My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit: Caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures.

Meet Margarita! Margarita is about 3 years old and weighs about 15 lbs. We think she is a Chihuahua Mix (just a guess). Margarita came to us from a hoarding situation where she was living in filth along with 40 other dogs. Margarita is very shy and unsure of life in her foster home right now, but she is getting better slowly. Margarita is doing well walking on leash and learning what is means to be a companion to her foster family. Margarita is working on house training and right now she enjoys just chilling in her dog bed in a puppy pen. Margarita is great with other dogs, but she is not a playmate. Margarita is used to being around dogs and will require another dog in her forever home as a companion. As of right now, Margarita would do best in a home that is calm and quiet all adult home. She will require a consistent schedule so will need a home where someone is around a good portion of the day. Margarita is spayed, she is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped.

***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from Canine and Kitties Rescue***

The adoption fee for this dog is $375.00, which helps with the cost of routine vet care.

***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.***

Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal.

Our Adoption Events are scheduled on a monthly basis depending on where most of the dogs are fostered at that time. We plan to hold 6-8 events per year.

More about this rescue

Canines & Kitties Rescue is an animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing homeless, neglected, and abandoned dogs, puppies, cats and kittens at risk of euthanasia. Our mission is to rescue animals from local and out of state open-admission, high-intake shelters. Our volunteers are experienced in animal care, proper placement and provide assistance to our animals throughout the foster journey, adoption process and beyond. All animals are cared for in our network of volunteer foster homes.

Our volunteer rescuers work with local veterinarians, foster homes, and trainers to provide foster based homes, medical care and training for our animals until she/he is placed in a loving, carefully screened new home. We are dedicated to helping dogs and cats of all breeds and ages including the older, sick, and injured animals as well as the readily adoptable. We have a special spot in our hearts for pregnant unwanted animals and strive to find them a safe foster home to birth and raise their young. We are advocates for spay and neuter and that each animal we rescue will be spayed and neutered at an appropriate age.

Canines & Kitties Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are an exclusively 100% volunteer based, foster-based rescue with our foster network spanning Northern VA, MD, and DC.
