Adult Dogs for Adoption in Reston, VA: 30 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We have tested Toby with some of the cats at the shelter, and he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that Toby could live with a cat, he has not done so to our knowledge. If you have cats in your home, we are happy to discuss with you how to best introduce a new pup to your pack. Toby is not recommended for homes with children
Currently Living at: A DC area foster home

Special adoption considerations: Toby is not recommended for homes with children because he can be nippy when afraid or meeting new people.

About Toby: Meet Toby, an adorable 5-year-old Shih Tzu mix who's looking for a second chance at his happily ever after!
Toby was adopted in South Carolina, but just a few weeks later, his world was turned upside down when his adopter suffered an injury that required surgery and could no longer care for him. Through no fault of his own, Toby found himself back in rescue, hoping to find a family to call his own.
Toby is a sweet little guy who just needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people. He can be nervous when first meeting strangers and may nip if he feels scared or overwhelmed. But once he realizes you're a friend, his affectionate personality shines through! Toby warms up quickly and transforms into a loving little cuddle buddy who enjoys being close to his people.

The good news is that Toby gets along great with other dogs! He also did well with cats during his shelter cat test, suggesting he could be a good fit for a home with feline friends.

Because Toby can be fearful and may nip when nervous, he is not recommended for homes with children. He would do best in an adult-only home with patient adopters who understand that some dogs need a little extra time and space to build trust.

Toby has already experienced the disappointment of losing a home, and he's ready for a fresh start. With a little patience, kindness, and plenty of snuggles, this sweet boy will reward his new family with lots of love.
Could you be the one to give Toby the forever home he deserves?
What My Foster Says About Me: We'll update this section when Toby has spent more time with his foster.

Currently Living at: PUERTO RICO SHELTER. Needs a forever home or a foster to get her ride to DC!!
Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Lulu would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.

Lulu is Looking For: Her forever family! This very sweet, well-mannered girl is ready to twirl right into the heart of a loving home. She would love leisurely sniffy walks, opportunities to explore her new neighborhood, quality kibble and a soft bed where she can curl up near her favorite people.

She would enjoy plenty of affection, gentle adventures and chances to be included in her family’s daily life. Dog school would help her bond with her new humans while showing them what a clever and polished little lady she is.

Most of all, Lulu is looking for people who will treasure her, keep up with her veterinary care and give her all the love and security she deserves. In exchange, she promises sweetness, lovely manners and loyal companionship. What do you say? Is Lulu ready to take center stage in your home and your heart?

He will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive!

The fee to adopt Dallas 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.

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!

Jake is a social, confident, people-loving guy who greets the world with enthusiasm. His owner describes him as “jaunty,” and it’s easy to see why. He loves being part of whatever his people are doing, whether that’s yard work, hanging out while you work, going for walks, or heading out on an adventure. He enjoys playing fetch, chewing on one of many favorite toys, and pretending he’s a lap dog.

Jake loves other dogs! He does well as part of a pack, and we really want a playful canine companion in the home for him. If he’s an only dog, a fenced yard to play fetch and doggy playdates would also be a great outlet for him.

This handsome boy is crate-trained, house-trained, walks well on leash, and rides nicely in the car. He’s a budding senior but still an active guy who typically gets two walks a day and needs regular activity and engagement. The good news is that he can settle down with a chew or toy when it’s time to relax.

Jake loves to snuggle. He’ll hop onto the couch beside you, rest his head on your shoulder, and lean in for a hug. He’s a well-mannered guy who sits for treats and doesn’t beg for food. He has a healthy appetite and isn’t picky, although his diet is managed due to a possible food allergy.

Jake is a fun, affectionate companion with plenty of life and love to share. He’s ready for a family that appreciates his cheerful, outgoing personality and will give him the activity, companionship, and structure he needs.

Could Jake be the scruffy sidekick you’ve been looking for? Apply today

Special adoption considerations: GEM is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!
Gem is Looking For: Hi I am Gem. Shelter staff tells me I’m a good girl, calm and well-mannered, and I do my best to live up to it! I’m a female Lab mix, and I’ve been told I have a beautiful soul, a beautiful coat, and beautiful ears! I think life is looking up for me and the family who adopts me. I am looking for a forever home where we can share a lifetime of loving companionship, nice walks, gentle snuggles, belly rubs, good food, friends…it all sounds so great to me, how about you?! I look forward to being your faithful friend if you give me a spot in your heart. I’d love to meet you. Come meet me. You can also apply to adopt me below!

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We have tested Bubs with some of the cats at the shelter, and he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that Bubs could live with a cat, he has not done so to our knowledge. If you have cats in your home, we are happy to discuss with you how to best introduce a new pup to your pack!
Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter; needs DC area foster or forever home

Bubs is Looking For: His forever home! He's heard that there are treats, belly rubs, and snuggly places to snooze at those. He's also heard that there are people out there who will love dogs with their entire hearts and would treat them like a real member of the family. Bubs has thought it over, and he would like to request that, please. He thinks it sounds so nice to be beloved. In return, he'll love you for life too!

Crue is Looking For:
Looking for a companion with charm, brains, and a coat you’ll want to run your fingers through? Say hello to Crue, a handsome 5-year-old poodle/pointer mix with gorgeous curly brown fur and a heart to match.

From the moment he arrived, shelter staff noticed something special: Crue is very friendly and well mannered. He greets people warmly, carries himself like a gentleman, and seems to already understand how to be a good companion. At five, he’s past the chaotic puppy stage but still has plenty of years of adventures, walks, and cuddles ahead of him.

Crue brings together the best of two great breeds. Poodles are known for their intelligence and eagerness to learn, and pointers for their loyalty and love of time outdoors. Put them together and you get a smart, affectionate dog who’d love to explore the world with you and then settle in beside you at the end of the day.

YARA is Looking For: Her forever home! This beautiful girl landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. Now she's looking for her own humans to trot alongside on those sniffy walks and adventures - she wants to burn all that awesome dog energy! Making new pup pals along and having plenty of opportunity to run and play is on her wish list along with quality kibble and a cushy dog bed.

But above all she wants to know where she belongs, to be under her own roof, to be safe and loved. In exchange, she promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Can you see her by your side?

Lucky is everything you could want in a companion: sweet, affectionate, easygoing, and happiest when she’s with her people. Her foster describes her as an absolute dream. She’s house-trained, well-mannered, walks nicely on a leash without pulling, rides calmly in the car, and is comfortable staying in her own space when her person leaves. She learns quickly, comes when called, and sits politely for treats without jumping or grabbing.

This girl is a world-class snuggler! She loves sleeping under the covers with her head on your shoulder, giving kisses, leaning into your hands for affection, and rolling over for belly rubs. She’ll happily follow you from room to room just to be near you. When she’s not cuddling, she enjoys walks, chasing balls and squeaky toys, and spending time with her dog buddies. She has a playful side but settles down nicely and is content to relax by your side.

Lucky is currently living with another dog and gets along well with canine companions. She’s curious and appropriate when meeting new dogs, and her easygoing nature could make her a wonderful addition to a home with another friendly dog. She could also thrive as your one and only, soaking up all the love. Her history with cats is unknown, and while she hasn’t been formally tested with children, we believe she could do well with kind, respectful kids.

After losing the family she knew, Lucky deserves a home where she’ll feel safe, loved, and included. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate best friend who will happily share your couch, your bed, and pretty much your entire day, Lucky may be your girl!

Story: We are so happy to have Amber safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Amber is a happy sweet girl who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. Amber is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Amber will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive!

The fee to adopt Amber is $475. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, the collar she’s wearing, and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines.

If you think that Amber might be your perfect match, apply today!

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.
