Current Location: Alexandria, VA Fern is a 2 yr old, 60 lb bundle of life with energy and personality to spare. She is a sweet young girl who loves to play, sniff, and explore.

She greets dogs with enthusiasm and greets people with pure joy. Fern has great house manner - never an accident, and fully housetrained. And she loves a car ride - sign her up for any outing.

Story
Duma is an affectionate, friendly 11-year-old neutered Ridgeback/Hound mix (65 lbs.) looking for an adult-only home. He loves people, enjoys walks, is house-trained, walks well on leash, and knows many commands. He’s healthy aside from arthritis, which is managed with gabapentin and supplements, and is current on all vaccinations. Duma would do best as the only pet in a home without children. Over the past year, he bit our young child twice after being unexpectedly approached from behind—once while lying down and once when hugged around his hindquarters while standing. Because of these incidents, we can no longer safely keep him in our home. Despite this, Duma is a loving, loyal companion who thrives on attention and enjoys being with his people. We know the right adult home will give him the chance to enjoy his senior years surrounded by love, comfort, and plenty of walks.

Story
Hi! My name is Lil Man, and I’m 1 half of the inseparable duo full of love and laughter. We're young, smart, and have tons of energy to play and explore. We might be a bit shy at first, but give us a moment, and we'll be your cuddly companions. We love being goofy and making our friends laugh with our funny antics. We're also very gentle and friendly, perfect pals for any family. We're looking for a forever home where we can share all our love. Adopt us for endless fun and friendship! Sadly, Lil Man and Rudy were abandoned in a small rural county in Mississippi. The mother and her three pups were homeless and were living in the woods when a local police officer contacted the rescue for help. The police brought the two males, Lil Man and Rudy, and their sister, Scarlet to the rescue. Scarlet went to a rescue in Maine leaving Lil Man and Rudy behind waiting. These 2 boys are so bonded that we wish they could go together. They absolutely adore each other. they were raised inside before becoming homeless, so they are house trained. We are looking for the perfect home for these two boys. They are the sweetest, most lovable dogs that anyone could ever want. They just need a loving home and a pet owner that is willing to love him. This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

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
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.
