Story
~5 1/2 years old, 70 pounds Personality: snuggler, playful, easygoing, outgoing, loyal, energetic, affectionate, adventurous, mischievous, and adaptable. Rocco has been with us for 1.5 years, and now a part of our Foster 2 Adopt program! If you think Rocco will be a great fit for your family, you can become his foster. When you inevitably fall in love, and want to make him a part of your family forever, we'll waive your adoption fee! Meet Rocco - a guy who will (a) never say no to a walk, (b) happily greets people (c) is good with kids, and (d) shockingly enjoys spending time in his den/crate when you aren't around! When we say we aren't sure why Rocco hasn't been adopted after being with us for over a year, we really mean it! Rocco is truly a wonderful canine companion. One thing we love most about Rocco is his adaptable nature. He is happy to match your energy level, whether you're seeking a playful companion or a laid-back snuggle buddy. Time for a walk or play session - he's down to clown. Wanna snuggle up and watch a Rom-Com? He's all yours. Did I mention he's great with kids? That really cannot be overlooked! In addition to Rocco being house trained and crate trained, he already knows the words "off," “no,” "sit," and "crate". Rocco loves his chew toys, will love walks with you, and wants nothing more than to finally settle into his forever family. While Rocco has canine friends (from a Great Dane to a Toy Poodle) he has been known to be a little choosy with dogs, so our volunteers will work closely with potential adopters to help match him with a canine pal. If you're ready to meet your best friend, he just might be the match for you. Apply today to meet Rocco! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.

Story
***50% of Koolaid's adoption fee is sponsored by Petfinder*** Meet Koolaid— Koolaid (Kooly) is truly one of a kind. His striking Blue Merle coat and gentle presence make him a dog people naturally gravitate toward. He is affectionate, playful, and deeply connected to his humans. Why everyone falls for Kooly: 1. He loves to give gifts. Whether it is his favorite toy or a couch pillow he proudly offers, Kooly loves greeting his people with full-body tail wags and something special in his mouth just for you. 2. He is a cuddle-bug. Kooly thinks he is a lap dog at heart. He loves curling up close, resting his head on you, and using a polite paw tap to ask for more attention. His eyes are incredibly expressive with warm brown and soft flecks of blue. 3. He is smart, attentive, and loves being included. Kooly stays right by your side and wants to be part of your routine. He knows many commands (sit, lay down, shake, stay, come, leave it, take it, up, down, and crate) and is fully house-trained. He is good on leash overall and may get a little excited when he sees another dog he wants to greet. Kooly currently lives with two adults and a friendly medium-large dog. He has met kids and toddlers on walks and does well. Kooly would do great as the only dog or with a confident dog friend over about 40 lbs. His foster family is helping him continue to build confidence, and he has done well at farmers markets, outdoor events, and meeting new people. Kooly loves walks, toys, zoomies, and relaxing with his people. He is a dog who draws compliments everywhere he goes. Neighbors and strangers alike stop to say hello and comment on how handsome and sweet he is. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who wants to be your sidekick in life, Koolaid is your boy. Apply to foster OR adopt today and help this sweet boy get the second chance he deserves! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities.

Story
Meet Wishbone – Your One True Wish Come True 🦴✨ Looking for a loyal best friend with a goofy grin, gentle soul, and a heart full of love? Meet Wishbone, a 3-year-old, 50-pound sweetheart who’s ready to grant your biggest wish: unconditional love. This charming boy is the perfect blend of calm and playful. He’s low-to-medium energy, so he's just as happy snuggling on the couch as he is chasing a ball in the backyard. Fetch? Yes, please! Belly rubs? Even better. Wishbone is a people pleaser who’s mastered the art of good behavior — he’s crate trained, walks like a dream on leash, knows a few commands, and remembers not to jump (most of the time). He’s incredibly smart, treat-motivated, and has a soft spot for cuddles and praise. He’s great with other friendly, playful dogs and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can romp around and stretch those legs. While he’s very gentle, his size means a home without small children is best. Wishbone would be a wonderful fit for many lifestyles — whether you're a solo adventurer or a family with a doggy playmate. All he wants is someone to love, a few toys to chase, and a warm spot beside you. Wish granted. Love returned. Adopt Wishbone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities.

Story
*Woof* I`m in a foster home! To meet me reach out to my foster caregiver at emkrimmel@gmail.com.Shuffle is an incredibly sweet, smart, and loving pup who is ready to find his new home. He is crate trained, potty trained, and very responsive to commands. Shuffle thinks he’s a lap dog and loves being as close to his people as possible, soaking up all the affection he can get. He is very polite when meeting new people and does not jump, making him a joy to have around in any setting. He is wonderful with kids and does great in public environments. He has even attended a basketball game where he remained calm, happy, and well-behaved. While he adores companionship, he is also comfortable being left alone and shows no signs of separation anxiety. Like any young dog, he still has some playful puppy tendencies, such as mouthing when he wants to play, but he is highly receptive to training and has already made great progress with this and with leash pulling. Shuffle is friendly with other dogs and just wants to play—his current leg injury limits him a bit, but it hasn’t dampened his joyful spirit. He loves flinging his toys into the air and chasing after them with enthusiasm. Overall, Shuffle is a loving, affectionate, and well-rounded pup who will make an amazing companion for a lucky family.

Sheba is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Meet Sheba–the ultimate cuddlebug that’s ready for her forever home!

She’s doing well with training and knows the basic training–sit, down, come–and would love a home to continue this training, preferably with treats following a good sit. Apply for this smart and loveable girl today!

Story
Bjorn is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Bjorn (aka Toby Bear) is a playful puppy who has a big heart and is ready to give a forever family all his love. His favorite things are chewing sticks and bully bones, going for long walks and cuddling up close under a blanket to watch TV. He is in search of a loving parent who can spend lots of quality time with him . He’s learning to be more confident on his own, as well as with other humans and dogs. He’s come a long way since we first started fostering him healing both medically from bad skin infections and emotionally from the toll of being left at the shelter. Each day he improves as his confidence grows and he learns that he’s only going to be with people who love him from here on out. Could that be you?

Story
If you are interested in adopting King, please contact dogs@lostdogrescue.org With the help of a compassionate donor, this Pet Pal is one step closer to a forever home! Hi! I'm King. I am loving, loyal, and - ok, you made me say it - very handsome. Oh, and did I mention that I am looking for a best friend to adopt me? I like leash walks, especially in calm and quiet spaces where we can spend some quality time together without the crowds. But, I may get distracted by all of the wonderful smells because I really do need to put my nose on everything to explore the wonders of the world. Not only am I curious, I am up for a challenge! I like to run across streams, jump on logs, and hike the trails. I have lots of energy so will be sure to help keep up with your exercise plan. I even like to get in a jog from time to time. And, not to brag, but I am pretty smart. But, for the sake of all those delicious treats, I will pretend that it takes me time to master new tricks and skills. One more thing to tell you. I like to talk when I play. I hope you will come to meet me so we can play together forever, just you and me!

To learn more about Bufford, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. With the help of a compassionate donor, this Pet Pal is one step closer to a forever home! Meet Bufford, the ultimate butt-wiggling boxer mix! At just 1 year old, Bufford is an all-wiggles, all-love kind of pup who greets the world with a happy tail, soft eyes, and a big goofy grin! This handsome boy is a delightful walking buddy. He’s great on leash—traffic, bikes, and runners are no problem—and loves a good sniff-filled stroll. He may let out a little excited whine when he wants to meet another dog pal, but he redirects quickly with tasty treats, which he takes ever so gently, and walks on like the good boy he is. Bufford is friendly, agreeable, and eager to please. While he doesn’t seem to know many commands yet, his food motivation, mellow energy, and desire to make his people happy position him as a great candidate for training. Affectionate, goofy, people-loving, and always wagging, Bufford is the kind of pup who makes every day brighter. If you’re looking for a happy, loving companion who’s ready for fun and cuddles, Bufford can’t wait to meet you!
