrender. The current family could not afford to keep him and found it difficult to feed him. We naturally offered to help but they were also having to move which new home would not allow dogs. Especially a big one! Opie is an easy dog, very sweet . He is a mix of lab and Dane. He is happy in nature and will be a great dog for any family. Because of his size Opie has been in rescue for about 5 months. Opie is a hearty eater and has been become a little protective over his food. This can be normal for dogs in rescue. Once in a home and the dirt settles, Opie will see the food will not run out and will calm down. He just needs to feel secure. Currently Opie lives in a kennel and absolutely loves it! But Danes are short haired dogs so living outside is not possible especially in the north. Opie goes in when cold or storming. Please remember dogs are area specific trained and Opie is no different. He learns fast, so upon arrival he will need to be shown where he is expected to go! RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the Pennsylvania/ New England/ Virginia area and delivered in Pennsylvania, Virginia and RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please email: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com You can also visit our website Rpacirescue.org to fill out an adoption application

Story
River is a wonderful, loyal, and sweet guy! He came to his foster through no fault of his own and thanks to his dedicated foster's love and patience, his confidence has grown immensely, and he still has room to grow. River approaches new situations with tentative interest. He can be anxious around new people and in new environments but once warmed up, River loves people (including children) and other dogs. In fact, River must have another dog in the house as he follows the lead of his current foster brother and has learned so much from him! River's daily medication helps calm him down, and this is something that his forever person will need to continue for River's benefit and comfort. River is two-years old and 75 fluffy, soft, loveable pounds. He and his foster have been working on walking on leash as River prefers to run around the yard. For this reason, River's forever home must have a fenced-in yard, and it will be important to continue the leash training and exposure to new situations. This is the best way to build River's confidence and to teach him that the wide world is a fun place to explore!  River is a masterpiece in the making! He needs a forever person or family who will be willing to love him enough to finish this four-legged work of art. PAW places animals in the Washington, DC/Baltimore metropolitan area only. ##1836418##
