loving Lucy Lu, this super smart super loyal girl is looking for her forever home. She loves to go on walks, hikes, trips to the lake and the mountains make her a very happy girl. She is extremely well on a leash as well as car rides. She would love to just be an only dog as sometimes she can be dog selective. She is the kindest little lady with the biggest heart.

This young Australian Shepherd and Rat Terrier mix is a medium-sized bundle of fun who’s ready to turn your backyard into his personal circus (don’t worry—he’s the good kind of chaos).     Ferris gets along great with other dogs and believes playdates are serious business. He’s also quite the athlete—so athletic, in fact, that he can clear a 4-foot fence without breaking a sweat. If there were a doggie Olympics, he’d bring home the gold. Because of his aerial talents, Ferris will need a secure yard (no flimsy fences or trampoline escapes, please).  He’s working on his house training and learning fast—this smart boy aims to please!     Ferris is fun, affectionate, and ready to find his forever family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with brains and boundless love, apply today and meet Ferris while he's still on the market! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training.

This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.

Because of that, the world can feel a bit big and unfamiliar—but he’s learning quickly, and his resilience is truly inspiring. Despite everything, he remains incredibly sweet, trusting, and eager to love.     This sweet boy may be a little shy at first—especially around men—but give him just a little time and he will choose you as his person. Drew is wonderful with everyone he meets—dogs, cats, and kids alike. He’s crate-trained, doesn’t bark or whine, and is respectful in the home. He listens beautifully, walks nicely on leash, and rides like a dream in the car.     Drew does have a bit of that herding-dog energy, but he’s not over-the-top. He’ll pace a bit when he’s unsure, a leftover habit from his past, but he’s also perfectly happy to relax and just be near his person once he feels safe.     If you have room in your heart for a shy soul ready to bloom, Drew is waiting for you.  Apply today!

Story
8 months, ~30 lbs Personality: energetic, playful, snuggler, shy, mischievous, and timid/fearful. Meet Noah, a pup who quickly shows his playfulness and seemingly unlimited curiosity about the world as you get to know him. He has been characterized by his current foster as the "sweetest boy" and "not having a mean bone in his body." Not only does Noah enjoy playtime and exploring, he also looks forward to quality snuggle time during the day and at sleep time, preferring to maintain physical contact with you while he’s deep in dreamland. Noah gets along amazingly with the three other dogs in his foster home, galloping with them around the yard. He’s ready to join you on your adventures and make discoveries large and small; Noah recently encountered (and mastered) the wonderful world of staircases! Noah is crate trained and is making improvements on house training. He will greet your guests with adorable enthusiasm. He’s still getting used to this great big world, and he’ll thrive with an adopter who will help him feel more confident, including with going on leash walks. Are you looking for a nurturing, playful buddy who will put a smile on your face? Apply today to meet Noah! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.
