Introducing Thorn 🖤

This pint sized cutie is a middle aged pup weighing about 25 lbs. Thorn came to us from Asheville, SC after the hurricaine. Sadly, he also came to us very scared. He takes a little bit to warm up to new people, but once he does he’s a love bug! Thorn has loved all of the people and kids that he meets, however he will need to be the only pet in the home, as he does not like other animals. He is potty trained, crate trained, and walks great on a leash.
If you are interested in meeting this sweet boy, put in an application today! He is a really great pup that would make any family very happy!

Big thanks to the representatives from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee that volunteered their Saturday morning to spend some time with our pups🐾

This groups of student-athletes from 13 North East colleges within the conference, socialized our puppies, gave our dogs tons of exercise, and even helped us do some much needed organizing!

We (and our pups) are so grateful! It was amazing meeting you all 🥰🙏🏼

This adorable boy is about 9 months and as cute as could be! Marley was abandoned by his previous owners, and came to the shelter scared and confused 🥺 he is doing wonderful with us, but misses having a home.

Marley is so outgoing and friendly, he does great with other dogs (you can see him in the third photo, hanging out with his friends Bruce and Melo from the shelter!) We are not sure about cats, he hasn’t been around them to our knowledge!

Marley is such an easy going puppy and would be a great addition to any family 🐾

Where are our lab lovers?? 😍

Meet Riley! This adorable 7 month old lab mix is looking for her forever home! 🏡

Riley is such a love bug, and tons of fun! She does great with other dogs, all people and although we haven’t seen her meet any just yet, we think she’d do amazing by with kiddos! 🥰

Riley is still young gal, so we are still working on potty training, obedience, giving her enough exercise and stimulation, and all that fun puppy stuff 🐾

Put in an application today if you are interested in meeting this gorgeous girl! (care of dc . org)

Cute puppy alert! Everyone meet Opal! 🤍

This sweet boy is almost 5 months old and ready to find his forever home! Opal and his siblings came to us from down south over two months ago— and have gotten no interest 😢 This gentle pup is working on potty training (which is hard to do not yet in a home). He does great with other dogs, and is just a mush with people. What’s not to love 🥰

Come out and meet Opal or put in an application today! Don’t make this sweet baby grow up in the shelter 😔

‼️DOUBLE DOG POST‼️

Meet Angel (black and brown) and Selene (all black), two sweet souls who have been with us at CARE of DC for almost 280 days. These two were never adopted as puppies and are now 9 and 11 months old. Due to them growing up in the shelter, they are absolutely petrified of the outside world and anything new, including people.

Angel and Selene are incredibly bonded and make each other feel safe (they even share a kennel now🥰), but we understand someone adopting them together might not be possible. We're just hoping to find them loving homes where they can finally feel secure 🥹

It will take some time for these precious pups to warm up to their new family, and they need someone who will not give up on them. If you have the patience and love to offer, please consider coming to meet one of these girls, or both, and giving them the chance they deserve.
Let's help them find the forever homes they so desperately need 🙏🏼

Everyone say hello to Harley! 🧡

Are you looking for the companionship of a dog, but prefer someone that doesn't require high energy activities or extensive training? Then Harley is your girl! 🥰

This easy going gal is a 5 years old mixed breed pup, and is as sweet as could be. Harley grew up with a family, but was brought to the shelter when her parents got divorced 💔

Harley is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, does great in the car, and knows basic commands. What more could you ask for?? 🤩

We know she loves all people, and most dogs (with slow introductions) but Harley hasn’t spent time around cats, so we are sure about how she’d do with them 🐾

Harley LOVES walks, but also loves curling up next to her people on the couch. Going for a stroll, then spending a lazy afternoon watching a move on the couch would be her perfect day 🥰

If you think Harley sounds like your perfect match, put in an application today 🙏🏼

Say hello to Sassy 💖

This adorable girl is a 2 year old mixed breed pup who we rescued from Asheville, NC, after the hurricaine.

As you can see in her photos, she’s a happy little pup! She is potty trained, walks great on a leash and is a lover of all people- she is very friendly. We believe she likes other dogs (not sure about cats) but we can facilitate a meet and greet to be sure 🐾

Someone give this perfect pup the love & home she deserves!
Fill out an application today 🙏🏼
