SPCA of NORTHERN VIRGINIA - DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Here are our dogs
that need loving homes. If you are interested in adopting one or more,
please read our adoption guidelines,
then contact us. Our phone number is 703-799-9390, or you may email
us by clicking here.
PLEASE NOTE: We
adopt to residents of Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland only. All dogs over the age of 6 months old will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. If the dog is under the age of 6 months, an additional spay/neuter fee will be charged, and you will be given a certificate for the surgery. Prior to adoption, our dogs get crate training and learn basic commands, which makes the transition into your home much smoother. We encourage our adopters to continue with obedience training. |

You've seen the pictures of my daughters, Filene and Frances, and they're so cute I'm sure they'll be adopted. Please take a look at me now. We all lost our home and now will have to break up our family, but my mate, Nicholas, and I must stay together. Separation would just be too much of a loss. Both of us would like to meet you at an adoption day. | |

My life hasn't been easy. I've been abandoned and on my own. I'm not a pup anymore, so I feel very fortunate to have been rescued from under a deck where I had taken shelter. Despite my earlier misfortunes I still think most people are good and I hope one of them (or a whole family of them) will adopt me. | |

I'm Basil; that's an English
name that means "king," not an herb that you cook with! If I look
familiar, it's because I look like Petey from The Little Rascals,
without the circle around my eye. I was rescued with
Foxy (ADOPTED!)and Terry, and
I'm a happy, friendly guy; I like everybody I've met so far. Check out my video clips! |

Earlier I told you I needed to regain my health before adoption. Well, I'm fine now and looking forward to meeting you. I'm an easy going, middle-aged gentleman who likes people, and I need a good home. Yours might be the one. | |

Don't you think I'm a cute little doll? My background is unknown to my rescuers, but when I jumped from a pick-up truck I was picked up and taken to a shelter. Now the SPCA promises to find a home for me. I'm sweet and friendly and I hope they'll soon be successful. |

Ellie (adopted) and I were rescued from a "kill shelter" in another state where our chances of adoption were just about zero. Let me sort out my thoughts and I'll tell you more about myself later. But in the meantime you can come to see me at an SPCA adoption day and draw your own conclusions about me. | |

I don't have any pedigree to brag about. I'm just a "Heinz 57" variety who literally went astray and wound up in the same shelter as Sam. I'm a friendly fellow and an enthusiastic tail wagger. And I need a home! | |

I was adopted from the SPCA but returned because my adopter didn't have time to give me the exercise a big guy like me requires. If you can provide it, please come to meet me. |

Being in a shelter for a year didn't allow for much socialization. No wonder I'm shy! But I'm a sweet and friendly guy and I can warm up to humans pretty fast if given the chance. Will you give me that chance? | |
I am in a foster home! |

The humane investigators who rescued me said mine was the worst cruelty case they had seen in all their years of experience and I have the welts and bruises to prove it. But I'm strong and refused to be cowed by the beatings I endured. I'm not afraid of people or hand shy. What I am is a dog who deserves better, and that means a good home. Don't you agree? |

Do you like blue eyes? Brown? I have one of each! What I don't have is a home. If you'll come to meet me, I think you'll find that I'm an active young man, smart and friendly. A home with a fenced yard would be nice, but best of all would be a loving family. |

Hello. I'm
new here, so still rather shy. People tell me I'm very
sweet, and I do want to please them, but I confess that I get
a bit anxious when they're away from me. I guess I'm afraid
of being abandoned. Maybe you could help me overcome that
fear. Please come for a visit so we can discuss this |

Hey,
there, I'm Lola. I'm wiggly and friendly and sweet, and
I get along with most everyone, except other female dogs. I absolutely
LOVE my tennis ball; I could play fetch for hours! I need a good home;
how about yours?!? Check out my video clips! |

Can you believe that I was on the run for a year
before I decided to enter the trap rescuers set for me? No wonder I was so exhausted that I just curled up on a
blanket and slept and slept. I'm wide awake now, though--friendly and waiting for a home. You can read about my trapping on page 4 of the Spring/Summer 2009 Newsletter. |

NICHOLAS - adoption pending!! |

Sex:

I'm the proud papa of Filene and Frances. Being younger than their parents (how could it be otherwise?) they'll find a new home more easily than Alexandra and I will. However, we parents can't be separated from each other. We're well mannered and will be loving companions for a family that will love us in return. | |

I sure need to shed a few pounds. Maybe Jenny Craig should adopt me! Since that's not likely, how about you? I'm a middle-aged gentleman who knows how to behave in a house and I need a new home. It's okay if you have a dog, but no little kids, please. They always want to pick me up and I don't like that. | |

My owner just decided she didn't want me any more and left me at a shelter where I wouldn't have had much chance of being adopted. SPCA to the rescue! I'm a little guy and everybody says I'm cute. What do you say? | |

I'm a little guy, but don't let the size fool you. I can be a bit feisty with other male dogs, but with humans I'm a licker and a tail wagger. I was a stray, so my former life is shrouded in mystery. Doesn't that pique your curiosity? |

I'm Terry; I was rescued with my friends Foxy (ADOPTED!)and Basil. I'm told I'm a handsome fellow, and I'm friendly and happy, too. I'm not too keen on most other dogs, but I get along with everyone human! | ||

Seasons come and go, but I'm still Winter. I'm a friendly girl looking for a new home, preferably with a fenced yard, because my former owners didn't appreciate the needs of an active young dog. I'm clean in my crate, so I'll probably catch on to housebreaking quite easily. | |

I may appear to be frowning sometimes (maybe that's how I got my name) but I'm really a happy. active, fun-loving young guy. I like everyone I've met and would love a home that has a yard for me to play in and caring people to join me there. | ||
