Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Fairfax, Virginia

Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Sooney came to Mutt Love from a rural shelter.  She responds best to the name “Suki”, which was her name along the way.  She is very responsive to training sessions with treats and shows confidence.  She is extremely high energy and enjoys being engaged. She loves dogs, doesn’t turn down invitations to play and plays hard.  She is responding positively to crate training.  Sooney/Suki is an escape artist, therefore a tall, solid fence is a must for her safety.  She vocalizes for attention and is a silly, bouncy girl who is well loved by her caretakers.  She would be best matched to an experienced family.  **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.

Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Sadie is a Black Labrador Retriever, possibly Terrier or Whippet mix, she's rather petite at 46 lbs! Sadie is 12 months old, she is completely house trained, does well in a crate and knows some commands.  She's been in a foster home for 2.5 months with a young male Staffordshire Ricky, her best buddy.  They love to play and run in their big yard, share sticks, tackle each other, and then nap together.  Sadie is quite athletic!  She loves to eat but is not food aggressive, she loves treats and knows to sit.  She also loves her toys and gets a little bossy but still plays well and enjoys a companion.  She also goes often to open play daycare and plays well with dogs of all sizes! Sadie is affectionate to all people, sometimes she thinks she belongs in your lap, and she does jump so small children may not be an option though she's super smart and could certainly benefit from some obedience training.  She loves her walks, she pulls some but learns and takes direction.  She's an awesome girl that is spayed and utd on vaccines and ready for her very own home!  **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.

Mr. Chill has arrived. Vader is extremely sweet and gets along with everyone he meets. He loves attention and especially petting sessions. He's only 2 years old, is black and tan and weighs approximately 60 pounds. He'd be the perfect TV companion as well as a nice calm walker for those who like to take daily walks in the park. Once you meet this sweetheart you will fall head over heels in love.To see Vader by APPOINTMENT ONLY, submit an online dog adoption application at http://hsfc.org/adoptions/applications/online/. An adoption counselor will contact you--typically within three business days--to discuss with you the type of dog you are looking for and to see whether we have a good match for you. Our counselor will discuss the next steps afterward.Our dogs and horses are NOT at the HSFC shelter at 4057 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax, VA--only our cats, birds, rabbits, and small mammals can be visited there. Our dogs and horses are housed at our private farm in Centreville.

Winkle has a lot of energy and needs a fair amount of exercise. He is playful and enjoys active play. He loves to retrieve balls in the yard as well as chase squirrels. He is very sweet and loving. Winkle knows sit, stay, down, off and come. He also will sit patiently and give you each paw while you clean or dry his feat. He is housebroken and crate trained and does very well in his crate overnight. Winkle is apprehensive when new people first enter the home and needs a patient person who will work with him. He adjusts quickly after his initial barking reaction. He walks well on the leash but needs coaxing to get in the car and is making good progress. He needs to be in a quieter home without children or teens running around and a fenced yard to run around and play in. He is very patient with other dogs, and would do very well in a home with another active dog. He was in a home with cats and did very well. Thank you for your interest in Winkle! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=14932 to get the most up-to-date and accurate information on this pet, to email the contact person listed for more information and how to meet Winkle, or to submit an online application.

Wally is an affectionate and energetic pup who has been long searching for his furever family! His foster mom says that Wally is one of her absolute favorites after fostering dogs for over 10 years. That's because this boy is full of personality and sure to put a smile on your face.Some of Wally's favorite things to do are curl up next to his people and chill, and the other is playtime. Wally takes a few days to warm up to new dogs but once he does, he is all about romping around with his canine companions. He currently lives in foster with 4 other dogs, both large and small. Surprisingly his boss is a 10-pound Chi mix. He is housetrained, crate trained, and an all-around good boy in the home. His leash manners are a work in progress, and he can be a little quirky at times (like the time he was scared of the Halloween ghost decoration at the vet's office), but this just adds to his unique Wally-ness. Wally is best suited in an experienced home that can provide him with structure, and one where he can bond over training techniques and help him understand that silly things like ghost decorations aren't scarry. He is ready to give and receive lots and lots of unconditional love. Apply to adopt Wally! Thank you for your interest in Wally! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=16607 to get the most up-to-date and accurate information on this pet, to email the contact person listed for more information and how to meet Wally, or to submit an online application.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: elenahtar@gmail.com PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Schedule a meet and greet through the Adoption Coordinator LOCATION: Foster home ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Elena elenahtar@gmail.com ADOPTION FEE: Scout's fee has been waived. INCLUDES spay/neuter and microchip. **Ask me about our many adoption benefits that include free exams, pet insurance, training and other discounts! ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Does your best friend need a best friend? Having a hard time keeping up with your dog always wanting to play? Tired of going to the dog park, only to arrive and there aren't any fun dogs? Why not watch your pups bound around your own backyard, having the time of their lives? Enter Scout, your dog's new best buddy by day, and the sweetest, softest lap dog by night. He loves to play, loves every dog he ever met, loves his human friends, and is a top rated cuddler. He also loves to hike, jog, attend doggie daycare, chew on bones, and will do anything for a treat. He's a graduate of two obedience courses and has had a ton of training at home. He knows many commands, is crate trained, and has fantastic recall (coming when he is called, even when chasing a deer or rabbit or playing with a dog). He is very trainable; he loves to learn and to please. He is on the submissive side and adjusts well to dogs with different play styles. One of his trainers said his ability to read cues from other dogs and adapt is exceptional. Although a playful dog friend would keep him busy, he would do ok as only dog if provided with enough exercise and mental stimulation. He has lived with another dog and loved it, and has also lived with cats and done well with them! He likes to get up first thing in the morning and cuddle. He is happiest when he's either snuggling with a human buddy on the couch, playing with a dog friend, out on a walk, or getting treats. He has a ton of love to give, and has a super sweet and delightful personality. Occasionally there will be a person that he is nervous around, but for the most part he does well even in crowded situations. He has had training specifically to help him stay calm and check in with his owner when something makes him nervous and is doing great with it. Due to his submissive nature, he feels most happy and relaxed when there are rules and structure rather than being allowed to do anything he wants. Some final nice things about Scout: he is really great walking on leash and not pulling (even if there's a bunny rabbit), doesn't eat food left on counters or beg, is not at all picky about food, never has any kind of accidents indoors, and isn't mischievous. A few quotes from trainers who have worked with Scout "He's such a good dog. He really deserves a family. His training is so good! I'm very impressed, and I think it should transfer well to his new home with some help. "Scout is suuuuch a well behaved dog, you've done such an incredible job with his training. Seriously!!! He is SO good with other dogs. He's a master of body language and how to respond to it, and so amazingly stable and neutral. ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 65 lbs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Scout gets along great with other dogs; he almost always wants to play with them but is submissive and responsive to their signals. He likes both wrestling and running and is pretty gentle with smaller or lower-energy dogs. He has lived with a bossy dog who always took his toys and bones from him and he rolled with it very well. KNOWN WITH CATS: Scout has lived in a home with cats and would do great with a social and playful cat. He loves cats and gets very excited when he sees them. However, he is responsive when told to "leave it if he wants to greet a cat who is afraid of him. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Scout has done well with meeting kids of all ages (including babies). We recommend older kids because Scout enjoys destroying and eating stuffed animals and soft plastic toys. He has sometimes been nervous when young kids have grabbed him from behind or run around screaming. KNOWN COMMANDS: Scout is very human-focused, treat motivated, and responsive to commands. He learns quickly! He responds to his name when we need his attention, and knows: here /come, heel, sit, down, touch, paw, drop it, watch me, leave it, place, and stay. He has an exceptional amount of training; and he comes with two free additional training sessions (one in Sterling, VA, and one in Alexandria, VA (or your home if in their service area)). KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING and/OR CRATING: Scout is fully housebroken (no accidents), and he does fine in a crate. He sleeps in a crate at night, and stays in a crate when his foster parents are out of the house. He has also been fine when left alone out of his crate. He does sometimes whine when crated if his parents are still at home (for example while his foster parent does an exercise video) but settles eventually. KNOWN LIKES: Scout loves hiking, going to the dog park (or playing with dogs anywhere), playing with toys (indestructible ones, or closely supervised with things like rope bones), having houseguests, and having a chance to run around and play! He is very smart and loves training, working out puzzles, and "scent work (finding kibble or treats we've hidden for him). He also loves both walks in the city and hikes in nature. He does best with at least two good play sessions and walks per day. He loves cuddling and resting his head on your lap. KNOWN DISLIKES: Scout does not like thunder. He doesn't like getting his nails trimmed, and is working on staying calm during trims.

ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 45 lbs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Rose needs slow introductions to other dogs in order to be comfortable with them. KNOWN WITH CATS: Rose has not yet met a cat so we do not know KNOWN WITH KIDS: Rose has met and seems to enjoy humans of all ages. She has lived with small children and done very well. KNOWN COMMANDS: She has the basics down pat! She loves playing fetch. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Rose has been doing a great job with both house training and crate training! She's pretty chill so her foster mom leaves her out of the crate when Rosie is home alone. KNOWN LIKES: Treats. Exercise. Mental and physical exercise. Dogs of all sizes. People of all ages. KNOWN DISLIKES: None known at this time! Rose's foster says: "Rose is a delightful 5-6 year old lady who was surrendered when her owner could no longer afford to take care of her. She is a healthy, happy girl who knows basic commands and appreciates the comforts of a home and has been a stellar houseguest. She is house trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and really just likes to be near the humans she chooses to attach herself to, preferably on the couch. She is excited to go for walks, sniff new things, and explore her space, but after a bit of activity is ready for quiet time and a nap. She doesn't seem to be interested in toys so far, but thinks treats are awesome, and it shows. Perhaps her new family could reward her with more play and attention than treats. She has shown herself to be a really good, well behaved, quiet girl who just wants to hang out and check in periodically by getting some pets and attention. Fun fact: Rose is ambidextrous! When she is getting a good scratch by her humans, her scratch reflex affects both her left and right hind legs. Additional observations: She went into her crate willingly (we put a few treats in), was fine when we close the door, and she didn't make a sound and slept all night. Rose makes for a good coworker, she is pretty quiet and just wants occasional pets and butt rubs. Otherwise she just sleeps. We met both adults and kids (a baby and a 5-year-old) on our walks, and she was great. Wags her tail so much I think she might wag it right off! She loves the attention and was very gentle and gave a little lick when the 5 year old petted her. We've been getting her on a schedule for feeding (twice per day), and she has been eating it all (we've been mixing dry with a bit of wet food). She likes car rides!" More Rose info: Meet Rosie, a 5-6-year-old, 44 lb white Labrador mix with an abundance of love to share. In spite of being abandoned at a high-kill shelter in rural Southwest Virginia for no good reason, Rose's spirit remains unbroken, and her heart is ready to bloom once again in a loving home. She's a true gem, and her gentle nature and loving demeanor are bound to win your heart. Temperament: Rose is a shining example of the Labrador's renowned affectionate and gentle personality. She's a relaxed and laid-back girl, exuding a sense of calm and comfort wherever she goes. Rose's tranquil nature makes her the perfect companion for those who appreciate quiet moments, cozy cuddles, and the joy of having a loyal friend by their side. She'll happily play and engage in fun activities if you want to, but she's also content just lounging by your side. Physical Description: With her pristine white coat, Rose is a vision of elegance and beauty. Her soulful brown eyes mirror the depth of her emotions, and her endearing expression is sure to melt your heart. She's the perfect blend of grace and charm, wrapped in a dog with so much love to give.

Copper is being virtually fostered by Palisades Veterinary Clinic. We thank Palisades Veterinary Clinic for giving Copper additional exposure so we can get him adopted right away! If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: adoptioncenter@homewardtrails.org PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Come meet adoptable dogs every Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM - 4 PM at our Adoption Center located at 11116 Fairfax Station Rd.

LOCATION: Adoption Center ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Adoption Center ADOPTION FEE: $475 ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 50 lbs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Copper is good with other dogs but needs help regulating himself. He can hump if given the opportunity. KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not currently know how they are with cats. He has expressed a high level of prey drive while on walks so it might be best to put him a home without the kitties. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Copper did well with the newborn in the house. We think he will do well in a home with children. KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit, done, come, wait and kennel. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Fully housebroken and crate trained. KNOWN LIKES: Playing, treats and training! KNOWN DISLIKES: None yet! ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Copper, the lovable canine companion with a heart as golden as his namesake hue. With an estimated weight of 50 lbs, Copper is the perfect blend of strength and affection, ready to steal the hearts of all who cross his path. In the realm of canine camaraderie, Copper is a social butterfly, displaying a friendly demeanor towards his fellow four-legged friends. However, he may need a little assistance in regulating his excitement, as he's been known to engage in humping behavior if given the opportunity. With proper guidance and training, Copper will learn to navigate social interactions with grace and ease. While his feelings towards cats remain unknown, Copper has exhibited a high level of prey drive while on walks, suggesting that a home without feline companions may be the best fit for him. When it comes to children, Copper has proven himself to be a gentle and patient soul, thriving in the presence of a newborn in his previous home. With his sweet nature and friendly disposition, we believe Copper would make an excellent addition to a family with children. In terms of training, Copper is already well-versed in basic commands such as sit, down, come, wait, and kennel.

Spencer is a fantastic dog. He never has any accidents in his kennel run and waits to go potty until he is outside in the play yard. Here is what his person who could no longer keep Spencer, through no fault of Spencer's, had to say about him: 'Spencer is a very, very sweet dog. He is very friendly with other dogs, cats and children. He loves to play with other dogs and loves cuddling. He is always happy and friendly. He is the quintessential Disney Pixar pup! He is pure gold' The couple asked that ideally he would go to a home with a large fenced yard and another playful pup or a home with someone very active as he is a wonderful walking, jogging or hiking companion. They also emphasized how much he loves to cuddle with him person. Let us know if you are interested in Spencer - he is a wonderful bundle of fun, intelligence and affection!
