Story
Kylie needs a new home because she is not getting along with the other dog in her home. Her family is very sad to have to rehome her. Here is what they say about this beautiful dog: 'Kylie is an absolutely wonderful dog! She is very loving and attached to all her people. She is not always a fan of service people that come to the house, but any others, if we like them, she likes them. She loves to play ball and will catch it in the air and bring it to you. Kylie is good on walks but sometimes pulls when she heads home. I just stop and make her wait. She loves squeaky toys and Kongs. She is very treat motivated and takes treats extremely well, with just her lips, and will wait for anything if you tell her to 'wait'. She likes to cuddle next to us on the sofa, too. We feed her in her crate and she will go straight to it if you tell her to. She has passed all the obedience training at Petco and passed their Canine Good Citizen Test.' Thank you for your interest in Kylie! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=18246 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 Kylie, 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.

Momma Donna is a Kelpie/Heeler mix girl that gave birth 3 months ago to 8 beautiful, wonderful Heeler puppies. This girl is 2 years old and only 42 pounds.  She is amazingly smart and seems to know exactly what you are saying to her.  We think that Momma Donna would be a perfect addition to a home with children who want to play and teach a dog some good tricks and manners.  She is willing to learn anything. Momma Donna is nicely housebroken and ready for a totally great and new life.  Momma Donna just needs a place to belong.   So, do you have a front porch and a hole in your heart ready to be filled by a loving and devoted dog who wants to walk down the road with you every day?   Please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested in Momma Donna.  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Introducing the charming River! At just 7 months old and weighing around 35 pounds, she brings joy wherever she goes. Currently thriving in a loving foster home with cats, dogs, kids, and even farm animals, River is beautifully socialized. While she might playfully chase the cats, her gentle nature ensures they are safe. River is already spayed, walks gracefully on a leash, and boasts impressive recall abilities. Although she starts off a bit shy, she quickly opens up to those she adores, revealing her intelligence and eagerness to please. Rescued from the streets of San Antonio, River will be joining us on 1/11/25. Please remember, we cannot guarantee her precise breed or age; our information is based on the best estimates available.

Story
This 5&#194&#1506-month-old litter of Australian Kelpie and German Shepherd mixes are so sweet and cuddly! Christine is the only girl. The boys are Danny, Mick, John and Peter. They had a very rough start to life, emaciated and very sickly. Luckily, they were rescued and nursed back to good health. They weigh between 9 and 13 pounds now and are expected to mature to around 40-45 pounds. Each pup wears a medium black and tan coat, but Mick stands out with his white collar and chest! These puppies do well with other dogs and people. They enjoy playing with toys and running around in the soft grass! Adopt one of these good girls or boys today! (ME, 11/17/24)**It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. ** Adoption fee: $395 covers quarantine, shots, worming, medical records, spaying/neutering, microchip, and an Alabama State Health Certificate. Transport, if needed, is $160. We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. Adoption fees for Hope dogs and those who have been at rescue for prolonged amounts of time are reduced to $150 plus a $100 transport fee, as notated in their listings.November 25, 2024, 3:32 pm
