Story
male, 2 years old, 51.5 lbs Personality: Playful, eager-to-please, easygoing, smart and gentle. Champ is a gentle and friendly dog who loves spending time with his humans, whether it's going for a walk, sunbathing in the yard, or snuggling on the sofa. He has a calm, easygoing nature and gets along well with other dogs. Champ's gentle spirit shines through in his quiet demeanor; he rarely barks and is generally unfazed by new surroundings or noises. Champ is a fast learner who is eager to please, making him a great match for someone looking to build a strong bond. He's already crate-trained and does well on a leash, making walks a breeze. Champ is making strides on his house training. He would love a home where he can enjoy a few walks, some playtime, and lots of love. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate, and easygoing companion, Champ would be a perfect addition to your family! 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.

Learn more, see our list of dogs needing foster, and apply, https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/foster-a-city-dog.html 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.

To learn more about our upcoming events and to see which event they will be attending, please visit our event page at https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/ (*please note that the specific event pages are typically updated on Fridays with information on which dogs will be attending which events* Piper is quite the snuggler and is content curled up in your lap for naps or pets. She's a little shy sometimes and just needs some positive reinforcement sometimes to get her out of her shell. She will be happy for you to show her the world is a safe place to play and meet new doggy friends, so take her on walks and show her how to have fun! She's eager to play and meet other doggy friends but is a little unsure about how to make the first move. Help introduce her slowly to other doggy pals, and she will be forever grateful! Curious, cautious, and full of compassion. Piper is ready to explore the world by your side.

If you are interested in adopting this dog,  please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generi.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.Dog's Name:   Claire  (CLA0224CHEFD)Estimated Breed:   Border Collie/Corgi/Boxer MIXApproximate Age:   2-3 yearsApproximate Weight:   35 lbs  Currently Living at:   FosterAdoption Fee:   $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Hi I'm Claire, and I've been lucky enough to land in a great foster home with a very fun older doggie brother! Here's what my foster mom says about me: Claire is one active bundle of cuteness. She gets along well with Toasty (foster's dog) and would do best in a home with another similar sized ACTIVE dog. She is very nose active and loves to sniff around. She would do well with someone who wanted to play some scent games with her. She would also do really well at agility. She has been using my furniture for Parkour practice! She is very food motivated (hence the few extra pounds around the middle). She knows sit, and tends to sit if she thinks food might be around. She also does well in a crate for a few hours. You have to be aware though, that she comes out at full speed and spinning. Claire loves stuffed animals, especially the squeaky kind. She will even bring some to you so you can toss them for her. She also tries to taunt Toasty with them, which he does in return to her. She will steal treats from him, so any already existing dogs would need to be okay with a bratty sister. No accidents so far with the doggie door and back yard being available. All pottying has happened outside. It took her a few hours to understand the dog door. I now have it propped partially open and she can get out and in on her own. Even with it closed she can get back in because she scratches at the door and the dog door opens, voila.Claire acts a lot like a corgi mixed with a boxer. She's constantly batting at things with her front paws. She has that Corgi shape to her body and ears. That also means that she needs to go to a family that's willing to work with her on her batting at people and jumping on people tendencies (older children or children used to exuberant play). She likes to climb up on the chair with me and then crawl around on me, including my back and shoulders, until she finds a spot she likes. A lot like a cat! Once she finds a spot where she can cuddle and get petted she is the happiest pup. She had no problem feeling comfortable quickly.  Claire is a super sweet and loving dog - just the right size and has a great personality! Put in your application today, and make sweet Claire part of your family! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.       Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.

Story
Zuli is a 4 year old pure bred Australian Shepherd. He is very sweet and loving, always licking everyone to show affection, always up for a walk, and always wanting to be petted. He also is incredibly food oriented and smart, and we have done some training with him. However, he is also very anxious and afraid. We got him because he bit his previous owner (a relative of mine). We would keep him but we have a baby and there have been enough minor incidents (no further biting, though, I can explain more if we move further in this process) that I am not comfortable with him being around our baby when he is a few years older and running around our home full of energy or having friends over that Zuli is not familiar with. He needs an experienced dog owner who understands how to redirect reactive dogs and is willing to put in the time to exercise him and love him. He will love you 10000x more than you love him and it breaks our hearts to do this, but our son's safety is our priority.

Story
This precious girl came from one of the worst hoarding situations that we have ever dealt with. there were over 100 dogs on the property, none of them spayed or neutered. Finally, the authorities went in and they managed to get ALL of the dogs out of there. Filthy dirty situation, sick puppies, you name it. We choose to take Blossom home to our rescue because her eyes were begging us for love and attention. She was very pregnant and two weeks after arriving, she gave birth to 7 heathy puppies! Every single puppy was different, every singe puppy had a different daddy! We think that Blossom had never been paid any attention to because she was so shy. Once we weaned her babies we took her out of the nursery and into the house where she just blossomed! That's how she got her name! Her puppies have long since been adopted and now it's her turn. We actually did a DNA on her and it came back with 4 different breeds, which we kind of figured from the beginning. Australian Cattle Dog, Labrador Retriever, Pit Bull, Boxer. Yes, she is truly a "Mutt!: She is extremely smart and will do anything for a treat. I want her to have a nice fenced yard with lots of room to run. Cattle dogs are working dogs and they need lots of exercise! She is spayed, crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped and house broken, truly a gem! Ready for immediate transport. ADOPTION FEE $400 PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION!
