Autumn is a sweet, affectionate girl with a playful spirit and lots of energy. She thrives with regular exercise and loves chasing balls, sticks, and keeping the yard squirrel-free. She’s also very loving and will happily curl up in your lap.She is housebroken, crate trained, and does well in her crate overnight. Autumn enjoys walks and rides calmly in the car. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard where she can safely burn off energy.Autumn does well with older children who are comfortable with an enthusiastic, playful dog and who respect her space. She enjoys other dogs in group settings and thrives best with a male or docile female sibling.

Ryder

Greyhound Whippet

Male, 10 mos
Alexandria, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
At just 10 months old, this handsome boy is still learning how to navigate the world — and he’s looking for someone patient enough to help him blossom. 💛 He’s crate trained, walks fairly well on a leash, and is currently learning basic commands and what it means to live in a loving home. He can be shy at first and will need slow introductions to both people and other animals, but once he bonds with you, he wants nothing more than to stay close to his person. Ryder takes the time in new situations to observe his surroundings and take it all in so ample decompression time will be needed in his forever home:) Ryder gets excited when he sees his person, gives the best tail wags and hugs, and loves to play! He’ll need continued patience, training, and understanding, but the reward is a deeply loyal companion who will love with his whole heart. Watching him gain confidence and discover the joys of being a dog is truly something special. 🐾

Story
I have had so many chances in my young life. Seriously...I was found with four siblings at about 2.5 weeks old, dumped in a box at the post office... we were so, so sick and close to death. My rescue mom really worked hard to get us healthy and LIVE. And we did! About 6 weeks later, we all got parvo..... and my rescuer was able to nurse all of us out of it! All my siblings have been adopted, and I am ready too! I am somewhat shy and will take time to settle into my new family. But I will adjust. I am best with another dog, calm and confident, because I will mirror that energy. As a gorgeous catahoula/whippet mix, I have plenty of energy and I love to play! Fetch and chase games are my favorite . I am adoptable in Texas, I need to meet my family and you need to meet me! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)
