We always have a large variety of dogs to choose from in terms of age, size, breed and energy level to match your lifestyle.  Some dogs are in need of fosters while waiting to be adopted and are designated as such next to their names. (Learn more about fostering.)  If you haven't selected a dog for adoption, you are invited to attend an adoption event; however, we will still require an approved adoption application for adoption. 

Before you apply:
  • Individuals need to be over the age of 21 to adopt.
  • We apologize but at this time we do NOT adopt to traditional undergraduate students.
  •  We do NOT adopt outside of the DC Metro Area due to a variety of reasons. Please do not view this as a reflection of the type of care we believe you would provide. We have limited resources and our non-profit model and mission only supports local adoptions at this time. 
  • Our dog adoption fee is $425 for Adult Dogs & Puppies unless otherwise noted. The Senior Dog adoption fee is $200. 
​You must submit an adoption application to meet a dog.
