Every week, I’ll be featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups. (I usually post this feature on Sunday, but a combination of holiday parties and a stomach bug resulted in a delay this time around.) This week, I’m sharing adorable adoptables from the Humane Society of Fairfax County (HSFC) and A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (A Forever Home). Ready to meet this week’s featured pups, Desi and Ringo? Here we go…
First up, meet Desi! This cute Chihuahua is approximately 7 years old. Here’s his bio from A Forever Home:
“Hello! My name is Desi and I am a purebred Chihuahua and
weigh only 7 pounds. I was rescued from a place called a puppy mill. I lived in
a cage 24/7. I received little to no socialization so I need a lot of patience to understand that people are okay. I just learned what toys are and I LOVE to
play with my foster brothers and sisters. My foster mom and her dogs are
teaching me what it is like to be a family dog.
In time I am sure I will
overcome my fear of people and the outdoors, but I am going to need a family to
show me lots of patience. I will need a family to continue my socialization, to
teach me that I do not need to be so fearful with strangers. I am going to need
someone to keep me on a schedule so that I know what to expect and help me get
house trained and crate trained. I am looking for a family with older or no
children, as the little kids are very noisy and intimidating for a nervous guy
like me. I’m hoping my family will have another small dog as they could help
show me the ropes.
Can you be that family, to help me learn what it is like to
be free and live without always being in fear? It may take me time, but I
promise once I learn to trust you I will be able to return your love ten fold.“

A Forever Home also has a weekly adoption event at the PetCo in Chantilly. For the address and to find out more info, click here.
(If you have your eye on a specific pet, please email for information
first – not all pets will be at the weekly event. However, there are a
lot of awesome pets in need of homes, so if you’re in the neighborhood,
stop by and meet some of them!)
Up next, meet Ringo! This handsome pup is a Husky mix looking for a home. Here’s his bio from HSFC:
“Ringo is a star for sure! This beautiful boy is only a year
old and already a favorite of our farm.
He’s very sweet, loves to play, is
wonderful with other dogs and has personality plus. His longhair coat is tan
and white and he knows he’s handsome.
Come and meet Ringo and make him the star
of your home.
Attributes: SUPERSTAR!”
Is this star the one for you? If so, visit the HSFC website for more information. To view the other pets available for adoption at HSFC, click here.
Do you have room in your home (and your heart) for one of these handsome guys? Then contact HSFC or A Forever Home. If you know someone else who might be in the market for an awesome companion, please share this post. Let’s find some homes for Desi and Ringo!

Those two sure are cute. Desi looks like such a happy dog. Sure hope they find a home really soon. Have a great Tuesday.
They are so darn cute, but they both look like super stars to me!
Sooo many adorable pups out there. Wish I could rescue them all 🙁
Ringo is SOO cute!!
Pretty kids. Hope they find a home for the holidays! Tweeted. Thanks for featuring them.
I hope Desi and Ringo find their forever homes soon. Wouldn't that be a nice Christmas gift!
What a great idea… We loved the penguins by the way! I've always been crazy about them! I can't help but giggle when I watch them walk!
Those guys are sooo cute! One day we will add another to our pack, but not until we find a bigger place to live.
My fingers are crossed too!
Kirsten – Same here!
Marianne – Agreed. The way they walk cracks me up!
Stacy – Totally understand. We were the same way – though now we have more space and still need to jump on that second dog thing.
Desi is gorgeous! I just got a second dog or I'd nab him in a heartbeat.
