You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Thank you for your interest in a Home At Last Sanctuary, Inc. animal.  STOP!!! READ!! The ENTIRE DESCRIPTION before you inquire. Do not call, email, txt, send an inquiry through any other website complete our online application FIRST. http://hals.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=3016 Visit our official website(s) here HomeAtLastSanctuary.ORG or HALS.RescueGroups.ORG There is a complete our application only. Newton is looking for a family that has had dog experience. If you do not have dogs now or have not owned a dog in  the last five years, and or if you have children, Newton may not be the right dog for your family. Newton would like to have a home with a yard where he can spend some time running around.    He is an amazingly affectionate dog. Newton is a mixed breed we presume to be Shih-Tzu / Poodle mix.  He is around 23 pounds neutered and up to date with all vaccinations.  Newton ended up in a local shelter completely matted and in pain.  He was shaved down, neutered and had imbecile hernia repair.  He was too stressed out in the shelter so they reached out for a rescue group to help him.  We got there as soon as we can. Newton is an active, happy, playful dog that gets along well with his new foster brothers.  He seems to be energetic and active and a bit mouthy so he would not do well with young children. Look back here for more information as we get to know him better. Newton is a very affectionate companion.  He seems to want to and will climb into your lap to be close to you.  He like to be in touch with his people either on the lap, next to and touching on the couch, and very close in bed at night with his warm body. WHEN AN APPLICATION TO ADOPT IS APPROVED WE BRING NEWTON TO THE HOME VISIT AND MEET AND GREET, AND IF ANOTHER ANIMAL A SNIFF TEST.  WE DO NOT PLACE DOGS ON THIS VISIT. WE RETURN IF THERE WILL BE AN ADOPTION WHEN EVERYONE IS PREPARED TO ADOPT.  WE ONLY TRAVEL UP TO A ONE HOUR DRIVE FROM ROCKVILLE MD TO PLACE ANIMALS.   Newton's personal webpage: https://hals.rescuegroups.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20407942 Newton's videos on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6X5lkFtFSjMp6_fnKd7UOKB2JI797ftG&si=Kb-7CqQ6f_gyoNLE Newton's Facebook photos: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.7420757568005560&type=3 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Name: Lucy Sex: Female Estimated Age: 3 years old Best Guess for Breed: Shih Tzu Mix Weight: About 8 lbs Lives With: Dogs and people! Housebroken? Lucy is potty trained and crate trained. Story: Lucy was rescued from a shelter in Oklahoma. We are so happy to have her safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Lucy is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. We haven’t seen her interact with cats yet, but happy to test her out if you have them. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Lucy is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Lucy will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! The fee to adopt Lucy is $450. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. Lucy has been seen by a shelter vet and has been given a clean bill of health. If you think that Lucy might be your perfect match, apply today!December 22, 2024, 5:37 pm

Story
Gizmo's got it all-all those gorgeous looks (button nose much?), excellent house manners ,and big ambitions to boot. Gizmo is working on championship fetch status while he is looking for his new home. He heard people like dogs who fetch, so he's all in with the tennis ball. At home, Gizmo is cuddly, smart and quiet. When he is out walking, that ambition kicks in and he works a bit too hard to achieve "tough guy on the block" status. His strategy is to bark and yell at passings dogs to prove himself. He needs to learn a new strategy and his new family can help. Your reward will be cuteness and kisses. Gizmo lives successfully with a dog in his foster home and has lived with others in the past. Gizmo is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. Gizmo is part of our Silver Paws program for senior dogs and his adoption fee is $250 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. For more information, please email bhutcherson@petconnectrescue.org **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
