Crispin

Snickers

Poor Snickers was left alone in the basement when her family moved out of their house - without her! And that was the family that rescued her from an abusive situation. Their plan was to let her loose in the Petworth area of DC. I couldn't turn my back on this girl - after a very bad history, she deserved a break. We took her in, and found a loving home for this sweet girl.

Emmie

Poor Emmie arrived with mange and was in terrible shape when she arrived. It didn't matter to her foster family though - the littlest member of the family thought Emmie was the most beautiful dog in the world. Love sees past mange, I guess!

Emmie is well now and has been adopted by her fosters. She vacations with them and is a cherished member of the family.

Kadee (now Jazmyn)

A before and after - as Kadee in the shelter and as Jazmyn in her new home. This girl is spoiled!

Sela

So rescue often has surprises and this time it was that we realized that Sela was pregnant! Luckily, her fosters were great sports and took wonderful care of her two puppies - Hershey and Hannah. Now she is Momo and her fosters are her adopters. And the puppies? One lives with mom and the other was adopted to a family member.

Tippy

She looks like a meerkat, no?

Bandit

Bandit - soon renamed Riley by his adopters! A scruffy terrier whose imperfections made him perfect. He's now living in Bethesda.
