🚨 Foster (or even better... Foster-to-Adopt) Needed for Hendrix! 🚨

Honestly, Hendrix is starting to take this personally. 😹

Meet Hendrix — a 3-year-old orange goofball with a big personality, zero sense of personal space, and a serious commitment to being involved in absolutely everything you're doing. Need a bathroom buddy? Hendrix. Watching TV? Hendrix. Trying to work? Also Hendrix.

This handsome boy loves people, attention, and playtime. He'd be perfectly happy as your one and only feline king, but could also live with another young, playful cat who can keep up with his shenanigans.

Hendrix does need to stay on a special urinary diet for life, but honestly, that's a small price to pay for this level of entertainment and companionship.

So what's the hold up? Hendrix is ready to stop paying rent in foster care and start living the spoiled house-cat life he deserves. 🧡🐾

Foster or foster-to-adopt home needed ASAP! Who's ready to give this orange cutie-pie a couch to conquer? 😸🏡

🚨 CHI-NADO ALERT: DOUBLE THE CHIHUAHUA, DOUBLE THE SASS-ATTITUDE 🚨

Apparently the Chihuahua Distribution System got confused and sent us a two-for-one special. Meet Coco & Tootsie — a bonded pair of tiny queens who refuse to be separated. Honestly? We wouldn't dare.

🐾 Coco is the sensible one. The mature one. The responsible adult in the relationship... until she randomly gets the zoomies and reminds everyone she's still got a wild side.

🐾 Tootsie is a professional attention seeker. Tail wagging? Constantly. Looking for pets? Always. Personal space? Never heard of her.

These adorable little besties:
✔️ Must be adopted together
✔️ Good with kids
✔️ Good with other dogs
✔️ House trained
✔️ Crate trained
✔️ Experts in running your household from the comfort of a dog bed

If you're only looking for one Chihuahua, keep scrolling. These girls come as a package deal, like tacos and margaritas, or bad decisions and good stories.

Adopt Coco & Tootsie. Your lap has room for both. ❤️🐾

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Canines & Kitties! 🐾💙

To all the dog dads, stepdads, foster dads, and dads who swore they "didn't want a dog" and are now sharing their pillow with one—today's for you.

And if you've been dreaming of becoming a dog dad... Dash is ready to make it weird.
Meet Dash! A 9-month-old, 64-pound hunk of boxer lips and questionable personal boundaries. Seriously, look at those jowls. Those lips were designed for smooching, stealing snacks, and staring deeply into your soul while you're trying to use the bathroom.
Dash loves zoomies, wrestling with his dog friends, collecting toys like a tiny dragon, and cuddling up after a hard day of being ridiculously handsome. He's social, goofy, and fully committed to being your new shadow.

Dash would love a playful dog sibling, but mostly he just wants a human to obsess over. Because he's still a puppy, he'll need someone home a good portion of the day to keep teaching him how to channel all that giant-boy energy.

No cats. No young kids. Just you, Dash, and a relationship that progresses way too fast.

Apply today and make this Father's Day the one where a giant pair of boxer lips starts paying attention to you 24/7. 😘🐶

🐾🍪 Meet Oreo! Adopt Oreo! 🍪🐾

Just look at that face! Oreo is serving up maximum cuteness in a perfectly snack-sized package.

Oreo is looking for a home where he can feel safe, loved, and understood. He would do best in an adult-only home, although respectful teenagers may be a good fit too. Oreo can be a little insecure at times and appreciates people who understand that trust takes time and that personal space is important.

Once he feels comfortable, Oreo's sweet personality shines through. He just needs a family willing to let him settle in at his own pace and show him that the world isn't such a scary place after all.

If you're looking for a loyal little companion and are willing to give him the patience he deserves, Oreo may just be your perfect match. ❤️🐾

✨ Meet Bambi! ✨

10 pounds. 1 year old. 100% tiny diva. 💅🐾

Bambi is a Chihuahua mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for other dogs. In fact, she's looking for a forever home with a young, playful pup because playtime is basically her full-time job.

Like many little dogs, Bambi takes a minute to decide if you're worthy of her friendship. She may bark and puff herself up at first, but it's all talk—this girl is much more sass than spice. 🌶️😂

Once she knows she's safe, Bambi is sweet, smart, and incredibly loyal. She just needs a little patience and a chance to settle in.

Because she's a tiny queen with boundaries, any kids in the home should be 12+ and dog-savvy enough to respect her space. No forced cuddles, dress-up sessions, or surprise pick-ups, please.

Looking for a playful sidekick with a little Chihuahua attitude? Bambi might just be your girl. ❤️

Sharing a sad update on Miss Noodles

Yesterday evening, we said goodbye to our most precious foster kitty, Miss Noodles. 🧡💔🌈

Almost exactly one year ago, this sweet orange senior came to us from a rural shelter. She was nothing but bones, weighing only 3 pounds. She was deaf and didn’t have a single toof. For over six months, we worked with veterinarians and specialists searching for answers.

Then Noodles met her fairy godfather, Dr. AJ Ashkan, who diagnosed her with FIP. With treatment and medication, Miss Noodles began to thrive. She gained weight, ate like a champ, and finally started feeling better. We were so hopeful.

But rescue doesn’t always get a happy ending. Neurological FIP took a devastating toll on her little body. Despite anti-seizure medications and every effort to help her, the seizures couldn’t be controlled, and they became too much for her frail old body to endure.

So we did the kindest thing we could—we let her go.

During her final year, Noodles lived in two loving foster homes where she was spoiled with snuggles, endless love, and her favorite treat, Churus. She slept in bed with the people she loved and was often caught snuggling with the dogs.

FIP was once considered a death sentence for cats, but today, thanks to research and treatment, 85% of cats can achieve remission and go on to live wonderful lives.

In Noodles’ honor, please consider fostering or adopting an FIP kitty who may be overlooked in an overcrowded shelter. FIP is not contagious, and education gives these cats a chance.

We love you, Noodles. You were so special, with the sweetest soul and the most purfect personality. We wish we had so much more time with you. Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🐾

We are SOOO HAPPY TO REPORT- all of these precious souls have found fosters and will be SAFE!!!! Arrival this weekend! 🤩🤩🤩

🚨 URGENT! DOGS & PUPPIES IN DANGER! 🚨

Our shelter partners have been calling us nonstop this morning. ☎️ They are FULL, and heartbreaking decisions may soon have to be made. 💔

By fostering or adopting just ONE of these precious souls, you’re not only saving that dog—you’re also creating space for another life to have a chance. 🐾❤️

🐶 Dogs #1-4: Young Adult Chihuahuas
• All males
• Owner sadly passed away, leaving them with nowhere to go 😭
• Friendly and walk beautifully on a leash
• Can be fostered individually but need a home with another dog since they’ve never lived alone
• Will be vaccinated, dewormed, and neutered before arrival

🐾 Puppies #5-8: 8-Week-Old Puppies
• ALL GIRLS
• Mom is reportedly a 30-pound, longer-haired dog resembling an Aussie mix
• Sweet, friendly puppies
• Will receive their first puppy vaccine and dewormer
• Due to age and vaccine status, they must have a private yard and cannot go to apartments or condos
• Can be fostered individually if another dog is in the home or adopted in pairs

🏡 FOSTER OR ADOPT OFF TRANSPORT OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR ALL!

⚠️ They will NOT be saved unless people open their homes. We have no facility or shelter building. We are a completely foster-based rescue.

📍 We serve Northern Virginia, Maryland, DC, and parts of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. You must be within our service area to access our veterinary partners.

❤️ Our rescue provides ALL medical care—you provide the love.

📝 Apply to foster or adopt and learn more about our organization at:
caninesandkittiesrescue.org

❌ We do NOT release shelter information, as it is out of state. Transport is provided only through our rescue directly to approved foster or adoptive homes.

‼️ COMMENTING “I’ll take one!” IS NOT SUFFICIENT. You MUST submit an application to be considered. Approved fosters or adopters may then text their adoption coordinator.

Please share. Their lives truly depend on it. 🙏🐾❤️

🚨 TUESDAY TANTRUM ALERT 🚨

Seriously, friends... Sassy is STILL looking for a foster (or forever) home. At this point, it's getting ridiculous. 🤦‍♀️

What's a girl gotta do? Learn another trick? Start paying rent? File an official complaint with management? 🐶

Meet Sassy! ❤️

✨ 1 year old
✨ 38 pounds of pure fun
✨ Loves babies, toddlers, and kids
✨ Dog-friendly and cat-friendly
✨ House-trained and crate-trained
✨ Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to roll

Sassy loves dog friends and playdates but would prefer to be the queen of her own castle when it comes to living arrangements. 👑

She's been working with one of our amazing trainers and has made incredible progress. Smart? Check. Sweet? Check. Ready for her next chapter? DOUBLE CHECK.

This girl has everything going for her except a place to call home. Let's fix that, friends. Share, foster, adopt, or tag someone looking for the best sidekick around.
