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.
Hello, all. This week’s AdoPtville is a special one. As many of you know Wagtime founder and co-owner Lisa Schreiber died unexpectedly last week. Lisa was a friend of this AdoPtville volunteer, and was a tireless animal advocate, fostering countless dogs at her two Wagtime locations and facilitating many adoptions over the years. Wagtime also donated to and / or fostered for, at Lisa’s direction, essentially every major rescue organization in the DC area, including the Humane Rescue Alliance, Gloucester Matthews Humane Society, and Rural Dog Rescue, and of course Lucky Dog Animal Rescue, with whom Lisa had a close and longtime relationship. While Lisa’s daughter and family were the light of her life, her rescue work was incredibly important to her. I can think of no more fitting tribute to my friend than sharing the stories of, and hopefully helping to find forever homes for, the 6 Lucky Dogs who remain in foster care at Wagtime – Lisa’s Lucky Dogs.

Adalay is a young (about 10 months) 35-lb. Shepherd mix. This sweetheart is playful and affectionate, but quite vocal, so would probably be a little loud for an apartment or condo. Sometimes a bit of a shy girl, Adalay is working on building her confidence, so a home with another dog who can show her the way would be ideal. Learn more about pretty Adalay and apply to adopt her here.

Austin is a Wagtime staff favorite (teacher’s pet) for his affectionate attitude! At about 70 lbs and 3 years old, bulldog mix Austin would be a great companion, who gets along with other dogs and loves his humans, and who will benefit from and really appreciate daily exercise and snuggles!
