Story
Aero really shines when he is outside of his kennel. He has shown a friendly side and enjoys being leashed up and taken outside for walks and play time. The shelter is a bit overwhelming and stressful for him. Aero is looking for a calm place to land and in a home that will give him the tender and loving care he deserves. This little guy weighs in at only 13 pounds and hopes that this is the perfect fit for you!This pet is available at:Brandywine Valley SPCA4 DC Village Lane SWWashington, DC 20032

Story
To learn more about Hardy, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. Hardy will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Meet Hardy, a sweet pup with a big personality, a wag-worthy stub tail, and a heart full of curiosity! Found as a stray, Hardy has made it very clear he’s more than ready to be someone’s best friend. This friendly, social boy brings joyful energy wherever he goes. Hardy may be compact, but he’s sturdy and energetic, with a build very similar to a Jack Russell. He loves toys, playtime, and especially treats. A true smart cookie, he enjoys puzzle toys that let him sniff, think, and put his problem-solving skills to work. He’s doing well with both potty and crate training, and like most puppies, Hardy is still learning his manners. He has some typical puppy mouthiness during play, but with continued training and plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and positive guidance, this boy is going to shine. Hardy would thrive in an active home ready to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and smart pup who’s equal parts fun and cuddles, Hardy just might be your guy!

Our Popeye may not have superhuman strength (like the cartoon character), but he sure has super canine cuteness! He is basically like a canine toddler, who finds everything you do fascinating, so he wants to be a part of it. He enjoys other dogs to play with, toys to chew on, walks, with you by his side, and any and all attention you offer him. He is a true lap dog and reserves the right to yours every evening. This puppy is crate trained and house trained already. Sleeps through the night. His happy place is by you on the couch or your bed. If you are interested in this most adorable bundle please let us know. Questions About this Animal?
