Story
Meet Elsa ❄️Elsa is a 2‑year‑old Pointer mix who traveled all the way from Georgia to find her forever family. Her name may be associated with snow, but this is actually her first winter experiencing it — and she has been absolutely delighted, hopping around and exploring like it’s the best thing she’s ever seen.When we first met Elsa on transport, one thing was highlighted in bold: LOVES KIDS. And it couldn’t be more true. We even saw a video of her with a child, where she happily rolled over at their feet for gentle belly rubs. She’s a soft, sweet soul who thrives on kindness and calm affection.Though her photos make her look like a big girl, Elsa is actually about knee‑high on most of our staff — that perfect “just right” size for kids to walk, cuddle, and grow up with.Being part Pointer, Elsa does enjoy watching birds, rabbits, and other wildlife when she’s out and about. She’s observant rather than intense, but adopters should expect a little bit of that classic Pointer curiosity.Elsa gets along with other dogs, though she prefers canine friends who are more independent. She’s not a rough‑and‑tumble playmate — she’s a snuggler, a leaner, and a companion who wants to be close to her people.She can be cat‑tested with an approved application.If you’re looking for a gentle, kid‑loving, snow‑discovering sweetheart who wants nothing more than a cozy home and a family to adore, Elsa might be the perfect match.Elsa's adoption fee is $175, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: https://www.acskc.org/adopt-1Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet!

Story
Name: Precious Sex: Female Estimated Age: About 6 years old Best Guess for Breed: Pointer/Bulldog Mix Weight: About 45 lbs Lives With: Dogs, cats and people! Housebroken? She’s crate and potty trained! Story: Precious comes to us from a shelter in Alabama. We are so happy to have her safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Precious is a sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Precious is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Precious will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! The fee to adopt Precious is $475. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, her spay, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. If you think that Precious might be your perfect match, apply today!       February 1, 2026, 7:38 pm

Story
Meet Remmington   Remmington is a sweet, gentle male Pointer mix who’s had a rough start but is ready for a fresh beginning. He was picked up by animal control after being found roaming alone in a business parking lot, likely abandoned or neglected. Despite everything he’s been through, Remmington’s kind heart still shines through.   Remmington is timid and shy at first, especially with strangers, but that’s completely understandable given his past. With a little patience and a calm environment, he begins to relax and show his sweet, sensitive personality. He will do best with adopters who understand that trust takes time—and that the reward is incredibly special.   He recently had a veterinary evaluation and was diagnosed with dermatitis caused primarily by flea allergies, which is already being treated with medication. This condition is manageable, and Remmington is on the path to feeling much more comfortable.   Remmington would thrive in:   A quiet, stable home A patient adopter willing to let him decompress at his own pace A home that understands shy dogs and uses gentle, positive reinforcement     This boy has clearly known hardship, but he hasn’t lost his capacity to love. With the right person, Remmington will blossom into a loyal, devoted companion. To apply visit Pepspalsrescue.org/adopt ##2620065##
