We just received the tiniest little 9-week-old white fuzzy puppy who was surrendered to us.

The good news? 🎉 He already has a wonderful foster home lined up!

The only thing standing between this fluffball and his foster family is a ride to Crownsville, MD.

🕒 Timing & details are flexible
📍 Chantilly, VA → Crownsville, MD

Let’s get this baby home 🥹🐾

🚨 FOSTER HOME STILL NEEDED – OLAF 🚨

✨ Olaf is still waiting and urgently needs a foster ✨

We have an urgent foster plea for Olaf, a sweet pup currently in a very small, rural shelter that is completely full. He needs out ASAP.

Olaf is very shy and timid, but not mean in any way. He has never attempted to bite and allows shelter staff to pick him up—he’s just scared and overwhelmed by the shelter environment. What he really needs is a calm place to decompress and learn that the world isn’t so scary.

🩷 Ideal foster home for Olaf:
• A home with a confident resident dog to help build his confidence
• Children 10 years and older due to his fearful/shy nature
• A patient, calm environment
• A fenced yard (he has never been on a leash)
• Someone home a good portion of the day to work on socialization

✨ Meet Olaf:
🐶 Olaf — 1–2 years old, ~22 lbs
This boy truly just needs a chance to feel safe and loved.

You could be the reason Olaf finally feels safe. ❤️

He much prefers a family to snuggle with. (And honestly… same.)

🚨 FOSTER HOMES NEEDED! 🚨

We have an urgent foster plea for three dogs in a very small, rural shelter that is now completely full. These sweet pups need out ASAP.

All three are very shy and timid, but not mean in any way. They have never attempted to bite and allow shelter staff to pick them up—they’re just scared and overwhelmed in the shelter environment. They do not need to be fostered together.

🩷 Ideal foster homes:
• A home with a confident resident dog to help build their confidence
• Children 10 years and older due to their fearful/shy nature
• A patient, calm environment where they can decompress and learn the world isn’t so scary
• A fenced yard as these dogs have never been on a leash.
• Someone at home a good portion of the day to work on socialization.

✨ Meet the pups:
Olaf — 1–2 years old, ~22 lbs
Elsa — 1–2 years old, ~17 lbs
Anna — 1–2 years old, ~18 lbs

These pups truly just need a chance to feel safe.

🚨 URGENT FOSTER PLEA – WE NEED HELP ASAP 🚨

We have several sweet dogs who desperately need foster homes so we can save them from the shelter. Every single one of them is social, loving, and just waiting for someone to open their home (and heart).

🎄 Kringle & Holly
Pocket pitties
Holly: ~22 lbs
Kringle: ~30 lbs
Came in together but do not appear bonded
Dog friendly
Very social and sweet
Used to being around other dogs, so their foster home must have another dog

🎀 Scarlett
Chi/Feist mix
~15 lbs
Dog friendly
Super social and sweet
High energy – would do best in a foster home with another young, playful dog to help burn off that puppy energy

🐶 Beagle Mix (Henry)
~30 lbs
Has been living in an outdoor pen because his people no longer have time for him 💔
Very sweet with people and absolutely starving for attention

Let’s be real — we wish we had the time (and budget 😅) to send a holiday card to all 32,000 of our amazing followers. If we could, we absolutely would… because we love every single one of you. ❤️🎄

But if we did send one, we imagine it would look a little something like this — featuring some of our adorable adoptables in their holiday best:

🎁 Pups: Jake, Samantha, Lizzy, Max, Mia, and Goose
🎄 Kitties: Buddy, Noel, and Zinna

Consider this our virtual holiday card from our rescue family to yours.
Thank you for supporting us, sharing our posts, fostering, adopting, donating, and helping us save lives all year long. 🧡🐾

Happy Holidays from Canines & Kitties!
