Story
Coffee is a 4-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 both crate trained and fully 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 and is up to date 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 especially loves car rides. Most of all, she is sweet, affectionate, and loves being around people. Coffee would do best in a stable home that can give her consistent love, attention, and companionship.

Story
Hi, I’m Chi, and I've got soft-boy charm! At first I’ll size you up like a seasoned diplomat, but once you’ve passed the sniff test (bonus points if you brought treats), I’m all in for cuddles and goofy play. I’m great with other dogs and kind humans, including kids, and I’ve been fully vetted, vaccinated, and neutered—basically, I’m a gentleman in a tux. If you’re the type who respects a slow warm-up and then welcomes the most loyal sidekick you’ll ever meet, I’ve got your back (and your couch). I'm still in Qatar, but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter. I can't wait to meet you!

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 Feb 14th 12- 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston     Saturday  Feb 21st 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax     Saturday Feb 28th 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston   We are always desperate for foster homes, now more than ever. If you are interested in fostering, please complete an application... unless you are a previous adopter/foster, then you can just contact us via phone (703-988-2608) or email (adopt@muttloverescue.org) to tell us which dog you want to foster!    For information on sponsoring this dog, please write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.   WE NEED FOSTER HOMES!

Story
Meet Star! Star is a 4-year-old Catahoula/Hound mix with a heart every bit as big as her personality. This girl has been through more than most dogs ever should - she was shot, and the bullet went through her jaw and ear. She underwent jaw surgery, and as a result, her tongue now hangs out permanently. But Star doesn’t let her past define her. She is pure resilience wrapped in sweetness. Star is incredibly affectionate and so happy-natured. She loves to run, explore, and play, but she also knows how to wind down and melt into you for snuggles - the perfect balance of fun and companionship. She enjoys car rides and would make a wonderful adventure buddy for someone who wants a loyal co-pilot by their side. She’s very smart, already knows “sit,” and uses the doggie door like a total pro. Star is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to find the family who will love her for the amazing, one-of-a-kind girl she is. If you’re looking for a dog with a beautiful soul and an even more beautiful spirit, Star is your girl.
