Story
Becky is a 1 year 7 month old black and white sweet American pit bull terrier mix who has recently been taken from a shelter by PAW and is in need of a foster or better yet a forever home..   She is a snuggle bug who is happy to sleep with her person on the sofa and loves everyone she's met. She's great in the crate, which she also goes into voluntarily to "chill".   She appears to be housetrained.  Becky was interested in the cats in her prior foster's house but has not shown any reaction so far.  She can be dog selective and would likely do best with a slow introduction with a low-key male doggy friend or as an only dog.  Wouldn't you like to meet this cute girl? PAW places animals in the Washington, DC/Baltimore metropolitan area only. ##1992194##

Story
I'm in a FOSTER HOME! If you want to meet me, you can start the process by emailing my foster parent at ekurland@humanerescuealliance.org to set up a time to virtually meet me.I'm the Captain and my foster mom says I'm super sweet! I'm housebroken and a bit shy with people I don't know. I'm good with cats and I'm not reactive to dogs when I see them on walks. Email my foster mom to learn more about me.

** I am currently being housed at our Oglethorpe St location. Come meet me at 71 Oglethorpe St NW, every day between 12pm-7pm. Please arrive no later than 6:30 p.m. to allow ample time to interact with adoptable dogs. Or visit humanerescuealliance.org/how-to-adopt to learn more. ** Peachy is keen! Yes, this gorgeous, lovely gal has this amazing way to charm everyone. She just gives these adorable puppy-dog eyes, and we all melt. She is so cute! Peachy was found tied up near a gas station. Poor miss! She was so happy when we saved her, and she had been a total love since she arrived. And she is so happy to get the medical care she so needed. Plus, food and treats and pettings! The only thing that is missing now is a great home for Peachy. She would love to be with folks that will take her for nice walks and give her warm beds. Meet this peachy-keen pooch today. She is wonderful!And a volunteer who recently spent time with Peachy had this to say: She is such a calm good-natured dog! She loved the car ride, playing catch, and sniffing. I think she would make a good apartment dog because she isn't high energy. She is easy to walk and seems to like other people and dogs. Check out Peachy's video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83sX5GsSIh8

Or visit humanerescuealliance.org/how-to-adopt to learn more. ** Brook is a happy pup who came to the shelter after being found as a stray. She loves to meet people, go outside on walks or to play. She hasn't been a fan of meeting other dogs, because of this she would probably do better as the only dog in a home. Brook prefers to be the queen of her new castle, could you be the right fit for her? She is sweet and wiggly and adorable! Come meet her today!Check out Brook's video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db4JWvlBXgI

Story
I'm in a FOSTER HOME! If you want to meet me, you can start the process by emailing my foster parent at carolchapman@yahoo.com to set up a time to meet me.Want to be friends? Nyle does! This playful, cuddly young boy wants to be friends with every human and dog he meets! His favorite thing is romping around the yard roughhousing with another pup. If you wear him out a bit, he'll sleep the day away on the couch, laying on his back with his paws in the air. He's a lap-lander, always wanting a hug and a snuggle from his humans.Nyle is housetrained and knows the basics of crate training but his foster parents usually leave him out when they're gone (after a walk) and he's done fine. Nyle is Mr. Personality: Falls off the couch at least once a day, manages to miss the fire hydrant when he pees, and is quite the squirrel chaser. He wants to be in the middle of everything. Nyle is a vegetarian at heart - his favorite treats include coconut, peanut butter and yogurt. He's the opposite of a resource guarder, actually preferring to be pet while he eats. Nyle clearly had no idea how to play with toys when he arrived, but he quickly learned how much fun he can have tossing and chewing his favorite stuffed duck and dinosaur. Nyle wants to be a good boy. He wants you to be happy with him - he's always chasing the next "Good Boy!" and will try to earn it. If there is a cliché to describe Nyle, it's, "Boys will be boys!" All boy, all the time, but still a little bit of a diva, hiding his face under the pillows when the alarm goes off in the morning. Nyle fun fact: He has a pentagon shaped patch of fur on his head. He's nicknamed "Major Nyle" in case any Pentagon workers are looking for a pup!Check out Nyle's video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le-0ra8Xbfw

Story
If you want to meet me, start the process by emailing my foster parent at battags32@gmail.com to set up a time to virtually meet me.Oh my! Errol started the year off in rough shape. This innocent love muffin was found so skinny you could count his ribs. But thanks to a wonderful foster family, precious Errol is now recovering nicely and getting all the love and care he so craves. His foster parent reports that Errol has been the perfect little guy. After a short adjustment period, he settled right in and is showing his best behavior when left uncrated in the apartment alone. He loves to play but is also just as happy to occupy himself with a bone/toy or a nap - sleeping is one of his favorite hobbies ;-). Errol is also a very smart guy. He's already learning 'sit', 'lay down', 'wait', and 'off'. His fur is slowly starting to regrow on his face and we're all looking forward to seeing what kind of salt and pepper comes in on him. Errol has also done great with meeting other people, including older kids. If you'd like to learn more about this this sweet tempered and handsome fellow, please contact battags32@gmail.com. He's looking forward to it!For more information, or to meet me, contact battags32@gmail.com.
