Adorable adoptables in northern Virginia: Heidi & Rhapsody

Every week, I’ll be featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups.  This week, I’m sharing adorable adoptables from Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA). Ready to meet this week’s pups, Heidi & Rhapsody? Here we go…

First up, meet Heidi!  This adorable Basset Hound/Black and Tan Coonhound mix is approximately one year old. I met her at an adoption event a few weeks ago, and she’s a real sweetheart! Here’s her bio from FOHA:

“I may be short in stature, but I make up for it with personality plus!

In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a lap dog extraordinaire, and will sit happily with you for as long as you like. I’m friendly and fun-loving. I get along famously with other dogs! Maybe it’s my height, you know, non-threatening and all.

I’m great with people of all ages. I’m very loving and will show you by giving you kisses whenever I get a chance. I love riding in the car, and I’m such a good girl I always get to go to PetsMart or other fun outings. But what I really want is a new home – someone to frolic and play with, and best of all someone to love.”

Do you have the perfect home for this happy hound?

Up next, meet Rhapsody!  This Doberman mix is approximately 3 years old. Here’s her bio from FOHA:

Some of the most talented individuals come from less than ideal situations and Miss Rhapsody is no exception. This young girl had a tough start but a kind woman saw her potential and saved her life.

Rhapsody is an athlete. She also has stunning good looks, a heart of gold, and will even occasionally sing her own little song. This long-legged beauty absolutely loves a good romp in the playyard and would love to find a home with a yard or maybe a daily running partner. Miss Rhapsody has been working on her patience and will sit nicely for her leash to be attached. Once she’s all leashed up though, she is certainly ready to go. Daily exercise and positive reinforcement of leash manners will be very important for her.

Once she gets her exercise, Rhapsody is ready for lovin’. She settles in next to her person and loves having her chest and neck rubbed. When invited, she even hops right into the back of an SUV and makes herself comfortable for her pet time. Did I mention she’s smart too?? Miss Rhapsody is very food motivated which makes her very trainable. So, with Rhapsody, we have beauty, brains, energy, and love. What more could you ask for?? Please consider meeting this black and tan lady and she’ll show you how wonderful a Dobie can be!
