Last week, I told you about a great event happening today – Bloggers Unite for Dog Rescue. So, let’s get to uniting, shall we?
I’m always impressed with those who are dedicated to animal rescue. Local dog rescue organizations count on volunteers who help by fostering dogs in their own homes while they search for permanent placement, taking dogs to adoption events, fundraising to cover medical and boarding costs, and so much more
Many rescue groups do not have the resources to promoting their efforts on a large scale. As such, bloggers can make a big difference by spreading the word to give these unsung heroes and homeless dogs a voice.
I’ve been a bit remiss in sharing adorable adoptables lately, so I thought I would remedy that today. I’ve chosen three pups from three local rescue groups that are near and dear to my heart: Homeless Animals Rescue Team (HART), Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA), and City Dogs Rescue (CDR).
Why these three? Well, HART is the rescue group where I found my beloved Bella. FOHA is the group I volunteer with right now (attending adoption events and helping with the Twitter account) and where the boys are from. CDR is a great group I discovered quite recently – I’ve been working with them as a volunteer blogger.
(Want to know how you can participate in this event? Among other things, you can blog for dog rescue, adopt a companion, spread the word about animal rescue, or even donate to or volunteer with a local rescue organization. Head over to Be the Change for Animals to find out more about today’s event and to read more from other bloggers participating today.)
And now, today’s adorable adoptables…
You may remember when I shared a great post from Oh, Corbin – “You call me a Pit Bull like it’s a bad thing.” Using that post as inspiration, Corbin has organized a special event today – Blogville Pitty Post Day! The mission is simple – share a positive post about Pit Bulls.
The timing couldn’t be better for me, actually. This weekend, I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with a fantastic Pit Bull in need of a home, and I’m delighted to introduce her to you today. Continue reading

This week, I have a special edition of my Adorable Adoptables feature for you. In the month of May, Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) in northern Virginia has been running a “Back in Black” promotion to showcase black cats and dogs looking for a home. The promotion is part of the Best Friends Animal Society’s Back in Black 2 national adoption event.
Oreo from FOHA
We’ve talked about black pets on the blog before as part of Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week. My motto is “appreciate, don’t discriminate” – it’s crazy that black pets have a tougher time getting adopted, considering how awesome they are. I mean, how could anyone find the sweet faces accompanying this post anything less than fantastic?
Gulliver from FOHA
So, check out some campaign info from FOHA. Then swing by the FOHA Twitter account and Facebook page, where they’ve been sharing black pets all month! There’s even a special Black Cat Ball section on the FOHA website. It’s a pretty great campaign, and there are lots of cute pets up for adoption, including the ones featured in this post – Timber, Oreo, and Gulliver. Finally, don’t forget to spread the word about these sometimes overlooked (and amazingly awesome) adoptables!
Bella loves bunnies… I think. She did have a bunny cousin, and she tried to lick him during their first meeting. However, she tried to lick a goose once too, so who knows what’s going on in that puppy brain of hers.
Anyway, all that is a prelude to some very special adoptables. Today, I’m participating in the Second Annual Rabbit Adoptathon, founded by the All Things Dog Blog. This year, the hop (wordplay!) is co-hosted by afFURmation and Bunny’s Blog. (We participated last year too – I told you that Bella loves her bunnies.)

First up, allow me to introduce you to Oreo II. (If you’re wondering – yes, I did choose him because of the Roman numerals. I’m a nerd that way.) Oreo II is an adoptable American rabbit from the Humane Society of Fairfax County (HSFC). This sweet little guy is dog friendly (and cute as a button).

Up next, meet Bella. (Good name, right?) This little lady is a Dutch/Cinnamon mix available from Friends of Rabbits in Centreville, Virginia. She’s sweet, calm and friendly. On top of that, she’s downright gorgeous!
If you have room in your home (and your heart) for one of these beautiful bunnies, contact HSFC or Friends of Rabbits. If you know someone else who might be interested, please share this post. Let’s find some homes for Oreo II and Bella!

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). Ready to meet this week’s pups, Bear & Piper? Here we go…
First up, meet Bear! This handsome guy is a Lab mix and he is approximately six years old. Here’s his bio from FOHA:
“Bear is a wonderful blind black lab mix. He needs a family that will help him learn the lay of the land and keep him safe. He has a lot of love to give and is a very bright fellow.
Bear is in foster care and not at the shelter, so please ask to meet him.”
Do you have the perfect home for this lovely Lab?
Up next, meet Piper! This Silkie/Yorkie mix is approximately five years old. Here’s his bio from FOHA:
“Hi, my name is Piper and I am a cute Silkie Terrier that was picked up as a stray and taken to a county pound. For the life of me (literally almost) I can’t figure out how that happened. Wasn’t my family out looking for me? Luckily FOHA came to my rescue. I am still trying to adjust to not being in a home so I am shy with strangers. But I am great with other dogs and I can be bribed with some cheese. I am so cute, I know you will want to meet me. Just please go slow and give me time to get to know you. Trust me, once I know that I can trust you, it will all be worth the wait. I am quite the snuggler with my friends! Might that be you?”
If you’re interested in adopting Bear or Piper, visit the FOHA website for more information, or email doginfo@foha.org. To view the other pets available for adoption at FOHA, click here.

stop by and meet some of them!)

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). Ready to meet this week’s pups, Brenda & Smilin’ Sally? Here we go…
First up, meet Brenda! This lovely lady is a Border Collie mix and she is approximately one year old. Here’s her bio from FOHA:
“I’m a beauty queen named Brenda! I’m great with other dogs, I love riding in the car, and I absolutely adore being brushed! I’m great at playing fetch and will hurry and bring the ball back to you so you can throw it again. Ooh, I do love that game! I’m very smart and attentive and I’ll tell you a little secret. I’ll pretend like I don’t know how to sit, but just pull those treats out of your pocket and unleash the magic! I’m very alert and attentive, always curious about my surroundings to make sure there’s no fun being had without me. I’m a fun loving, super friendly girl who will fill your home and your heart with joy.”
Do you have the perfect home for this gorgeous gal?
Up next, meet Smilin’ Sally! This happy Hound mix is approximately four years old. Here’s her bio from FOHA:
“You won’t find a ‘funner’ dog – this gal is awesome – inside and out! Sally is a gentle girl who is looking for a new home. She always seems to be wearing this fantastic grin!! She is a calm, laid back, couch potato – foot warmer, not a barker. DOG FRIENDLY. Staff favorite.”
I took Smilin’ Sally to an adoption event today, and she is a happy, friendly gal. Could she be the pup for you?

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). Ready to meet this week’s pups, Aaron & Sissy? Here we go…
First up, meet Aaron! This handsome Black Lab mix is one special guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him at an adoption event yesterday, and he’s an absolute sweetheart. Here’s his bio from FOHA:
“Hi! Are you looking for a very special dog? The kind of dog that brings bunches of love and fun to your home? Well it’s your lucky day! I’m Aaron and I have to say I’m pretty good looking! I like hugs and I like to play. I like to play so much that I get really excited and you need to tell me when I need to calm down, but no worry, I’ll listen to you. Maybe you can take me to some doggie classes. I always wonder what all the fuss is about.
I also like to just stay by your side while you pet my beautiful fur and enjoy life with you. Come take a look for yourself, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
For more pictures of Aaron, please click here.”
Do you have the perfect home for this happy guy?
Up next, meet Sissy! This lovely lady is also a Lab mix. Here’s her bio from FOHA:
“Sissy is a very friendly girl. She seems to love other dogs and people. She is very active, though, and would do better around older children. She loves to chase the ball and run and run. Sissy will do great with an active family.”
I met Sissy at an adoption event yesterday, and she is a happy, friendly gal. Could she be the pup for you?
