Meet Boscoe 🤎

This adorable 6 year old lab is looking for his forever home. Boscoe is a very big boy weighing 90 lbs. Boscoe is an energetic boy with a lot of energy. He is looking for an active family—he would love to play outside and go on hikes and long walks. We are not sure how Boscoe does with other animals, but we think he would do well. Boscoe is potty trained, knows basically commands, and is working on leash manners, but learns quickly. Boscoe has a great temperament & would be the great addition to any family 🐾 If you are interested in meeting Boscoe, put in an application today at care of dc . org

Adoption pending!

Meet Angel, the sweetest 11-month-old pup who has spent her entire life in the shelter, waiting for her forever home. This adorable girl is a bundle of love once she feels safe and comfortable. It took her foster family just four days to see her true personality shine, as she started asking for kisses and cuddles.

Angel is a bit nervous around loud noises and new people, so she needs a patient and understanding family who won’t push her limits too quickly. Thanks to her dedicated foster family, Angel is now potty trained and sleeps through the night like a champ. She loves playing with toys and other dogs, and she knows several commands like sit, leave it, stay, and “inside” when it’s time to come back in from potty breaks.

Because of her nervousness, Angel shouldn’t be left outside without supervision. She’s looking for a loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. If you have the patience and love to give, Angel will reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Help us find this sweet girl the forever home she deserves. 💕 Interested in adopting Angel?

*I have been adopted!*

Meet Oki!
This sweet 6-year-old, 50-pound sweetheart is ready to find her forever home. Oki is a bit shy at first, but her curiosity quickly takes over. After just a day or two in her foster home, she was already seeking out love, kisses, and cuddles. As her personality unfolded, Oki showed her goofy and playful side, getting along perfectly with her foster mom’s dog.

Oki absolutely loves going for walks—it's her favorite thing in the whole world! She would make an excellent companion for someone who enjoys hiking, running, biking, jogging, or any other outdoor activities. While she's playful, Oki also has a chill side and prefers a quieter environment, so we recommend a home without children.

If you're looking for a loving, active, and goofy companion, Oki might just be the perfect match for you. Give her the forever home she deserves, and she'll fill your life with joy and adventure. Interested? Visit our website CAREOfDC.org to submit an adoption application and come and meet this beautiful girl 🐾💗

A New Beginning for a Brave Mama Libra and Her Pups

We are thrilled to share the incredible journey of a brave stray dog named Libra who found her way to our rescue just in time. Rescued from a high-kill shelter in Manhattan on November 30th, this courageous mama was pregnant and in desperate need of a safe haven. Thanks to the unwavering dedication of our team and the support of our amazing community, she was given a second chance at life.

On December 2nd, surrounded by love and care, she gave birth to seven beautiful puppies. Each one a testament to her strength and resilience. Watching these tiny lives take their first breaths has been nothing short of miraculous. Our rescue is now bustling with the joyful sounds of playful pups and the gentle nurturing of their devoted mother.

We are committed to providing the best care for this little family, ensuring they grow up healthy, happy, and ready for their forever homes. Stay tuned for updates on their progress and how you can help us continue to save more lives like theirs.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Together, we are making a difference, one paw at a time.

BTW, Momma Libra is cat, dog and people friendly!

If you have any suggestions for names for this litter, please share them in the comments! Thank you

Meet Julie, a sweet and playful 3-month-old pup looking for her forever home! 🏡💗

Julie is friendly and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. She has all white fur, which can sometimes be associated with hearing issues, and we believe she may be deaf or partially deaf. However, owning a deaf dog isn't much different from owning a hearing dog – they can be trained and loved just the same!

If you're interested in giving Julie the loving home she deserves, please visit CAREOfDC.org to submit an adoption application.
