I’ll be doing a new feature here on Sundays, featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups.  In particular, I’ll be sharing adorable adoptables from the Humane Society of Fairfax County (HSFC) and A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (A Forever Home).

First up… meet Tabasco!  (Awesome name, right?)  This cutie is a neutered male.  He’s described as a terrier mix and weighs approximately 35 pounds.  Here’s his bio from HSFC’s website:

Next, I’d like to introduce you to an adorable guy named Wallie.  Check out that face – a person would be lucky to have that smile greeting them every morning.  Here’s his bio from A Forever Home:

“Okay, let’s get the vital stats out of the way and then I can tell you
all about my friend Wallie. Wallie is a male poodle mix (we think
Bichon) of approximately 7 years of age. He weighs 19 pounds (could stand to lose a few – sorry Wallie, but it’s true) and is neutered and
potty trained. How did Wallie end up with A Forever Home animal rescue?
Well, certainly through no fault of his own. He was badly neglected by
his previous owners and when they decided they didn’t want to care for
him any longer (not that they did much of that to begin with), they
threw Wallie out of their car window at an animal shelter. The shelter
contacted AFH to come and rescue Wallie and the rest, as they say, is
history.

Since then, Wallie has been lovingly cared for in a foster home
as he waits to find his new family. I had the pleasure of meeting
Wallie last week. Wallie is a very sweet fella. You should know that due
to Wallie’s lack of attention in his past, he has developed cataracts
and his vision has been affected. He’s like a furry little Mr. Magoo.
That does not stop him from enjoying life and it certainly does not keep
him from being a loving affectionate guy. Oh, and don’t pass Wallie by
because of his age. Some dogs at age 7 are seniors, but poodles like to
keep us company for a range of 15 to 18 years. Wallie deserves a great
home with people who will treat him like part of the family. I promise
you he will give as good as he gets. If you would like to set up a
meeting with Wallie, please have your people contact his people at A
Forever Home.”

If you’d like to have your people contact Wallie’s people, 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 pups?  Then contact HSFC 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 these great pups!
