Story
Meet Kyro: The Sweet, Trained American Bully! Kyro is a 4-year-old (08/23/2021), AKC registered, microchipped American Bully. Rehoming Reason: Kyro was my mom’s dog, but he has become a little too much for her to handle as she’s getting older. I currently have him and would love to keep him, but unfortunately I am allergic to dogs. He is the perfect mix: energetic and curious outdoors, but a super chill indoor dog. While he does well in apartments, he would thrive in a larger home or a place with decent outdoor space to burn energy. He loves walks! Kyro is house trained, completed formal basic training, and is quiet, obedient, does not bark or chew. He has lived with cats and is good with mild-tempered dogs. Looking for a sweet, loyal companion? Kyro is your guy!

Story
Good morning. My name is Trevor Riddick. I am in need of an emergency foster family. If that’s even a thing. My pitbull is named Smudge. He is now 2 years old on November 22. He is around 80-83 lbs. In the next few weeks or one month, I will be moving in to a single bedroom apartment with family. The apartment complex doesn’t allow pets, especially Smudges breed. If you know of anyone who would be willing to give him my loving home, please reach out. He’s is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations. Smudge is very intelligent. After walks he waits for his paws to be wiped before going on the carpet. He even lifts his back paws up for you. He patiently waits for his food and water. He is a big fan of toys, especially the so called indestructible ones. As a newborn puppy, Smudge was found with his mom, brother and sister in an abandoned office park in Baltimore. Through a great adoption agency, we were able to give him a wonderful home with loving feline sisters.

Story
This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. My girl is 3 years old, still young, full of energy, and full of love. She’s amazing with other dogs, especially when they’re friendly. She loves to play and be outside, sunshine and open space make her the happiest. She’s not instantly friendly with every person, but she’s not aggressive. She just needs a little time to warm up and get to know you. Once she trusts you, she’s incredibly loyal and protective. She didn’t grow up with much socialization, which might explain some of her cautiousness, but she’s never randomly gone after anyone. With people she knows, she’s sweet and calm. I’m looking for someone truly special, someone who deeply loves dogs. Someone who wants to add another to their family, not just a pet, but a companion. Ideally, you have a house, fenced yard, and would never mistreat/neglect her. Finding a loving home for her is all I truly care about. If you are that person I’d love to chat! God bless you all!

*Woof* Meet me at 71 Oglethorpe St NW between 12pm-7pm daily!Washington Commanders’ Defensive End Jake Martin is helping out the big dogs this month with his 55 Rescue Drive! Jake is reducing my adoption fee to only $55!Cobweb has the most soulful eyes, and he is a big boy at almost 70 pounds! This sweet boy is a total delight on walks — everyone who meets him comments on how calm and kind he is. He enjoys taking his time outdoors, pausing to admire other dogs and take in the world with those thoughtful eyes. He’s also wonderfully polite. Tell him “no” in your normal voice and he immediately understands — and he’s always happy to trade whatever he shouldn’t have for a toy. Speaking of toys, he loves them! He plays gently and never tears them apart. At home, he likes to stay close to his people (he may get more independent with time), following you from room to room with quiet loyalty.The ideal home for this precious big guy is one that is low-traffic and patient, with adopters willing to let this sweetheart settle in at a gentle pace. A confident, relaxed, gentle resident dog who can boost Cobweb`s confidence. Any children in the home should be calm, dog-savvy, and able to respect his space. Adopters must commit to using force-free, positive reinforcement methods only which the staff can review with you! Please meet him soon!

*Woof* Meet me at 71 Oglethorpe St NW!Washington Commanders’ Defensive End Jake Martin is helping out the big dogs this month with his 55 Rescue Drive! Jake is reducing my adoption fee to only $55!Athena did so well in her temporary foster home. She`s so loving and cuddly. She enjoys playing with her toys and going on walks, walking at an easy pace. She’s very friendly with other people inside and outside the home. For the most part, she has a very chill and loving personality and just wants to be close to her people all the time. Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, and our Athena is just as magical. She is SOOOO SWEET! She is so much fun to walk and play with. And when it comes time to snuggle, well this gorgeous pup leans right in and practically melts in your arms. So many volunteers really love this doggie, and you will too. She is such a dream dog, but she needs to be the only pet in a home....and honestly, she`s all the pet you need! please. Ready for a new best friend in your heart and home? Athena is waiting for you!!
