FEATURED ADOPTABLE DOG

Lizzie
Dog
Fox Terrier Mix

Size: Medium
Age: Young
Gender: Female
Sponsor: Kevin & Robbyn Larkin, Germantown MD
               Karen Stoedte


Lizzie is a stunning, very intelligent Fox Terrier mix. Our vet says that she about 1.5 to 2 years old, is just under 30 pounds and is sweet as can be. She loves to play with her foster brothers but she can become an alpha female around other female dogs. She would do best in a home with older children, as she is playful and might knock over tiny children!

This pet is up to date with routine shots.

Brady    
Dog
Boxer Mix

Size: Medium
Age: Young
Gender: Male
Sponsor:  Jasper & Willow, Washington DC
                Melissa Urofsky, Bethesda MD


Brady is an affectionate, wonderful Boxer/Beagle mix who would love a family to call his own! Our vet says that he is between 2 and 3 years old and weighs just under 30 pounds. Although he loves affection from his person and is very sweet in return, he would do best in an adult only home or a home with older children. He would do best as an only dog as he gets jealous when his foster mom gives attention to one of her other dogs.

Meet Abbie

Abbie loves other dogs!



Abbie
Dog
German Shepherd Dog Mix

Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Gender: Female
Sponsor:  Bonnie Patterson, Rockville MD

Abbie is a stunning German Shepherd mix girl! She is very sweet and extremely intelligent. She weighs about 50 pounds and our vet estimates that she is between 3 and 4 years old. She's great with kids, but is not too fond of cats. She gets along with some but not all dogs, so she would do best as the only dog! A 5-6 ft privacy fence would be ideal, unless she's only being walked on-leash. She'd make a great running partner! She has been around kids of all ages and would make a wonderful family pet! She loves to cuddle on the couch and sleep in bed with you. She is spayed, housebroken, crate trained and knows many obedience commands. UTD on all vaccines, on heartworm preventative and Advantix.

Meet Roxie


Roxy
Dog
Spaniel Mix

Size: Small
Age: Young
Gender: Female
Sponsor: Karen and Michael Alvarez, Maryland

Roxy is an adorable, 18 pound spaniel mix. She arrived at Tara's House from a very high kill shelter in Ohio. She relishes lots of hugs and attention! Our vet estimates that Roxy is just under 1 year to 1 year old. Because she still has puppy energy, a home with children under 5 is not a good idea, but she LOVES to play with children in the 8 years old and up range.

Charlie is a 5 year old, 17 pound Brindle Terrier Mix who brightens up your day with tons of kisses. He's full of personality, loves to play but loves to snuggle more. He's dedicated to people and is a sweetheart with children as well. Charlie briefly stayed with a cat and never showed any signs of aggression towards it. He is house broken too. Charlie prefers to run the household so he should only be placed with other non-dominate dogs. As mentioned, Charlie is dedicated to his people and should be placed in a home where he will be provided with the time and attention he needs. Will you be the one to provide Charlie with his forever home? If so, he will surely warm your heart.
