My story

Meet Angel – Your New Best Friend! Looking for a gentle, friendly, and playful companion? Meet Angel, a staff favorite who wins hearts with his soft eyes, relaxed body, and affectionate nature. From the moment you meet Angel, you`ll notice his calm and welcoming demeanor. He greets people with gentle tail wags and a sweet, easygoing charm. Whether he`s leaning in for pets or walking politely on a leash, Angel thrives on human connection and is always ready for your next adventure. Angel loves to play—whether it`s with toys or engaging with his human friends. He’s the kind of dog who’ll chase after a toy, bring it back (well… drop it nearby), and look up at you with that “Let’s go again!” expression. When it’s mealtime, Angel does get a little excited—he really loves his food! We recommend giving him space while eating or when enjoying long-lasting treats, just to make him feel safe and secure. Angel also has experience living with another dog and recently had a positive meet-and-greet with a female pup at our shelter. He started with a little curiosity and quickly shifted into playful mode, showing appropriate body language and a willingness to make new canine friends. We recommend a slow introduction with any resident dogs and, as always, a family meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a great match for everyone. Angel has had some GI issues, but he is doing much better now that he is being fed a special food. He also tested positive for heartworm, so he will need a supportive home while he undergoes treatment, and luckily for his adopter, our shelter will cover the cost of the heartworm treatment. Angel would thrive in a home that offers him love, consistency, and a bit of guidance. A few training sessions would help him shine even brighter, but his loving personality is already the star of the show. If you`re ready to add a little more joy, fun, and affection to your life, Angel is waiting to meet you. Come see why he’s already stolen our hearts—you might just fall for him too. This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!Be sure to check the `shelter information` box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lort

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Angel, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
