Story
Meet Oreo! The sweetest, most lovable 80lbs “lap dog” you’ll ever meet… Despite the fact that she has absolutely no idea she’s not lap-sized. She’s gentle, non-aggressive, listens well, and will happily trade her soul for a good treat. Oreo has been such a joyful part of our home, but life has changed very quickly for us. I’m now caring for my mother after her stroke and juggling life with a new baby, and I simply don’t have the capacity to give Oreo the time and attention she deserves. She would thrive with a loving family who can enjoy her big heart, goofy personality, and endless cuddles.

Story
Meet my girl — a 5-year-old Pit Bull/Staffordshire Terrier with the sweetest heart! I adopted her 6 months ago from a friend, and she’s been nothing but loving and well-mannered ever since. I’m looking for a home that welcomes responsible pet owners and appreciates a calm, affectionate dog. She’s gentle, loyal, goofy, cuddly, and super friendly with people. She loves her walks, naps like a pro, and thinks belly rubs are a full-time job. She’s house-trained, easygoing, and has a very soft, relaxed personality — truly the definition of a good girl. If you’re looking for a sweet, well-behaved companion who brings nothing but love and comfort, she’s the perfect match.

Story
Meet Twix. This handsome Bully boy was found tied to a pole as a very young pup. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan saw him, took him in, and ensured he found his way to rescue. Twix has proven to be a vibrant, sweet, and smart boy, and we are thrilled to help him find his forever home. Twix is currently living with seasoned fosters, Laura and Brian, along with their resident dog, Buddy. Before arriving in the DC metro area, he lived happily in a home with four other dogs. He’s been an easy introduction to every dog he’s met and truly loves being part of a pack. Playful and social, Twix thrives in an active environment and especially enjoys rough-and-tumble play. He’ll do best in a home with a dog his size or larger who matches his energy and play style. FOSTER MOM UPDATE  Laura shared, “Twix is doing great! He settled in quickly, and we love having his fun and loving personality around. He has done a good job acclimating to Buddy, and I think he’s best paired with a medium energy-level dog that would play with him throughout the day. Buddy plays but only when he wants to, so Twix doesn't mind lounging around. He does a good job keeping himself occupied with toys, and I have no problem working from home every day. He settles down well. Twix is a very sweet boy who loves his belly rubs, playing chase, and tug-of-war is his favorite game. He does great at meeting new people and will talk to you from time to time. It’s the cutest thing.” ******* Twix has shown himself to be adaptable and eager to learn. He’s housetrained, crate-trained, and has started mastering basic commands. He rides well in the car and is a social boy who enjoys meeting new people and other dogs. He has decent leash skills and has been through some training to improve his leash skills.  Twix is very treat-motivated and learns quickly. We believe that Twix will do best in an active home. He’d thrive with a family who appreciates his fun and goofy personality and is committed to giving him the structure and love he deserves. While he loves the company of other dogs, Twix would also be happy as the center of attention in a single dog home, provided he has plenty of interaction and activity. This lovable boy has so much to offer and is ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to his new family. If you’re looking for a loyal, active, and playful companion, Twix might just be the perfect fit for you. Apply today! BREED ESTIMATE:  American Staffordshire/Bulldog/Bully Mix = Super cute!

Story
Current Location: Frederick, MD This little boy is puppy perfection. Scarface is sweet, playful, and full of love. His unique patch over one eye gives him a look you will not forget. His silly charm and that classic puppy breath seal the deal. ENERGY AND PERSONALITY Scarface is cheerful, bright, and as affectionate as they come. He plays hard, chases toys, and bounces after every new adventure. When he is tired he curls under the blankets for a warm snuggle. He loves attention, sits politely, and wants to please his people. He is looking more boxer every day with all the goofy joy to match. TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR At only 12 weeks old he is learning the world step by step. Potty training is in progress. He watches his older foster sister and copies her quickly. He settles in his crate for work hours and is growing more confident each day. He eats well, shows no resource issues, and responds fast to praise. His play style is spirited so he needs supervision to keep the fun from getting too wild. SOCIAL LIFE Scarface loves dogs and people. He has a gentle heart and soaks up affection from anyone who offers it. He brings joy to every room and makes friends fast. A LUCKY BEGINNING Scarface and his brother were found at a local post office. A kind mail carrier picked them up before they could be hurt. They arrived covered in fleas but full of spirit. Now they are thriving in foster care and learning what love feels like. BEST HOME FIT Scarface needs a home ready for a smart and active puppy. He needs structure, play, training, and cuddles. He will give his whole heart in return.
