 | Rescue Me ID: 13-05-14-00317Dixon (male)
This is Dixon. He's 3.5 years old and is a sweetheart. He's generally well behaved, but is not the best with kids or cats. He's very loyal and protective - sometimes to a fault. He loves long walks, the dog park and sneaking under the covers when no one is looking! Dixon might only be 17lbs, but he's got the attitude of a much larger canine and is full of personality. He's looking for a new loving home! District of Columbia Washington, DC 20005 MAP IT!

Blue is a handsome, shy, friendly, laid back and lovable one and a half year old pit bull terrier looking to find a peaceful and nurturing home. Blue is especially great for a home with kids or pre-teens who can help keep him active. In his new home, Blue's love for people combined with your love for dogs, can bring out the very best in both you and Blue. District of Columbia Washington, DC MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-05-03-00221Kano (male)
Very loving, energetic, loyal dog. In a county where Pits are illegal and could be put down soon because he got sent to the local shelter by neighbors who told. He has no bite or aggressive history. Please help give him a chance, he's only 1.5 years old and loves life and his people. Loves outside so he would need a yard. Thank you so much! District of Columbia Washington, DC MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-04-18-00164Tipper (female)
I was on a run and found Tipper is West Virginia. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle. She has a lot of energy and has been taking runs with me. She has met quite a few dogs now and is very friendly with them. She is aggressive with dominant females if they make the first move, but is easily corrected. As you can see in the picture she has beautiful markings. My house in in final renovations and I am sadly unable to keep her. She is staying with my sister in DC right now but they are not setup to care for another dog. District of Columbia D.C., DC MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-04-08-00207Olive (female)
Olive is a sweet and loving pit bull with a ton of energy. She loves meeting new people, and is great with kids and other dogs. She loves going on walks, to the dog park, playing fetch, and chewing her bones and sticks. She needs a family who will be able to take her on daily walks/runs, play with her, and give her the love she deserves. I love her more than anything, but am in medical school and don't have the time, money, or enough space to have her. I am very sad to have to give her away, but I know she will be happier with a family who can spend more time with her than I am able to. She is up to date on all vaccinations, is spayed and ... (Read More)microchipped, and has been very healthy since I got her. She turned 1 this March and is partially trained, fully house trained, but needs work with other training. She really is a sweet and happy dog and not aggressive at all. (Less) District of Columbia Washington, DC MAP IT!

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Dog in D.C. | |||||||||
Dogs can make good pets in D.C. if they match your IifestyIe. Dogs have a reputation for being "man's best friend" for excellent reasons. Dogs are wonderful companions. Many breeds, in addition to being affectionate, devoted members of the family, are useful working dogs and guardians. Most dogs form tight bonds with their humans, and need to be cared for like the valuable family members they are. But sadly, some owners do not live up to the responsibility and involvement it takes to properly care for a dog throughout its life. Dogs can become the victims of neglect or active abuse. Some dogs receive tender, attentive care from their owners, but no longer have a home after their owner passes away or experiences a major life event that makes him unable to keep his dog. There are many more dogs than there are homes for dogs, and dogs that are not spayed or neutered can accidentally produce large numbers of puppies, exacerbating overpopulation. For this reason, three to four million dogs, many of them perfectly healthy and wonderful animals, are euthanized in the U.S. each year. Many people get excited about owning a new dog, decide to get a puppy, and then pick one out at a pet shop or visit a breeder with a new litter. However, there are so many wonderful, friendly dogs in need of adoption, including puppies and purebreds. Some of these dogs might even be a better fit for a family than a new puppy; for instance, some adult dogs in need of adoption are already housebroken and obedience trained. Adoption is typically much less expensive than purchasing a dog. People who adopt dogs find the experience extremely rewarding, bond very closely with their dogs, and have the added satisfaction of knowing that one less animal has to be euthanized. If your family is ready for a canine companion, please consider adopting a dog! Rescue Me! - HeIpingAnimaIs in Need. |  | ||||||||
