Story
I'm in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at vwsmudge@gmail.com.Hello! LittleFoot here. I am a very special dog! The shelter has me listed as Canaan, which is a breed of pariah dog found across the Middle East. You don't see dogs like me here very often!I was found as a stray, so the shelter doesn't know much about my life so far. I am a bit shy (you can probably tell from my worried face), but I have also shown that I can quickly learn to trust people who are kind and patient and who have yummy treats. I would love to go home to a person or family who has these things too! I'd also love to find someone who can take me on a couple of high energy runs or walks a day, hopefully somewhere that I can have fun racing zoomies. I will definitely help you get off the couch and away from those screens!Dogs like me are great family dogs and also have a bit of a guardian dog in them, so once we are best buddies, I'll work hard to keep us all safe. I think investing time and kindness in me will pay off!! Are you up for it?

Or, how about these Canaan Dogs in cities near Washington, District of Columbia

Story
Izzy-at-a-glance: 3 years old, female, spayed, Canaan Dog, 52 lbs., up-to-date on core vaccines, microchipped and heart worm negative. Izzy takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Meet Izzy, a 3-year-old Canaan Dog with a heart of gold! This sweet girl was rescued overseas and is now looking for her forever home as her owners are being relocated overseas again where pets are not allowed. Izzy is a bit shy at first with new people, but with a little patience and love, she will blossom into a very loyal, affectionate and amazing family pet.  Once she trusts her people, Izzy is a belly rub fanatic and will happily flop over for some love and attention. Her fang tooth even makes an appearance when she's feeling especially happy! Izzy is on medication to help with her anxiety around new people, which she takes like a pro.  This beautiful girl loves to play with other dogs and coexists with cats. She would thrive in a quiet or rural environment with experienced and patient owners. She enjoys spending time outdoors, running around with her furry friends at daycare, and lounging in the sun with a bone in tow. Izzy's ideal day includes plenty of playtime followed by cuddles by the fireplace with her family. She is house-trained, crate trained, and ready to find a loving home where she can continue to grow and thrive. If you have the time, patience, and love to give to Izzy, she will reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Could you be the one to give Izzy the forever home she deserves?

Izzy's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Although Izzy hasn't lived with dogs, her guardian recommends her living with dogs, stating "Izzy loves playing with dogs, especially dogs her size or bigger.  I think Izzy would really benefit from having a dog sibling to help build her confidence and feel more comfortable in new situations". Izzy's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Although Izzy lives with a cat, her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats, stating "Chases our cat.  Not sure about cats outside our home".

Story
Daisy is located in East, TN. But if you are seeing this on adopt-a-pet, transport fees are included in the adoption fee. Out of state adopters are welcomed. Transport is available to your area in the NorthEast or Great Lakes area. We use the most animal friendly transport on the road (Rescue Riders Transport)! *Kids 8+ Daisy spent some time of her early life in a high-kill shelter where she had been found starving in the streets. Later on, she was adopted off the shelter's euthanasia list by an elderly man in his 90s. However, Daisy was too energetic and active for him to manage. Her owner tried to rehome Daisy without luck as all the shelters and rescues were full. We were full as well, but received a call to rescue Daisy while the she was at the vet's office, moments away from being euthanized for a second time! We couldn't say no to this special girl, and boy are we glad we didn't. Daisy is a well-behaved dog, although she has a penchant for the taste of good dog beds. She loves to cuddle and play and has been tested with cats and deemed unbothered by confident felines who don’t run away. With other dogs, Daisy prefers to be the dominant female dog and may have issues with other female dogs who are not submissive. Daisy enjoys being indoors near her humans or playing outdoors with other dogs. Daisy needs to be fed separately from other dogs, however, she is not aggressive towards humans when it comes to food, even if something is taken away from her. Daisy has not had much socialization with young kids so she requires a home with older children that will respect her space (8+) or no children. Daisy has done great during our 'Doggy Day Out' events. She LOVES car rides and pup cups! During her last outing, she walked well on a leash while we were inside Rural King. Daisy also enjoyed getting pets strangers and familiar adults alike, and was happy to give kisses to everyone who asked for them. Our website is woofwooffostersaol.com

These pups are in Washington, District of Columbia too!
