Story
small sweetie seeking fresh start and love! MILO NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Milo         Best Guess for Breed: Shih tzu mix Best Guess for Age:  8 years as of December 2023       SEX:   Male   Approximate Weight: 12 lbs   Gets Along With:   Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested   Currently Living at:  Oklahoma shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get on a freedom flight here on Saturday 12/9!   Milo is Looking For:   His forever home! This cutie ended up in the shelter through no fault of his own. He's eager to once again have his own humans for sniffy walks (down by their ankles!) and world exploration. Snuggles and cuddles are way high on his wish list, as are quality kibble and a cushy dog bed. But what he wants most of all is to know he's safe and loved and under his own roof for all his days - small dogs can live a long time and he's got a lot of good days ahead of him!   In exchange, he promises adoring gazes and tail wags and loyal companionship. What do you say? Is Milo the one you see warming your lap as we go into the winter months? What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once he has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with his foster Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Please contact Sue Caley (suec@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet, sweet small senior girl seeking love SISSY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Sissy       Best Guess for Breed:  Shih tzu mix Best Guess for Age:   14 years as of September 2023     SEX:   Female   Approximate Weight:  8.6 lbs   Gets Along With:   Other dogs. We haven't seen her with kids or cats but she can be tested   Currently Living at:   DC area home   Special adoption considerations:  Sissy was treated for symptoms caused by dry eye and we think she is possibly blind. She may be deaf as well; we are not sure yet. (She is a very recent arrival in the DC area).Because she has some sensory loss, she startles easily. Due to this, she may not go to a home with children under the age of 12; she needs a calmer environment.    Sissy is Looking For:  Sissy's owner loved her very, very much but unfortunately was no longer able to continue taking care of her. Sissy is just so sweet and wants only to be loved once again. A warm lap or sitting out in the fresh air, snuggles, being told she's such a good girl - those will make her world complete once again. And she has so much sweetness to bring to her new humans' world.  Are you Sissy's soft landing? What My Foster Says About Me:   Sissy is a sweet senior girl. She is looking for her forever person to take her on slow walks, lounge with her on the sofa and be by her side! She is great with dogs and truly has the sweetest disposition! She sleeps through the night in her crate with her blankets and bed and really likes to sleep in in the mornings!  She wakes about 8:30am and then likes to head outside for potty. Her new person will need to look for her cues like when she wakes and when she finds her way to the potty door; she is not fully potty trained in that she will hold it until you figure out she needs to go. She is blind and does not hear, but even without those senses she is communicative and really finds her way around well with some guidance. Sissy is the total tiny package! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $375, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Story
Best friend Buddy is just that.  He is a happy-go-lucky little guy that does not meet a stranger.  He is good with dogs, cats, and people of almost all ages (no toddlers).  Buddy always seems to be smiling.  This sweet little guy will be an excellent addition to the right family.  Buddy would like a home with another same size and age dog, so he has a companion.  He would also like a fenced in yard as he is used to smelling around when he goes out to do his “business”. Buddy is housebroken (he whines to let you know that he needs to go out), doggie door trained, and he walks well on a leash.  Buddy loves his daily walks.  This little cutie also rides great in the car.  He just settles down and sits in the seat.  Buddy is the perfect co-pilot.  He would be a great companion for someone that would take him places.   Buddy is a very social guy.  He wants to be wherever you are, and in your lap if possible.  His foster mom has moved a chair beside her desk so Buddy can sit there.  He also has wiggled his way into sleeping right beside her.  Buddy would do best with someone who is home most of the time.  He is just happy to be with you.  He is 8-10 years old and he weighs 16 lbs.  Buddy has had some eye issues that went untreated by his original family.  He has had surgery and is now on eye drops both eyes for the rest of his life.  Poor Buddy also has a heart murmur and is on medicine for that. Buddy is well worth the added expense of these medicines.  And don’t forget that he needs to be groomed regularly.  The love you get in return for loving and taking care of Buddy makes it all worth while.   He has been neutered and is current on all his shots and microchipped.  To be considered for Buddy's forever home and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Buddy is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)December 5, 2023, 2:15 pm

Story
Adorable Dara! She is a 3-month-old, female puppy. We do not know this litters parents but when they were surrendered to the animal shelter, we were told mom was a Shih Tzu. Darla is shy but friendly! She is a typical young puppy who loves to play with her 2 siblings and enjoys exploring her surroundings. This puppy has been well socialized with the foster family and their dogs. This litter is fostered with dogs and are young enough to love children and cats. Because this is a young puppy, she'll require an adopter who is at home a good portion of the day to continue training - no exceptions! This puppy is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped and will need to be spayed at the age of 6 months. The Adoption Fee for this puppy $400.00. A refundable spay/neuter deposit will be added to the adoption fee for puppies and kittens. ***Please note, this pup's immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16-20 weeks of age and therefore, s/he is not suited for Apartment/Condo living or Town homes without a private fenced yard and will not be able to go to public places where s/he could possibly be exposed to the germs of unvaccinated dogs, such as PetSmart/PetCo and dog parks until s/he is 16-20 weeks old*** ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** The adoption fee for this dog is $400, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. This fee DOES NOT INCLUDE spay/neuter if the pup is not already spayed/neutered. If the animal you are adopting is not already spayed/neutered, you will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered. A $100.00 fee will be returned to the adopter once the animal has been sterilized. We will provide information on this process during the approval process. ***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs and/or all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many! ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us; thus, we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
