Hi! I’m Angel, and I’m as beautiful as my name! The amazing volunteers with A Forever-Home rescued me from a shelter in the South after my family dumped me there just because I was pregnant. After getting comfortable in my foster family’s home, I gave birth to one bouncing baby boy, Arlo! He just found his forever home, and now it’s my turn! Since I’m young, I’m basically still a puppy myself! I am medium-sized, so I’m a perfect fit with all adults, kids and dogs. I love nothing more than to run around and cuddle with my foster family and my furry foster brother and sisters. I enjoy a good tug of war, playing with all kinds of toys and carrying all of my stuffed animals around in my mouth! I’ve never met a cat, so I’m not sure what I would do with one! I’m very energetic and fun, and it would be great if I was adopted by a family who is active and enjoys playing with me and giving me lots of attention. Having a canine brother and/or sister would be a bonus, too! I’m housebroken and crate-trained, but I need more time to master walking on a leash and learning training commands. I’m very smart, though, so I think I’ll catch on quickly! Sadly, I have been diagnosed with heartworms and will be starting my treatment process very soon. After that’s over, I will be spayed in January, and will be ready and raring to go home with my new family! If you don’t mind waiting a few months to start a new life with me, I promise you won’t be sorry! My foster mom says I’m a doll and strongly encourages you to send your application to info@aforeverhome.org now so that you can virtually meet me. Don’t wait, because January will be here before you know it!

Atlas is a big puppy who loves playing and giving kisses. He is low-key and gentle - and has not met a dog or person he doesn't like. He is getting used to his crate and has learned how to sit. So far, he has done really well with house-training with just a few accidents. Atlas cuddles up to you once he gets to know you, and he wants to be near people. Submit an application if you are interested in meeting Atlas.

Barney has shown us that he has a great personality. He loves to play and is so energetic. When it comes to playing he is very polite, he will not bite or nip when it's play time. He also understands the potty training method. We realized he's a big cuddler and loves to be petted. Do be warned, when you stop petting him he gets whiney. Haha. Barney has so much personality it's unbelievable. Barney is also great around people.

Bo is sweet-natured and happy-go-lucky. His tail is nearly always wagging – even sometimes in his sleep. He is interested in everyone and everything but in a respectful manner. He doesn’t jump up – he waits to be approached. He’s happiest when he’s being petted or just snoozing nearby. He sniffs plenty but doesn’t chew shoes or items left on the ground. He doesn’t try to get into the trash or beg or steal food, but he does appreciate the occasional treat. Bo is completely house-trained and quickly gets down to business on a walk. He’s easy on the leash and eager to explore his surroundings. He makes friends with every dog he meets and is figuring out how to interact with cats. He’s never aggressive – just not sure how to play with them. He’s crate-trained and goes in without complaint. We’ve yet to hear him bark or whimper. He sleeps through the night and greets us with a tail thump in the morning. He can be quite playful, almost puppyish. The only obvious evidence of Bo’s senior status is a gray muzzle and some stiffness. He can navigate stairs but doesn’t seek them out. He is content to stay on main level of the house. Bo absolutely loves car rides – he’s just happy to be invited along. To be fair, he’s got a few flaws. For one, he’s a sloppy drinker. And he loves to drink out of the toilet. Both issues are easily remedied by having a towel handy and keeping the bathroom door closed. 🙂

Chaloopa and Nevaeh have a sad story. They were both taken in by a kind woman with an abusive husband. He pretty much ignored both dogs but threatened to kill them if they got pregnant and refused to have them spayed. She took them to the shelter to protect them. Two of our awesome foster parents stepped up to foster and these girls will have their puppies in safe, comfortable foster homes. Their puppies will get wonderful forever homes and the moms will be available for adoption too – as soon as their puppies are weaned and they are spayed. Update: Chaloopa had her 11 babies on 9/29/2020.

Chula is adorable, sweet, and very much interested in people and other dogs. She has a normal amount of puppy energy and enthusiasm. She loves to get into her harness so that she can go for a walk. She is comfortable staying in a wire crate and is making good progress on house training. She has been very cooperative as she learns which things are OK to chew (e.g., tennis balls) and which things are not (e.g., chair rungs). She has also been cooperative about learning to stay off of all furniture except for the loveseat that is reserved for dogs. It seems likely that other aspects of training her will be easy.

These two cuties were found abandoned on a dirt road in Mississippi. As you can see, they had mange. They are being treated and will NOT be contagious when they arrive. They will also look a lot better. One of them has an injury to his foot, which is being treated.

Dolly is a sweet and resilient dog who should be available for adoption in early December. She arrived to Northern Virginia from the Charlottesville area where she was dumped at a shelter when she became pregnant. Since dad is unknown, we do not know how big her pups will be once they are grown. From the day she arrived she has been gentle and eager for love and affection, trying to be a 43 pound lap dog. House training and crate training have not needed to be addressed: no accidents and no crying in her crate! She has only barked twice: once with her first encounter with our African Grey parrot and once with a fox in the back yard. (She has subsequently become friends with the parrot.) She is wonderful with small and shy children, politely accepting their timed scratches. We are working on her leash skills; she loves to try to wander from one side of the street to the other. She is a gem and has acclimated herself quickly to her new situation.

Dolly had six beautiful babies on 9/12/2020. See her happy tail: https://youtu.be/_kZ697x5nZk
