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!

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

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire athttps://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.Dog's Name:   Moses  (MOS0925OWSMN)Estimated Breed:   Jack Russell Terrier / Rat Terrier MixApproximate Age:  6 yearsApproximate Weight:   23 lbsCurrently Living at:   BoardingAdoption Fee:   $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:   Hello!  I'm Moses and I will part the waters for your heart! I am one of four Terrier mixes who came all the way from a Georgia to find my forever home.     I am a small package with a lot of love to give.  If you do not want a lap dog, I am not your guy because I am AFFECTIONATE and love nothing more than being right next to my people.  I am also a happy dude whose tail does not stop wagging.  Ever.  Other than being a cuddle monster, I am a submissive guy that could use some confidence.  Socialization will be key for me (e.g. seeing new places / being exposed to new things).  In terms of doggie socialization, I love other pups so no worries there!  I also have lived with a dog-savvy cat in my previous foster home and we got along great. 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.
