Every Sunday I’ll be featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups.  This week, I’ll be sharing adorable adoptables from Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) and A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (A Forever Home).

November is Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month, so I’ve got some lovely senior pets to share with you today.  You know I think that senior pets rock, so let’s find them some homes!

First up, meet Alice!  This Beagle/Dachshund mix is approximately 8 years old.   Here’s her bio from A Forever Home:

“Hi, my name is Alice. I am beagle/dachshund mix. I am housebroken,
crate trained and moderately active. My favorite past time is spending
time with my foster mom and my foster sister who I am laying with in the
picture. She says I am an angel because I don’t chew on anything and
she can trust me when I am out of her site. I am not good with young
children as they make me nervous so I would do best in a home with no
children under 12 years of age. I prefer to be the only pet so I can
get all the hugs and kisses. I walk nicely on a leash and am not a big
barker.”

If you have lots of hugs and kisses for Alice, visit A Forever Home for more information or email Info@aforeverhome.org.  To view the other pets available for adoption at A Forever Home, click here.

A Forever Home also has a weekly adoption event at the PetCo in Chantilly.  For the address and to find out more info, click here. 
(If you have your eye on a specific pet, please email for information
first – not all pets will be at the weekly event.  However, there are a
lot of awesome pets in need of homes, so if you’re in the neighborhood,
stop by and meet some of them!)

Up next, meet Ernie!  Ernie is one of the wonderful dogs I met when I took photos at FOHA.  Here’s his bio from FOHA:

“Sweet Ernie is losing his sight and hearing and would truly benefit
from a quieter environment. He was one of many stray dogs who end up on
the PTS list in a rural pound. His rescuer said that he would dig holes
and sleep in the corners of the pen instead of sleeping in his house, as
if he had no concept of shelter. He even had to learn to eat out of a
bowl.

FOHA must seem like Heaven to Ernie. He has shelter, heat in the
winter, a/c in the summer, nutritious food, a full water bowl, a bed,
and TLC from his favorite volunteers. But we know Ernie’s life could be
even better if he had a family and home to call his own.

Ernie loves going for walks. He is great on the leash and pretty
low-energy. After all, he is in his twilight years. Ernie is very
affectionate and would make a great addition to any family.

Ernie has won the hearts of the volunteers with his mild manners and
trusting personality, won’t you give him the chance to win your heart
too? Email Cheryl at fosteradog@foha.org.”

If Ernie sounds like the guy for you, visit Friends of Homeless Animals for more information, call 703-385-0224 or email doginfo@foha.org.  To see the other dogs (or cats) available for adoption at FOHA, please click here.
