Every Sunday I’ll be 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).
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. Let’s get to it!
First up, meet Belle the Beagle! This lovely Beagle/Dachshund mix is approximately 11 years old. (She looks a bit like my Bella, don’t you think? With that resemblance, she’s obviously 100% adorable.) Here’s her bio from A Forever Home:
“Belle is a sweet dog in search of friendship, love and comfort. She
tends to enjoy being a super loyal friend to mainly one person and
doesn’t want to have you out of her sight. Belle warms up quickly to
women and those who are soft spoken. Hanging out in the yard, going for
car rides, or just hanging around the house are all things Belle has a
good time doing if she is in your company. She would do well as an only
dog or as a part of a dog pack. Belle enjoys the company of her many
foster dog friends, but also craves to be the center of her loyal
friend’s attention. Belle is fully housetrained and crate trained. She
is a very smart lady dog and can do several fun tricks, including ‘What
up dog?’ (fancy shake), ‘Roll Over’, and even balance a treat on her
nose. If you think you could be Belle’s best friend and provide a
loving, calm home for Belle please send us an email and come meet her.”
If you want to be Belle’s best friend, 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!)
Next up, meet Buddy the Basset Hound! (Apparently I’m all about the alliteration today.) Isn’t he handsome? Here’s his bio from HSFC:
this adorable purebred Basset Hound. He is such a sweet boy. At 8 yrs.
he still has lots of spunk and is always ready and willing to go for
long walks whenever you are. He’s great with other dogs and loves people
of all ages. He’s housebroken, loves attention, and will be a really
good companion for someone who doesn’t want to play fetch all day and
night. Give Buddy a chance to show you he can be the best pal you’ve
ever had.
Attributes: Best Friend you’ll ever have!”

Ok. Is it me or does Belle look a lot like Bella? Both dogs are adorable and I happen to love senior pets. I hope this added attention helps them to find their forever homes.
Belle looks so much like Bella, I agree. Belle just has more black on her nose and a little more white on her back. They could be sisters!
Yayyy we love senior pets and they are so grateful and well-mannered (most of the time) đ
Belle is adorable (like Bella!) and I love that her shake is called "What up Dog?" And Buddy is so handsome and looks like a lot of fun! Hope these "kids" find their forever homes very soon!

Everyone should adopt a dog that's already housebroken! That part of puppyhood is overrated!
Hi Y'all,
Maybe Belle and Bella are distantly related…
My Human says she is too old to want to get up all night with a puppy…that's why I've got my happy home. đ
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Stacy – "Most of the time" being the key phrase!
Chandra – I loved the "what up dog" part too. đ
Life Student – So true! I don't enjoy that part at all.
BrownDog – Very good point! đ
