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, Igor & Tasha? Here we go…

First up, meet Igor!  (Awesome name, right?)  This handsome guy is approximately 2 years old, weighs about 55 pounds, and is a Shar Pei mix.  Here’s his bio from FOHA:

“Ivy is my sister. Someone abandoned us and another little black dog alone in the woods when we were just puppies. The little black dog took care of us as best he could. Someone gave him a sandwich to eat and he didn’t even touch it. He brought it over to the woods and gave it to my sister and me. True story!! He didn’t eat any of it.

We were found by some people who took care of us and helped our hair grow back. Then a nice couple fell in love with us and took us home. We thought it was going to be our forever home, but boy were we fooled. Two years later they had a baby and our family abandoned us again. They didn’t have time for us and didn’t care about us. The people I thought loved me…well, they didn’t care about us at all. I love food…and I love that I get 2 meals a day now….every day, without fail. Life is looking up. Now….if I could just find a REAL forever home….”

 

If you’re interested in adopting Igor and/or his sister Ivy, visit the FOHA website for more information, or email doginfo@foha.org.  To view the other pets available for adoption at FOHA, click here.


Up next, meet Abner!  This Lhasa Apso mix is approximately 5 years old. Here’s his bio from A Forever Home:

“I’m Abner, a Lhasa Apso mix. I was dropped off at a shelter in Cumberland, Maryland in the middle of the night on Tuesday, January 31, 2012, along other dogs and poodle puppies. I was on the news! A Forever Home rescued me! Let me tell you – it’s the BEST thing that’s ever happened to me. In my 5 years of life, I have not known what I feel now at my new foster’s home. I’m still trying to process why these people – who never met me before February 1, 2012 – act so different towards me than the person(s) who dumped me at the shelter.

Where I am now, they tell me they “love” me, but I don’t really know what “love” means. I do know that their voice is soft, I get held tight, scratched behind my ears and all over. That makes me feel so good. I get brushed daily and I have my own food three times each day! Guess all these things means ‘love’ – I could get use to this. I think I stayed outside all the time in my previous life, but my mom makes sure I’m not alone. I sleep with her and get extra scratching. She holds me so tight that I can hardly breathe, but I like it.

I walk funny from an old back injury and my hind legs don’t act right. I ‘gimp’, but it doesn’t stop me from walking. I’ve only known walking in a square or rectangle because that’s what I’ve been use to. When I got to my foster home, they took me out to do my business but, to my surprise, when I was done, I got to go inside, where it’s warm. I like everyone here, except what they call ‘cats’. Don’t know what they are but they don’t seem to like me. I try to get them to play, but they don’t respond, except to yell at me.

I’d love to be your everything. I need someone who won’t force me to be anything but what I want to be. I don’t need to be taken to a dog park. I just want someone who will understand where I came from, and that, with my bad back legs, I can’t do a lot of steps or run – just let me be me. Make me feel good every day, scratch me, feed me, and want to be close to me. That’s a lot to ask, so maybe I need someone who can dedicate themselves 24/7 to me. Oh, and it would help NOT to have cats or young children. Do you need companionship? Can you dedicate yourself to me? I might be the one for you.“

If you think you have the perfect home for Abner, 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!)

Do you have room in your home (and your heart) for one of these cute canines?  Then contact FOHA or A Forever Home.  If you know someone else who might be in the market for an awesome companion, please share this post.  Let’s find some homes for Igor and Abner!

Every week, I’ll be featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups.  This week, I’m sharing adorable adoptables from the Humane Society of Fairfax County (HSFC) and A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (A Forever Home).  Ready to meet this week’s featured pups, Belinda & Mac? Here we go…

First up, meet Belinda!  This Beagle/Plott Hound mix weighs approximately 35 pounds and is looking for a new friend.  Here’s her bio from HSFC:

“This is one beautiful girl you won’t want to miss meeting. Belinda is incredibly sweet and loving. She was picked up by Animal Control as a stray with injuries. It was suspected she had been hit by a car. As soon as they realized how wonderful she was, they called us right away to help save her from euthanasia. And they were so right! She is not only adorable but too sweet to describe. She has gone through a very successful surgery to repair a dislocated hip, but healing beautifully. You’ll just have to come and meet her for yourself to see exactly what we’re talking about. She’s 3 yrs. old, likes other dogs and all ages of people. She is so ready to find a new family who will give her the love she deserves.

Attributes: Too Sweet For Words!”

 

Do you have a home for this lovely lady?  If so, visit the HSFC website for more information.  To view the other pets available for adoption at HSFC, click here.


Up next, meet Mac, a handsome Beagle/Labrador Retriever mix.   Here’s his bio from A Forever Home:

“Hi, I’m Mac short for Paul McCartney. I am a gentle, slender small version of a lab but I am actually a 3-year-old lab/beagle mix. I got all the lab coloring and none of the beagle. I am very gentle and sensitive. I quietly love being with my foster family after being with my old family. For some time, their schedule was sooooo bad that I was in a crate with my brother Lenny as they said for about 20 hours a day! I am one of those dogs that curl up in a little ball and just love to lean against my foster. I also like being out of my crate unless it is bedtime or they go out, which isn’t often that they both go out. I love people and enjoy pets. I can get scared a little but them all I want is a pet to know it’s ok. My foster thinks it is very funny that after two days with her, all she has to do is whistle and I come right to her! I can do my commands of sit, down and shake. I am very gentle and have a very light touch. I am looking for a new home where I can be out of my crate most of the day. Please come and meet me at the adoptions. I really love the pets from big people and the kids!“

If you think you have the perfect home for Mac, 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.

Adorable adoptables in Northern Virginia: Janai & Tasha

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!”

 

Have you been looking for a lady like Janai?  If so, visit the FOHA website for more information, or email doginfo@foha.org.  To view the other pets available for adoption at FOHA, click here.


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.

Every week, I’ll be featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups.  This week, I’m sharing adorable adoptables from the Humane Society of Fairfax County (HSFC) and A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (A Forever Home).  Ready to meet this week’s featured pups, Handsome & Coaster? Here we go…

First up, , meet Handsome!  This Shepherd/Hound mix weighs approximately 35 pounds and is looking for a new friend.  Here’s his bio from HSFC:

“Handsome is a cutie pie. He is a gorgeous boy and not quite a year old. He has some sad stories to share and may take a while to tell you all about his past. He was a stray for many months and is very shy. He needs some special TLC with someone who will be patient with him while he learns to trust again. He is gentle and great with other dogs, but he is slower to show his wonderful spirit and fun side with humans. If you really want to help a special dog, come and meet Handsome. He has already shown great improvement, however, being with a family who will love him will make his progress go so much faster.

Attributes: Needs a special friend!”

Up next, meet Coaster!  This lovely Cocker Spaniel is approximately 10 years old.   Here’s her bio from A Forever Home:

“Hi my name is Coaster. I am a healthy Cocker looking for a new home. I have a sad story to tell: you see my human mom died unexpectedly and my sister and I got dumped at our Vet’s office. I am very confused and don’t know what is going on. I know I need a new home. I am very sweet and would love to find someone to love me like my mom loved me. In typical cocker fashion, I love to play with toys and I love to snuggle next to you (or on you). Some nice lady is letting me stay with her until I find my own forever home. If you want she will let you come over and meet me.“

Up next, meet Mia!  This lovely lady is approximately 4 years old and weights 65 pounds.   Here’s her bio from A Forever Home:

“Mia is a pure-bred English bulldog. She is very friendly. Very low-keyed and lovable. She enjoys walks and playing. She is good with other dogs as well. She is looking for a new home because her family is moving to a new home with limited space. Mia loves to play with a ball and was named after famous soccer star, Mia Hamm, because she’s so good with moving the ball around with her nose and front feet! Mia is a typical bulldog in the fact that she is low maintenance and enjoys relaxing, but she is athletic too and loves a quick play in the yard or doggy park. She loves to fetch tennis balls and enjoys walks. But not too far! She is a bulldog after all. When she was only 3 lbs, she loved carrying around and chewing on plastic water bottles and she still does to this day. She makes you feel protected in your home, and she is so sweet and loyal. We expect there to be a lot on interest in her. If you would like to meet her, please fax an application and e-mail.“

First up, , meet Angel!  This lovely lady would love to be your new best friend.  Here’s her bio from HSFC:

“Her name is perfect for her. Angel really is an Angel! She’s so sweet and loving and the mom of the year. She came in from a kill shelter with 9 puppies and gave them every second of her attention. She knows it’s time to let them go, and she’s excited about having a real home of her own. She’s a small Shepherd mixed with Husky and black and tan in color. She’s very gentle and loves to have attention. She’s only 2 yrs old and has no puppy habits other than loving everyone. Come and make Angel’s Christmas wish come true, by giving her a forever home.

“This is Chopper. He is a 6 year old neutered, Rottweiler (born 06/27/06) with the most beautiful face in the world! He is a very sweet, loving boy that, unfortunately, doesn’t love being around small children. My husband and I have had him since he was a puppy and he has been growling at our 2 year old daughter. Rather than keeping him away from her, we would prefer to find him a loving home where he would get all of the attention he deserves. He plays wonderfully with other dogs, has never showed any aggression towards other dogs and actually he tends to be the submissive dog when playing in groups. He loves to take walks, run and swim!!! He is a fluffy teddy bear that just wants to snuggle up to everyone!!!“

True to his breed, he’s an active boy. Chew Chew has come to AFH in the hopes of finding a family that will give him the attention, exercise and training that his breed requires in order to be healthy and happy. He’s a very smart little boy and is already learning a lot in his new foster home. He now knows to sit/down for a treat.

Adorable adoptables in northern Virginia: Desi & Ringo

Posted on by

Every week, I’ll be featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups.  (I usually post this feature on Sunday, but a combination of holiday parties and a stomach bug resulted in a delay this time around.)  This week, I’m sharing adorable adoptables from the Humane Society of Fairfax County (HSFC) and A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (A Forever Home).  Ready to meet this week’s featured pups, Desi and Ringo? Here we go…

First up, meet Desi!  This cute Chihuahua is approximately 7 years old.   Here’s his bio from A Forever Home:

“Hello! My name is Desi and I am a purebred Chihuahua and
weigh only 7 pounds. I was rescued from a place called a puppy mill. I lived in
a cage 24/7. I received little to no socialization so I need a lot of patience to understand that people are okay. I just learned what toys are and I LOVE to
play with my foster brothers and sisters. My foster mom and her dogs are
teaching me what it is like to be a family dog.

In time I am sure I will
overcome my fear of people and the outdoors, but I am going to need a family to
show me lots of patience. I will need a family to continue my socialization, to
teach me that I do not need to be so fearful with strangers. I am going to need
someone to keep me on a schedule so that I know what to expect and help me get
house trained and crate trained. I am looking for a family with older or no
children, as the little kids are very noisy and intimidating for a nervous guy
like me. I’m hoping my family will have another small dog as they could help
show me the ropes.

Can you be that family, to help me learn what it is like to
be free and live without always being in fear? It may take me time, but I
promise once I learn to trust you I will be able to return your love ten fold.“

Up next, meet Ringo!  This handsome pup is a Husky mix looking for a home.  Here’s his bio from HSFC:

“Ringo is a star for sure! This beautiful boy is only a year
old and already a favorite of our farm.

He’s very sweet, loves to play, is
wonderful with other dogs and has personality plus. His longhair coat is tan
and white and he knows he’s handsome.

Come and meet Ringo and make him the star
of your home.

Attributes: SUPERSTAR!”

“Princess is a sweet girl. She is housebroken, polite, good with
children, other dogs and cats, and has an endearing disposition. When
you give her any attention she looks at you with her big brown eyes and
melts into a puddle at your feet. Princess needs a home without small
children.”

“This adorable little girl came to us with just days to
go until she gave birth. Now that her 3 pups are ready for their forever
homes, it’s time for Buttercup to find hers.

She is a total lovebug,
who is great with people of all ages. She’s a happy girl, with little
short legs and big floppy ears. Her tan and black coat is short and she
is only 1 and 1/2 yrs. old. She’s great with other dogs but loves people
first. Come and give Buttercup a chance to show you what a great girl
she is and how complete she would make your home.

I like big mutts and I cannot lie…

Posted on by
11

First off, happy National Mutt Day!  I’d like to dedicate today’s post to all of the awesome mutts out there, including my own.  (Considering adopting your own mutt? Check out a really cool way to announce it and help other shelter pets, courtesy of Bocci’s Beefs.)

Now, back to your regularly scheduled linkage:

  1. Your punny pet name: Johann Sebastian Bark. (Also, this week’s award for awesome punnage goes to… Goatzart.)
  2. It seems that one local law school has taken a cue from the extremely awesome TV show Community – George Mason University has enlisted some cuddly puppies from a local rescue group to help law students relax during exams.  (Perhaps they got the idea from Yale, but in my mind the administrators are just big Community fans.)
  3. Speaking of TV, I really enjoy that the worried dog from that insurance commercial is starring in a happier commercial.
  4. So, has anyone seen the new Muppets movie yet? I really want to see it this weekend. After all, I can’t wait to see the next stage in Ms. Piggy’s style evolution.
  5. This next video has the perfect soundtrack… and it made me giggle, alot (typo intentional).
  6. I think we can all agree that dogs are cute. (If not, how did you end up reading this blog? Go watch this video and then come back.)  Today, let’s also appreciate some cute from off the beaten path.
  7. Um… on a related note, hedgehog bathtime is awesome.

I think this week’s video really ties it all together…

(via Paw Nation)

You know, I had to give Bella a bath last week in preparation for her holiday photo shoot.  Why couldn’t she be into it like that guy?

I’ve been battling a sinus infection this week – however, new research shows that the doctor should prescribe a glass of wine and a bubble bath.  Now that’s medicine I can get behind.  (See how it all relates? My mind works in odd ways.)

Don’t forget – if you have any questions that you’d like to ask a professional pet photographer who also photographs shelter pets, send them my way.  I hope to have some answers for you in the near future.

Have a great weekend!
