Welcome to DAWG's adoptable dogs' page!
 
 DAWG dogs are of good temperament , mixed breed and purebred, who were not adopted at local shelters. They are dogs that may have had medical conditions that the shelter was not able to treat, such as a broken leg or heartworm disease. Or they are dogs that simply have been overlooked because they are plain, shy or older. 

All DAWG dogs are fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered, tested/treated for heartworms, and provided specialty veterinarian services, if necessary. We try to give our dogs the best nurturing and medical care until the right home is found for each one.

Applications are taken at adoption events, by email or fax, and reviewed within approximately 24 hours. All approved applicants and household members are visited in their homes as a prerequisite to adoption.

What is a home visit?  An experienced volunteer brings the dog you would like to adopt to your home, where the volunteer explains basic dog behavior and how to transition the dog to your routine, children and other pets. A home visit gives pending adopters all the time they need to get acquainted with their new dog prior to adoption. Home visits are not inquisitions; they are FUN! Home visits also help a dog become familiar with his/her new people and surroundings prior to Adoption Day.

DAWG places dogs in the metropolitan DC/Baltimore area only. At times we will consider a placement just beyond the DC/Baltimore area, subject to a DAWG volunteer's ability to travel to that location.  If you live outside DAWG's jurisdiction, please support your local rescue organizations that have equally wonderful animals waiting for homes.

We have listed our adoptable dogs first, then our "forever friends" who have found their homes. We also honor the memory of dogs who died before they were adopted ("In Memoriam").  Please note that our "Virtual Adoption" dogs are cared for in loving foster homes and will receive all necessary medical treatments for the rest of their lives.  We encourage readers to help virtual adoption dogs who require extraordinary care for a range of reasons.
 
For more information about any dog, please write us at dawg@dawg-rescue.org. Thank you!
