Ares and Danila are spending their days together in Puerto Rico, waiting for their chance to fly to Virginia on September 10th. They aren’t siblings and they didn’t arrive together, but these two became good friends while completing their veterinary protocol.

Now they are both fully vetted, spayed/neutered, crate trained, and ready for the next chapter.

🐶 Danila is 5.5 months old, spayed, and 23 lbs. She is a fun loving, confident little girl who loves kids, loves other dogs, and is always ready to be part of the action. This smart girl would love an active family who wants to include her in everyday life, adventures and all the fun that comes with being a family dog.

🐶 Ares is 4.5 months old neutered, 25 lbs and a bit more cautious, but underneath that initial hesitation is an incredibly sweet boy. He loves playing with other dogs and is discovering that calm, loving kids can be pretty wonderful too. Ares is smart, eager to learn, and would thrive with a canine companion to help him build confidence. He just needs a family willing to give him a little time, patience and lots of love.

Both pups have completed their veterinary protocol, including DHLPP, rabies and bordetella, and both are ready to fly.

They have done the hard part.

Now they just need someone in Virginia to say, “Come be part of our family.” ❤️

Adoption fee: $395

💕 Introducing Angie! 💕

Angie is a little survivor with a big personality and great head start by her foster in PR.

Angie was the only puppy able to be rescued from a litter of 8. No one knows what happened to her seven siblings. She and her incredibly friendly mom were living in a busy parking lot near a restaurant, surrounded by cars and all the dangers that come with life on the streets of PR.

Thankfully, the community is helping to get Mom spayed, and Angie now has a chance at something completely different: a safe home and a family of her own.

Angie is about 3 months old and 15 pounds, and she is already showing everyone what a confident, happy girl she is. She behaved beautifully at the vet and happily greeted everyone who walked through the door. She’s playful, full of puppy energy, and working hard on her leash skills.

This little girl is ready for a backyard, a soft bed, toys, and a family who will love watching her grow.

🐾 3 months old
🐾 16 pounds
🐾 Confident and friendly
🐾 Playful puppy energy
🐾 Working on leash skills
🐾 Great at the vet
🐾 Adoption fee: $395, including her spay

Angie is a gorgeous chestnut colored Sato, friendly and well adjusted. She would be great with whatever family is lucky enough to adopt her, cats, dogs, kids, Angie is ready to learn about it all.

✈️ TWO PUPS CAN FLY TUESDAY! ✈️🐾

We have the opportunity to bring two sweet pups from Puerto Rico to Virginia this Tuesday, but they need homes to go to before we can put them on the plane.

Those homes can be foster homes or forever homes. Either way, you can help change a life!

These pups are waiting for their chance to leave the shelter and experience what it means to be safe, loved, and part of a family.

If you have room in your home and heart for one of them, please reach out ASAP. Time is short, and we don’t want to miss this opportunity to get them out of the crowded shelter in San Juan.

We provide the supplies and support. You provide the safe place and love.

Please share! Their ticket to Virginia is waiting. We just need someone waiting on the other end.

Gia is a 6.5 month old, spayed 15 pound little island girl who is growing into such a sweet companion. She may be a little cautious about some things, but once she decides she likes you, she’s all about the cuddles! Gia is basically house trained, with only a couple of accidents. She sleeps happily in her crate most nights, although she also does wonderfully when given the freedom to sleep upstairs with her foster family. And this girl is a serious cuddler! She loves staying in physical contact with her people all night long. ❤️ Loves other dogs and is playful while respecting their boundaries. Great with most people, although she definitely has favorites. Nearly house trained, Crate trained, Loves to cuddle, Gia is still learning about kids. She has been around her foster family’s boys regularly but she remains a little standoffish and doesn’t really want them petting her yet. She’ll need a family willing to let her build confidence at her own pace. She hasn’t met cats yet, but her foster family doesn’t anticipate that being a major issue. Gia doesn’t need to be the boldest dog in the room. She just needs someone who will give her the time and patience to discover that the world is a pretty wonderful place. If you’re looking for a sweet little cuddle bug who would love a doggy friend and a family of her own, Gia may be your girl. ❤️ Adoption fee: $395

Fluffy, loving, adorable, and full of optimism, Marley is one of those dogs who makes you smile the moment you meet him.

We think he looks like a little Flat Coated Retriever, although his seven siblings all look a little different! Marley is a happy go lucky boy who loves food, loves people, and is always ready for some attention. He can be a little shy at first, but once he knows you, he’s incredibly cuddly.

He loves playing ball, although he’s still working on the important part of the game: bringing it back! He’s also learning “sit” and “come” and is eager to please his people.

Marley needs more than a family. He needs someone willing to help him get the care he deserves.

While he was still in the shelter in Puerto Rico, we noticed something wasn’t right with his front leg. We couldn’t leave him behind, so we brought him to Virginia where he could get the medical attention he needs.

Marley has a dislocated ankle and is currently doing well on pain management while we wait for his orthopedic consultation. Once we have the specialist’s recommendations, we’ll know more about the best way to help him move comfortably and enjoy his life.

Despite having a leg that’s temporarily out of service, Marley doesn’t know any different and plays, cuddles, eats, learns, and happily enjoys life. His optimism is contagious.

We could have left him in the shelter, where so many black dogs wait and wait for someone to notice them.

Instead, we noticed Marley.

Now we’re giving him the chance to heal, thrive, and find someone who will see the wonderful dog underneath that fluffy black coat. ❤️

🐾 Happy, playful & loving
🐾 Loves people
🐾 Food motivated
🐾 Loves cuddles
🐾 Enjoys playing ball
🐾 Learning “sit” & “come”
🐾 Currently on pain management
🐾 Awaiting orthopedic consultation

Marley is choosing to face every day with a happy heart. All he needs now is someone willing to help him write the next chapter. 🖤🐾
