Story
Peanut has a pending application! Hi, I'm Peanut Jack Russell Terrier Corgi | Adult | Male | Small About Me Meet Peanut, a fun-pooch with an awesome personality that’s sure to steal your heart! Peanut was adopted a year ago, but his owner had to return to the office and poor Peanut was being crated for 10 hour stretches! Peanut is loving and sweet but really comes alive during playtime! He’d be a great mate for an active, energetic kid or three! Peanut’s sturdily built and has some quite gymnastic moves. He loves playing with squeaky toys and running around in the backyard or walking the neighborhood. Peanut is very popular at dog daycare and is a favorite playmate for the energetic! He has a very intelligent and extremely curious personality. Peanut spends most days playing, napping, and repeating. Peanut has done a great job learning not to jump on people and he’s picked up on house manners quickly. He’s very treat-motivated, so he picks up commands very quickly. Peanut would do very well in an active household and would make a perfect hiking/trail companion due to his athleticism and curious personality! My Profile Age: 4 years old Weight: 23 pounds Good with kids: Yes Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Unknown Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: Yes House trained: Yes. Crate trained: Yes Activity level: Medium-High Meet Me If you are interested in Peanut, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application at pgspca.org/adopt. Please consult our Adoption FAQ before contacting us. Please check the adoption-show-attendees page to see if Peanut will be attending the next adoption show.

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.

Age: 3 years old Size: Small — about 20 lbs Chloe is a sweet, calm, shy but very affectionate Jack Russell with a gentle personality. Once she warms up, she becomes a total cuddle bug. She’s independent, adaptable, and loves routine. She has a greedy little appetite, loves snacks, and enjoys being cozy. She sleeps with her blanket every night and is very much a homebody — perfectly happy relaxing indoors with her humans. Chloe is completely housebroken, easy to manage, and fits beautifully into peaceful homes. Chloe is ideal for someone who wants a calm, loyal, relaxed companion who loves affection but also appreciates her independence.

Story
Calling all Terrier Lovers! Meet Stewart, aka Stewie! This scruffy little character was spotted running as a stray before making his way to safety. Since arriving, Stewie has proven himself to be bright, funny, and incredibly affectionate. He’s 1–2 years old, 17 lbs, and appears to be a wire-coat Jack Russell Terrier mix. His scruffy coat and signature “poodle-hawk” tuft make him irresistibly adorable. Stewie is currently being fostered with two moms and five other dogs. He does best with playful pups and would love a young, active buddy in his new home. He’s a wonderful mix of goofy, clever, affectionate, and fun. While he can be a little shy with new people, he warms up quickly and becomes a total velcro dog, following his humans from room to room as his silly, slightly chaotic, always-lovable personality comes out. Stewie is crate-trained and almost fully potty-trained. You still need to keep an eye on him and give him consistent breaks, but he’s really getting the hang of it! His foster mom has been doing structured crate nap times, and he now settles quickly. At bedtime, he sleeps quietly in his crate, and even trots right in on his own when the treat routine starts. Good boy, Stewie! Stewart is great on leash. He stays close, doesn’t pull much, and while he can get a bit nervous with passing people or heavy traffic, he doesn’t panic. He’s already made great progress with desensitization walks and is even more confident with a dog buddy by his side. This cute, goofy boy is also an incredibly sweet and snuggly companion. He’s an active pup who loves fun and will keep you laughing, but after a good walk or some yard zoomies, he’s perfectly happy to relax on the couch or entertain himself with a toy. Stewart is ready for a family who will enjoy his spark and help him continue blossoming into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. Apply today! BREED ESTIMATE: JRT/Poodle Mix GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  17 lbs  APPROXIMATE AGE: ~  1-2 years old COAT TYPE: Scruffy, wiry coat needs regular grooming ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/neutered/microchipped LOCATION:  Herndon, VA   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. December 12, 2025, 12:50 am
