Serious inquires only please.Dollar is a sweet boy full of pure love! He is playful, energetic, never aggressive, and always ready to bring joy, laughs, and loyal companionship. Yes, he is a little spoiled (in the best way) and loves attention, cuddles, praise, and playtime. He thrives on being around people he knows and will happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give.Great news! He’s already got some manners! Dollar is fully housebroken and crate trained, making the transition into a new home much easier. He also knows basic commands and listens well, especially when treats are involved (food is his love language!). He’s great with other dogs and enjoys both playtime and relaxing at home. This sweet guy is affectionate and eager to please. Dollar would do best with an active family or individual ready to match his energy and continue giving him the love and engagement he’s used to. 💙 P.S. He comes w/ his crate, toys, treats, & at least a month of food.

Story
🌙 Meet Moon: Our Little Lunar Wonder! ✨ They say the moon shines brightest in the dark, and our sweet girl Moon is proof of that! At just 6 months old, this resilient little pittie pup is already capturing hearts at Perfectly Paired Pitties. Moon is deaf and she doesn't let that stop her from living her absolute best life. Moon has full vision with no deficts noted. Her night vision may not be as strong as most dogs due to missing tapetum (which is a reflective layer at the back of the eye). This does not affect her normal tay time vision and is not expected to worsen over time. She is a total lovebug who takes her snuggle duties very seriously. At night, she loves to curl up right next to you, and she’ll even wake up for a quick second just to nudge you and make sure her favorite human is still there. 🐶❤️ ⚠️ Status Update: Moon is not yet available for adoption while we work with our trainers to teach her the hand signals. She will be spayed soon. However, she would love for you to follow along on her journey! House & Crate- trained: Yes! 🏠🎉 Leash Skills: In progress and doing great! 🐾 Favorite Things: Tug-of-war, outdoor adventures, and midnight cuddles. Keep an eye on our page for more updates on this special star! 🌟 Moon's Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/JCV6R9IC7UVE/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities.

Story
# Meet Ochi ❤️🐾 Ochi is a special boy with a name and story as beautiful as he is\. His name was inspired by Ocho Rios, Jamaica, known for its eight rivers and its beautiful natural scenery\. When we first brought Ochi home, his soft tan coat reminded us of the warm Jamaican sand, and his bright blue eyes looked just like the ocean\. As he grew, his eyes changed to a beautiful hazel, making him even more unique\. 🎂 **Birthday:** August 8, 2023 Ochi is a wonderful, well\-trained dog who has been a loved and cherished part of our family\. He is a smart boy who knows his manners and has so much love to give\. This is an incredibly difficult decision for our family\. We love Ochi dearly, and rehoming him is not something we ever imagined having to do\. Unfortunately, due to an upcoming move, we are unable to take him with us, and we want to find him a home where he can continue to be loved, cared for, and part of a family. We are not just looking for a new owner for Ochi. We are l

Story
Meet a medium-sized, loyal, and affectionate companion with a moderate energy level who is looking for a dedicated forever home. She is house-trained, quiet, plays well with other dogs, and loves standard routines like eating right alongside her pack. She requires an adult-only home without children or seniors, as her intensity can be overwhelming for them. To ensure complete transparency, she is a reactive dog who has bitten in the past when feeling overwhelmed, unsupervised, or around unfamiliar people. She is not a bad dog, but she needs an experienced, attentive owner who can provide strict supervision, structure, and ongoing training to address behaviors like jumping or unexpected reacting to strangers. Using a preventative muzzle in public or new environments is essential. With clear boundaries, active management, and a committed, loving leader, her playful and protective spirit will truly shine.

Story
Meet Athena, a sweet senior girl at almost 8 years young looking for her forever home. She LOVES: - People! especially adults. She's okay with any adult coming into her home & giving her cuddles and/or walks. She loves the cleaning ladies and her daily dog walkers. - Treats! Cheese is her favorite and she knows the word. Her hedgehog! She uses it to self-soothe when she gets overwhelmed. She just sits on her bed and mouths it when she's overstimulated. Tennis balls are a close second. - Walks! especially on the trail. There are so many smells and she loves to walk for miles. For the most part she will loose leash walk and redirect easily, but she definitely has some terrier in her and might lunge for a squirrel. - her clothes! She loves a hoodie and she's quite fashionable. She gets very excited when I put her sweaters on her. - Sunbathing! She loves to sunbathe on the back deck. BACKGROUND: Athena was abandoned with her 10 pups in Puerto Rico in the middle of a violent rain storm, she was rescued by a good Samaritan who took them inside to safety. Traveling up to Virginia in 2019, she was adopted by a family that loved her very much. Four years later, her family had a small human of their own, and Athena did not do well adjusting as they became mobile. Athena is physically healthy, though a pesky floating kneecap can sometime bother her if she's been running around a LOT. She may also have some allergies that affect her skin. KNOWN WITH DOGS: Athena is dog selective. She prefers to just coexist. KNOWN WITH CATS: Athena did not react well at an event with cats. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Athena would prefer to not live with kids. KNOWN CUES: She knows basic commands - sit, down, push-up, shake (both sides), spin, touch, and good at agility. She's very smart and eager to learn! She's working on: - Leash training. She's working on some leash reactivity to big dogs, school buses, and the mail man. - Listening when she's overstimulated KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: She is absolutely amazing in the house: - crate trained (she doesn't need it, she's trustworthy enough to free roam) - house broken - Trustworthy. She's never chewed on something that wasn't hers or tried to jump on the counter. She does beg, but who doesn't? ___________________________________ If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail trailshomefarm@homewardtrails.org PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Trails Home Farm LOCATION: An amazing foster home in Northern Virginia!

Story
Currently fostered in: Brooklyn Park, MD 💙Meet Jackson!💙 This big, goofy teddy bear adores people, has personality for days, and has one of the sweetest hearts you'll ever meet! At 2.5 years old and about 75 pounds, Jackson firmly believes he is the perfect size to be your personal shadow, weighted blanket, emotional support buddy, and full-time best friend. He takes the title 'sidekick' very seriously. Privacy? Never met her. Getting up to grab a snack? He's coming with you (and wants one too!) Going to run errands? He's at the door ready to go! Need to use the bathroom? Well... Jackson believes that's a team activity too. This all means one thing: Once Jackson bonds with you- you've got the most loyal best friend for life. 💙ENERGY AND PERSONALITY💙 Jackson is everything we love about big dogs— equal parts sweetheart and goofball! He charms everyone he meets, and is sure to make you laugh with his oversized puppy antics and his determination to convince you that he is lap-dog sized. He adores meeting new people, listens well, and has a happy-go-lucky outlook on life that makes everyone fall in love with him. Jackson also loves toys, bones, car rides, naps in his humans bed, and is 100% convinced that every snack in your hand was probably meant for him. (Honestly...he makes a really compelling argument.) Jackson has a balanced energy level and is happy to lounge around OR go on an adventure. He has recently been to birthday parties, yoga classes, the beach, etc. and had a blast everywhere he went! He doesn't care where you're going- he's just so grateful he gets to go with you! 💙SOCIAL LIFE💙 Jackson is known to quickly wins hearts wherever he goes. He gets along very well with other dogs of all sizes, though his play style is best described as "VERY enthusiastic." He'd love a larger canine friend who enjoys roughhousing as much as he does or a canine companion who doesn't mind his goofy antics. He'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all of your attention as an only dog. Jackson currently lives in a foster home with two cats and bounces between polite curiosity and chasing them in an effort to get them to play with him. 💙IDEAL HOME ENVIRONMENT💙 Like many rescue dogs, Jackson is still learning that being alone isn't so scary and that his humans will always be back for him. He would do best in a home where someone is home often, or where they can make arrangements for him to spend the day with someone while they are at work (i.e.: doggie daycare, hanging out with a family member/friend/sitter, etc.) After spending so much of his life without a family of his own, Jackson's hoping for a home that understands he's still healing from his rough start, will be patient as he continues to build confidence, and won't mind having a devoted sidekick who thinks life is better together. Jackson has brought so much joy to his foster home, so we know he will bring a ton of joy to your home too! At the end of the day, Jackson is just a big sweet softie that has waited far too long for a furever family that shows him endless love and safety. Jackson has spent long enough wondering when it will finally be his turn. If you're looking for a dog who will love you with his whole entire heart every single day for the rest of his life... Jackson has been waiting his whole life for you. 💙INCLUDED VETERINARY CARE💙 Jackson is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and receiving heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives along with routine parasite treatments and yearly routine heartworm/lyme testing.
