Story
Do you like fuzzy dogs?  Minnie is the girl for you!  This happy playful girl is just over one year old and 28 pounds. She came to PAW labeled as Border Collie, but her foster thinks she is more Jack Russell Terrier mixed with some kind of retriever that gives her a beautiful coat. In her foster home, she has two dogs to play with--and she loves to play. She would probably do best in a home where she has another resident dog, and a fenced-in yard where she can run. Minnie does great in the home.  When she tires out from all that play, she loves to lie in your lap or on your foot. She will "follow you around and will lean into you or attempt to sit on part of you if you are still," says her foster. She wants to be with her person/people all of the time! She trusts her person and will let him/her take things from her that she shouldn't have. Minnie loves her toys and will run around the house with them, chewing them, tossing them in the air, and bringing them to her foster to engage.  She loves to chew and an assortment of hard chew toys keep her happily occupied. While she is great in the home she is not great on walks.  When on leash she tends to bark and lunge at things that move..  She is very smart and motivated by treats, so she's been quick to learn and she wants to please - but she will need someone willing to work on training and who can walk her in the woods or more quiet places.  Minnie would do well in a home where she can be walked with regularity and given playtime and training. Her foster believes that she wold be fine with respectful kids over five-years old.  Minnie can be afraid of a quick approach, and needs a stable and calm home, one in which she can feel safe. That being said, she warms up quickly and then sweetly trusts. Minnie has visited the foster's neighbor, who has a cat, and although it was sleeping upstairs Minnie sniffed all of the cat stuff (beds, scratch pads, etc) with casual interest…..far different than the fixed, assertive stance she takes when near the scent of a squirrel, so she may be able to cohabitate with felines, but we are not yet sure. Minnie is a fun dog to be around. She is very agile, and can leap and run, so she is a perfect candidate for agility training. If you want a loving, energetic companion, Minnie is the perfect dog for you. PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, southern PA region. ##2627837##

Story
Pollywog is a young, 20-pound 4yo sweetheart with a happy, energetic, playful spirit and an even bigger heart. Per her foster, "she has a disarming sweetness that invites protection and love"!       At just 20 pounds, she's the perfect size for almost any home—and whether she's romping with another dog or curled up beside her favorite person, Pollywog is anxious to please and is happiest when she's sharing life's adventures with her person. Pollywog enjoys playing with other dogs and would likely love a canine companion to help show her the ropes.  She is on low-doses of anxiety medication as she had separation anxiety when she first arrived from the shelter.   For the past 2 1/2 months, however, she has been blossoming in her foster home, gaining confidence and learning good manners thanks to her foster's efforts and the lead of her foster brother. She's treat-motivated, learning commands like "sit" and "down" and making great progress with gentle reminders that playtime shouldn't include puppy teeth. She has become potty-trained.   She goes into a crate with the encouragement of throwing in a couple of treats, and she sleeps through the night (currently in bed with her foster human and foster brother). She loves chew toys, ear rubs, brushing sessions, and just about any attention you're willing to give.  She'll happily follow you from room to room like your own little shadow.  When visitors come to her foster's house, she settles down quickly and just wants to cuddle and be petted. Pollywog is looking for a family who will continue building her confidence with consistency, patience, and lots of love. In return, you'll get an affectionate, playful companion who's always ready for the next adventure—or the next cuddle. PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, and southern PA region. ##2743433##

Story
Hi, I'm Ernest! I'm a charming little pup with a brave spirit and a whole lot of love to share. I'm always ready to explore, play, and experience new things, but I also have a softer side that enjoys calm moments and plenty of affection. I can be a little reserved when I meet new people, but with kindness and patience, I'll show you what a sweet and loyal friend I can be. I'm searching for a forever home where I can continue growing, learning, and bringing endless puppy joy to my new family. The nice folks at RDR will update my profile when they learn more about me. I cannot wait to find a forever home where I can share all the love I've got to give. A note from RDR: We're still working on figuring out which puppy is which! Earl, Eevee, and Ernest are siblings, and since they look so much alike, their photos are currently the same while we get to know each of their unique personalities. We'll update their profiles with individual pictures and more details as we learn more about these adorable pups. Please visit our website www.ruraldogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing dog and to see other dogs available for adoption!

Dilly’s story started in a crowded Alabama shelter, where she, her three siblings, and their dad, Beau, found themselves waiting for a second chance. Thankfully, K-9 Lifesavers stepped in, and now this adorable little family is safe and ready to find their forever homes! Dilly has loved spending time in the puppy pile with her siblings, but what she really dreams of is having a family of her very own. Could that be you? With dad Beau (pic included) weighing in at a compact 27 pounds, Dilly is expected to stay on the smaller side. She appears to be a Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund/Hound mix—but one thing we know for certain is that she is 100% adorable! This sweet little gal is friendly, playful, and enjoys making new canine friends. Like any young puppy, she is curious about the world and ready to learn. She is at the perfect age for training, socialization, and bonding with her future family.

Apply today and give this deserving little lady the forever home she's been waiting for! 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.orgSponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/  .
