Elias wants to be adopted

 


Featured Adoptable Pet

Elias
Dog
Beagle, Pug Mix

Size: Small
Age: Young
Gender: Male

Sponsor ME!     

Elias is the cutest little boy who came to Tara's House from a high kill shelter in Ohio! This lovable 1 year old 20lb puggle is looking for a home with lots of love. He has been completely vetted, neutered and is house-broken (a rarity in rescue!). He is very timid and shy at first around people (but loves other dogs and playing with them in the park) but will warm up to you with time. He is a snuggler and loves to nestle up with you when sleeping. He has a playful nature that has recently been coming out more and more as he gets more comfortable. He just needs a loving, cozy home to care for and nurture him.

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

Brady

This is Brady


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.

This pet is up to date with routine shots.

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.
