Story
Meet Callie! This little cutie has been in our care most of her life. She was born with excess fluid or “water on the brain” that caused blindness and was given to a family who was not equipped to care for her. They grew frustrated with her and didn't understand her behaviors or take her to the vet for further diagnosis. Callie was more subdued than most puppies and showed some early neurological signs, like circling, and had significantly limited vision, consistent with a condition called hydrocephalus. We took her to a neurologist and she was started on a medication that helps control symptoms of the condition and it has worked incredibly well. The mild neurological signs have abated and she's had no seizures on the meds and lives a mostly normal life. We can’t change the fact that she’s blind, but otherwise, she is symptom-free. Dogs with mild or moderate cases like Callie can live a healthy, happy full life. Callie has matured to be a self-sufficient, confident, loving pup, and while she can’t see, that’s all she’s ever known so she rolls with it.  Callie has adapted quickly to home life. She’s a smart, sweet dog who makes a wonderful companion She’s being fostered by Leah and Chris and has been living with their pack of 3 pups, both large and small. Callie has been good with every pup we’ve introduced her to and finds comfort in her dog business.  Our preference is for her to have a dog buddy in her new home, and she'll do best in a calmer neighborhood with each access in and out of the home. She can do small steps in and out of the home and is most comfortable with a yard or consistent potty area to explore. The only time we've seen her be hesitant is outside in loud or busy areas...so she's not an ideal city dog.  We checked in with her foster mom, Leah, for a quick update.  “Callie is very confident once she gets her bearings straight. She learned the layout of our home pretty quickly. She will explore to learn where everything is - especially the kitchen! The only times I've seen her be hesitant is when she is outdoors in a new spot for the first time - all of the smells and noises can be a little intimidating. As with most blind dogs, her other senses are very strong.  She can smell peanut butter in another room! She integrated into our home very quickly. She found the toys - she likes tuggy ones, Nylabones, and the stuffed toys that make the crinkle sounds - but her absolute favorite toys were my slippers. They had little pouf balls on them and she enjoyed ripping the balls off (which was totally okay they were cheapies off Amazon). She may have a foot fetish... hehe. She tries to play with my dogs but mine are Mean Golden Girls so not much luck there..She’s a very playful, fun dog and would have loved a canine playmate in her new home.  She’s also very snuggly and likes to cuddle on the couch with you and gives lots of kisses. We taught her to "walk" on a leash outside the home, but she needs treats to make her move along. She loves to explore the backyard which is familiar terrain. She’s really good about peeing outside and now she’s pooping outside too. She learned to go up steps quickly and we have trained to use our 4 front steps into the house and then the doggie steps to the couch. I think she can see some shadows. Honestly, you sometimes forget she's blind because she doesn't act all that impaired. She is a really happy-go-lucky dog with lots of energy and love to give. We need someone special to take this sweet little nugget. She's one smart cookie" Apply today to learn more!

Story
Meet Toby! This sweet boy’s journey began when his family surrendered him to a rural county shelter in poor condition. He needed more TLC than the shelter could give. Toby came to us with a double ear infection, an eye infection, and a secondary skin infection caused by scratching — conditions that could have been easily addressed with basic veterinary care. We also discovered that Toby likely has idiopathic epilepsy, which is typically genetic without an identifiable cause, but fortunately for him is also highly treatable. He has no structural or other neurological abnormalities and is a healthy dog who takes daily meds to keep seizures at bay. Toby has not had a seizure while on meds and lives a completely normal, full life.   Toby has made an incredible transformation over the past 6 weeks, now thriving as the sassy, confident little pup he was always meant to be. He is currently being fostered in a home with a mom, a teen son, two other dogs, and a cat. He had an easy introduction to his new pack and gets along well with the other dogs, while mostly ignoring the cat. Occasionally, Toby will bark at the other pets to get their attention or coax them into playtime. Now that he’s feeling better, he genuinely seems to enjoy playing and interacting with the other dogs.   Inside the home, Toby has a moderate energy level. He’s crate-trained and will often choose to nap in his crate when the door is left open. He’s doing well with potty training but benefits from regular and consistent potty breaks. While Toby willingly goes outside when encouraged by his foster mom, he hasn’t yet learned how to alert someone when he needs to go out—so being proactive is key.   We checked in with his foster mom for an update:   “Toby is generally a very good boy and the sweetest little guy. He’s a lover, not a fighter. He’s pretty chill and loving, and he seems relatively confident and comfortable with people. He enjoys having the other dogs around but would probably do well with or without a dog buddy in his home. He’s curious about my cat but doesn’t chase her. He’ll walk up and try to sniff her, which usually ends with a hiss, so he just walks away. He’s completely fine with cats in the house.   Inside, he’s mostly low-energy until he gets random bursts of playfulness. He’ll gallop around the house, play a good game of tug with me, have a snack, and then head back to his cozy bed for a nap. He’s still working on his leash skills—he’d rather sniff than walk—and with the cold weather we’ve had, he’s not a fan. He goes out for potty and wants to come right back in. He’s an excellent snuggler! When I put him on my lap (like right now as I’m typing), he stays and loves the cuddle time. At night, if I’m watching TV, I’ll put him with me, and he falls fast asleep. That’s how he got his nickname, 'Toby Burrito,' when I wrap him in a blanket.   I think he’d be a good family pup, but maybe for kids over 7 years old. Little kids might want to pick him up, which he’s not totally comfortable with—he just gets tense, not nippy. I think he’s best matched with a more laid-back home environment.”   ******   We think Toby could be a mix of a Chihuahua and Pug with his curly tail. We know he’s adorable and loves to snuggle. He’s adaptable and will be fine as an only dog or with a buddy. Cats are fine too!   Apply today!   BREED ESTIMATE: Chihuahua/Pug Mix GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  17 lbs  APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 2 years old COAT TYPE:  short coat ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/neutered/microchipped LOCATION: Arlington, VA     FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application.

Story
Meet Jelly Bean! This adorable 7-pound nugget was abandoned in a mobile home park by her owners who moved away and left her behind to fend for herself. Thankfully, compassionate neighbors stepped in to feed her but grew concerned as winter temperatures began to drop and she did not have proper shelter. They reached out to rescue for help, and Jelly Bean is now on the path to finding the loving forever home she deserves. When she arrived, Jelly Bean was covered in fleas and needed a good bath, but she was otherwise in good shape. She quickly proved herself to be a very sweet little pup and has settled nicely into her local foster home. She is being fostered with a mom, dad, and two dogs. She’s been respectful of the other dogs but needs a little time to build rapport. This gentle girl would do best paired with pups that share her laidback energy, making her a wonderful companion for a calm pack. We checked in with her foster mom, Kristin for a quick update: “Jelly Bean is an incredibly sweet Chihuahua who has quickly made herself at home. She adores her foster dad, Donnie, and has been competing with Tessa for prime lap space during TV time. At night, she loves burrowing under the blankets in bed, where she sleeps peacefully all night. Blankets are her favorite—she even does this ridiculously cute thing where she pulls one down and falls asleep chewing on it. I’ll try to get a video. Jelly Bean is mostly potty trained but doesn’t signal when she needs to go outside, so regular potty breaks help prevent accidents. She’s not particularly vocal; she’ll bark when the other dogs do but doesn’t initiate barking on her own. I haven’t tried the crate yet but she has been fine when left alone in the bedroom for a few hours. I plan to introduce her to a crate in the living room where she can see the other dogs. She’s been getting along fine with my other dogs, though she hasn’t had much interaction with them yet. Jelly Bean loves toys and keeps herself entertained playing with them. We had a friend visit yesterday. Jelly Bean growled at first but warmed up quickly and was perfectly fine.  She’s really a very sweet pup who is going to bring so much joy to her future family.”   FOSTER MOM UPDATE - 2 WEEKS “JB is doing great. She's coming out of her shell more each day and is an absolute cuddle bug. She loves to sit next to you on the couch or in bed and snuggle. She's a blanket maniac....actually a "fuzzy thing" maniac. She loves her blankie and carries it with her, dragging it out from her crate around the house whenever possible. She is also a fan of fuzzy shoes. She doesn't do anything to them. She just likes to drag them into her crate when no one is around. If we go out, even for a minute, we come back to find either my fuzzy boots or dad's slippers (or both) safely tucked into the crate next to her. Oh..and she loves her crate. We don't close the crate when we go to work but she still likes to stay inside snuggled up with a pile of blankets. She's been really good when left alone with our other two dogs. No issues. She's not a big fan of dog play but she loves to play "crazy dog" with her people. Basically, she runs at you, then flips over on her belly or runs around in circles so you can hand wrestle with her and give her belly scratches. It's her favorite thing.  A couple of times she's tried to engage on of the older dogs in a little play but didn't happen. She like toys. She'll pick up a toy, swing it around, set it down, and do it again...but mostly she just likes to carry her blanket around.  JB is a full-on top-level home security system. If a person, dog, or squirrel gets too close to her house, she will let everyone know.  She also has a bit of a singing voice and will let out a howl at sirens or when her foster dad eggs her on. She is pretty much housebroken although she has to be encouraged to go outside on cold days. On nice days she loves to explore in the yard and chase the squirrels. She does ok on the leash but she gets cold quickly.  She's been a joy to have in the house and anyone that has a bit of energy to play with this young pup but also likes to snuggle will love this little girl.” ******* Apply today to learn more!    BREED ESTIMATE: Chihuahua  GENDER: Female APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  7 lbs  APPROXIMATE AGE: ~  4.5 years old COAT TYPE: Short coat ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/spayed/microchipped LOCATION:  Alexandria, VA   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application.

Story
Introducing the delightful and dainty China, a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix who is sure to steal your heart 🐾❤️ This sweet, social, and funny pup is a bundle of energy and endless enthusiasm, her tail wagging excitedly and her big, expressive eyes shining with joy. When China first arrived, her story was a heartbreaking one - she had been severely starved and was in poor physical condition. However, despite the trauma she endured, China has shown an incredible resilience and gratitude that is truly inspiring to witness. China's zest for life is palpable in every wag of her tail and every bounce of her step. Whether she's racing around the yard, playing a spirited game of fetch, or simply lounging in a sunny spot, this girl radiates pure, unadulterated happiness. Her ability to overcome her difficult start in life and blossom into such a loving, well-adjusted companion is a testament to her strength of character and the power of a second chance. Though she may be small in stature, China's personality is larger than life. She loves to cuddle up next to her human companions, snuggling in close and showering them with gentle kisses. China also gets along wonderfully with children, cats, and other dogs, making her an ideal addition to families of all shapes and sizes. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to welcome China into their home. With her dazzling smile, affectionate nature, and endearing quirks, this Chihuahua mix is sure to bring endless joy, laughter, and unconditional love to her future forever home. She is spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Her story is one of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of compassion - a story that is sure to capture the hearts of all who meet her ❤️ RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such.

Introducing Bubba! Bubba is 12 years old and 32 lbs, but don’t let those numbers fool you. He is full of spunk and energy! Sadly, Bubba found himself at a rural shelter after his owner passed away and is looking for a loving home to ride out his senior years. Bubba loves to go on long walks and sniff every leaf and tree he can. His new year's resolution is to lose some weight to be ready to hit the beach in the summer, so the more walks the better. He walks well on a leash and is house broken. He appears to be a bit hard of hearing, which means you can grind those coffee beans early in the morning without worrying about waking him up. At home, he loves to stare out the window and watch people and animals wander about. He will let you know when he sees something interesting! Bubba loves cuddling on the couch, chewing on bones, playing tug-o-war, and giving everyone kisses. He is super friendly and loves to just be in the same room as you while you do your thing. Interested in learning more about Bubba? Apply at www.novapetsalive.org/adopt. *Bubba is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, was given dewormer and monthly preventatives, and is microchipped.
