Hi! Im Chicago, a 1-year-old hound with lots of love and energy to share. Im about 34 lbs, and Im up to date on all my vaccinations, dewormed, and heartworm negative! I had a tough time recentlyI was adopted, but I lost my favorite person, and sadly, no one else in the family could keep me. Even though that was hard, Im still my cheerful, playful self! I absolutely love making new friends and spreading joy wherever I go. Im smart and love learning new tricks, which makes training fun for both of us! I can be a little nervous at first, but once I get used to my people and surroundings, I'm very sweet. I'm also very curious - I love to sniff! If you're looking for a companion who will fill your days with laughter and love, I might just be the perfect fit. The nice folks at RDR will update my profile when they learn more about me. I cannot wait to find a forever home where I can share all the love I've got to give. Looking to fill your home with love, cuddles, and playful energy? Puppies make every day brighter, and slightly older ones (612 months) are the perfect balance! At this sweet age, you skip the hardest parts of puppyhoodlike potty training, teething, and wild energy burstswhile still getting a young, adaptable dog to shape into a lifelong companion.

Additional adoption info
Adoption area is Washington, D.C area, including Northern Virginia and Maryland. All adoptions require a completed adoption application. Our adoption coordinators will contact you soon after reviewing the application. Our adoption fee is $450 to help off set the costs of rescuing dogs in need. All dogs go to their new homes spayed or neutered, up to date on all shots, wormed (although a 2nd worming may be required), started on heart worm and flea and tick preventative and sometimes microchipped.
Although we try to be as accurate as possible, Rural Dog Rescue cannot guarantee the breed or full-grown adult size of any of the dogs or puppies in its care. Because many of these dogs were found as strays or are the result of irresponsible, unplanned breeding, we do not know the dog's exact background and can only list breed and size by our best educated guess. If exact breed and size are important to you, please consider adopting a dog from a specific breed rescue. We want our dogs to be adopted by people who will love and care for them forever for who they are - no matter what breed and size they turn out to be!
