Here's what the humans have to say about me:
male, 5 years, 49.5 lbs
Personality: Energetic, Playful, Snuggly, and Affectionate.
Twix is here to double the fun and sweetness in your life! This affectionate pupper loves to be close to his people, following you from room to room, or snuggling up to you on the couch, Twix is excited to spend precious time together. His favorite pastime is playing tug, and he never goes anywhere without his trusty emotional support marrow bone. Twix is a quick learner and already knows hand signals and words for "sit" and "down." He's just a whisker away from mastering "paw" and is eager for more detailed training to refine his skills.
Twix's youthful energy makes him seem much younger than his five years. He gets extra happy around children, always wagging his tail and eager to join in the fun. While he can get a bit barky on walks, especially at some people and dogs, this enthusiastic fellow just needs a bit of patience to curb his excitement. He's also very curious about cats, squirrels, and birds, often pawing playfully at his foster's cat. However, his playfulness can sometimes be a bit much for feline friends, so a home without cats or with a very confident cat might be best.
Though Twix is gaining the confidence to be left home alone, he's making great strides in house training, with no accidents in the past week. He happily goes into his crate for meals and water, though he prefers not to stay in there for long. With his boundless energy, a playmate or frequent play sessions would be ideal. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will keep you smiling, Twix is your match! Apply today to meet him.
If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon.

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model).
Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us.
Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP,Lepto and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis.
Most cats and dogs will have a house-training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained.

Additional adoption info
1. Application: Interested adopters should fill out an application for the cat(s) or dog(s) you are interested in. Only one application is required, and it applies for all cats or dogs listed on your application. If you are interested in adopting both a cat and a dog, you must complete an application for each type of animal.
Important Note Regarding Timing: We screen all applications to find what we believe will be the best environment for each particular cat or dog. If we believe that we currently have a potential match for you, our typical response time is within a week. If you do not receive a response within two weeks, please assume that we have not been able to find a good match. Please do not interpret a lack of response as a belief by City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties that you would not be able to provide a loving home for a cat or dog.
2. Applications Counselor: Approved Applicants will be assigned a volunteer applications counselor, who will review the application and have a brief conversation with each applicant to determine his/her needs and preferences.
3. Reference Checks: If applicable, CDR&CK will call the applicant’s veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and well cared for. CDR&CK will also call personal references listed on the application.
4. Renters/Condo Owners: For renters, CDR&CK will check with an applicant's landlord to ensure that cats and/or dogs are permitted and that the cat or dog of interest wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions. We also review condo association rules regarding pets.
Home Visit: CDR&CK will visit each applicant’s home to see the environment where the cat or dog will live and answer any questions the applicant might have.
5. Adoption Contract: If the applicant is approved for adoption and decides to adopt the cat or dog, CDR&CK and the prospective adopter will enter into an adoption contract.
