Meet Abbie

Abbie loves other dogs!



Abbie
Dog
German Shepherd Dog Mix

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

Not Other Cats    No Other Dogs

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.

This pet is up to date with routine shots. 
This pet has been altered.

Meet Chloe the Chihuahua
Chloe gives kisses












New Small DogChloe
Dog
Chihuahua (Pure bred, long-haired)

Size: Small
Age: Young
Gender: Female

Sponsor ME!     

Chloe is an absolutely adorable long haired chihuahua. She's 2 years old and weighs 8lbs. Her favorite pastime is to play fetch with her stuffed monkey and lay around on your lap getting her back scratched. She is very giving with kisses and loves to go out for walks. We don't believe Chloe was ever properly potty trained. We are working on it, but she will need a very patient and understanding mom/dad to work with her consistently.

Chloe would also work best in a quiet environment without children. Although she's a sweetheart 95% of the time, she gets scared easily and this causes her to react negatively. She gets along with other dogs her size, but easily feels threatened by larger dogs, which again, brings out her "protective" instincts. She would be happiest as the only dog or with one other brother/sister that's under 10lbs. Chloe is also very "talkative", which is typical for the breed. If you are willing to put in the time and effort for potty training - Chloe would make an excellent addition to your house. Because Chloe is a pure breed - her adoption donation will be $275.

Before you complete our online application for Chloe, please review our adoption requirements and procedures in our Adoption Center. If you meet our minimum requirements, please complete our online application.
