Nate/Foster is a 1 year old
neutered black lab mix that originally
came into the shelter as a stray but is
now looking for his forever home while
in foster care. He is a very sweet dog
who is still on the shy and timid side
when it comes to new things so his
foster is working with him but he has
made great strides and continues to
improve each day. He does get along with
other dogs and would love to go to a
home that has a younger active dog that
he could play with. It would also be
nice for him to have another dog that he
can learn from. He is crate trained,
just about housetrained, current on
shots, microchipped, and heartworm/lyme
negative. He does already know a few
commands yet his new family will still
have to take him to an obedience class.
Since he is still young and very active
he does need a home with a nice fenced
yard, no children under 16 years, and no
small pets. If Nate sounds like a dog
that you would like to make a part of
your family please contact his foster
mom Meg @
luvthemdogs@yahoo.com Please use
Nate/F as the subject. |

Armani/Foster is a 1 ½ year old
neutered male Great Dane being cared for
in a foster home. He walks easily on the
leash. He is getting along well with the
other dogs in the foster home. He seems
to like people also. His give up sheet
says he likes to chase balls and sticks.
He likes to ride in the car, be brushed
and groomed and was allowed on the
furniture. He slept in the bedroom at
night. He is friendly when meeting
strangers but does back up. He was given
up because of a house fire and the
owners couldn't keep him. If you are
interested in adopting him, contact the
foster mom @
fattylovescake@aol.com for more
information. |

Archie/Foster. This sleek, black
Labrador retriever is being cared for in
a foster home waiting for his forever
home. He's about 11 months old and gets
along with other dogs. Because he is a
very active big boy who still needs
puppy training, he will need to go to a
home with children over the age of 13
years old. If you would like to visit,
please contact his foster family, the
LaMere's @ 301-253-2579/email

Benjamin/Foster's gleaming steel
coat and freckled smile will warm the
hearts of all those he meets....this
beautifully housebroken 6-year old
Labrador mix is a rare treasure
searching for his forever home. His
favorite activities include power
walking (you have never seen a dog get
so excited at the merest glimpse of his
leash....he gets three walks a day and
more whenever we can squeeze in a fourth
walk!) being brushed (he practically
purrs with happiness!) and stretching
out in the sunshine on his cozy blanket.
Benjamin rarely barks (we'd been caring
for him for an entire week before we
heard his voice!) and seems to enjoy the
company of other dogs; he has not been
exposed to cats and has been known to
chase squirrels & bunnies on our walks
so he might be best in a cat-free
environment. He has completely mastered
the "sit" command and (after just one
week of training!) has been known to
hold a "stay" command for a full four
seconds - he is proving every day that
he's one smart dog!
Benjamin will be happiest in a house
without small children; if you're
interested in adopting him and would
like to schedule a visit, please contact
Meg @ 240-426-2313.Photo: Susan Shalowitz

Barbie/Foster is a sweet,
loving and friendly dog. She is
being cared for at the vet
hospital until she finds her
forever home. She is a 4 month
old darling. She is absolutely
precious and looking for a warm
and loving home. She gets along
well with other dogs and loves
to play. For a puppy, we do
require that an adult be home
all day to train and socialize
her so she grows up into a
happy, manageable dog. If you
would like to make her part of
your family, contact Best
Friend's Veterinary Hospital @
301-977-1881. |

Hanna/Foster. She is being cared
for in a foster home until she finds her

weighs 70 pounds. She likes riding in
the car and gets along with other dogs.
If you would like to make this
wonderful, older dog a part of your
family, contact the foster, Lucy @

information.

Jules/Foster is
72 lbs of the best kind if puppy
love a person could hope for!
The 12 month old's sweet nature
shines almost as brightly as her
honey brown eyes; she is
extremely eager to please and
happily receives pets and tummy
rubs from everyone she meets.
This young lady absolutely LOVES
her exercise; she is learning
how walk gracefully on a
leash and will be
happiest with an owner who is
dedicated to walking with
her every day. Jules' ideal
adopter should also be willing
to support her passion for a
great late-evening game of
fetch!
Given her size
and playful nature, she will be
best in a home without young
children. Jules is crate trained
and has been spayed; she is up
to date on all of her shots and
in good health.
We are teaching the her the
basic commands, but her new
owner should plan to take her
through a training program as
well so both the adopter and
Jules will understand how to
communicate effectively with
each other. But don't worry -
she's worth it! Spend just
a few moments with this perfect
lab/shepherd/ mastiff mix and
your heart will melt....call to
schedule a visit with Jules
now!
Please contact Meg @
240-426-2313.
