Adopt Thumper
|
|
Thumper is a goofy boy with a name to match... when he gets excited, his tail goes thump, thump, thump! He is sweet and friendly, and he can't wait to find a home of his own. Thumper is loving with people and well-behaved in the house, but he can be a bit picky about his canine buddies. Thumper was selected to be the next adoption campaign dog because he is a volunteer favorite, and because he has been overlooked for so long. He just hopes that someone will give him the chance to show off what a wonderful dog he is, and will give him the home he deserves. In return, he will be a loyal and faithful friend for life.
To adopt Thumper, please call our adoption line at 703-709-6186 or email doginfo@foha.org.

Adopt Seamus

Seamus here – or Seamus McKitty, as one of the Friends volunteers has nicknamed me. I was found as a stray on – get this – Irish Road. That and my carrot-top coloring likely inspired my luck o’ the Irish Name. And I sure am lucky to have made my way to Friends. It’s been a difficult road, to be sure – the road has not always risen to meet me – guess no one ever said the Irish Prayer for me before. See, I was found as a stray in a rural Virginia county, and I had an injury to my rear left leg – an old fracture that didn’t heal properly. I had icky ear mites setting up camp in my ears and a nasty, nasty cold. After living on the streets, I had yuckies in my belly – I was a mess. Now I’m clean and ick-free. I still limp a little bit, but it doesn’t slow me down from playing with my kitty friends. See, here at Friends, we live together in a communal cattery. No spending my days in a cold, steel cage. At Friends, we have a couch where we can laze the day away with friends, snuggly beds where we can nap. All I need now is a warm lap where I can cuddle purr-manently – a home of my own with a loving family of my own. Now that would be the luck of the Irish for sure!

Finding wonderful new homes for our overlooked adoptables is a team effort, and we could use your help! Here are some ways you can help with our adoption campaign:
-
Help us advertise via communty newspapers, HOA community newsletters, neighborhood watchlists, etc.
-
Hang the Thumper and Molly posters below around your community, at work, and at dog friendly places such as dog parks, pet stores, grooming centers, and veterinary clinics. Also consider other areas such as schools, gyms, locker rooms, grocery stores, workplaces, cafeterias, community boards in the library, and other places you frequent.
-
Donate money to the campaign so that we can advertise in newspapers that have fees.
Ideas and suggestions are always welcome, especially if you can help implement them. With everyone pitching in, we are confident that we will find loving, forever homes for Thumper and Seamus soon.
