Seriously. I love this girl. Adoptable Queenie is looking for a home, and she’s in the northern Virginia area. Check her out at the Friends of Homeless Animals website.
I’m back with more adorable adoptables from Petfinder! Today, I’m sharing four fantastic adoptables who are ready for some football. (They’re all in the northern Virginia area, so I guess they’ll be cheering for the Ravens this weekend.)
These great photos are part of the big Super Dog Sunday event happening through February 3. (Get your photos in now!)
Up first, meet Bailey from northern Virginia.

For this round of Blog the Change for Animals, I wanted to highlight an organization that has been helping animals since before I was a twinkle in my parents’ eyes.
Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) in northern Virginia has been serving the DC area since 1973. Last year, FOHA gave me a wonderful place to volunteer and a new pup in the form of Tavish. This year, FOHA celebrates its 40th anniversary. Continue reading
Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) recently posted two great videos of cats and dogs looking for a home. I already shared the felines. Today, it’s the canines’ turn!
Too. Cute.

Three local rescue groups in the northern Virginia area (including HART and FOHA, who you may remember from such awesome dogs as Bella and Tavish) participated in a massive Pilots ‘N Paws event on Saturday. The event was called the “Dog is My Copilot” Rescue Flyaway, and it helped save over 300 dogs.
As part of this flyaway event, more than one hundred dogs were brought from high-kill shelters in North Carolina to groups in northern Virginia. The dogs have now been placed in foster homes and shelters with no-kill pledges. Pretty cool, huh?
I have a special video to share with you today – it’s from the Asheville Humane Society, one of the groups in North Carolina helping to send these lucky pups on their way to northern Virginia and other destinations. (Insert obligatory tissue warning here.)
Is it raining on your face too? It just so happens to be a pretty soggy day here, so perhaps everyone will just think I was outside too long.
As you may remember, I adopted Tavish from a local rescue group called Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA). It just so happens that FOHA is hosting a big event on September 29 (one week from today), so I wanted to tell you about it. It’s called Barktoberfest: A Purrfect Pet Celebration, and it’s going to be lots of fun. If you’re in the DC or northern Virginia area, consider stopping by!
(Bonus plug: I help with the FOHA Twitter account, and I’ll be live-tweeting from the event. What are you waiting for? Go follow!)
Tavish says... support FOHA!
In addition to food, vendors, and the usual festival-type stuff, there are a ton of great events planned, including:
Even better, oodles of adoptable FOHA dogs and cats will be at the event. Come out and meet them!
For more info, visit the Barktoberfest website.
As you know, I often feature adoptable pets from local rescue groups. Today, I’m participating in Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week (through September 23), when Petfinder and others raise awareness about the many deserving pets who may be overlooked by potential adopters.
So, this time I’m sharing a few dogs that would fall into that so-called “less adoptable” category. (Or, as I like to call it, the Super Awesome category.) Today’s adorable adoptables are from Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) and City Dogs Rescue (CDR). Ready to meet this week’s featured pups, Matt and Lily? Here we go…
