Story
Sawyer came from a hoarding situation. He is a bit shy but with the help of our staff and a loving adopter he will make a great addition to any family. He needs to interact with people as he didn't get much interaction in the situation he was in. We are working on leash and potty training. He is 7 years old and fully vetted, heart worm negative and microchipped. He is in need of a loving family to love him so he can show them his love as well. Won't you please consider adding Sawyer as a new family member? He is being fostered in Tennessee, but we transport using the most animal friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport.

Story
Meet Freddy D! This professional sleeper and part-time literary icon, looks exactly like he just stepped off the set of PBS cornerstone “Wishbone” and decided fame was a little TOO exhausting. Freddy is a bright, social boy who adores meeting new people and soaking up love and attention. He's also curious - at the vet, he continually tried to dart through any open doors, not to escape but to explore, take notes for future TV show ideas, and make new friends. Freddy doesn't require a lot of exercise but he is plenty mobile. He's good on a leash, can go up and down stairs, and is a great copilot in the car. He doesn't mind staying home alone while his humans are out and gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home - though he'd do best in a home without bossy dogs. Freddy is looking for a home that is generally calm and quiet, has lots of soft beds and blankets for snoozing, and humans to lay on the couch with. He loves wandering the yard as well as going for a daily walk, and is always interested in what's going on around him. He gets the cutest little bounce in his step when his foster mom comes home and tries to race her to the back door! Freddy has some kidney issues and while his bloodwork has improved dramatically since coming to the Haven, he'll need to stay on special kidney food for life and his vet will need to keep an eye on his bloodwork going forward. Due to his kidneys, Freddy has to pee a lot so he does best rocking a belly band around the house. Freddy is very sweet, takes correction well, and just wants somewhere soft to lay his head. He is happy to hang out on the couch with you for as long as you want. He also looks very spiffy in a sweater. Apply today to meet him! Freddy is approximately 9 years old and 13 lbs. Fostered in Richmond, VA Please apply at MirisHaven.org

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit: Caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures. Meet Frida! Frida is about 8 months old and about 12 lbs. We think she is a JRT/Chihuahua Mix - Just a Guess! Frida is a sweet, cautious and playful pup. She LOVES to be her foster dad's companion and attends barber shop appointments, shopping duties and just going wherever he needs to go. Frida also enjoys stroller rides - lol. Frida is wonderful with the two large dogs in her foster. She wants to play just like the "big dogs". Frida is good with the resident cats, but if there are cats in her forever home they should be dog savvy and know how to put a dog in her place:) Frida is doing great on house training, but needs a consistent schedule. Frida is not a pup who will tolerate being alone during the day as she enjoys running errands and laying on your lap while you work. Frida is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. The Adoption Fee is $400.00 ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Story
Sherman (aka Shermie or Sherm) is a handsome little rat terrier mix with a heart full of love. Rescued from a busy shelter where he was too nervous to shine, he's now thriving in foster care in Northern Virginia and showing his true, gentle spirit. About 2–3 years-old and 15 lbs., Sherman is sweet, sensitive, and playful. He may need a little time to warm up to new people, but once he trusts you, he becomes a deeply loyal companion who loves being by your side. He enjoys other small dogs and has a submissive, easygoing play style. Sherman would do well with a confident canine buddy — or as an only pup soaking up all the attention. He'd really thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day. Though he can be a bit skittish when first being leashed, he quickly relaxes and truly enjoys walks, car rides, and playdates with his small dog friends. Sherman is progressing nicely with house-training and does well on a consistent schedule.  He has gotten along well with cats but has not been tested with children. Due to his sensitive nature, he'd likely do best in a calm home without young kids. With patience and love, Sherman will blossom into a devoted little shadow who bonds deeply and gives his whole heart.  For more images and video of Sherman, please visit: https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/sherman If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.March 6, 2026, 6:28 pm

Story
We will never know Raya’s past, but she came to us from the shelter as a stray with urine stains on her fur and recently healed scars on her head and side. Raya is believed to be around 4 years-old and is probably a mix of rat terrier and chihuahua, now at a good weight of 9.5 lbs.! She had her spay and a small benign mass removed from her left armpit shortly after arriving, and saw specialists to address extreme pain during bowel movements. Finally, in November 2025, she had double knee surgery to correct her painful injuries. Although Raya has healed well she will probably remain a little lame on her right rear leg but that doesn’t stop her at all! She is back to going up and down stairs, can now get up on the sofa by herself, and is even dancing for her breakfast! Although she has mostly done well with the other resident dogs, she has displayed signs of resource-guarding with her crate. These behaviors might be related to the physical scars she has and her experience with other dogs prior to the shelter, so she would do best in a home with no children or dogs. Although she can be a bit barky at people and dogs when out walking, she is very treat-motivated and can easily be redirected. When introduced to the resident cat, Raya did not seem interested. Even though Raya does not ask to go out, she is reliably house-trained on a schedule. Raya is cute as a button, recovered from knee surgery, and is ready to start looking for her forever home. Considering Raya’s past, she would do best in a home where she would get all the attention and not have to share her human(s). You can see more of Raya in her online photo album at https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/raya Because of her past injuries and recent surgery, we are looking for a local adopter to be able to meet her and learn more about her! If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.February 11, 2026, 6:44 pm
