CHARLIE
The essentials: I’m a 5-year-old 74lb boy!
Why you should adopt me:
I’m a young, healthy, happy boy—out of the puppy years but with plenty of energy for a fun hike or long walk.
Just look at my adorable freckled face. I am the epitome of cuteness. Who could resist me?
I love a good game of fetch and am a master of puzzle toys.
My ideal home: I’d like to find a home where any kids are over age 12. I can live with some dogs (following a dog meet to make sure we get along) but am not a fan of cats.
JASMINE
The essentials: I’m a 3-year-old 104lb Cane Corso Mastiff girl!
Why you should adopt me:
I am one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet.
I am a big goofball and a playful girl—the perfect family companion.
DCSPCA gave me a surgery to repair a terrible wound on my abdomen but now my tummy is just fine! I am a resilient girl and have made an incredible recovery.
My ideal home: I’m looking for a home where any kids are over age 5. I can live with some dogs, but my ideal home is cat-free.
PUMPKIN SPICE
The essentials: I’m a 2-year-old 50lb girl!
Why you should adopt me:
I’m super-friendly and affectionate. Adopt me and I’ll fill your home with warmth and joy.
I’m young and beautiful. What more could you ask for?
Despite my young age, I have been through a lot. I am currently going through heartworm treatment and deserve some nice cuddles to make me feel better.
My ideal home: Since I’m going through heartworm treatment, I’m looking for a quiet and cozy place to heal. I don’t like being left alone for too long, so it would be great if you work from home or can take me to work with you. I get along with other dogs and so could be a good housemate for your current canine companion.
CHEEKS & PIP SQUEAK
The essentials: We are 1-year-old .2lb gerbil boys!
Why you should adopt us:
We are itty bitty adorable gerbils! Why wouldn’t you want to adopt us?
In addition to being super-cute, we are playful and fun to be around. We will put a smile on your face every day.
We take up very little space and are the perfect pets for a small home.
Our ideal home: Since we were abandoned, we are looking for someone who will stick with us for the long haul, and appreciate us for who we are.
EVIE
The essentials: I’m an 8-year-old 13lb girl!
Why you should adopt me:
I’m the queen of Catland and who wouldn’t want to adopt royalty?
I’m a fantastic quiet companion to have in the room with you while you enjoy your favorite movie or book.
Gaze into my magnificent golden eyes and I will share with you the secrets of the universe.
My ideal home: My ideal place of residence is a home where there are no children under the age of 13. I’m looking for patient parents who aren’t pushy with me, but will let me do my own thing, while appreciating my regal presence.
FARFALLE
The essentials: I’m a 3-year-old 9lb girl!
Why you should adopt me:
I’m an affectionate girl and love both people and other cats!
I’ve overcome stomatitis and dental issues thanks to the veterinary team at DCSPCA and am now looking forward to a healthy life in a comfy home where I can get cozy with my PAW-rents.
I’m a tortoiseshell girl who will grace your home with my beautiful and charming presence.
My ideal home: I’m looking for a home where any kids are over 5 years old. I’d be happy in a home with other cats or without.
BUCATINI
The essentials: I’m a 2-year-old 13lb boy!
Why you should adopt me:
I’m a lover, a head-butter, and a charmer. You will always know how much you are appreciated and loved with me around.
I’m a chatty guy who will always keep you in the loop about my thoughts and feelings.
I’m a 13lb big boy—the perfect cuddler. I can’t wait to snuggle up with you this winter!
My ideal home: I’m just looking for a human BFF to spend the rest of my life with. I’m also great with kids and would make the perfect family cat.
