My story

Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   If Summer could tell us her story, I'm sure we would be in tears. She was found tied by a short leash, to a chicken coop which had one lone rooster inside with no hens in sight. Doesn't take much to imagine what was likely going on there. She was clearly not cared for, her fur in horrible mats, and her food bowl was full of chicken feed. Our rescue angels in NC saved her and immediately had her groomed. She has the cutest freckles! Unfortunately, to no one's surprise, she tested positive for heartworms. She is due to finish her treatment at the end of May and we would love to find her a loving foster or forever home to help her heal, inside and out. We believe Summer is 2-ish yrs old and weighs 20 lbs.   **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org. Upcoming adoption events:   Saturday Jul 5th 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax     Saturday Jul 12th 12 - 4 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston     Saturday Jul 19th 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax     Saturday Jul 26th 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280 Hunnters Wood Plaza; Reston         We are always desperate for foster homes, now more than ever. If you are interested in fostering, please complete an application... unless you are a previous adopter/foster, then you can just contact us via phone (703-988-2608) or email (adopt@muttloverescue.org) to tell us which dog you want to foster!      For information on sponsoring this dog, please write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.   WE NEED FOSTER HOMES! FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE EMAIL ADOPT@MUTTLOVERESCUE.ORG. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/muttloverescue    Follow us on Twitter: @Muttlove_Rescue July 2, 2025, 1:00 pm
