Story
This is Scout (Previously known as Rocky and Rocket).  While we don't know his full story, we know that his original owner did him a huge injustice.  He was not neutered and there were 2 other aggressive males in the home also not neutered.  The owner was about to just release him on the streets to fend for himself until a good samaritan stepped in and offered to take him, suggests he wasn't loved.   Scout is a young Blue Heeler Australian Cattle Dog, estimated to be between 2 and 3 years old.  Typical of the breed he has boundless energy and needs a home that will not only provide him with the love and security he craves but also an active lifestyle that will provide him with the physical and mental stimulation he needs to be the best dog he can be.  He also needs consistent training and an experienced owner to provide him with the confidence and skills he needs to cope with everyday life.  He is very loving toward people but Not good around other animals and is currently dog reactive.  He will need to be in a home as the only pet. No dogs.  No cats, and no small children (due to his energy, he might knock them down).  He also needs a yard with a high fence. He is crate trained but is always very excited to come out and it can be challenging getting him to calm down initially but once he has, he is generally very calm inside the home and loves nothing more then to curl up beside you with his head on your lap. Scout is currently in his 3rd foster home.  His current foster is not able to provide the mental and physical activity he needs and is hoping for Scout's sake, his ideal person and home is out there. Scout deserves the opportunity to show his true self but without the training and right life style, the odds are against him. Scout is recently neutered, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on all his core shots. Contact foster directly at 703-994-0669 or bkohan2018@hotmail.com as this is a guest posting.   Adoption fee: $525, includes all shots, sterilized, heartworm negative, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog.

Story
Meet Roxanne! This sweet cattle dog mix is such a cuddle bug! At just four months old, she is already keeping her indoor area clean and goes outside to potty. Roxanne does well with other dogs and cats and loves attention. At this time, she is not a fan of being crated but does well outside of her crate. Roxanne’s current foster says she is absolutely precious and she could just hold her all day long. If this sounds like the pup for you, please complete an application at https://www.saveastray.org/forms/form?formid=3635 Once the application is approved, a FaceTime will be set up for a virtual meet and greet. Since we are located in Mobile, AL, this will give you the opportunity to see the pet interact with other dogs, people, and see a bit of their personality. Transports leave every week alternating between the NE and the Great Lakes. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. Thank you for your interest in a Save a Stray pet.

Story
Ever wonder if it is even possible for show stopping beauty, an amazing brain, AND a five-star winning personality to come in the same package?! Lucky for you — they do for this sweet girl! Juniper is a treasure of a dog, waiting for her forever home. Just look at those beautiful, bright amber eyes and freckled nose. Juniper is a gorgeous girl and a perfect medium size. She always upbeat and carries a smile on her face. Besides her looks, Juniper is also a very smart, trainable girl. The sky is the limit for her. She’s eager to learn. She’s also pretty athletic so she would be a great running companion. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to try dog sports like agility. Juniper would be perfect! And best of all, Juniper has a very sweet disposition with every person she meets. She craves attention from her people and will be a loyal companion for years to come! She would be perfectly content being an only dog or possibly one other canine companion that suits her fancy. She's doggy selective, and would need a little time to warm up to a new BFF once they know she's in charge of the playtime antics. Juniper is a year or two old, 40-45 lb. This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story
Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Snuggles fetch and food!  What do these things have in common?  Ranger!  These just happen to be his most favorite things!  If you too love puppy snuggles then he’s the guy for you.   After a seemingly never ending game of fetch, Ranger will happily settle down and chill with a chew bone or even better a nap snuggled up next to his favorite person.   Food is up next on his list of faves, which makes him an ideal candidate for training! He loves to learn and picks up new skills so quickly.  All he needs is a new family to continue his education. It’s hard to believe this adorable guy was taken to a shelter in SW VA after being hit by a car and no one claimed him.  After being cleared by a vet he was able to be transferred to Mutts for a chance at a better life!  It’s taken some time for us to really get to know him but after spending quality time in not one, but two foster homes (he’s so popular two foster families are sharing his time!), we’ve discovered what an amazing boy Ranger is! To note, Ranger can be uncomfortable and reactive to some dogs while on leash.  We feel with the right fear free training, time and patience, this can be managed and improved.  Ranger has had some good play sessions with female dogs and was able to coexist in a foster home with calm, female dogs.  At this time it is best for Ranger to live in a single family home with a fenced yard where his interactions around other dogs can be managed.  He is able to go for walks with a plan and lots of treats for distractions.  Trust us when we say this love bug will be worth all the extra effort! Ranger is 40lbs and 2 yrs old.  **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org. Upcoming adoption events: Saturday Dec 6th  12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax                         Saturday Dec 13th 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston     Saturday Jan 3rd 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax     Saturday  Jan 10th 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza;Reston We are always desperate for foster homes, now more than ever. If you are interested in fostering, please complete an application... unless you are a previous adopter/foster, then you can just contact us via phone (703-988-2608) or email (adopt@muttloverescue.org) to tell us which dog you want to foster!    For information on sponsoring this dog, please write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.   WE NEED FOSTER HOMES!

He loves being brushed and showing off his newly learned tricks and is quickly learning all basic commands. He doesn't pull on his leash and even waits on the top of the stairs for whoever is walking him. He is just looking for his forever best friends to share pets and treats with.   Adoption fee: $525, includes all shots, sterilized, heartworm negative, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.
