Reintroducing Floofy, because we can’t believe she is still here! Somehow, she is now the last of her litter left at the shelter 🥹 let’s find this girl a home!

Floofy is about 7 months old & the sweetest girl—she would make a great family dog, she would do great with kids or another pup 🏡

If you like being outdoors and on the water, this little lady is your match! Floofy loves to swim, hike and be outdoors ☀️

Please SHARE this post to help Floofy find her forever home ❤️

To Our Anonymous Donor,

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your incredibly kind donation of gorgeous planters to our rescue. After ours were sadly stolen from in front of our thriftstore, your thoughtful gesture not only brought beauty to our shelter but also a deep sense of encouragement during a difficult time.

Though we may not know your name, your generosity has not gone unnoticed. You've reminded us—and everyone who visits—that kindness still blooms even in the face of loss.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The team at CARE OF DC

❤️🐾I have been adopted! 🐾❤️

Are you looking for a PUPPY, who is still young and moldable, but want to SKIP the chewing phase, potty training & crate training?

THEN THIS IS THE PUP FOR YOU! 🖤

Sweet McQueen is STILL looking for a home and we truly can’t figure out why. He’s a 4 months old black lab mix, and just an angel of a pup 🥹

- SO friendly with all people & kids
- Loves other dogs
- We believe he is potty trained
- couldn’t be cuter if he tried!

We hate seeing pups get left behind and end up growing up in the shelter. Consider adding McQueen to your pack, or SHARE THIS POST to find someone who can 🙏🏼

🐾✨ MEET FLICK! ✨🐾
Just look at that face!! This heart-melting, floppy-eared sweetheart has been in our care for over 80 days — way too long for a pup this precious. 💔

Flick is a 7-month-old mixed breed (around 35 pounds) who was found as a stray in North Carolina. We’re not sure exactly what he’s mixed with, but we are sure he’s the perfect blend of playful, gentle, and lovable.

💛 Gets along great with other dogs
💛 Adores every person he meets
💛 Sweet and friendly demeanor
💛 Walks like a pro and gives the softest kisses

He’s growing up in the shelter, which just isn’t fair for a puppy. Flick should be learning new tricks in a living room, going on adventures, and snoozing at your feet — not watching the world from behind a kennel. 🥺

Let’s change that. Let’s get him home🏡

💻 Apply to adopt at careofdc.org !

Please share and help Flick find the loving family he’s been waiting (so patiently!) for. ❤️🐾
