City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue

Hi! I’m Billy! I heard that you’re looking for a dog?

I’m a 1-year-old terrier/hound mix, and I’ve overheard my foster call me a ‘big, loving goofball’. I’m not 100% sure what that means, but here is what I do know about myself:

I am very talented, for instance: I do a signature pony-like prance when I’m excited. It’s very popular with the ladies.

My hobbies include going on walks and spending time outside. I can be independent and play with my Lamb Chop toy on my own, or we can play tug-of-war together! If you need to focus, I will happily accept a Kong filled with peanut butter. My foster says that I’ve ‘been a dream’ to house-train and sleep all night in my crate.

I love playing with my foster’s dog and neighborhood pups. Apparently, I get a little jumpy when I’m excited, but hey, we can’t all be perfect.

I see a squirrel right now, so I have to wrap this up. Here is your official 4-step guide to changing my life (and yours):

1. Admire my photos on this post (done!)
2. Visit my page on the City Dogs and City Kitties website
3. Apply to meet me and realize how awesome I am
4. Adopt me and give me a forever home!

Clear enough? Good. I’ve got a squirrel to take care of.

Billy - out.

Adoptable Nova is sweet, cuddly, and… sometimes she chases her own tail?

When she’s not spinning around in circles, she's probably nearby taking a nap. Nova’s the easiest, cuddliest cat you could ask for! She will completely glue herself to your side (or lap, or chest, or feet… your choice!) and even follow you around the house, too. She’ll chirp when she wants attention and give you the sweetest little headbutts to keep the pets coming.

Bottom line: she’s chill and wants to cuddle, but will also keep you entertained. Oh, and she has not successfully caught her tail….yet...

Visit our website (link in bio) to learn more about Nova!

pspspsps Nova (and friends Chili, Silver, Tangeri, Millie, Mittens, and Venus) will be at our Virtual Cat Meet-and-Greet live on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube at 3 pm on Sunday, June 7th!!! Since we don’t have a physical shelter, this is a great way to meet the cats and ask questions!

At our Virtual Cat Meet & Greet, you will meet some of our adoptable (and adorable) cats: Chili, Silver, Tangeri, Nova, Millie, Mittens, and Venus. During these live events, foster families will introduce their foster cats and be available for questions. Because City Dogs & City Kitties is a foster-based organization, and we do not have a physical shelter, this is your chance to casually meet some of our kitties! ⁠

Hi guys, Rocco here! I just wanted to share about my perfect day!

It all starts with waking up from a long snooze in my crate, followed by clocking into my shift at the neighborhood watch. There have been some wild squirrels threatening my territory, and I have to ensure they don't get too close!

Then, we go on a nice long walk. Ensuring that we make a few stops to sniff, but not too many, I want to get my exercise in! Maybe I'll let you stop and take in the view, but in my opinion, the view is me!

When we get back, I'll need a nice long nap in the sunshine. Bonus points if you get down with me for some snuggles!

While this is my perfect day, really any day will be perfect if I get to spend it with my forever family. Could that be you? Apply today at: https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adopt-foster/adopt-a-dog/ &page=shelterluv_wrap_1665197452565%2Fembed%2Fanimal%2FCDCK-A-28349

Hi, I'm Coco — 2½ years old, 40 pounds, 75% play, 25% snuggle, and 100% certain you smell interesting. 🐾

My résumé: expert sniffy walker, undefeated tug-of-war champion (citation needed), and full-time belly rub recipient. Car windows must stay DOWN — I have a lot of smells to review and not enough nose hours in the day.

I'm smart (I know "sit," "come," "up," and "down") and house-trained, thank you very much. I also come with a built-in sound system: groans, grumbles, and important playtime commentary. You're welcome.

Full disclosure: loud noises make me nervous, so I'd love a quieter home with a fenced yard and a patient human to help me find my brave.

In return? A goofy adventure buddy who takes playtime AND naptime extremely seriously. It's called balance.

I've been waiting a long time. Maybe for you. ❤️

Apply to meet me!
