With your help we save 800+ cats & dogs from under-resourced shelters each year. Many of our rescues were just hours from euthanasia. Join us!

Adopt, foster, donate, volunteer 🐶♥🐱 Our Mission: City Dogs & City Kitties rescues adoptable dogs and cats in overcrowded and high-kill shelters, where resources are severely limited. We offer a lifeline to as many of these wonderful animals as possible. Sadly, many of the dogs and cats that we take in are just days — and sometimes hours — away from being euthanized for no reason other than lack of space. By finding these animals permanent and loving homes in the DC metropolitan area, we can enrich lives of humans and their pets. We welcome your help in any capacity, through volunteering, fostering, adopting, sponsoring and/or donating.

That big goofball is Billy - a 1-year-old terrier/hound mix.

Billy loves everything about his life - from meeting new people to doing his signature pony-like prance when he gets excited. This joyful guy loves walks, hanging out outside, and playing with his Lamb Chop or doing tug-or-war.

While Billy loves being around his people, he is not one to constantly demand attention and is perfectly happy relaxing nearby when you are busy. Billy is easygoing with both people and other dogs, house trained, and sleeps through the night in his crate.

Billy is ready to find his forever family who will guide him through life and embrace his joyfulness!

Apply today to meet him:
