Story
Our Popeye may not have superhuman strength (like the cartoon character), but he sure has super canine cuteness! He is basically like a canine toddler, who finds everything you do fascinating, so he wants to be a part of it. He enjoys other dogs to play with, toys to chew on, walks, with you by his side, and any and all attention you offer him. He is a true lap dog and reserves the right to yours every evening. This puppy is crate trained and house trained already. Sleeps through the night. His happy place is by you on the couch or your bed. If you are interested in this most adorable bundle please let us know. Thank you for your interest in Popeye! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=17582 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 Popeye, or to submit an online application. HART adopts to the local DC/VA/MD metro area only. Visit our website for more information about our adoption process.

Story
https://foha.org/pet/josie2024/ Hi there! I'm Josie, and let me tell you, I'm a sweet, sassy bundle of love who's ready to find my forever home. I'm currently hanging out in foster care, and I absolutely adore being around my people! I'd thrive in a home where someone is around often, and I wouldn't mind snuggling up with you at night for some cozy doggy cuddles. I can handle being left alone for a little while, but I do prefer it if you're not gone for too long. I might cry for a bit when you leave, but don't worry-I settle down and, lucky for you, I'm not destructive when waiting for you to come back. As far as housebreaking goes, I'm mostly there! If you take me out every 2-3 hours, I won't have an accident. And if I'm left alone for a bit, I usually do just fine-though sometimes I get a little too excited when you come back, and, well, a tiny tinkle happens. I co-exist with other dogs, but I'm not a fan of overly energetic playmates-probably because I'm on the petite side! I'd prefer to be your only dog or to live with another calm canine. Cats? Well, I like them too, as long as they're on the calmer side. I did try to play chase with a cat once, and that didn't go over so well-got a little swat on the nose, but hey, I learned my lesson! If you're looking for the perfect small companion, I might just be your girl! Can't wait to meet you!

Life didn’t start off easy for me, but I’m looking forward to a safe, happy future in a loving home.PersonalityI’m a bit nervous around new people and situations, but I find comfort in being with my brother, Tom. I like to follow his lead and sometimes hide behind him when I’m feeling unsure. With gentle encouragement, I’m beginning to enjoy my foster mom’s pets and kind gestures.Energy LevelI’m quite a calm guy who’s content to stay in my little spot. A quiet home with a peaceful environment would be ideal for me as I build confidence.Skills and TrainingI’m still learning the basics like leash walking and potty training, but my foster mom says I’m making progress. I’ll need a family who can be patient with me and help me develop these new skills at my own pace.CompanionshipI would do best with a quiet, patient family who can help me feel safe and secure. With time and understanding, I’ll continue to come out of my shell and show my gentle, sweet nature.Love and AffectionI may be a bit shy at first, but I have a lot of love to give once I feel safe.

ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13945Meet Tom – Your Gentle Companion with a Heart Ready to Heal Name: Tom Gender: Male Breed: Jack Russell Mix Age: 10 years Weight: 14 lbs Current Location: King William, VA About Tom Hi! I’m Tom, a 10-year-old Jack Russell mix with a gentle soul and a lot of love to give. My early years weren’t easy, but thanks to my foster mom, I’m learning to trust humans and embrace my new, happy life. Personality I’m a bit of a quiet, reserved gentleman, but each day I grow more comfortable with affection and attention. My foster mom says I’m blossoming and am even starting to enjoy pets and the occasional cuddle. I’m looking for a calm, patient home where I can continue to build my confidence and know I’m safe and loved. Energy Level I’m moderately active and love a good walk, though I still get a little nervous when the leash comes out. I’m also a bit of a jumper, so a tall fence would be great to keep me safe while I explore the yard. Skills and TrainingWhile I’m still working on potty training, I’m making progress every day. Since so much of this is new to me, I’ll need a family that understands my journey and can patiently support my growth. Companionship My ideal home would be a quiet, gentle one, with someone who has a soft touch and the time to help me grow into my best self. I’ve discovered that I love being around people once I get to know them and would be so happy to find a forever family who’s ready for a calm, loyal companion. Love and Affection I’m learning each day that life is better with love, and I can’t wait to share that with my new family! Could that be you? If you’re ready for a patient and rewarding journey with a sweet, resilient dog, apply to adopt me today.See me in action: Click here to see me in action!

Story
Sandy is the sweetest, snuggliest of them all. She loves relaxing days, neighborhood walks, and stretching her legs on the sofa for movie night. She loves to be wrapped up like a burrito in a blanket. She’s a low-maintenance companion who is happiest when with her people. She does well when boarded or with caregivers when her humans are out of town and is friendly with other dogs and people. She is housetrained. Sandy will bark when left alone, so she would do best with someone at home during the day. Keep this in mind if you live in an apartment setting because you don’t want to irritate your neighbors. Sandy is not destructive and doesn’t have accidents when left alone, but she will bark and howl. When someone is with her, she is very quiet, a gentle soul who loves snuggling. Sandy is currently on medication to help reduce her anxiety related to being left alone, but she needs an owner who is patient and understands she needs time to learn that being alone is okay.
