Meet Alvin! He is a 2 year old male with a buff/orange and white coat. Alvin is an all around great cat with a great personality to boot! He is outgoing and interested in the happenings around him. He's very sweet and friendly. Alvin will be a great friend to those who will give him a good scritch behind the ears! Alvin is ready to find his forever home and make a great companion to those who want an easy-going, loving cat friend.

Meet Avon Barksdale, AKA Piggy due to his pink nose.  Piggy is one of the happiest, goofiest, and most loving dogs we have ever met.  We call him "the bringer of joy" because everyone on the street just can't help but smile and laugh when he approaches with his bumbly happy prance. This handsome 3 year old boy loves people and treats everyone like his best friend. He loves walks and playing, but his favorite pastime is sleeping...he's also a great pillow! Piggy is very well house-trained, and goes potty immediately when outside. He was born with hearing only in his right ear, so it takes him a little longer to figure out where sounds and voices are coming from. Butt scritches make Piggy wiggle with joy. He continues to work on keeping all four feet on the ground when meeting people, but settles down well and quickly. Piggy does not do well with most other dogs so we are looking for a home where he'd be the only one. show less

***We are no longer taking applications for Bo. Meet Bo, a 5 year old (we think...his former people said he was 5 or 6 when they surrendered him, but the shelter vet wrote 2 on his medical records), 37 lb., beagle mix. Bo is such a sweet boy! He loves to be near his people; his foster mom even takes him to work with her! He can be calm but also loves to run around in the yard, especially with his dog buddy next door! He’s working on his house training; he’s picked it up quite quickly. His foster mom says he loves to burrow under the covers with her at night. 💙💙 Bo would not do well in an apt. as he does have a tendency to bark.

Gus is a 2 year old, 80 lb., Great Dane mix. He is quite affectionate and loves to be around people! He does need to work on his leash manners but is willing to learn! He is housetrained, having come from a home previously. Gus does not do well with other dogs so he will need to go to a home without another dog (or cat). No dog parks for Gus. A nice backyard would be great for Gus, or at least somewhere for him to be able to walk without having to worry about being around other pups. Do you want a loyal companion who will shower you with love?! Gus is the guy for you! PAW places animals in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area only. show less

**We are no longer accepting applications for Harry** Harry is a typical 9 month old Dalmatian puppy. He is bursting with energy and almost full-grown at about 55 pounds. Dalmatians are bred for speed and stamina. They NEED to run at top speed for a considerable amount of time to be fit and happy. Life with Harry will be much easier within a securely fenced yard or for an active runner looking for a running partner and committed to getting him out daily. Harry's greatest asset is the speed he can reach when he runs....estimated to be between 35 and 40 mph. The gracefulness with which Harry can turn on a dime, while maintaining speed, is amazing to watch, but impossible to catch should he get away from you. He should never be off leash in an unsecured area. Harry will grow into a wonderful household pet with some training (remember he is a puppy)! His whole family should commit to positive reinforcement training. Harry is close to being housebroken, but may need some guidance from his new family. Harry is crate trained. We believe Harry would do best in a home with kids over 14 and adults under 60. Harry is fully vaccinated and neutered. Dalmatians require a good quality, low-purine diet (no beef, beef by-products, venison, or organ meats) to prevent the formation of bladder stones, and no wheat, corn, or soy to avoid food allergies. Ideally it would be great if someone with Dalmatian experience adopted Harry, but not a requirement. Harry's advocate has years of Dalmatian experience and will be a good source for any additional questions regarding Harry and the Dalmatian breed.
