My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Meghan
Video: youtu.be/kTZSysjpFNs
Suspected Breed(s): Retriever mix
Gender: Female
Age: 4-5 years old
Weight: 60 lbs
Personality: Outgoing, funny, playful, goofy, protective, good running partner, energetic
Observations with Dogs: Good with other dogs, but she can be too playful for smaller or lower energy dogs.
Observations with Cats: Much improved behavior with the two cats in her foster home. She’s learning that cats play differently than dogs and might not like to be chased!
Observations with Kids: Meghan’s exuberance would do best in a home without small children. 
House Training Progress: No accidents
Crate Training Progress: Does well in the crate for up to 4 hours in the day. Sleeps in the crate at night.
Location: DC area foster
Rescued From: Columbus County, NC
Additional Information: Unconditional love and loyalty are what awaits Meghan’s new family. This beautiful, sweet girl loves to hang out with her favorite humans and has excellent manners at home. Meghan is a master at play and will play with the two resident dogs until they all tucker out. As much as she enjoys the company, she does not require constant attention. She is content to sit, play, and chew a bone on her own. Meghan is very smart and happy to show you her skills with the commands: sit, come, bathroom, treat, and kennel.  She will also alert you when someone is entering the house. Because she is very treat motivated, Meghan is just at the tip of the iceberg of what she can learn! Meeting new people, especially tall men, can be a little daunting for her at first, but once she warms up, you are her new friend. Meghan would love to live in a home with another dog, ideally in the suburbs with with a space to run and play.  She is very athletic and is a fast runner! Apply today to meet Meghan.



*Meghan was rescued thanks to your generosity on Giving Tuesday 2017. Thank you!

If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon. Apply for a DOG: http://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adoptable-dogs.html

City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties is a foster based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. We focus on local adoptions in DC and the metro area of Maryland and Virginia. CDR&CK has a thorough adoption process in order to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first served model).



Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter (unless specified). We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam prior to adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDR&CK. City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. 
Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, Bordatella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis.



Most cats and dogs will have a house training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained.



We also update our Facebook page daily with new cats and dogs.

Additional adoption info

1. Application: Interested adopters should fill out an application for the cat(s) or dog(s) you are interested in. Only one application is required, and it applies for all cats or dogs listed on your application. If you are interested in adopting both a cat and a dog, you must complete an application for each type of animal.

Important Note Regarding Timing: We screen all applications to find what we believe will be the best environment for each particular cat or dog. If we believe that we currently have a potential match for you, our typical response time is within a week. If you do not receive a response within two weeks, please assume that we have not been able to find a good match. Please do not interpret a lack of response as a belief by City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties that you would not be able to provide a loving home for a cat or dog.

2. Applications Counselor: Approved Applicants will be assigned a volunteer applications counselor, who will review the application and have a brief conversation with each applicant to determine his/her needs and preferences.

3. Reference Checks: If applicable, CDR&CK will call the applicant’s veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and well cared for. CDR&CK will also call personal references listed on the application.

4. Renters/Condo Owners: For renters, CDR&CK will check with an applicant's landlord to ensure that cats and/or dogs are permitted and that the cat or dog of interest wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions. We also review condo association rules regarding pets.
Home Visit: CDR&CK will visit each applicant’s home to see the environment where the cat or dog will live and answer any questions the applicant might have.

5. Adoption Contract: If the applicant is approved for adoption and decides to adopt the cat or dog, CDR&CK and the prospective adopter will enter into an adoption contract. The applicant will be required to pay an adoption fee, which helps cover our costs from spay/neutering (if age appropriate), microchipping, vaccinations and any other veterinary attention needed while in our care.
