‼️ Fosters Needed ASAP for Dogs Needing a Break from the Shelter ‼️

The shelter can be overwhelming, and these five amazing dogs are showing us just how much they need a break. The noise, foot traffic, and confinement are making it hard for them to feel safe and calm. They need foster homes where they can decompress, find comfort, and just be dogs.

❤️‍🩹 These pups are some of the sweetest but most stressed dogs in our care. Whether it’s kennel frustration, anxiety, or just feeling lost, fostering them—even for a short time—can help them heal.

✨ Supplies are provided, and we’ll support you every step of the way. All they need is YOU. ✨

📅 Weekend pickups are available!! Ready to make a difference? Sign up here: https://www.humanerescuealliance.org/foster

Your home can be the safe space they desperately need. 💙

Can’t foster or adopt now? You can still help by liking, commenting, and SHARE SHARE SHARING this post. Let’s get these good boys and girl home!

🐾 Psst… Did you hear the latest? This little guy is all ears! 🐾

Meet Draco, our friend with the big listening skills and an even bigger heart! At just 9 months old, this black and white pup has been through quite the journey. His previous owner wasn’t able to give him the care he needed, so he’s here now, ready for a fresh start and some serious TLC at our New York Ave location.

Under that curious expression and those perky ears, Draco’s a sweet soul looking for someone to spoil him with love, yummy treats, and endless belly rubs. Don’t be fooled by his serious look—he’s actually a cuddle bug at heart who can’t wait to find his new family!

Ready to share some secrets (and snacks) with Draco? Visit humanerescuealliance.org/adopt to learn more about bringing this sweet boy home!

((Ginger wasn’t even embarrassed! Just mad she can’t catch her own tail 😡))

🐶 Meet Sharpy! This unique 3-year-old Shar-Pei mix has a look that’s hard to forget and a heart that’s ready for a new home. With his striking dark coat and soulful eyes, Sharpy is sure to capture your attention.✨

On the smaller side for his breed, Sharpy is pretty easy to handle. He enjoys gentle walks, taking in the world at a calm pace, and has shown his friendly nature by greeting staff members with a quiet hello. Initially, he might seem a bit neutral, but with some time and patience, he’ll show his warm side. 💕

Sharpy came back to us when his previous family couldn’t continue caring for him, and he’s now searching for someone who’ll give him the love and stability he deserves. If you’re ready for a calm, loyal companion, come meet Sharpy at our Oglethorpe Street location today between 12pm-7pm.

Looking to add some snuggles to your home this holiday season? Visit our website humanerescuealliance.org/adopt (link in bio) to learn more about adopting or fostering a pup like Sharpy and bring some extra warmth and love into your life!

🐶 Meet Bowie, our WTOP News Pet of the Week! ✨ Bowie is a sweet boy who loves people! He was found wandering the streets of DC, immediately winning the hearts of everyone he met thanks to his friendly nature. Bowie is a young guy with good leash manners and lots of energy. He loves nothing more than a good cuddle. At 45 pounds, Bowie firmly believes he’s the perfect size for a lap dog and would even love to take a nap on your lap!

Bowie knows some commands already, like sit and stay, and would love to learn more, as he really loves pleasing people and earning treats! He’s been gentle and friendly with everyone he meets in his foster neighborhood. He’s housebroken, though he sometimes needs a reminder as to what counts as “outside.” He was with a cat in his last foster home, and would most likely do well with calm cats or dogs.

To learn more about Bowie, please visit humanerescuealliance.org/adopt. 💙

✨✨ COMING SOON ✨✨

Ever thought about fostering a shelter pet but have questions like…

“Am I the right fit to foster?”
“How long does fostering usually last?”
“Will I need to find the animal a home?”

This holiday season, we’re teaming up with our partner shelter, St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in New Jersey, to ensure every pet at HRA and St. Hubert’s can celebrate with a family. Caring fosters like you can make this possible! 🎄🏡

🎙️ Announcing our new podcast: ⭐️🐾 Fostering FAQs 🐾⭐️

Tune in to hear from our inspiring community of fosters as they share experiences, answer your questions, and guide you on everything you need to know to foster confidently.

Senior Sunday Spotlight: Olivia 🌟

Meet Olivia, our sweet senior floof who’s looking for a calm, cozy place to call her own! This gentle Persian lady may be 11 years young, but she’s full of love and ready to charm her way into your heart. 🧡

Olivia’s been doing wonderfully in her foster home, showing off her social and affectionate side. She’s a pro at snuggling, a fan of treats, and enjoys her daily “spa time” – grooming is an essential part of keeping her coat as soft as it looks! As a Persian, she needs a bit of extra care, including brushing to keep her fluffy fur knot-free and occasional face wipes to keep her tidy. But don’t worry, Olivia thinks she’s totally worth it, and we agree! 🐾

If you’re a fan of Persians and have a soft spot for senior kitties, Olivia would love to meet you! To learn more or set up a meet-and-greet, email her foster at [email protected].

🐹 Meet Remy, a charming adult guinea pig with a soft, stylish grey-and-white coat that’s sure to make you smile! Remy’s previous family sadly had to part with him due to allergies — now he’s looking for a new home!

Remy is a social and curious little guy who loves lap time cuddles and play sessions. He’d likely enjoy the company of another male guinea pig, as piggies are happiest with friends!

Guinea pigs like Remy have a zest for life, with fresh veggies and fruits as treats and a need for ample space to play and nap. Thinking of adopting? Ask our team about getting ready to bring Remy home—and remember, adopt one guinea pig, and we’ll waive the adoption fee for a buddy! ✨

Adoption Update: Harrow & Pam’s Happy Tails

We love a good sibling success story! Harrow (the adventurous orange and white) and Pam (the sweet, shy tortie) are thriving in their new home together, and it’s clear they make the perfect pair. Their adopter shared, “We couldn’t be happier as a family! The kittens…are full of energy and enjoy zooming around at crazy speeds up, down, and sideways.”

These two are the perfect balance for each other. Harrow is always brave, leading the charge when it comes to exploring new toys and boxes, while Pam happily follows, letting her brother take the first step. Their personalities shine, just as their wonderful foster mom, Laura, predicted!

It’s heartwarming to see them so happy and connected in their new home. Swipe to see Harrow and Pam in all their glory – from cuddling on laps to lounging on their favorite blanket and bed. 🧡🤎

🐾 Meet Olly! 🐾

This charming, chubby hubby is ready to find his new cuddle buddy! Olly’s previous owner had to move and, unfortunately, couldn’t take him along. Naturally, he’s a bit bummed, but he’s eager to thrive in a loving, cozy home.

Olly is a social and friendly lap cat who loves snuggles and attention. He’s got a little extra fluff and could use some daily playtime and a healthy diet to help him live his best kitty life. With his sweet nature, Olly is sure to make a wonderful companion for anyone looking to add some warmth to their home. ❤️

Come meet Olly at 71 Oglethorpe St NW, available for visits daily from 12 - 7 PM. He might just be the purrfect addition to your life. ✨

After an overwhelming couple days, we could all use a little extra joy—and Juice is here to bring it. This sweet, one-year-old gentleman is a perfect companion who loves showing off his calm nature and gentle heart. He’s even incredibly thoughtful, choosing his crate and toys when things get busy. He has even shown how gentle he can be with children! 💙

If you’re looking for a warm, affectionate friend to help brighten your days, consider fostering OR adopting Juice! He’s ready for a break from a much needed break from the shelter —he would love nothing more than to bring a sense of peace and happiness to your home.

Visit humanerescuealliance.org/dogs to learn more about how you can help Juice thrive.
