Story

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire athttps://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.Dog's Name: Sherry (SHE0226ALAFS) Estimated Breed: Shih TzuApproximate Age: 5 yearsApproximate Weight: 12 lbsCurrently Living at: Boarding Adoption Fee: $500DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Say Hi to Sherry — the pint-sized, low-maintenance lovebug you didn’t know your home was missing. Sherry is a sweet little couch potato with a true talent for the fine art of relaxation. She’s the kind of girl who doesn’t need constant entertainment—she’s perfectly content just being near her person and reminding you that life is better when you slow down. Sherry is good with other dogs, but she’s more of a “I support your zoomies from a safe distance” type of gal. Because of her low energy and easygoing personality, Sherry would likely be an excellent apartment dog and a great match for someone looking for a calm, sweet best friend who just wants to be part of the family. If you’ve been searching for a loyal little gal pal who will happily share your couch, Sherry is ready to be your perfect match. Apply today! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.

Story

'Nauti' Girl!MEET VALENCIA! This little lady’s world was rocked earlier in December when her owner was deported and she found herself scared and alone in the shelter. The outpouring of empathy and support for her and her situation was heartwarming, and she quickly found her way into a very experienced foster home with four other small dogs (some of whom had had similar, stressful backgrounds) and multiple cats. There she has had the time to settle, destress and come to life again. She is now back to what we believe is her true-self; a playful little gal who will roll over for tummy rubs for her (adult) human and play with her toys to entertain herself. Her favorite is stealing a nautical rope ball her foster mom has on a table, thus “Nauti” girl. Ha! Valencia is bi-lingual having come to Tara’s House familiar with basic commands in Spanish and is picking up their English translations (Sit and Down, for instance). She enjoys hanging out with and playing with her foster-siblings, both canine and feline varieties. She sleeps through the night and has gone into an open crate to rest on her own several times (although she is not crated otherwise.) Valencia has had some stress in her life and it sometimes manifests in her being fearful of new people (or even people who aren’t her main care-giver). She should not go to a home with children (most small dogs shouldn’t) and would do best in a home that can give her consistency as well as love. We think she would do best with another small dog in the home, as she could use the confidence that a canine relationship can bring and she seems to genuinely like other dogs. She is fearful at times so needs a strong leader that can show her that her human has things under control. Valencia’s adoption donation fee is $450, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for her by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org. Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.January 3, 2026, 1:16 pm

Story

About Me Who remembers Madeline, the adorable and precocious 7-year-old who attended Boarding school in France? Genevieve was her spunky, helpful, and loyal dog. Such a fitting name for this gorgeous Papillon mix. Gigi is indeed a very loyal companion! If you are looking for a best friend, you have found your match! She insists on being within a couple of feet of her favorite humans, but is not a lap dog per se. She gets along with her housemates, but clearly would be delighted to be an only dog, too. Gigi is happy to go on short walks and will go out as many times as her best friend is willing to take her. Won’t you give this loveable and gorgeous lady a forever home? My Profile Age: 11 years old Weight: 10 lbs Good with kids: yes Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: unknown Fenced yard required: No Town house or apartment: yes House trained: working on it Crate trained: Doesn't prefer crates, but will travel in one. Barks when left alone: yes, but settles down Chews inappropriate items: Never Training: Minimal Activity level: Low to Medium Spayed and Microchipped- Yes Meet Me If you are interested in Genevieve, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application. Please consult our Adoption FAQ before contacting us. Please check the adoption-show-attendees page to see if Genevieve will be attending the next adoption show. NOTE: We are an all volunteer group and do not operate a shelter. All of our animals are in foster homes. We are unable to place our animals outside of the Baltimore/DC area.
