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. |

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! |

Hello! You know what a chip is, don't you? It's a small piece of something and I'm Chip, a small piece of Chihuahua. Not sure what the other chips are. I'm a friendly little fellow who likes people and dogs, maybe even cats, and I need a home. Remember, good things come in small packages. | |

I'll bet you wish you had hair as shiny as mine. Besides having a sleek black coat I'm well behaved, know some basic commands and walk well on a leash. I'll need exercise, so long walks or a fenced yard would be appreciated. Come to see me and we can talk about it. | |

I was rescued from an abusive owner who hit me. A lot! Consequently, any quick movements toward me make me jumpy. So if there are kids in your family, there are other SPCA dogs for you to adopt. As for me, I'm very friendly, very smart, and very fond of lap sitting. Cute, too, don't you think? | ||

Most of my young life I was kept in a crate all day because my owners didn't have time for me. (Why did they even get a dog?) A nice lady who's rescued many dogs offered to find a good home for me with the help of the SPCA. I'm grateful because she's taught me some basic commands and she's discovered that I'm friendly toward people of all ages as well as dogs and cats. I'll need to be with someone who's home a great deal so I'm not alone ten hours a day. That could make me very "antsy." Do you work at home? Can you? | |

They call me Jenna; I came to the SPCA when I was rescued from an unfit caretaker. Although I can be a bit shy one-on-one with people, I really open up around other dogs! I love to run, so if you are looking for a running partner or an active dog for your family, maybe you'll consider me... | |

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. | |

Don't let the size fool you. I may be little, but I'm a bundle of energy, so don't expect a couch potato/lap dog. We terriers are an inquisitive bunch, wanting to see the world, so I can't promise that I won't try to dig out under your fence if you have one. But I'm a friendly girl with an outgoing personality, and I think you and I can have a lot of fun together. | |

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! |

Hello, everyone. I'm an energetic young fellow with interesting brindle markings. I like kids and I'd also like a fenced yard where they (or anybody) could throw a ball for me to fetch and where I could run around. I think I'll be what you could call a good all-around family dog. | |

Hello. I'm Madison, a shih tzu and what the Chinese called a "lion dog." But you can call me Maddie. The SPCA folks do. I'm friendly with everybody, including other dogs, but little kids and big dogs might be a bit too rough on me. We're a breed known to be affectionate but not demanding. Someone who will make me feel secure would be perfect. You? | |

I'm just a pup, so please excuse me for being shy. I've been through a lot in a short time. I was lost and wandered into a trap that a game warden had set to catch a fox. Boy, was HE surprised! A lot of love and a little patience will get my tail from between my legs and wagging happily as a dog's tail is meant to do. | |

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! | ||

Well, summer is over and 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. | |
