Story
Benji Magoo – Inspiration to all Underdogs, Snack Enthusiasts, and Dogs Who Are Just Trying Their BestOccupation(s): Professional Shadow • Shower Lifeguard • Neighborhood Watch InternAge: Young enough to cause chaos, old enough to know he shouldn’t, and bold enough to do it anyway.Equal parts fuzzy charm and feral goblin energy, this spicy Shih Tzu operates on pure vibes, endless shenanigans, and zero regrets. He has a Tough Guy exterior, but a soft, snuggly center reserved for his chosen people. His attitude is as big as he is small, and his circle of trust is modest, but growing every day. Magoo’s hobbies include acting as Resident Bouncer when visitors are at the door, supervising all bathroom activities, and learning from the resident dogs how to bark at pedestrians who have the audacity to mind their own business.Magoo has also done wonderfully with his foster’s five-year-old niece, proving that while he may be a tiny bouncer at heart, he has a soft spot for gentle kiddos who offer good vibes and better treats.Fun Fact: He was recently interviewed by a Newsweek reporter, so please address him with the respect befitting a media personality. He’s basically a celebrity now. Autographs available between 11:00am - 11:09am every other Thursday. Personality: 10/10Penchant for Criminal Activity: 7/10Commitment to being adorable chaos: 100/10Ego after the Newsweek interview: Off the chartsIf you have experience with short kings who have big personalities and loud opinions, we welcome you to submit an inquiry to become Benji’s new sidekick by emailing his foster mom at maureen1188@gmail.com. Benji Magoo is a special adoption; his new family will meet with a member of HRA’s behavior team to go over his unique personality, needs, and how to best support a tiny king with a limited field of vision but an unlimited capacity for love, snacks, and chaos.To see more of his antics (and his good side), check him out on Instagram @Barks_and_Wreck

Story
This is Tyson, he was given to us by a close friend who moved to California, Tyson is 9 months , at the time we lived in a house so he was much more manageable and free, we recently moved to a condominium and we don't have as much space anymore as well as our whole family is extremely busy and we hardly have time for Tyson:( .we have had him for about 6-7 months and they have been great but have just gotten difficult, he’s also a very playful dog but he is a big dog.he’s also very kind and can be destructive but He is not aggressive at all. unfortunately we can no longer care for him and as the cold approaches we’re afraid we wont be able to take care of Tyson anymore. We are hoping to find a caring and very loving adoptive owner as soon as possible!

***COURTESY POST ONLY - PLEASE CONTACT ZACH FOR MORE INFO.*** Meet Gidget – A Sweet, Calm 15-Year-Old Mini Shih Tzu Gidget is a gentle, well-mannered miniature Shih Tzu looking for a loving home for her golden years. She’s in excellent health for her age, fully vaccinated, and has been cherished and well cared for her whole life. Gidget is wonderfully easygoing:     •    Great with other pets – she gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats.     •    Usually quiet: she only barks when hungry.      •    House-trained – she reliably goes outside, and she also knows to use pee pads if you’re away for longer stretches.     •    Low-maintenance lifestyle – she enjoys short, leisurely walks, but she’s happiest curled up and snoozing for most of the day.     •    Temperament – extremely cuddly and loving. Can be timid around young children, so she’s best suited for a calmer home.     •    LOVES car rides and just being with her person.      •    Spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations.     •    Grooming – not her favorite activity, but she tolerates baths, brushing, and trims without any trouble. Gidget is the perfect companion for someone who wants a quiet, cuddly, loving dog who’s easy to have around and brings a warm, peaceful energy to the home. She will be timid initially but extremely loving and sweet once she gets settled in.  She and her sister, Jackie, are looking for a new home because circustances in their current living situation have changed. Their dad is trying to find a home for both of them with a person/people that will unconditionally love them just as they deserve! Please note that both Gidget and Jackie must be adopted together as they are bonded. If you would like to find out more information about Gidget and Jackie, please contact Zach at 703-969-2433. ##2592452##

She’s in excellent health for her age, fully vaccinated, and has been cherished and well cared for her whole life. Jackie is wonderfully easygoing:     •    Great with other pets – she gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats.     •    Exceptionally quiet – she never barks.     •    House-trained – she reliably goes outside, and she also knows to use pee pads if you’re away for longer stretches.     •    Low-maintenance lifestyle – she enjoys short, leisurely walks, but she’s happiest curled up and snoozing for most of the day.     •    Temperament – very sweet and affectionate, though a bit timid around young children, so she’s best suited for a calmer home.     •    Spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations.     •    Grooming – not her favorite activity, but she tolerates baths, brushing, and trims without any trouble. Jackie is the perfect companion for someone who wants a quiet, cuddly, loving dog who’s easy to have around and brings a warm, peaceful energy to the home. Jackie and her sister, Gidget, need to find a new place to live through no fault of their own. They MUST be adopted together as they are a bonded pair.

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.
