Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Ranger is estinated to be 1.5 years old and weighs between 35-40 pounds.  Ranger was hit by a car in rural Virginis and taken to the local vet for treatment. He is doing great & despite everything is a real gem. Rescue was requested for Ranger; enter Mutt Love.  Despite being hit by the car and also being a stray that no one came to claim, he is a loving dog and once you meet him, you will agree and hopefully fall in love with him. This guy is a smaller dog, loving, sweet, & ready to be your lifelong BFF.  He is AMAZING!!  Hopefully we will have some better pics of him soon.  **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.

Story
Edgar Hi, I’m Edgar! I’m a 2.5 year old German shepherd/black mouth cur mix of a slender build, weighing in at 56 pounds. I enjoy long walks anywhere! Walks are so fun and my foster parents say I walk well with a harness! However, if we don’t have time for a walk, you can just let me out in the yard to do my business and I will come right back. I am a great listener and very obedient! Some other things I love are running around at the dog park (I get zoomies there 🤪), chew toys, bones, treats, giving side eye, and meeting new people. Actually, that brings me to what I love most— people! I’m a cuddly guy who’s always down to curl up on the couch with the humans. I’ll greet them with one of my signature hugs and give them hugs throughout the day. And don’t worry, if they’re not giving me enough pets, I’ll nudge them to let them know (never enough pets). My foster parents would describe me as a quiet guy. I’ll bark once or twice when I hear someone at the door or see the UPS truck approaching, but that’s what good guard dogs do, right? Otherwise, I’m a chill, medium-energy guy. I’m fine with other dogs once I’m introduced to them but don’t really like when they try to take my toys or play too rough with me. You could say sharing is not one of my strengths. For that reason, my foster parents think I’d do best in a home where I’m the only dog. I promise to love my new parents with all my heart and I don’t think it’ll take long for them to feel the same way (I won my foster parents over pretty quickly). I can’t wait to find my forever home!!

Story
Gem, who has been going by the name 'Luna' is such a fun and playful girl. She loves running in her fosters' backyard, chasing balls, squirrels and sticks. She loves playing with other dogs and is very friendly with people. However, she can be scared and anxious of new situations and sounds, which can make walking her difficult. She would love to find a forever home with a fenced yard and another playful dog to play with. Thank you for your interest in Gem!

Story
Bodie is such a loveable dog! He is a little shy when he first meets someone new but always sweet and gentle. Once he knows you (and it does not take long) his full personality is on display: Friendly, playful, and happy! Bodie loves other dogs and would be a great companion to someone with another playful dog. But he would also be happy in a home without another dog. He is very clean in his kennel so we believe he would be housetrained. Let us know if you would like to meet Bodie. Thank you for your interest in Bodie! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=18425 to get the most up-to-date and accurate information on this pet, to email the contact person listed for more information and how to meet Bodie, or to submit an online application.
