Dogs for Adoption in North Chevy Chase, MD: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

I am all set on my vet care, too! I’m neutered, microchipped, caught up on all my vaccines, and tested negative for heartworm and tick diseases. I would love nothing more than a cozy home and a family to call my own. Come say hi to me soon!

Because I don’t quite realize how big I am yet, I’m currently learning not to jump up when I get excited, and I'm also working on my housetraining (luckily, I'm super treat-motivated!). One funny thing to know about me is that when my brother and I were put in separate outdoor runs after getting neutered, I got bored and showed everyone I can climb a fence! I’m neutered, microchipped, up to date on my shots. I’m so ready to trade my days in the woods for a soft bed and a loving family. Come meet me soon!

Whether the other dog wants to run around and play or just lounge on the floor, I’m happy to match their energy. I’m spayed, microchipped, and caught up on all my vaccines.If you want a total lovebug who will make your family very happy, come meet me!

Once I know we’re friends, I take my cues from them and adjust right to their speed, whether I'm hanging out with a playful buddy or a total couch potato. On the vet side, everything is done: I’m spayed, microchipped, up to date on my shots, and tested negative for heartworm and tick diseases. I’d love to grow up with a family who has room for a gentle, affectionate pup—come meet me soon!

Having a patient teammate to teach me polite leash manners will be key! I'm all set physically: spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and officially done with my treatment for an old tick bite. If a resilient, joyful adventure buddy sounds like your match, I'd love to say hello!

(I take treats with the gentlest mouth, and I just ask for a quiet corner to eat my dinner in peace! )Other dogs are where my goofy side comes out! I play so nicely with furry friends and even threw a play-bow to my own reflection in the mirror. Having a confident, friendly dog sibling at home would be huge for showing me the ropes. Because quick movements still startle me, a patient, low-key home without young kids is where I’ll do best. I’m already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines. If you have a soft spot for gentle souls and an easygoing pup at home to be my guide, come say hi!

My ideal weekend? Hitting the trail for a nice hike, grabbing a pup cup on the way back, and then melting across your lap for the evening. A quick note on cats: I love everyone so much that I do try to chase them just to play, so feline friends should be dog-savvy or okay with a playful shadow! I'm all set on my care checklist: neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all shots, and tested negative on my full heartworm and tick panel! If you’re looking for an active, loyal adventure buddy who loves as hard as he plays, come meet me today!

I need a home where someone is always home. My family will need to be prepared to work with me on the gradual, sometimes challenging, training that separation anxiety requires. This isn’t something that can be rushed, so my adopters will need to be patient, committed, and able to arrange their schedules so that I’m not left alone while I learn that being by myself is safe. In return, you’ll get an incredibly devoted companion who truly loves being with his people. I’m looking for a home with older kids or adults. Little ones just aren’t really my thing, but I do well with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to respect my space.I’m neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations.I am young and have a lot of energy, so I also need a home where I can get plenty of exercise and opportunities to let that energy out. If you like long walks or need a running buddy, I am your guy!Whether we’re cruising around town with the windows down, heading out for a walk, or hanging out together at home, I’m just excited to be by your side. If you have the time, patience, and lifestyle to help a loving dog like me work through separation anxiety, I may just be your perfect match.

Couch time after a busy day? I thought you’d never ask. I can get a little mouthy when I’m excited so I’d do best in an adult home or one without young children. I’m also selective about my dog friends. Some dogs get the tail-wagging seal of approval, while others don’t quite make the cut, so any potential canine sibling would need a thoughtful introduction. I may decide that being your one-and-only is the perfect arrangement—and honestly, I’m confident I can provide more than enough personality for one household. The Quick DetailsPersonality: Sweet, smart, social, active, and full of character Children: Best suited for an adult home or one without young kidsDog Friends: Selective; may do well with the right match after a careful introductionHealth: Neutered and have all of my core vaccines Come meet me and see whether Lucky might just be your lucky charm!

Story: Dobby was found alone in a crate in a D.C. alley on a chilly morning without food, water, or a blanket. She’s being cared for by neighbors and has had her initial vaccines and vet checkup. She has likely spent her entire life confined to the crate and without appropriate nutrition which has resulted in some growth abnormalities in her legs that make walking a little difficult, though she’s getting stronger everyday. She has the sweetest, most affectionate disposition and has demonstrated remarkable resilience and curiosity now that she’s outside of the crate. She lives with two other small dogs and gets along well with them, though she doesn’t have enough strength for more physical play yet. She would thrive in a home with minimal stairs, maximal cuddles, and lots of love.

Story: Meet Summi, a sweet and gentle girl with a goofy boxer streak who is ready to find her forever family! Summi is a devoted shadow who loves nothing more than napping beside you on the couch (or in your lap!). She’s wonderfully calm and cuddly once she’s comfortable, takes treats with a soft mouth, and does great in her crate overnight. On walks she trots along nicely with little pulling and takes time to stop and smell the roses. Her playful side shines in the backyard, where she zooms around, chases tennis balls, and invites you into a joyful game of chase. Summi loves meeting other dogs, so a canine buddy to show her the ropes would be a perfect match. She’s a bit shy as she learns the world, so she’s looking for a patient, loving family who will give her some time to settle in and celebrate every small victory with her. She’s a sweetie and will make her future family very happy!

Summi tested positive for Heartworm. This is a very treatable illness that is common in many shelter dogs coming from the South. Treatment will be paid for by the rescue. For more information on heartworm, visit our blog.

Daphne quickly discovered the comforts of home, curling up in her dog bed with a few toys for the perfect nap. She seems to be housetrained, slept through her first night in her crate and has been a respectful houseguest.

She loves walks and prances over when it’s time for an adventure! When she’s not exploring, Daphne enjoys her favorite hobby: professional sunbathing. But this patio queen is also a total cuddle bug who loves snuggling with her foster family and soaking up affection.

Daphne did well with other dogs at the shelter, so we’re hopeful she’ll continue to be dog-friendly as we learn more about her.

Sweet, easygoing, affectionate, and an expert cuddler and lounger, Daphne is ready to shine in a forever home.

Apply to adopt Daphne today and give this special girl the loving home she deserves!

Story: Milo is doing GREAT so far. He's been such a little gentleman! He's slept peacefully through the night and is quite polite with people and other dogs that we've seen around the apartment. There was a smaller dog that was barking at him and Milo minded his business and kept sniffing the grass. He seems housetrained (no accidents so far!) and eats very well. He tolerated a bath and me handling his ears to clean them. He walks great on a leash! He is still a little nervous around the traffic in the area, but he's done great and looks to me for reassurance. I've had to run errands and he's done great alone today, actually. Sometimes he'll sleep in his crate, or in the dog bed in the office. He'll even sit and wait for me to put the leash on him! He's such a sweetheart.

The fee to adopt Milo is $475. That covers the cost of all his vaccines, his neuter, the collar he’s wearing, his transport to DC and his care in his foster home. He’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines.

He enjoys other dogs and plays beautifully with them, but he also knows how to settle. After a good play session or a nice walk, he’s perfectly content to curl up beside you and embrace his inner couch potato. Midnight is wonderfully balanced — fun when you want activity, calm when you want quiet.

He loves going for walks, exploring new places, and sniffing his way down a trail on an easy hike. Whether he’s adventuring with doggy friends or strolling solo, he’s happiest being outside with his people. He’s also very gentle when taking treats and has been great with other dogs. He’s cat‑tolerant too, making him an easy fit for a variety of homes.

Midnight has such a sweet, endearing personality. He’ll keep you company, make you laugh, and be right by your side whether you’re out for a walk or relaxing on the couch. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be included in everyday life — and he gives back so much love in return.

This special boy is ready to find his forever home.

❤️
