Breed: Saluki Mix
Age: 7 months
Gender: Female (Spayed)

Mini is a Saluki mix. She weighs about 15 pounds now and apparently fully grown could be 25 pounds.  Mini arrived from Oman. Recently she had an unfortunate accident and broke a bone in her rear leg, requiring surgery. She should be ready to go to her forever home by the end of April.  In the meantime, interested adopters may submit an application for her and may visit her toward the end of March at her foster’s home in Fairfax City,

Mini is a beautiful puppy and continues to adapt to her new surroundings.  She is gentle and affectionate, reserved but friendly once introduced to newcomers.  She loves being held, cuddling and having her ears and belly rubbed. She is crate trained and asks to go out to do her business.  Salukis are minimal shedding and have no doggie odor.  Before her accident she was learning to walk with a leash. She understands “no”, sit” and “down” and she LOVES to retrieve items. Despite her reserved demeanor, she is very playful and likes to rough house and gets very excited when she plays. She plays with all her toys, shaking and tossing them around. Like salukis, Mini is VERY fast and can spin on a dime.   

She needs patience and reassurance as she continues to adjust to our climate and her new home.  

Breed: Australian Shepherd / Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Age: 3 years
Gender: Male (Neutered)

Petey is a two-year-old neutered male Cattle Dog/Pit Bull cross. He was originally adopted out as a puppy. He became very protective of his family after the birth of their first child. He had also had an incident with another dog at a daycare, as well as nipped at a child in the complex where he was living. His owners decided it was in the best interest of both Petey and their growing family to return him to the rescue.

Petey is a very smart, handsome, athletic dog. He LOVES to play fetch and will chase the ball and bring it back for as long as you are willing to throw it for him. He knows basic commands, some cute tricks, walks well on a leash, is housebroken and crate trained.

Petey needs to find a home that either doesn’t have children or one in which the children are teenagers or older. He would be best suited to a home with a yard, where he can play and bask in the sun. His ideal owner will be looking for a walking, hiking, jogging companion.

If you are willing to accept that Petey is not interested in saying hello to every dog or person he meets, and that he has a strong herding instinct with both dogs and children, and are willing to manage both of those situations, you should come and meet Petey. He is truly a wonderful boy, his intelligence, athleticism, energy level and genetics make him not the dog for every family, but perhaps he is the perfect dog for you!

Meet Queenie, A super sweet beagle, weighing 21 pounds. She is a submissive, gentle girl who gets along with kids, cats, and other dogs. Queenie was lived most of her life, chained to a small dog house since she was just 8 weeks of age. One of her siblings died due to extreme heat. She was owned by a family who bred her over and over again. She got free once and a neighbor tried to get the owner to surrender her – no luck. Finally, after two more years (this past week), the owner agreed to sell her to a concerned neighbor (likely because she was of no use to him any more). The neighbor surrendered her to our rescue partner who got her fully vetted. She is doing great on her house training, crate training, and leash training.

Hi I am a shy boy full of love to give my new family.  I would do best in a home as the only pet as I like my alone time. A family with kids would be so much fun.  My Foster Mom thinks I am really smart as I have already started to learn how to sit when she ask and go in my crate all by myself.
