Your Afternoon Animal Fix – AdoPtville

If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share for the regular fix please send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. AdoPtville is run by two volunteers who compile these pets weekly from local shelters.

China just arrived in DC this past weekend and she is ready to take the city on! This country bumpkin from South Carolina has transitioned to city life beautifully, and she’s winning hearts everywhere she goes! Naturally affable, China was the trainer’s favorite pup in the overcrowded shelter from which she was rescued. Smart, treat motivated, and eager to please, it’s no wonder she’s a dog trainer’s dream! China LOVES other dogs, as well as people and even cats! She is great with gentle children, too! She’s currently being fostered with two cats and is very respectful. At about 2 years old and 50 lbs., China has the energy to be a great running or hiking buddy, but she just as easily transitions into a cuddly, couch potato at home. With her adorable “bully” looks, she is a wonderful ambassador for bully breeds (though her breed mix is anyone’s guess… perhaps Boxer as well?). She does well in an apartment and as a very social dog, enjoys the dog park and walks in areas where she can meet lots of people and other dogs. It’s hard to imagine how this girl ended up as a stray in rural South Carolina, but she is thanking her lucky stars she has been rescued and is ready to put her past behind her to build a new life in the big city. Can that be with you? If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate, easy-going dog, China is your girl! You can learn more about China and the adoption process through DC PAWS Rescue here.

6-year-old tripod Dani is a truly special cat, with an adventurous past! Originally found in Kosovo and brought to the U.S. (by way of Macedonia!) for medical treatment and adoption, as a three-legged kitten, Dani was adopted and spent 6 years as part of a loving family. Family circumstances have now changed, and Dani is back with his old friends at King Street Cats, but would really like to find a furever home where he can share all the love he has to give. Dani is an affectionate and loving boy with a mellow purr-sonality. His friends at KSC are helping him to safely lose weight – he’s a bit “generous” so needs to slim down slowly to help reduce the pressure on his three paws! Dani will make someone’s home very happy – could it be yours? Find out more about this globe-trotting gentleman here.

***Special Note – We featured fellow KSC kitty Snow back in July (when it was hot, remember?). As a younger cat, Snow sometimes has a tough time being confined to the adoption room, and will really thrive with a family of his own. It would be great for him to find his furever home soon!
