Nessie is the epitome of “Big things come in small packages!” Big energy followed by big naps. She is fully crate trained but definitely loves to snuggle in bed ( be warned she snores!). She thinks cats are friends, but does chase them when they run. She is not very graceful, in fact quite clumsy at high speeds. She is sure to bulldoze over any human friends that aren’t at least twice her size or canine friends that don’t enjoy rough play. Would probably be best with older children and/or dogs her size or larger with high energy. When she doesn’t have the zoomies her big brain knows basic commands such as Sit, Wait , Come and Leave it. Her lay down is still a work in progress and looks more like a flop. All in all, with time, love and a little peanut butter, Nessie has what it takes to be someone’s perfect package.

Spark's Story Baby boy Spark was picked up by animal control as a stray. He landed in the shelter and when no one came to claim him, we had to bring him into our care! The shelter is no place for a baby to grow up in! This smart pup is a quick study. He is eager to please and is getting the hang of living in a home. He LOVES his people, and missing out on what everyone else is doing is not his fav. He has serious FOMO! He is settling into a new routine in his foster home, and relaxes in his crate after voicing some initial complaints. Potty training is on its way, but like all 3 month old puppies, he will need a patient adopter to continue his basic training. If you live in DC/MD/NoVa and wish to make adopt Nessie, please submit an application to begin the process: https://forms.gle/yA3YLr8YujbcJM45A Due to the puppy's young age, adopter of this puppy must be home most of the day. Adopter will also be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered and include a spay/neuter fee at the time of adoption for a future spay/neuter with one of our affiliated veterinarians. The puppy is up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and preventatives. The adopter will need to arrange for the puppy's spay/neuter surgery for when the puppy turns 6 months of age.
