Canines & Kitties Rescue
🐾Canines & Kitties Rescue is an 501c3 animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing homeless Dogs & Cats in the DMV area. 🐾

🐾 Meet Arlo – The Bashful Baller 🌞🎾
At just 7 months old and 22 pounds, Arlo is the definition of a gentle soul. This sweet boy is a bit shy at first, but give him a little time (and maybe a tennis ball or two), and you’ll start to see the real magic.
Arlo is still learning that the world isn’t so scary, so he’ll need a forever home with another young, confident pup to show him the ropes. He thrives with a four-legged BFF who can help him feel safe, be silly, and chase tennis balls in the sunshine. ☀️
He’s not currently in a home with kids, but we think he’d be just fine with dog-savvy kids 8+ who understand that slow and steady wins Arlo’s heart. 💛
Arlo is still a baby at heart and used to having his foster mom around during the day, so he’ll need an adopter who’s home a good portion of the time to keep building his confidence and routine — no exceptions!
If you’ve got a patient heart, a playful pup, and a backyard ready for some zoomies, Arlo might just be your perfect match. 🐶💫

🚨 SMALL DOG ALERT! 🚨 MVP incoming! Already spayed, sweet as sugar, and ready to steal your heart.
Meet Oakley – this 11-month-old, 22 lb stunner is basically a walking serotonin boost. We think she might be a Rat Terrier/Feist mix, but who knows—she’s perfect and that’s all that matters.
✅ Loves every human she meets
✅ Great with dogs
✅ Possibly cat-agnostic (TBD)
✅ Potty pro – no accidents here!
✅ Crate trained (2-3 hours max)
✅ VIP-level snuggler and people-pleaser
Oakley is still learning leash manners, so for now she needs a fenced yard to get her zoomies out. She’d thrive with another playful pup and a family that isn’t gone all day—because she’s got a lot of love to give and prefers not to give it to an empty house.
Spayed ✔️
Vaccinated ✔️
Microchipped ✔️
Cute? OBVIOUSLY.
Apply now to bring home this pint-sized bundle of perfection. Oakley’s ready to be your forever MVP 🏆🐾

🚗 Transport Help Needed! 🚗
Momma Salami needs a lift this weekend! We're looking for a volunteer to give this sweet girl a ride from Brunswick, MD to the Mount Purrnon Cat Cafe and Wine Bar either Saturday or Sunday—anytime that works for you! 🙃
She’s packed, ready, and excited to charm everyone she meets. Can you be her chauffeur?
Drop us a message if you can help! 💜🐾

👑💋 Little Queen Trash Mouth (and no, we still can’t believe that was her name either) has officially been adopted from the café today! Long may she reign in her forever castle — with treats, snuggles, and zero judgment for her majestic name. 👑🐾
Happy tails, Your Majesty! 💅🐱

Church is waiting (ok fine, maybe not so patiently) for his forever human to arrive at the Mount Purrnon Cat Cafe and Wine Bar. ⛪🐈⬛ He’s already claimed a pew, practiced his best judgmental stare, and is ready to bless your life with his holy sass and purrs. Come meet him—before he decides to smite us all. 🙏😼

We love a good foster fail — and Ruby’s story is one for the books. 🐾 From literal death row to forever spoiled, her foster family did what we secretly hope every foster does… they fell head over paws in love and made her part of the family. 💕 No better ending. No better beginning. Welcome home, Ruby! 🏡✨

✈️ Even superheroes need a break… and so do our fosters! 🏖️
That’s where YOU come in 👇
We’re looking for temporary fosters to help cover a few vacation gaps:
🐾 Audi needs a temp foster from 8/29–9/1
🐾 Parker needs one from 8/15–8/23 and 9/27–10/4
Both pups are sweethearts who just need a cozy place to crash for a bit. Think of it like Airbnb… but for dogs… and you’re the host… and you don’t get paid… BUT you do get tail wags and endless love. 💕
📩 Apply to foster (even short term!) here:

Please share – and help our dogs (and their fosters!) get a little R&R. 🐶❤️

🚨 WE’RE BEGGING, Y’ALL – ROCKY NEEDS A FOSTER ASAP! 🚨
No applications. No inquiries. Just silence. And poor Rocky is over here wagging his tail like, “What gives?!”
Meet Rocky – a 1-year-old, 50 lb goofball who’s 100% good vibes and ready to zoom into your heart. We think he’s a Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix (we’re not breed psychic), but what we do know is he’s downright AWESOME.
✅ Dog-friendly? Yes – he lives to play.
✅ Kid-approved? Yes – currently living with children ages 5 and 8!
✅ House-trained? You betcha.
✅ Chill? Not really – he’s all energy and fun!
Rocky’s current foster dog is over his puppy energy, so he needs a new home with someone who gets the playful lifestyle. Ideal setup? A young playful pup + fenced yard + someone around during the day = Happy Rocky!
Let’s find this sweet, bouncy boy a foster or foster-to-adopt home where he can truly shine. He’s got so much love to give – he just needs someone to give him a chance.

JK Nachos foster family is now his forever family 😍😍😍
🌮 Meet Nacho — but don’t get it twisted, he is your dog.
This 30-lb snack is about a year old, and we think he’s a Beagle/Chihuahua mix, but honestly? He’s just 100% adorable mystery meat. Nacho is sweet, snuggly, and will attempt the full lap-dog life even if your lap is already full (he says make room).
He’s leash-savvy and house-trained, doesn’t chew things he shouldn’t (gold star energy ✨), and hasn’t had any accidents in his foster home. His one weakness? Squirrels and bunnies. He sees one and suddenly it’s Fast & Furious: Backyard Drift.
Nacho isn’t a huge fan of car rides (yet), but with a little patience and a lot of treats, he’s working on it. His ideal vibe? A walk, a cuddle, and then chilling at your feet like the loyal little chip he is.
Ready to spice up your life? 🌶 Apply to adopt Nacho — before someone else scoops him up!

⛱️TEMP FOSTER NEEDED: AUGUST 15–23 ⛱️
They say good things come in small packages... like diamonds 💎 or if you're more into the furry, wiggly, four-legged kind—meet Parker!
Parker flew in all the way from Puerto Rico thanks to some rescue magic, a dedicated team, and a volunteer who literally hand-carried this little gem onto the plane. Now he's living his best life and just needs a cozy temp home while his foster is away!
Parker is:
🐶 A high-energy lovebug
🚪 Learning to ring the bell to go potty (genius, right?)
🐾 Crate trained and doing great with housebreaking
👶 Kid-friendly
🐕 Dog-loving
💃 A full-body tail-wiggler
He’s still very much a baby, so he needs someone who’s home a good chunk of the day to keep up with his training. Can you give Parker a place to crash (and probably zoom) for a few days?
Message us if you can help!

🚨 FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED ASAP FOR ROCKY! 🚨
Meet Rocky – a 1-year-old, 50 lb bundle of joy who’s ready to bring nonstop fun and love into your home! We think he might be a Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix (just a guess!), but what we do know is that this boy is AWESOME.
Rocky is playful, happy, and full of love. He adores playing with the resident dog in his current foster home, but his high energy is a bit much for the older, more chill pup. He’d thrive in a home with another young, playful dog and a large fenced yard to run around in.
He’s amazing with kids—currently living with children ages 5 and 8—and would do best in a home where someone is around during the day. Rocky isn’t suited to being alone for long stretches; he loves having people nearby.
Let’s find Rocky a foster (or foster-to-adopt) who can match his energy and give him the attention and companionship he craves. He’s truly a special pup who just needs the right environment to shine! ✨
📩 Apply to foster or foster-to-adopt here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/LOVP/Dog
Please share to help Rocky find his perfect match! 🐾
