Story

Gigi is a very sweet and spry 9 year old. She loves to chase tennis balls and is an avid squirrel chaser. While she neither retrieves the tennis balls nor catches squirrels, nothing dampers her enthusiasm. This sweet girl has been part of our family for 8 years. Now that the kids are finishing college, we find ourselves traveling often and sometimes for weeks at a time for work and to visit family. She deserves a home where she has family present on a more consistent basis. Ideally we would prefer to find a pet share arrangement for a year or two - so that she can spend time with the kids when they are home a few weeks in the summer and December. And we are willing to cover vet expenses during that time. We also want to do what is best for Gigi and find her the right forever home. She’s such a sweet girl and we promise that whenever you take her for a walk - people will remark about her “unique” look. :)

Story

Meet Jimmy – your new favorite little shadow with a tail! At just 5 months old, Jimmy is already living his best life and is so happy to be here. This sweet boy wakes up every day like it’s the best day ever — because to him, it is! Jimmy is a toy enthusiast and firmly believes that life is better when you always have a ball nearby. Toss it? Amazing. Squeak it? Incredible. Carry it around proudly like a trophy? Absolutely. He’s never met a toy he didn’t love. This smart pup is easy to train and very food motivated, which makes teaching him new tricks both fun and rewarding. Got treats? You’ve got his full attention. He’s already doing great walking on a leash and enjoys his strolls like a little pro. Car rides? No problem — Jimmy settles in nicely and is happy to be your co-pilot. He gets along well with other dogs and would love a playful buddy, but he’d also be perfectly content soaking up all the love as your one and only. Jimmy does like to know where his people are — he’s a loyal little guy who enjoys being close and keeping tabs on his favorite humans. If you’re looking for a joyful, toy-loving, easygoing puppy who’s equal parts playful and devoted, Jimmy is ready to roll into your life (probably with a ball in his mouth). Adoption fee: $525, includes 1st DHPP, deworming, flea preventative, microchip If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Moses

Rat Terrier Jack Russell Terrier

Washington, DC

Size

Details

Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Moses! He's a 35 pound Jack Russell/Rat Terrier Mix and is about 6 years old. I adopted him from a rescue organization about 2 years ago. For health reasons, I've made the difficult decision to rehome Moses. Once he gets to know you, Moses is such a sweet, cuddly, protective, loyal lap dog and loves to play and burrow under blankets. He has a lot of energy and loves being outside. I live in the city. I think he would do best in the suburbs or somewhere rural, with a fenced in yard to run around. Make Moses yours!

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tina is a lovely little dog that found her way into our household by way of a roadside rescue. We found her running along a busy intersection and caught her, expecting to find her family in a day or two. After a couple of weeks of posting signs around the neighborhood and posting online, we had no luck in finding the family and, as it turns out, she was not house trained, leash trained or spayed. It seems that she was a stray and we were now her fosters. She was easy enough to keep around and got along with our other two dogs really well so she made herself home at home for a few months. During this time we house trained her, got her shots up-to-date, and recently had her spayed. Shes a lot of fun. Plays with our dogs and loves kids. She would be a great addition to any family. The adoption fee is flexible, a pay what you can fee. We are just looking to share some of the costs that we put into getting her ready for adoption, especially the spay surgery and vaccines.
