Story
It's so hard on a dog when a loving owner dies. Even harder when the relatives are coldly indifferent to whether the dog lives or dies, and can't be bothered to take them to a shelter. Such was the case for Maggie. After his owner died unexpectedly, Maggie, another dog (Elmo), and a puppy were left alone in the house. A kind neighbor fed them and assumed relatives would soon come and take the dogs. The relatives came all right. They loaded a truck with anything of value, took the puppy, and abandoned Maggie and her companion, Elmo, with the front door wide open and a busy road just feet from the door. Fortunately, before the abandoned dogs left the house, the kind neighbor secured them and called a rescue. In a word, Maggie is the best! One volunteer after another fell in love with her after just saying hello to Maggie for the first time. Maggie has never met a stranger. She is wonderful with children, adults, and all creatures. Her foster family adores her and for good reason: She is a gem!! She loves getting attention and affection from the children in the family, but she is not pushy. Instead, she waits patiently for people to pet her. Because she is so irresistible, she never has to wait long 😊 Maggie is fully housetrained and never chews on anything inappropriate. She has perfect house manners. If you want to meet Miss Maggie please let us know. HART Homepage: https://hart90.org/ Questions About this Animal?

Story
Meet Lucy — 79 pounds of pure sparkle and sass. 💅💎 This 7-year-old Bully mix didn’t just arrive from the shelter — she made an entrance in her hot pink, rhinestone-studded collar like the diva she was born to be. Think “Real Housewives,” but with more slobber and better cuddles. Her foster shared that although Lucy is big, she is not a big presence in the house. She is clean, housebroken, crate trained, non-destructive. Not high energy. And she completely ignores the cats!! If you’re looking for a dog with star power, a heart of gold, and a flair for the fabulous — Lucy’s your girl. ✨ Questions About this Animal?

Story
**Please describe any other behaviors or characteristics we should know to help us make the best possible placement for your pet: ** Gracie is sweet, and curious. She loves to put things in her mouth. She puts everything in her mouth. She loves to be outside and go for walks. She is friendly around kids, loves to bathe in the sun and even poses for pics. Where does your dog spend most of his/her time? Inside the house, runs free, Inside the house, in a cage/crate, Outside the house, runs free, Outside the house, on a tether. What else can you tell us about your dog's training and personality so we can find the right home? Gracie has had her own room since she was little, but depending upon how much water she has had isn't able to hold going to the bathroom more than 6-8 hours. She is trained to go outside, but we had to move her cage/crate to the basement bathroom. Gracie loves treats and to play tug a war.

Story
Adoption Fee Covered + Free Training! Great news! Yoyoma's adoption fee has been fully covered by a generous supporter, and OPH is including six virtual training sessions with a certified trainer during the first 60 days to help set you both up for success! Yoyoma is 9 years old and has been in foster care for awhile, because she wants to be your one and only loyal companion. She would like to take naps and watch TV with you. When it's time to exercise, playing ball is the activity of choice in a fenced yard, the higher the better. She'd like to take walks on a leash, but doesn't mind staying close to home. Sniffing to discover new smells rather than long walks is just fine with her. She would rather be with you than in large crowds as she is cautious with strangers, but once she gets to know them in familiar surroundings, she is ready for belly rubs. She has played with the fosters larger dogs but prefers to be the only dog in your family. The fosters grandchildren have played ball with her and she likes how they tell her to sit first then to retrieve. Rules and boundaries help her to feel comfortable. She has been waiting for awhile in rescue but only because she is waiting for the right family. If you think you are the right one for her please fill out an application. Athletic, Not Hyper but can be Energetic * Knows some obedience * Can walk on on loose leash * Goes in crate on command * Potty trained (perk! will go in bad weather) * She is Cautious with strangers and needs slow introductions * Needs an experienced dog handler * Muzzle trained, wears muzzle during vetting for prevention * Prefer to be the only dog And guess what, I am SO special that I am eligible for an extended trial adoption. You check me out and I check you out. If that all sounds great to you, let's meet. Please apply to adopt me today.

Story
World Cup is a sweet, affectionate pup who loves being by your side. He learns quickly just by watching the older dogs — a natural learner! He’s a road trip buddy in the making, loves car rides, and sleeps through the night in his crate. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who fits right into family life, World Cup might just be your perfect match. 'Scout' looooves kids and other dogs & plays very enthusiastically. He is also happy to entertain himself with his toy bucket! He's such a hoot!! Don't want interrupted nights? No worries, he sleeps through the night for a solid 10 hours!!!! Potty training is going well, as long as you stay on top of it. He's a little gem, please help out Adoption Day: July 11th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt.
