Adopt Your Next Best Friend

Arlington has a number of excellent animal rescue organizations.  Lost Dog and Stray Cat Rescue is one of them.  About 10 years old and with its roots in the popular Westover pizza joint, Lost Dog has rescued and adopted... I think the flier said 14,000 dogs over the last ten years.  They frequently adopt out 40 dogs in a weekend.  Lost Dog gets dogs from a lot of desperate situations such as the West Virginia Railroad Crew.

This past weekend I volunteered at a Lost Dog adoption event and had the pleasure of handling Bentley:

Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
Sex: Male
Age: Approx. 20 month(s)
Color: Yellow
Size: Approx. 76 lbs
Good with Kids?: Yes
Good with Cats?: Not Yet Determined
Good with Dogs?: Yes
Bentley is a big boy who enjoys running around the yard and playing with other dogs.  He had a rough start in life, but he loves being around people and is getting used to his new life in the Lost Dog family.  He’s ready for the next chapter in his life to begin, and with a little training and a lot of love, this guy promises to be the best dog he can possibly be!

You can go to the Lost Dog website and see the dogs currently up for adoption. It is a joyous thing to give a dog a new home.
