Story
Meet Nilo! This beautiful boy has the ultimate puppy dog eyes and one very important (self-assigned) job in his foster home: official greeter and toy presentation specialist. Every time you walk through the door - whoever you are - there he is, tail wagging, proudly showing off whichever stuffie he has chosen for the occasion. It’s his love language, and who doesn’t love a formal greeting with a gift? We found this sweet, gentle soul in the shelter looking utterly defeated, like the light had gone out of him. Shelter staff said Nilo barely moved. He just…existed. Waiting for someone to notice, waiting for someone to care. We did - and now Nilo is thriving as a Miri's boy. He settled into his foster home beautifully and immediately made it immediately clear that he only needs two things from life: his human and his stuffed octopus. Nilo is utterly devoted to his foster mom and wants to be near her all the time, lounging in the yard, on the deck, on the couch - anywhere will do as long as she's nearby. And after his human, his second greatest love is his stuffed octopus. He carries it around everywhere and especially loves showing it off to visitors at the front door. He even clutches it while he's sleeping - and yes, it really is as adorable as it sounds! He’s getting so good at “sit,” and he’s now working on “wait” with the motivational support of senior salmon jerky treats. Every day he grows a little braver ~ wandering the yard longer, exploring on his own, finding his rhythm. Nilo lights up when his harness comes out, ready for a walk anytime. He’s already down 11 lbs and can comfortably walk a mile now… though he prefers to take approximately 400 sniff breaks to fully evaluate the neighborhood. Nilo is housetrained, leashtrained, a superb car passenger, and great with kids and other dogs. But some things are still hard. A neighbor occasionally practices shooting, and those loud noises terrify him so much that he tried to squish all 80 lbs of himself into a corner. Big sounds and big crowds aren’t for him. Nilo is a gentle soul who thrives in calm, quiet spaces and loves nothing more than squishing into the couch with his foster mom. He and his octopus are hoping to find a forever home that is generally calm and quiet with a predictable routine. Nilo would be happiest in a family where someone is home with him most of the day. While he doesn't love being left alone at first, he's fine once he learns the routine and can trust that his person is coming back. Nilo came to us very overweight, so he's on a strict diet. It's working - he's lost more than 10 lbs so far! His forever family needs to be dedicated to helping him stick to his diet and exercise routine so he can reach and maintain a healthy weight. This beautfiul boy has so much love to give and is so deserving of receiving it return. Could you be the person he's been waiting his whole life for? Nilo is approximately 88 lbs and 9 years old.

Name: Kringle Sex: Male Estimated Age: About 13 weeks old (as of 1/15) Best Guess for Breed: Lab Mix Weight: About 10 lbs (as of 1/15) Lives With: Dogs, cats, kids and all people Housebroken?

Kingle is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. He knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with his humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood.

Like all dogs, Kringle will need an adopter who is committed to setting him up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising him both mentally and physically. He will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! What my foster says: Kringle is a delight! He is potty trained as long as his person lets him out regularly. He is a great cuddler and has developed a strong bond with everyone in the home. Additionally, he has responded well to my five-year old and three-year old grandchildren, who call him Fingle and Pringle. Kringle is more of a "follower" personality than a "leader." He is learning to walk on leash and making great progress and is learning to heel. He makes quick friends with other dogs he meets on his walks. Kringle is great in his crate. He sleeps there all night and gets in his crate easily. Sometimes he opts to go in his crate for a nap. Kringle has learned not to play nip at people and loves to chew on his toys. He’s a playful pup, but also knows how to settle. He’ll make a great addition to any family! The fee to adopt Kringle is $475. That covers the cost of all his vaccines, the collar he’s wearing, his transport to DC and his care in his foster home. He’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines.

Story
Ready to bring the noise? Meet THUNDA! Thunda is a loving, goofy, high-energy sweetheart who’s equal parts storm and sunshine! This athletic, playful guy has a heart as big as his zoomies and a personality that lights up every room. He’s housetrained, sleeps soundly through the night, and knows plenty of commands like sit, down, bang, up, wait, and come here—proof that he’s as smart as he is fun! Thunda loves toys (especially soft ones he can tear apart), long walks, and tug-of-war sessions. He walks well on a harness, though he can get a little overexcited when he spots another dog or animal—he just wants to say hi and play! He’s done great being left alone in his crate for a few hours and settles calmly when you’re away. Thunda also rides nicely in the car once he’s cozy in his covered crate with some treats. This social butterfly doesn’t have a mean bone in his body—he’s all love, kisses, and tail wags. He’d thrive with an active family or a doggy friend who can keep up with his joyful energy. If you’re ready for a loyal, affectionate companion who brings excitement wherever he goes, come meet Thunda—just be prepared for a little thunder and a whole lot of love!

Arlo is a high energy, lovable boy. He is a best friend. He is excited for you, for other dogs, kids, people, at all times. Too excited sometimes! He struggles to socialize in an acceptable manner and he comes off as aggressive but really he just want to lick any dog or person he sees. He is funny, smart, and very cuddly. He has been my best friend for 3 years.
