Story
Hi, Im Chi, and I've got soft-boy charm! At first I’ll size you up like a seasoned diplomat, but once youve passed the sniff test (bonus points if you brought treats), Im all in for cuddles and goofy play. Im great with other dogs and kind humans, including kids, and Ive been fully vetted, vaccinated, and neutered—basically, Im a gentleman in a tux. If youre the type who respects a slow warm-up and then welcomes the most loyal sidekick you’ll ever meet, Ive got your back (and your couch). Im still in Qatar, but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter. I cant wait to meet you!

Story
Coffee is a 5-year-old, spayed female Pit/Ridgeback mix who is ready to find her forever family. Due to unexpected personal circumstances, I’m no longer able to care for her long-term. Coffee is crate-trained and house-trained. She has a solid obedience foundation and knows recall, place, heel, center, sit, down, and out. She walks beautifully on a loose leash, even in busy city environments, and is comfortable navigating crowded streets. She has no known health issues, is up to date on shots, and is on preventive medications for heartworm, fleas, and ticks. Coffee does well being home alone during the workweek (about 8 hours a day). She enjoys playing tug, going for walks, and loves car rides. She is sweet and affectionate, and she loves being around people.

Story
I’m an 8-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Boxer mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for my people. My life was turned upside down when my old family left me at a high-intake shelter, but my foster mom helped me heal, feel safe again, and remember what it’s like to be loved. Now I’m ready to find a forever family who won’t ever give up on me. I’m a polite girl with great house manners — I only chew on my toys (never shoes!), and I absolutely love squeaky toys and cozy donut beds. I’m also a champion sleeper and perfectly happy to snooze in with you on quiet mornings. Walks are one of my favorite things! Long, sniffy walks make me so happy, and I’m a wonderful adventure buddy. Sometimes I get a little reactive when I see other dogs on leash, but I’m learning every day. With some patience and positive training, I might even enjoy living with another dog after slow introductions. I adore people and I can’t wait to become someone’s loyal best friend. I’m healthy, spayed, and so excited to start my next chapter. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, toy-collecting snugglebug who’s ready to be your whole world… I think we should meet. Love, Hunie. Adoption fee: $375, includes first 2 DAPP, bordetella, sterilized, heartworm test, dewormed, 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.

Story
Currently in Manassas, VA Meet Cash. This handsome three year old German Shepherd mix is an athletic, intelligent, and deeply loving dog who is ready for a fresh start. He was adopted as a young puppy at four months old and has been well cared for, loved, and given a strong foundation, including professional training. He is looking for a home where he can thrive and would do best in a single dog household. Cash is social and friendly with humans. He has a confident, adventurous spirit and loves to be part of the action. He is just as happy to settle in for snuggles and affection once he has had a chance to burn off his energy. He is a high energy, athletic dog who needs regular exercise and engagement to stay balanced. Running, playing fetch, and interactive activities are right up his alley. He is strong and can pull on leash, so continued guidance and consistency with leash skills will be important. He is also tough on toys, so durable options like hard bones are best. Cash thrives in a structured environment where he has routine, activity, and a sense of purpose. He is the kind of dog who does best with an experienced owner who understands working breed needs and can provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Because of his size and enthusiasm, Cash would do best in a home without young children, as he can unintentionally knock them over. At his core, Cash is a sweet, affectionate, and loyal dog who wants to be connected to his person. With the right home, he will settle in, grow even more, and become an incredible companion. He is ready to give his whole heart to someone who can match his energy and guide him into this next chapter.

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Current Location: Centreville, VA Meet Odie! ❤️ Odie is a sweet, affectionate pup with the cutest crooked smile that is guaranteed to make you smile right back. He absolutely melts when you pet him, loves giving and receiving kisses, and has so much love to share. He's doing wonderfully with his foster family's dogs and enjoys having canine companions to play with and follow around. Odie is mostly potty trained, has a great appetite, and is learning that his crate is a safe place. Like many young dogs, Odie is still working through some mild separation anxiety and will need a patient family to help him build confidence when left alone. With consistency, treats, and love, he's already making great progress. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with a goofy personality and an unforgettable smile, Odie is ready to steal your heart! This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. The disease was treated while in foster care. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bikini came to us from a small rural shelter where her chances of getting out were very slim. She is a 3 yr old pit/catahoula mix and don’t let her breeds fool you. She’s a total couch potato! She has her moments of zoomies but they don’t last long. While she does live in a foster home with other dogs of all sizes, she is the queen bee and can be a little bossy so she is looking for a home with no other dogs. She loves all people she meets and she is a very sweet girl. She has good doggie manners but needs some work on her leash training. She is a puller on the leash but we’ve seen a lot of improvement with the ez walk harness. Bikini is located in Texas. Her adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, heartworm test and spay. If you are interested in adopting Bikini complete the adoption application at the link below.
