Being Returned

Have Faith! This little lady looks forward to meeting soon the person meant for her! She is the sweetest thing one can imagine. She loves everyone and wags her tail even when walking! She is a bit underweight and overcoming some eye and skin infections. She is in her senior years but definitely still a spunky little girl. Faith would be a wonderful companion.

Hi, My name is Nosey and I am a Lab mix that came all the way from Georgia. I am a happy agreeable puppy that is calm and easy-going in the house and loves to play in the yard.  Did I mention that I love to chase balls? I am crate trained, housebroken and learning to walk nicely on a leash. I like all people, dogs, and squirrels but I haven't met a cat yet. I am sure I would like them! I am VERY good with children as well.

Breed: Saluki Mix
Age: 5 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.

Zazu is a rescue from Oman. He was found with his litter mates on the streets. He traveled a long way to get here and he needs someone who can give him a lot of love and attention. He is so sweet and loves to cuddle and hang on the couch or bed. He is crate trained and is learning to walk on a leash. He is a most likely a Saluki mix and has a lot of their graceful mannerisms; however, he is still a playful puppy and he is still growing into his long legs and big feet. He is trusting with females and takes a little longer with males. He is timid at first but very smart and learns and warms up to people and dogs he has met on the street! He is looking for a loyal companion to give him lots of love. Did I mention how strong and fast he is?

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.
