Currently Living at: DC area foster home. Notes from dog walker: Duque did great on his walk today. He is super sweet and was super happy to be outside. He was pretty good on the leash, with some pulling when he got excited about something, and we didn’t encounter other dogs. He seemed a little hesitant around bicycles and some guys that were doing roadwork along Four Mile Run. He did spend some of the time walking right next to me but was definitely more interested in smelling every blade of grass! Dapper Duque here. Gosh I am such a handsome and fun loving boy.

Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. XXX is scheduled to have treatment as soon as possible so the recovery process can begin. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process.

I'm not sure how I ended up the in the shelter, but I am looking for put that part of my life behind me and start over fresh with you!

FULTON NEEDS A FOSTER OR A FOREVER HOME !!!! Name: Fulton Best Guess for Breed: shepherd mix Best Guess for Age: 1.5 years (as of 1/21/19) Sex: Male Approximate Weight: 40 lbs Gets along with: Dogs Currently Living at: DC area boarding Special Adoption Considerations: Fulton passed a shelter cat test, but should proceed with caution for cats in the home -- if you'd like us to do an in home cat test let us know! Fulton is looking for: A family that is ready to give him the home he deserves, with LOTS of exercise and training to keep him active and engaged. Fulton is a young dog with a lot of energy. He will need multiple walks a day, daily trips to the dog park, and even some time at daycare to run and play with friends to his heart's content! He is very smart and eager to learn -- he just needs someone who wants to put in the time and provide him with consistency and structure. Fulton has done well with other dogs and has even spent some time around kids and was a total gentleman! He will need a home that is committed to exercise, socialization, and obedience training to keep up his great doggy manners and bond appropriately with his new family. Like most shelter dogs, he may need a refresher on housetraining. He is likely crate trained. What My Foster Says About Me: "Fulton is such a sweet boy. He does great with all dogs - we have 12lb chihuahua mix and they are buds. I brought him over to my neighbors yesterday and he did great with their two year old so he’s definitely kid approved! Great on the leash but still figuring out peeing outside. Just such a sweet boy. Loves to just pop up on the couch with me and take a snooze - he’s just so chill and happy but has great energy. I brought him to the dog park today and he was a champ. Very polite and no sign of aggression at all. Cannot say enough good things about this boy."

Name: Binky Best Guess for Breed: Black Lab Mix Best Guess for Age: 5 months as of 3/20 SEX: male Approximate Weight: 30 lbs as of 3/20 Gets Along With: Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training. Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special Adoption Considerations: Puppies under 7 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy. I’m Looking For: A family to provide long walks and daily trips to the dog park when old enough. I can't wait to go to obedience school to learn all the best manners and then curl up with you on the couch after a long day! As a lab mix, I will probably have a lot of energy so I need an active family! What My Foster Says About Me: Coming Soon! Puppy Vetting Requirements: Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog. Your new puppy will need to work on their house-training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!

Posted Breed: Basset Hound / Golden Retriever / Mixed. Name: Savannah (fka Baby Girl) Breed: Lab/Bassett mix "Bassador" Approximate Age: 11 years Approximate Weight: 38 lbs but losing weight Personality: friendly and calm Observations with Dogs: good Observations with Cats: good Observations with Kids: good with older gentle children Currently Living at: DC area foster home NEW ARRIVAL!!!! NEW ARRIVAL!!!! NEW ARRIVAL!!!! NEW ARRIVAL!!!! This Golden Girl is a low rider mix who is perfectly sized for just about any home. She's a senior who recently lost her person but is looking for love again. Savannah is very laid back, but has plenty of spunk to keep up with you on walks around the neighborhood. Savannah loves to be with her people and her tail flies like a flag when she is walking around with you. She learned to walk on leash in about a day, so this old dog can learn new tricks. She is smart and enthusiastic especially when treats are involved. In spite of her perma-pup looks, she is 11 years young, and as such, she's very content to snuggle on the couch and warm your lap. She weighs ~38 lbs (overweight) and seems to be in great health for her age. She'd do well in a calm household with other calm animals (dogs or cats!). Like most shelter dogs, Savannah may need a refresher on housetraining and crate training. We ask all of DC PAWS’ fosters to work on both house and crate training with their foster dog. The adoption fee for this dog is $200. If you are interested in adopting Savannah, please submit an adoption application at dcpawsrescue/adoption-info/adoption-application-dogs/DC PAWS Rescue does our best to provide accurate and complete information about our adoptable animals. Please note that we cannot make any guarantees about age or breed; we rely upon our rescue partners and their veterinarians to make those assessments. We also cannot make any guarantees about housebreaking and animal temperament, as animals can behave differently through transition and in different environments. Our shelter partners provide a basic vet screening for each animal we rescue, which includes necessary vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and spay/neuter (unless the animal is too young or otherwise deemed by the vet to not be a good candidate for surgery). Please note that this is not a comprehensive medical exam and as such, may not identify any and all medical issues, though our goal is to flag any obvious health issues through the basic vet screening. We share all medical records with adopters and flag any known issues prior to adoption finalization.

We rescue from rural areas in the south, as well as local DC area shelters, such as Prince Georges County, MD and Wicomico County, MD.
