Lisa and BIG100 present the 12 Strays of Christmas!
Every weekday beginning Thursday, December 5th, Lisa will highlight a different homeless animal from local shelters including A Forever Home in Chantilly, VA, City Dogs Rescue in Washington, DC, Fairfax County Animal Shelter and K-9 Lifesavers in Virginia and encourages listeners to adopt them or another pet at their own local shelter.
Do you already have an adopted pet you love? Share a photo of them on social media using the hashtag #12Strays and we will be sharing our favorites to the BIG100 Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages!
5th Stray, December 11th: Sage!
Breed: Terrier, American Staffordshire/Mix
Age: 1y, 2m
Gender: Male (Neutered)
Sage has been at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter for almost three months and is now ready for adoption. He was originally taken from his previous owners by Animal Protection Officers because he was not being cared for, but after getting medical care of lots of TLC, he’s now ready to find his new family! Sage is a happy dog who likes meeting people and other dogs. He is still all puppy and will do great with someone who can teach him lots of new things, plus he’s super food-motivated, so that’ll be good for training! Sage would do best with an adopter who is ready for some big puppy shenanigans, and who has some time to devote to training him and making sure he has lots of mental and physical exercise.
Update: Sage has been adopted!!!
10th Stray, December 19th: Mississippi Faith!
Breed: Chihuahua Mix
Age: 11y
Gender: Female (spayed)
This little lady currently with A Forever Home looks forward to meeting the person meant for her! She is the sweetest thing one can imagine. She loves everyone and wags her tail even when walking! She is in her senior years, but is definitely still a spunky little girl. Faith would be a wonderful companion. Click here for more info!
