Story
Took in from someone that needed to get rid of him but my roommates moved out and I just can't give him the time or attention he needs. He is a young dog, guessing between 1-2yrs old. He is very loving, play nibbles but has never bit anyone or any other animals. He does require a lot of attention and training as he is still young. He does have a tendency to jump but that's all. He is leash and crate trained. Not completely house trained yet though. Just looking to find him a really loving home with some space to run.

Story
I`m in a foster home! To adopt me, email my foster parents at Burnszynski@outlook.com.Dori is adorable! She truly is a lovely and oh so pretty miss who adores being loved and giving it right back. And she has the most amazing markings with such a dear boopable sniffy snout. Dori is so loved by all at the shelter. Many volunteers have commented on how wonderful she is. One shared, `Dori is so smart that she focuses on you for love and guidance. She loves treats and she likes her cuddles.` Another volunteer shared, `She is very sweet and friendly and a total joy.` And yet another volunteer shared, `She’s the perfect blend of playful and chill … still young enough for some puppy fun but already knows how to relax and soak up the love. Her gentle, joyful personality is just waiting to shine in a home of her own. Let’s help her find the family she deserves, where she can truly blossom!` Dori enjoys her exercise and playtime, and she greets visitors with a happy smile and a waggy tail. She is the BEST! Dori would love to be in a warm and inviting home soon. Please meet this beautiful gal soon!

Story
*Woof* Meet met at 71 Oglethorpe St NW between 12pm-7pm daily!Hello, Luther, here, and when I arrived here, I learned that `Luther` means `famous warrior` and `freedom`. That gave me a much-needed boost of confidence -- which was good because I was really a bit nervous when I first came here to the shelter. I am a handsome pup in his best years and with the cutest underbite you have ever seen! The previous chapter of my life was a bit of a rough one, but I am ready to start writing a new one in which I live up to my new name. Over treats and walks, I quickly made good friends here and now I am ready to find a loving furever home. I can still be a bit nervous at times but seeing how far I have come in a short time, I know I am ready for a full life!

Story
I’m in a foster home! To adopt me, please email my foster parent at holstine.kyle@gmail.com.Serene the beauty queen - this spotted lady would love a home of her own where she can laze the days away in a comfy spot and get head scratches sitting with her people on the couch. Serene was adopted from us a few years back, but the landlord said she had to go. How sad is that! Serene has been through a lot but, while in foster, she has shown that she is a simple girl with a few wishes for a perfect home.Serene loves: her people, meeting new people, long naps during the daytime, cozy fleece blankets, sniffing for kibble in her snuffle mat, watching television, catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror, and leisurely walks with lots of time to stop and smell the roses.Serene prefers to be the only dog in her home and enjoys having space from other dogs while on her walks. She is comfortable in the busy city and in quiet suburbs. She takes medicated baths like a champ and is very tolerant and good natured. She is a gem of a dog with so much love to give!Follow Serene on Instagram at @harleysfosterfriends

Story
I`m in a FOSTER HOME! For more information or to virtually meet me, email my foster parent at braithwaitejd7@gmail.comBrinda is the most beautiful brindle girl...hence the name Brinda! Brinda, who I have affectionately doved `Bea`, is the sweetest, silliest, and loving girl. She is hands down the most affectionate dog I have EVER cared for. She wants to constantly cuddle....it is her love language. She loves to have her head on your legs or be curled up against your chest. At 9pm, Bea is ready for bed for the night!Bea is medium energy and 58 lbs. She stays in the crate while I am at work (7a-3p) and does a great job. She is now working on being outside of the crate while I am gone (so far we have successfully done 4 hours). I don`t need to crate her at night because she sleeps curled up right beside me all night long. Bea typically sleeps 8 hours per night. She loves her toys, squirrels, and bones. She is a smart girl and always remembers which trees she previously saw a squirrel climb up. Bea knows the command `sit` and will do so at any time if it means getting a treat. Bea loves walks and is often confused when people we walk by don`t stop to pet her! Bea is working hard with her confidence around other dogs. A once very timid dog, now she can parallel walk with other dogs. She is extremely curious about other dogs but can get scared once the other dog wants to play. She is a great apartment dog (I live in downtown DC), she doesn`t bark at any alarms or sirens during the day or night, only will casually bark when she hears other dogs walking down our hallway. I mean somebody has to keep watch over the apartment! Bea mirrors your energy. It is best to have her in a home with middle school kids and above. She loves kids, but young kids get her extremely excited, which might end up scaring a younger kid. Bea had a rough life prior to the shelter. She was found chained up to a police station with an upper respiratory and eye infection…but did she didn`t commit any crimes! Bea was thankfully taken to the shelter where she recovered. In the shelter Bea was spayed and given a whole new life. She is an incredibly resilient girl. Bea needs somebody to be gentle and loving with her, and she will give it back to you three-fold! Bea is great at meeting people on her walks but can get nervous when people walk into the apartment. Once she sniffs the new person, she is wiggly and ready to cuddle. I am very confident that with more exp
