Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html ***************** Holly is a cute, affectionate and active young dog, look at those ears ! She doesn't miss anything. She loves people, but should ideally only live with adults and older children due to her activity level. She is dog selective in a defensive way, she becomes uneasy when an unknown dog approaches. Her new owner(s) would ideally be experienced with bully breed dogs. She is very active and will need an owner(s) who can give her enough exercise to wear her out, like a runner !! She needs a securely fenced yard with a 6 ft privacy fence, as she likes to leap and jump in her play. She is about 4 yrs old and 35 lbs, a great snuggle size; she's also good on a leash. She's been fully vetted, including spay, vaccines and deworming. She's very playful and loves her toys including old buckets, balls, kongs, antlers, beef bones and anything that can be thrown or she can kick around. She's sweet and playful, and will make a great pet for the right person.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Oliver! Oliver is about 1.5 years old and weighs about 33 lbs. Our best guess for Oliver's breed mix is Pocket Pitbull/Terrier Mix (just a guess). Oliver is the most playful guy and can play with humans and dogs alike. He gets along with dogs of all sizes. Oliver enjoys hiking (while carrying a stick). He loves carrying a toy or stick around whenever he has the chance. Oliver's favorite times of day are breakfast and dinner. He knows how to heel. Oliver also knows how to be calm in place or his crate. Oliver is good with other dogs and will need another playful dog in his forever home. Oliver is NOT good with cats. He is not in a foster home with children, but we feel he would do best with children 5 years and up (due to energy level). Oliver is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from Canine and Kitties Rescue*** The adoption fee for this dog is $375.00, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check.

Story

Well, like Tom Cruise, who recently starred in the blockbuster movie Top Gun: Maverick, I, too, am a charming fella and a true delight. And, while I may not be a movie star, I can certainly be your hero, your partner, your best friend. And, in the maverick spirit, I aim to do good and am eager to please yet, value my independence and boundaries and, therefore, not suited for a family with young children. That said, I am very affectionate, kind of goofy, adventurous and would welcome walks and hikes to the destination of your choice. In addition to my spirited personality, at the risk of boasting, I am absolutely adorable. If you don't believe me, just look at my photos and you can see that I am the perfect size and not the least bit camera shy! I don't need Tom Cruise's fortune and fame or a maverick conquering the world. My needs are far more simple - a loving and understanding family and the comforts of home suit me just fine. Thank you for your interest in Maverick!

I will need an experienced owner who understands my insecurities and is able and willing to provide me the daily structure and comforts of home that I so desperately need. I recognize that this is a very special request and am hopeful that a special person or family will be a great match enabling me to thrive. This special person or family, after an initial period of time, will reap the rewards of watching me blossom and become a wonderful, affectionate companion who will bring you unconditional joy for many years to come. I'd say that's a pretty good return on investment &#128521,,,,,,,,. Thank you for your interest in Briscoe!

ABOUT TURIN: LOCATION: An amazing foster home in Northern VA ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Trails Home Farm Staff ADOPTION FEE: $0 WAIVED! If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: trailshomefarm@homewardtrails.org PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ After waiting over 3 years in shelters, Turin finally found a loving foster and he's doing wonderfully! Here's what his foster had to say about our handsome silver fox. "Turin is a sweet, laid-back guy who has adjusted well to his foster home. He loves snuggling on the couch, going for leisurely walks and is ALWAYS up for a car ride. He knows how to "sit", he'll go in his crate when asked, and has had no accidents in the house. He sleeps soundly through the night, even racing me to bed when the lights go out. Peanut butter is a favorite treat as are apples and sweet potatoes. He's not a fan of thunder or the vacuum cleaner but just needs reassurance that he's ok. Turin just wants to love and be loved and will make an amazing companion for someone who wants the same!" It's unfortunate that Turin has been looked over along with so many other dogs in shelters and it breaks our hearts that he hasn't found his people yet. Anyone would be lucky to call this sweet guy their best friend. DOGS: Can be selective, but does well with calm dogs of any size CATS: Turin cannot live with cats KIDS: 16+ ADOPTION INCLUDES: Spay/Neuter First 3 distemper series vaccines & de-wormings Microchip - lifetime with no registration fees Current on heartworm preventative Current on flea/tick preventative EXCLUSIVE HOMEWARD TRAILS ADOPTER BENEFITS: Free first exam with: Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Palisades Veterinary Clinic, Jermantown Animal Hospital and Clarendon Animal Care and all VCA Animal Hospitals (VCA offers $250 coverage - details provided) Free online workshop with a professional dog trainer at Fur-Get Me Not within the first 30 days of adopting (in DC/Arlington/Alexandria only) BE A FOSTER: Save a life: http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program.
