More about the shelter
Tascaâs Love Cooperative is a non-profit, all volunteer, foster based dog rescue organization serving the Washington, DC, metro area. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs left homeless in high volume low resource public shelters where they are at high risk of euthanasia due to pet overpopulation, dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, those in danger of abuse or neglect, or special medical needs.
We strive to work with shelters and other rescues, transport and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs. Proactively sharing information and coordination of transportation to assist as many dogs as possible.
We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes. Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the dog beyond the adoption process.
Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all age appropriate veterinary care and treatment and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age or breed to the extent our resources allow.
*An application is required.
Our Application Process Includes:
*Background check
*Vet reference check
*Landlord check
*In person home visit
Adoption Donation Scale (Tax Deductible):
9 Weeks Old - 1 Year Old $450
Over 1 Year Old - up to 10 Years Old $400
Over 10 Years Old $350
*Our contracts have a training requirement for adopted dogs.
*All adoptable dogs will have age appropriate core vaccines (Rabies, Canine distemper/adenovirus (hepatitis)/parvovirus vaccine) and a microchip.
*Unless the dogâs bio specifies a needed breed experience or a certain environmental setting, applicants residing over one hour (60 miles maximum in distance) from Zip Code 20906, will likely not be considered. However, fantastic matches in PA, NJ, NY, and WV will be considered on case by case basis.
*Filling out the application and any subsequent communication, including the home visit, is NOT a guarantee of approval. There are usually 3 approved families in the final pool of great potential homes for our dogs.
*We do NOT hold dogs back no matter what the circumstances are. If you have been approved to adopt a dog, have a fully executed contract in hand, and do not pick up your dog within 7 days of a successful meet and greet, we will continue with the next potential adopter. We ask that you wait to schedule any meet and greet until you are 100% prepared to take the dog home.
*If we do not contact you through email or phone within 7 business days of receiving your application, it means your application was not chosen as a potential fit for the dog. We do NOT send out "Application Was Not Chosen" email notices.
*Our dogs are never promoted as house trained. Our dogs are never promoted as allergy friendly irrespective of their breed (Breed we list in dogsâ bio is strictly a guess).
*Unless we have an exact birthdate for a dog, the age we list is based on our vet's guess and not on any other paperwork that was provided to us from the shelter or place of origin for said dog.
*Dogs may exhibit normal but potentially undesirable behaviors including, but not limited to, house soiling, nipping, biting, jumping on people, scratching (people, furniture, woodwork), barking, digging, mounting peopleâs legs, urine marking and that these normal behavior patterns may be difficult to manage. We can only share our knowledge of behaviors we observed and/or as reported by foster home. We do not guarantee that all of the dogâs behaviors are known nor that the dog will not develop new behaviors of concern.
*Most of our dogs come from shelters, many in rural areas; they often require multiple de-wormings to get rid of intestinal parasites. We provide one or two de-wormings while the dog is in our care, but most dogs will require additional treatments to fully clear their systems. A fecal examination must be conducted during your vetâs evaluation of your new adopted pet during the 14-day post adoption exam.
*The possibility of a foster home adopting the animal in their care will be conveyed to all potential adopters.
*Before submitting this application you should read, understand and consider your comfort level with our adoption contract which can be found at www.tascaslove.org
*Please pay very close attention to this, should your application progresses to an adoption. If not already done, we require all pets adopted from us to be spayed or neutered at one of our partner facilities. In addition to the adoption donation, there's a required REFUNDABLE deposit of $125 to ensure compliance. If a dog is not already spayed/neutered, Tascaâs Love Cooperative (TLC) will schedule and pay for the neuter/spay surgery as follows:
Adopter agrees to have the dog spayed/neutered at a Clinic Location designated by TLC. If Adopter chooses to use their own vet, or a facility that wasnât authorized by TLC, TLC will only reimburse Adopter the refundable $125 deposit AND up to the maximum amount TLC customarily pays for spay/neuter surgeries at a SpayNow Animal Surgery Clinic ($135 - $250 Male - weight dependent, $150 - $270 female - weight dependent). If Adopter uses a facility that charges less than what is listed above, TLC will reimburse the refundable $125 deposit and the lower cost procedure with proof of spay/neuter.
The only clinics approved by TLC for Spay/Neuter Surgeries are:
SpayNow Animal Surgery Clinic - Laurel, MD & Grasonville, MD
Spay Spa & Neuter Nook - Davidsonville, MD

She embodies everything a Corgi should be, including puffing her chest at other dogs larger than her as if she's got something to say :P
Ivy is 4 years old, just got spayed and had a dental. She's truly a sweet dog that will choose your lap rather than hang out with other dogs.
