Calling all DC/northern Virginia dogs: #Barktoberfest is this Saturday!
Are you a dog? Do you have a dog? Do you like dogs? How about cats? Do you live in the DC/northern Virginia area? Do you enjoy seeing dogs in costume? Do you like fun? If your answer to any of those questions is yes, then I’ve got an event for you…
(As an aside, if your answer to my first question is yes… I’m intrigued. How did you end up on my website? Obviously, you have learned to use a computer, so maybe you can also write emails? If so, let’s chat. I have much to ask you, dog genius.)
Anyway… if you’re in the DC/northern Virginia area, get out your calendar and pencil in plans for Saturday. Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) is hosting its annual fall festival – Barktoberfest – this Saturday, September 28! Join FOHA at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds in Leesburg from 10am to 5pm.

I’m back with more adorable adoptables from Petfinder! Today, I’m sharing four fantastic adoptables who are ready for some football. (They’re all in the northern Virginia area, so I guess they’ll be cheering for the Ravens this weekend.)

Three cheers for Barktoberfest!
As you may remember, I adopted Tavish from a local rescue group called Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA). It just so happens that FOHA is hosting a big event on September 29 (one week from today), so I wanted to tell you about it. It’s called Barktoberfest: A Purrfect Pet Celebration, and it’s going to be lots of fun. If you’re in the DC or northern Virginia area, consider stopping by!
(Bonus plug: I help with the FOHA Twitter account, and I’ll be live-tweeting from the event. What are you waiting for? Go follow!)
Tavish says... support FOHA!
In addition to food, vendors, and the usual festival-type stuff, there are a ton of great events planned, including:
- The Mutt Strut – A one-mile walk (with or without a dog) to raise money for FOHA’s dogs and cats. You can register for the Strut here. If you would rather relax that morning, you can support one of the other walkers or teams that have signed up.
- Raffles and a silent auction – There are tons of awesome items available!
- Music and entertainment, including a pet costume contest, an agility demonstration, and an owner/dog lookalike contest!
Even better, oodles of adoptable FOHA dogs and cats will be at the event. Come out and meet them!

Adorable “less adoptable” dogs in DC/northern Virginia: Lily & Matt
As you know, I often feature adoptable pets from local rescue groups. Today, I’m participating in Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week (through September 23), when Petfinder and others raise awareness about the many deserving pets who may be overlooked by potential adopters.
So, this time I’m sharing a few dogs that would fall into that so-called “less adoptable” category. (Or, as I like to call it, the Super Awesome category.) Today’s adorable adoptables are from Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) and City Dogs Rescue (CDR). Ready to meet this week’s featured pups, Matt and Lily? Here we go…
