Story
Spot is personality and then some. He is not only adorable, but he is also high energy, loving, and playful. Spot came to us as a stray from PG County. He is engaging, fun, and as cute as a button! Spot gets his name from the spots down his back. He is white with black spots, and he is also marked by his perky ears, his fun-loving nature, and his interest in getting attention from everyone. Spot loves people and other dogs too (we don't know about cats or children yet). He does not seem to know basic commands yet, but he iis treat motivated and will likely learn quickly. Spot is new to PAW, so we will update his profile as we learn more about him. ##2619250##

However, I am not a fan of strangers in my home or on walks, and I can be protective of my people. I prefer slow introductions and I'll be fine once I get to know you.      My ideal home would be a rural one with a fenced yard. I am well behaved in the house and crate trained.  I’m eager to please and I like to learn. Honestly, I just want someone to love full time and I hope that person is you.  Apply today and come meet me ASAP!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
Leo is 7 years old. He was 1 of 2 in a litter. We initially adopted his brother from an acquaintance. Around 2 months old, the family that had Leo had a family emergency and asked us to watch him. 3 months later they returned and suggested we keep him since he bonded to us and our other dogs - including his litter brother. As they both aged, play-fighting got more and more aggressive. They are both neutered but no help. My wife spends a lot of time traveling for work and often takes the brother. When without the other, these dogs are great with other dogs. And always good with people. They both had formal training but that does not seem to help when they get worked up. At this point, I think Leo would be better off with the anxiety he feels around his brother. I am not in a rush to rehome him. Especially if it means finding Leo the best new family.

Story
Meet Stewart, aka Stewie! This scruffy little guy was spotted running as a stray before being picked up by animal control. Luckily, Stewie had an advocate at the shelter who reached out to rescue for help, and he’s been charming us ever since. Stewie is a social, funny, and affectionate boy, estimated to be 1–2 years old, about 17 lbs, and likely a wire-coat Jack Russell Terrier mix. His scruffy coat and signature “poodle-hawk” tuft make him completely irresistible. Stewie is currently fostered with a mom, dad, and two dogs. He’s become best buddies with one playful pup, and you’ll often find them snuggled together, while also respecting the other dog’s need for space. He does well as part of a pack and even spent Thanksgiving at his foster family’s beach house with eight adults and one of six dogs, where he fit right in and had a blast. He’d love a home with a young, playful canine companion and shares toys nicely. Stewie is a wonderful mix of goofy, clever, affectionate, and fun. He can be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and becomes a total velcro dog, happily following his people from room to room once he’s comfortable. He has a medium energy level, is crate-trained, and nearly fully potty-trained. He just needs consistent breaks and supervision as he continues to perfect his routine. His foster mom practices structured crate nap times, and Stewie settles right in. At night, he sleeps in bed with the family and their dogs; during the day, he’s often found curled up napping in his foster mom’s home office. He’s great on leash, stays close, doesn’t pull much, and walks even more confidently with a dog buddy. This sweet, silly boy loves to play and enjoys his daily walks, but after some zoomies or exercise, he’s happy to relax on the couch or entertain himself with a toy. His foster mom describes him as an easy, awesome dog, snuggly without being pushy, never destructive, and trustworthy with free roam in the home with regular potty breaks. Stewart is ready for a family who will enjoy his spark and help him continue blossoming into the amazing dog he’s meant to be.
