Story
Meet Maxwell, a charming in need of rescue. His journey with us began when he was surrendered by his previous owner, through no fault of his own. Maxwell boasts a delightful history of coexisting harmoniously with both children and dogs of all sizes. However, we recommend a child-free environment due to his tendency to be a tad jumpy and nervous, especially when encountering new people. Maxwell's previous family described him as a big, goofy, and immensely playful companion. Additionally, he has proven himself to be well-trained in both housebreaking and crate use. He's capable of peacefully free-roaming when left alone, with no adverse incidents. Despite his endearing qualities, Maxwell is currently experiencing a degree of unease in the shelter environment, away from the only family he's ever known. New faces and the presence of other dogs passing by his kennel have understandably heightened his anxiety. Our dedicated behavior team has devised a plan to place him in a quieter section of the shelter, although it is apparent that the current setting is less than ideal for this sensitive fellow. During his stay with us, Maxwell has gradually opened up, revealing the same lovable, goofy personality that endeared him to his previous owners. Yet, he remains cautious when meeting new people. In our care, he has engaged in playgroups and demonstrated positive interactions with other dogs, though he tends to prefer calmer canine companions, as those with high energy levels can sometimes overwhelm him. This endearing pup is longing for a safe and loving environment where he can thrive. __________________________________________________ If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
To learn more about Nugget, please get in touch with his foster at fetchinginn@gmail.com Hello, I'm Nugget! I love to play! I'll fetch and chase with all my toys, but I'm very responsible in the house and won't touch anything I shouldn't. I sometimes growl like a dragon when I get really playful, but just me talking, and I'm very gentle. I know all my basic commands, walk nicely on the leash, and eat all my approved doggie vegetables. I've had many doggie roommates and do well with non-dominant dogs once I get over my initial excitement of meeting them. I'm still a bit nervous around human strangers and do best with new people who approach me with care, but warm up once I get to know you - especially if you carry a piece of cheese in your hand! I hope to meet my forever playmates soon, who can help me feel secure and calm and be my best self!

To learn more about Rubi, please get in touch with sueneuhart19@gmail.com. Hi, I'm Rubi! Are you seeking a super smart, fun-loving cuddler? Look no further! I'm a star student- I've got some cues and tricks in my repertoire, and I'm always eager to learn more! Games are another big favorite - I always have time for a long round of fetch (I can catch in the air!) and tug-of-war. I'm also up for any adventure, especially one that includes a hike, a sandy spot to dig, or water to splash in. I also love car rides. I am house-trained and know how to behave when I'm left home by myself. If you work from home, I will be your quiet colleague but will alert you when mail arrives. Following a morning walk I'm happy to snooze by your side. I would love to have a home where I can go on happy walks with you and sniff out my surroundings. A backyard would also be so much fun! I would prefer to be your one and only furry friend in the home. I can make friends with other dogs, but I prefer to get to know them slowly and pick those whom I have something in common with, like similar size or play style. I love being around my people and it just takes me a little time to make new human friends. And I am all about the child-free lifestyle! One last fun fact. I was born without a tail, but my nub works just fine when I'm super happy. There's so much more I could tell you about myself, but instead, I'd love to meet you. I can't wait to meet you and find my forever home!

Story
Female, approx. 5 years old, 46 lbs Personality: playful, easygoing, affectionate, snuggler, and outgoing. Who doesn't love a good Muffin? Especially a sweet, canine Muffin like me looking for a furever home. I am new to DC and just love it here, particularly long walks and being petted. I have a four-legged roommate who loves to play, but I am also totally chill on my own. I'm also a fan of people, and I will enthusiastically greet anyone who lets me give them love! I have learned so much since coming to DC, like improving my leash skills and sleeping in a cozy crate. I'm making progress on house training too! If you are craving a Muffin, let's meet. I can show you my leash skills and my friendly demeanor. I assure you; your Muffin craving will be satisfied with a lifetime of fun memories and no boring fiber. ________________________________________________________________________ If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon.

Learn more, see our list of dogs needing foster, and apply, https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/foster-a-city-dog.html City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model). Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis. Most cats and dogs will have a house-training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained. We also update our Facebook page daily with new cats and dogs.

These pups are in Fairfax, Virginia too!

Are you looking for your own couch potato to fill the cushion next to you while you binge your shows? How about a dance partner on kareoke nights? Fantastic news: Petunia fits the bill. The perfect alto, her symphonic snores will lull you to sleep. She is 10 yrs YOUNG! The embodiment of 'age is nothing but a number', and ready to prove it. She loves a game of fetch, is a water enthusiast, and prefers the booty scratches, over head scratches any day of the week. Petunia is being fostered in a household with other dogs, cats, a 10yr old and a baby. Bonus, she'll keep you company during long car rides. Petunia's perfect household will allow her to be the velcro pet that she was born to be. She had a rough start before coming to AFH, being found as a stray underweight and with two cherry eyes over a year ago. Now healthy and safe in a foster home, she is ready to prance off into the sunset with her forever familyAccuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org May 7, 2024, 3:49 pm

Want to meet me?? Come out and see me at our next event: Sunday, May 5, 2024 11:30-1:30pm Gaithersburg, MD- PetSmart 218 Kentlands Blvd Gaithersburg, MD 20878 *Dog attendance is not guaranteed. Feel free to text the event coordinator to confirm a particular dog's attendance: 703-447-4766 Meet Solar Astro - Astro is about 13 weeks old and about 15 lbs. We think he looks like a Boxer/Lab Mix). Astro is a sweet and playful puppy. He is great with the dogs in his foster home. He is doing a good job with his house and crate training. Baby puppies will 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. ***Please note, this pup's immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 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 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.**
