Story
Maya (known as Sydney in her foster home of 4 months) is a beautiful, smart, gentle and sweet girl. She is very loving, playful, eager to please, and house-trained. She has a very short tail and when she sees someone she loves, her whole body wiggles! She is very intelligent and quickly learned the names of her various toys and often figures out what you want her to do before you even ask. She loves to be outside in the yard with her person and her canine buddy; walks in the neighborhood she likes, but walks in the woods she loves. She wants to be your best friend and do everything you ask, but sometimes the world is a little too scary for her. She can be slow to warm up to new people and places, and likes to have a "safe space" all her own. She is cautiously happy to meet most women and some men, but she is timid with older men. She therefore is unlikely to do well in a home that includes an older man, but would likely do well in a home with a younger man. Although she has had very limited exposure, she seems fine with children. She has been fine (but shy) with the cat in her foster home. She is initially timid around most dogs, but would probably do well sharing a home with a confident, playful dog, and as you can see from the videos, once she's comfortable with another dog, she loves to run and play! Maya will need a meet and greet before proceeding with an adoption. She was rescued by HART after being surrendered to a shelter; we don't know where she lived before that. She has made steady progress coming out of her shell, but will need a person(s) who has some experience with anxious dogs and will be very patient and loving with her. Questions About this Animal?

Story
Current Location: Leesburg, VA Hi there! My name is Ozzy. I’m a handsome guy with a gorgeous set of eyes and a personality that’s even brighter. My foster mom says I’m the ultimate "people dog"—I’ve never met a stranger I didn't want to befriend! 🎾 The "Professional" Fetcher I might look like an Aussie, but I think I’m actually a Labrador. I am obsessed with tennis balls! I love playing fetch so much that I even insist on bringing a ball along on my walks. 🚿 My Favorite Things: Water Lover: Did someone say bath time? Whether it’s for me or for you, if I hear the water running, I’m jumping in! I’m the perfect buddy for anyone who doesn't mind a little bubble bath. Co-Pilot Extraordinaire: I love the car! I’ll jump right in the second the door opens. I’m such a cuddler that I actually have to wear a seatbelt to keep me from trying to sit in your lap while you drive. Social Butterfly: I get along great with other dogs and I love every human I meet. 🏃‍♂️ My Ideal Lifestyle I’m a high-energy boy who is looking for a partner-in-crime. If you’re a hiker, a runner, or have a big yard for zoomies, I’m your guy! 💁‍♂️The Nitty-Gritty: House Trained: No accidents in the house! Crate Trained: I love my crate; I go right in for a treat and settle down quietly. Health: Up-to-date on all vaccines and monthly preventatives. Still Learning: I still have some of that puppy spirit! Sometimes I get a little "mouthy" when I'm excited, but I'm easily redirected to a toy. I also like to jump up to say hello, but I'm working on my manners. I sound pretty awesome, right? I’m ready to find my "forever" adventure buddy! 💌 Adopt Me! Don’t wait—apply to adopt Ozzy today and let the adventures begin!

Story
Hi there! My name is Ray, short for 'Radar.'  That is because, you got it, my magnificent, perky ears!  I don't miss a thing!  Especially when I hear the sound of a hand reaching into a bag of my doggie treats.  I love running and playing with my foster sister so I would make a great companion pet. I also love my daily walks. I am working on gaining confidence when I'm out on walks and improving daily.  I am blind in my left eye, but I don’t reall notice it and it certainly doesn’t affect my ability to enjoy life or be a playful, loving dog. I do check the boxes for housetrained, dog friendly, kid friendly, all around people friendly and SWEETNESS.  Did I mention I sleep through the night! I warm up quickly when I first meet people and I love cuddles.  I have a heart full of love and wating for that person/family to welcome me into their home. Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org March 8, 2026, 9:02 pm
