Story
Meet Ronan!Ronan is the kind of dog who seems like he belongs on a quiet country porch, watching the world go by before heading out on an adventure with his favorite person. With his gentle nature, intelligent mind, and affectionate heart, Ronan has an old-soul charm that`s hard to resist.Ronan is also a smart dog who pays close attention to his surroundings and is always thinking. During walks, he readily engaged in training games and began learning to check back in with his handler when distractions are present. His intelligence and awareness make him a rewarding companion for someone who enjoys building a partnership with their dog.When it`s time for fun, Ronan has a playful side too. He absolutely loves `dissecting` toys and would be thrilled to have a collection of toys he can investigate, de-stuff, and enjoy. Enrichment activities, training games, and outdoor adventures are all right up his alley.

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
Blue is 4 years old and has been with our family since he was a puppy. Breed is unknown as we got him from the shelter in Arizona where we used to live. He has been an indoor dog his whole life, but he has lots of energy and we walk or jog with him daily. He loves being outside as well. He is crate trained for sleeping at night and is obedient, mostly. He would probably make a great hunting dog with some training. He rarely barks, but has become more protective lately and once every week or two will bark if someone approaches the house. He has been trained with the Invisible Fence and does well staying in the yard with it on. He does get excited to see us and sometimes jumps up on people. This has become a problem for us and the neighbors and is one of the reasons we have decided to find a new home for him.

Story
Sinbad is a handsome, approximately 9-year-old mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback and Mountain Cur, weighing about 75 pounds Sinbad has spent his entire life on a horse farm surrounded by animals and family. He has lived with horses, cats, chickens, and another dog with whom he gets along well. He’s comfortable around horses, although he does enjoy trying to chase the chickens and cats if given the opportunity.   Sinbad loves being outside. Playing fetch and Frisbee are some of his favorite activities, and he always enjoys going for walks. As he’s gotten older, he’s become even more affectionate. A true definition of a lap dog, he loves hard. He absolutely loves attention from his people and will happily roll onto his back for belly rubs and cuddles. He especially enjoys relaxing in bed with the adults in the house and simply being close to his family.   Sinbad has grown up with four children and, for many years, showed incredible patience as they played with him, hugged him, and climbed all over him. As he’s entered his senior years, however, he prefers a quieter lifestyle and has less tolerance for the constant activity that comes with a busy household of young children.   One thing that’s important to know about Sinbad is that he has always displayed some resource-guarding tendencies with high-value items like his balls, toys, and bones. Once he’s finished playing fetch and takes his ball to settle down, he prefers to be left alone with it. Because of this, he would do best with owners who understand canine body language and are willing to simply give him his space when he has something he considers valuable.   His present family has grown over the years, and with children now ages 2, 4, 9, and 11, his home has become much busier than it was when Sinbad was younger. While he still craves attention and affection, he no longer enjoys the constant hustle and bustle. Now,  he deserves a quieter home where he can be the center of someone’s world again.   Sinbad would thrive in an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy children who understand and respect his boundaries. He would make a wonderful companion for a single person, couple, or retired family looking for a loyal, loving dog to share their days with. He has so much love to give and simply wants a peaceful home where he can enjoy walks, snuggles, belly rubs, and all the attention he deserves.   (posted 4/5/26, RH)  Adoption Fee:  $100.00  July 9, 2026, 2:49 pm

Story
Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Some dogs come to us with very special needs and BamBam is one of those dogs.  While he is a playful pup full of energy and affection, he is also extremely fearful of the world.  This fear can manifest into making him protective and reactive.  As his anxiety traits present a challenge, a quiet, experienced and patient home is required to address his needs.  He should also be in a home without children or other pets.  Among his many positive qualities, he is quiet, house trained, crate trained, and he will sit nicely and lift his paw for a treat.  He is extremely shy when meeting new people but once BamBam feels comfortable, he will be your loyal companion forever!    **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. Upcoming adoption events:                Saturday  Jul 11th 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston     Saturday Jul 18th 12-3pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Hwy; Fairfax     Saturday Jul 25th 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston     Saturday Aug 1st 12-3pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Hwy; Fairfax VA 22030 We are always desperate for foster homes, now more than ever.
