Story
Meet Dora: Part explorer, part couch potato!Dora is an approximately 5 year old terrier mix who enjoys running around in the yard - *almost* as much as she enjoys running into your arms and falling asleep. She can go from zoomies to couch-rot in 30 seconds flat, and is therefore looking for a home as well-rounded as she is! Dora enjoys playing with toys and other pups, but don’t let her playful demeanor fool you - she’s on 24/7 squirrel patrol. Dora is crate-trained, housebroken, good with other dogs, and will sing for her supper (aka, barks at mealtime). Due to her terrier tendency to chase critters, her adopter must have a strongly reinforced, escape proof fenced yard. Dora is not only an Explorer, but a great student who will do well with a family that wants to continue learning and training with her. If you’re ready to explore bringing this adventurous couch potato home, please fill out an adoption application at this website – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application – and choose Dora! Her adoption fee is $300, and AARF`s adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like her for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on age-appropriate immunizations against rabies and DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus). They’ve been tested for heartworm and other tick borne diseases (4DX), and they’ve started our heartworm and flea preventive medications. Some of them have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of them entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!

These pups are in Alexandria, Virginia too!

Story
Right here waiting! My name is Little Girl, and I'm a sweet young girl with a steel gray coat and expressive eyes. I am a loving little dog who likes to stay close to my person. I am looking for an adult home where I can be your one and only so I can be the center of your attention. I can be a little timid when meeting new people. I warm with a soft approach and a gentle voice, but it can take a little bit. It has been reported by my previous owner that I have excellent house manners and can be a real sweetheart. I would benefit from taking it slow and learning new things at a comfortable pace. So if you think we can be a match, come on down to the shelter so we can meet. I will be waiting!

Story
Ready to Make a New Friend! My name is Royal, I'm an adorable girl who has a smile that's sure to melt your heart. I have a very calm and gentle nature that makes me a pleasure to be around. I also enjoy active time, walk great on leash and would love to be your walking partner. I'd happily accompany you on all your outdoor activities. I am a very patient girl who sits nicely when it's time to get harnessed. Additionally, I do a nice sit on cue while waiting for treats. And because I am so treat motivated, any training you may want to do should go smoothly. I also enjoy chill time. I'm happiest when being pet and really like snuggling up against my favorite people. I guess you could say I am the prefect combination and what could be better than that?! I am going to make someone a very loyal and loving companion. If you think you could be that person, stop by the shelter so we can meet. I can't wait to meet my new best friend! I am available for adoption from my foster home! To learn more about meeting me, email adoptions@alexandriaanimals.org or call 703.746.4774, option 2.

Story
Come out and play! I'm Dash, a curious and spirited boy who is always up for sniffing out new adventures. My playful nature means I'm a big fan of games, especially tug! I can be just a tad timid at first, but once I get to know you, I'm all wagging tails. I'm smart too - I've mastered sit, shake and I’m great at checking in with you. I would benefit from keeping busy with games and chews. I'm eager to learn more and would make the perfect training partner. I am crate trained and always can settle in my crate if you leave the house and at bedtime- and even better with a peanut butter kong. I would trade my life savings for a hot dog, which makes me wonderful when learning new behaviors and tricks, and even better I am clicker trained! I walk beautifully on a leash and want to walk by your side and check in with you along the way. I live to please. I make these adorable little grunts, when you scratch that sweet spot behind my ear. I have the sweetest face and never turndown an opportunity to gaze at you with big puppy dog eyes. I'm super attentive and will always be there to listen to everything you have to share after a long day. I have energy for whatever you want to do, but I also promise to match it with an equal amount of love. I will tell you that I prefer people to other pups and would like to be your one and only. If you're looking for a loyal, playful, and smart companion, then I'm your guy. Adopt me and let's start our adventure together! Dash's new family will receive ongoing support from our Behavior and Training team, a year's supply of free food and a shopping spree courtesy of Pampered Pet (https://pamperedpetboutiquebarkery.com/), a $250 gift card to Sniffspot (for private dog parks where Dash can run https://www.sniffspot.com/), and a standard behavior modification coaching package (valued at $750) with a local dog trainer. His adoption fee has also been waived.
