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

Sweet Charlie is a special furbaby who is shy. Charlie loves people. He will carefully approach his human, give them a kiss on the hand, and welcome a pet on his head. But he prefers to be the one to initiate the contact. If approached or picked up when he’s not expecting it, he may hurry away. Charlie is also playful and really enjoys burying toys under a blanket or pillow. He can entertain himself for quite a while with this activity! Another behavior that can be managed by a patient adopter is Charlie’s habit of getting into cabinets or trash cans or onto tables/countertops in search of food. Charlie LOVES to eat and is super smart when it comes to finding food so keeping food stored out of his reach or blocking access to the kitchen with dog/baby gates helps reduce that behavior. Charlie is housetrained and used to taking regular outside breaks in a fenced backyard. Having access to a fenced yard is important for Charlie because he can be nervous on walks and easily spooked by sounds like a car engine. For this reason, CHR is requiring that his adopter have a secure fenced yard. If there are other dogs in the home, you’ll be happy to know that Charlie gets along with most dogs but he will bark at any dog who tries to climb into bed next to him when he is resting. Charlie has made amazing progress while he’s been with his foster mom and is learning to be more relaxed, but we know from experience that it will take more time to address his fearfulness. A patient adopter who doesn’t force Charlie into situations that make him uncomfortable will help Charlie continue to improve and gain more confidence. application: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index March 28, 2025, 7:58 pm

Story

Meet Hip Hop – The Sweetest Senior Shih Tzu Around! Hip Hop is a Shih Tzu weighing about 10 lbs, and she’s ready to find her forever family! This little lady has come a long way—from being found roaming the streets and ending up in a crowded shelter, to now living her best life in a loving foster home. When she first arrived, Hip Hop was matted and had some hair loss from a flea allergy, but with a little TLC (and some cozy sweaters), she’s blossomed into the adorable, happy pup she was always meant to be. Hip Hop is the definition of an easygoing companion. She loves lounging around the house and soaking up the comforts of home, but she also enjoys short backyard adventures with her dog friends. She’s been around dogs of all shapes and sizes—from a calm 5-year-old Jack Russell mix to an energetic 8-month-old Great Pyrenees mix—and she gets along with everyone. She’s even polite with cats! Her true love, though, is people. Hip Hop adores being near her humans and will happily follow her chosen person from room to room, just to be part of the action. She’s wonderfully respectful—never underfoot or demanding attention—and she’s especially sweet with kids. In her foster home, she enjoys spending time with her 4- and 10-year-old human foster siblings, often curling up at their feet or patiently waiting for someone to lift her onto the couch for a snuggle. Hip Hop has impeccable manners, is completely potty trained, and is as polite as they come. She’s the perfect companion for anyone looking to share their days with a gentle, loving senior who appreciates the finer things in life—lazy Sunday mornings, quiet companionship, and unconditional love. If you’re looking for a loyal little friend to share your home and heart, come meet Hip Hop. We promise you’ll fall in love, just like we have. Some medical things to note about her due to her senior age: Has possible early kidney disease based on her SDMA Has mildly elevated liver enzymes May require a kidney-friendly diet long-term Needs annual labs (or twice per year if you prefer proactive care) Is otherwise comfortable, stable, and ready for a loving home Day: December 6th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt. Some pups may stick around until 11:00 AM for the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun! ##2573718##
