Every week, I’ll be featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups. This week, I’m sharing adorable adoptables from Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) and A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (A Forever Home). Ready to meet this week’s featured pups, Janai & Tasha? Here we go…
First up, meet Janai! This lovely lady is approximately 4 years old, weighs about 40 pounds, and is a Plott Hound mix. I actually had the pleasure of meeting her when I visited FOHA for dog walking training last weekend. She and I enjoyed a lovely walk together – Janai is an absolute sweetheart. Here’s her bio from FOHA:
“Janai was given up by her owner when she had a litter of puppies. The owner simply couldnt take care of her anymore and was overwhelmed by all the new dogs on her property. A lady was contacted who held onto the dogs until they all got rescued. The puppies went to a rescue organization in Richmond, but unfortunately they didnt have room for the Momma Dog. Friends was contacted and we did have space for her!!
Janai loves to play with other dogs. She is a medium-high energy dog who would love to run around in the dog park or just go on some nice hikes. She was a little nervous when she came in, but is coming around nicely! She is not very comfortable riding in the car, but thats probably because every time she enters it, her world is turned upside down (being surrendered by her owner, going to the vet, going to a shelter, etc). She would probably learn to not be afraid once she gets taken to the dog park! Janai would probably do well with an active family who doesnt have cats!”
Up next, meet Tasha! This Anatolian Shepherd mix is approximately 5 years old. Here’s her bio from A Forever Home:
“Tasha was originally given up because her family relocated to California. She is housebroken, crate trained and leash trained. She is good with other dogs but due to her size she would be best with a medium or large playmate. She has been through obedience training and has her canine good citizenship certificate. She is still growing and very strong. Tasha needs an experienced large breed dog owner. She will not be placed with young children as she does not realize how large she is. Tasha is somewhat shy when you first meet her but warms up quickly.“
If you think you have the perfect home for Tasha, 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!)
