Story
Meet Winnie, 8 years oldEveryone who meets Winnie falls in love with her. Even the foster parents' neighbors are expressing how much they would love for Winnie to visit their house for pet therapy because she puts everyone in such a good mood. She loves to play with other dogs but is very gentle. This little doll baby LOVES food and treats. She is currently on a prescription diet. She has a wonderful, sweet nature. Winnie is going back in for a dental procedure in a few weeks, but we are willing to enter into a foster-to-adopt contract while you wait for it to be completed. Winnie loves everything! She will bring sunshine to anyone’s life! Apply:https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Meet Benny and Cooper, who came to CHR together. Both boys are sweet and friendly. Cooper likes to greet strangers by crawling on their lap and giving them a kiss on the cheek! Benny the extra tiny one, is a little shyer. They both love food and treats. If you like to relax watching TV, they will sit next to you and often crawl on your lap for cuddles. Because these two brothers came to the rescue together, we are adopting them together at a reduced adoption fee. Both boys have had full dentals, neutering, blood work, grooming services, and fecal tests. They are in great health and at the perfect age of 5. They are not used to going on walks, so a fenced yard would be perfect for them. If you would like to adopt these sweeties, apply here: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Meet Star!This spunky little dog was named Star because she sparkles with light.She will gleefully run up to you for attention even if she doesn’t know you. She’s the first to jump on your lap to kiss you on your cheek. You will often see her dancing on the sofa or in the house, full of happiness.Star is around 6 years old and weighs around 9 pounds. She is not accustomed to being on a leash, so a fenced yard is essential. She goes out for a potty break every few hours, like most small dogs. Star is very gentle and has never growled even once. She is perfect when being groomed and is very easy to care for.She does great around other dogs. Star had a dental and is current on vaccines and heartworm testing.

Story
Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Matty is an 8 month old, 6lb Maltipoo that was given up by his owner due to personal issues.  He is not neutered yet, but Mutt Love will be taking care of that soon.  He is playful, affectionate, learning to walk on a leash and potty outside and gets along with the other dogs in his foster home.  He does have some separation anxiety and wants to have his human within eyesight, but he travels very well and loves going with his fosters either on his leash or in his little carry sling.  He loves to sleep with his humans at night, especially snuggled up in bed with them. He also enjoys curling up next to them to watch TV or sit out on the porch.  He loves his toys and his morning zoomies too! If you're interested in learning more about Matty, please reach out to Mutt Love.  **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.
