Ginny
McLean, VABreed: Standard Poodle
Weight: 50 lbs
Age: 1 year old puppy
Gender: Female
Hi, Ginny is my first standard poodle. I’ve had rescue greyhounds my entire life. Ginny is pretty laid back for a poodle youngster. She was the last of her litter to find a home. She can be tentative about new people and situations, but quickly becomes friendly and excited once she knows someone is safe. She loves playing with other poodles, and most other dogs who are on the small to medium side and play well. Her best friends include a Westie and a mini poodle. Ginny has a large, fenced back yard, but also enjoys long walks. My son really loves dogs and loves to help with her enrichment activities and to play fetch, tug, do training. We are all long-time dog lovers and hope to find appropriate playmates for Ginny!

Weight: 35 lbs
Age: 1 year old puppy
Gender: Male
Hello! My name is Maddie and I am local to the Arlington area. We rescued our shepherd mix puppy Murphy in mid November 2024. He is really smart and loves all people and dogs. We really tried to build his confidence with puppy socialization class early on, and it worked. Murphy now loves to play! He loves to chase and romp around, sometimes can be vocal but always in an effort to have some fun. We love the idea of structured play dates within a dog community.

Bodhi
Arlington, VABreed: Golden Retriever
Weight: 50 lbs
Age: 1 year old puppy
Gender: Male
Looking for someone who works from home to bring dog for daily play dates. Or for someone who would like to be a dog mom helper of sorts to help tire out the pup. Had sudden onset of health issues so need help for a few months. Very sweet and mellow boy once he gets some romps in. Loves all dogs, people, and kids. Very gentle with kids. And taking treats. Will steal a sock to try to u initiate chase but won’t swallow. Located in north Arlington. Willing to discuss all types of arrangements. But my main goal is something consistent to avoid the extra mental burden of coordinating one-off play meetups (game for those too but during the week I need routine end consistency without needing to think and constantly figure out on fly).

He likes all people and is good with kids, and LOVES spending time/playing with other dogs. He's just learning how to contain his energy/excitement and eagerly learning how to be a stellar pup.
