Story
We haven't DNA tested Dance Offs but we're sure he'll come back 100% good boy. He's on the smaller size for 9 weeks old so he may stay under 40lbs once full grown. He loves meeting people, wiggling his tiny tail and covering all new friends in kisses.  Dance Offs is progressing well with potty training. He does his business as soon as he is outside (already paws at the door request to go outside when he needs to) or on a puppy pad, and is improving more everyday! He is a smart little guy who is solving puzzles and picking up training quickly, working on mastering sit, down and shake. Dance Offs is getting used to being in his crate at night. Once he gets settled, he usually sleeps through the night like a champ.  He loves bananas and apples so he asks if you are having a snack can he pretty please have a small piece too? Adoption Day: November 29th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt.   Some pups may stick around until 11:00 AM for the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun! ##2573743##

Story
Blackey truly is the perfect dog. He is smart, obedient, loyal and loves to snuggle. He just turned one year old and is crate, potty trained and leash trained. He is treat motivated which makes a faster learner. Blackey and his siblings were pulled from a high kill shelter in Mississippi after being rescued from a hoarding situation. He loves to go on walks and play with his foster sister and after that he loves to snuggle and take naps with his humans! Blackey takes a little bit of time to warm up, but is a loyal friend once he knows you.  He would do well in a home with older children who will be patient and understand him. He does well with other dogs but can also be happy as an only pup. He is an absolute love bug! Give him some time and he will reward you with love, companionship, devotion and lots of snuggles.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 November 18, 2025, 10:28 pm
