Adopt Autumn 🍂 At 5 years old and 50 lbs, Autumn is the perfect mix of playful and chill. She’s a happy, social girl who loves people and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all kinds. Autumn is house-trained, crate-trained, and has great manners at home. She’s always up for an adventure; whether it’s a walk, chasing a squeaky toy, or playing fetch with her favorite ball—but she’s just as happy curling up next to you for cuddles and belly rubs. This affectionate, gentle, and funny pup loves being near her people and is highly food and toy motivated, which makes her a joy to train. Autumn truly brings sunshine (and a few laughs!) wherever she goes. Apply today: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FHVA/Dog

Story
Peppa is a sweet, snuggly girl who just wants to be loved! Around 3 years old, she’s already house- and crate-trained—and she truly adores her cozy kennel. She’ll even tuck herself in when asked. A little shy at first, Peppa quickly blossoms into a total love bug, happiest curled up next to you on the couch (or cradled in your arms like a baby!). 🐾 Energy & Playtime
Peppa has a low–medium energy level and loves the simple joys in life: soaking up the sunshine, watching the world go by from the window, short neighborhood strolls, and quick play sessions—especially fetch, her absolute favorite! After about 15 minutes of fun, she’s ready for a well-earned nap. A fenced yard would be her dream, or any home with safe outdoor space where she can chase toys, zoom after the flirt pole, and ‘chat’ with the squirrels. 🐕 Dog & Kid Compatibility
She enjoys meeting doggy friends and does well with one-on-one playdates with tolerant, playful pups. Due to her overexcitement and difficulty reading canine cues, she may or may not be able to share her home with another dog. Peppa would need to meet any resident dog, and the adopter should be willing to work with a trainer to help her succeed. She’s good with kids, but since she’s a sturdy little tank, we recommend older kiddos (12+) so she doesn’t accidentally knock anyone over. 🚗 Bonus Perks • Excellent car rider—road trip ready and known to sing a tune from the back seat 🎶
 • Very treat-motivated and eager to learn • Loves making her people proud 💖 If you’re looking for a loyal cuddle buddy to brighten your lazy days and warm your heart, Peppa might just be your perfect match. 👉 Ready to meet Peppa? Apply today and let her steal your heart! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FHVA/Dog

Meet Louie! This handsome boy is a rescued Pitbull mix from PG County, Maryland. Louie is approximately 2 years old and still shows off his puppy energy! He's a sweet and affectionate dog who loves people and enjoys cuddling on the couch. Louie is a quick learner and knows his basic commands like sit, down, place, and stay. His potty training is exceptional, and he hasn't had any accidents in his foster home. While crate trained, Louie prefers the company of his humans and will let you know he'd rather be by your side. Louie can be a bit stubborn and has a strong chewing instinct. He'll put your toughest chew toys to the test, so be prepared for some playful destruction! Is Louie the right fit for you? --You're active: Louie needs an active owner who can provide him with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. --You're patient: Louie is still learning and may need some extra training and guidance. --You have a sense of humor: Louie's playful antics will keep you entertained, but they might also test your patience at times. He’s well on his way to being an absolutely wonderful dog for an owner or family that is willing to continue working with him. Please reach out if you think Louie would be a happy addition to your home! Apply to adopt today: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FHVA/Dog

Story
Paisley is a gentle, soulful girl who is ready to begin the next chapter of her life — one filled with safety, love, and the stability she’s never truly known. We don’t know much about Paisley’s past, but we do know it wasn’t easy. She has clearly been through more than any dog ever should, and because of that she can be a little unsure of new things at first. What she needs most is a calm, patient home where she’s allowed to settle in at her own pace and simply be a dog. In her foster home, Paisley has shown herself to be incredibly sweet and affectionate. She forms deep bonds with her people and absolutely loves snuggling — once she trusts you, she wants to be right by your side. She has a soft, loving presence and a way of quietly stealing hearts. Paisley is still building confidence, so she would do best in a home that understands that new experiences can feel overwhelming at first. Slow introductions, gentle encouragement, and reassurance go a long way with her. She doesn’t need a busy or chaotic environment — she thrives with consistency, kindness, and patience. One of Paisley’s favorite things in the world? Stuffed toys. She adores them, carries them proudly, brings them outside with her, and piles them up around herself when it’s time to sleep. (If you squeeze a squeaker, she comes running — it’s her weakness.) Paisley is spayed and up to date on vaccinations, and she has done beautifully in foster care. She continues to make progress every day as she learns what it means to feel safe and loved.

Story
Fran is a sweet and bubbly Boxer mix who lives for treat time! If you love hanging out in the kitchen, she’ll be right by your side, ever hopeful that any bag you grab holds snacks. Her excitement is contagious — though she’s still learning to sit patiently for treats! This gentle girl is slowly coming out of her shell and learning to enjoy cozy time with her dog friends. She’s incredibly submissive and hasn’t met a pup she doesn’t like. When feeling overwhelmed, Fran simply retreats to her safe spot — often her bed or the kitchen. Walks can be a bit scary at first, but once she gets going, she really shines. She’s working on potty training and improving every day. Fran would thrive in a calm home with older kids and, ideally, another dog to help guide her. She came to us unsure of the world, but with love and patience, she’s blossoming into the sweetest companion. Fran is proof that a little kindness goes a long way.
