Espresso is a high energy, typical terrier mix that loves his toys and walks! He can be dog selective so would do best as the only dog in his forever home. He also likes to alert you when squirrels or birds are trying to breach the perimeter, so he might make too much noise for an apartment/condo. He promises to give lots of love and kisses to his humans though to make up for it! He does show some digging tendencies and resource guarding of those holes, so he needs a family that's willing to show him that he doesn't need to guard his things! Our trainers would be happy to chat with you about that. He would also benefit from some basic manners and training, since he does not seem to have any behavior cues learned. However - he is fully house and crate trained - not one accident in foster care! This little man was found tied up without food or water, so we understand he might be a little protective, but we know a great home will help him flourish!

The adoption fee for this dog is $375. This fee INCLUDES neuter and microchip. If the animal you are adopting is not already spayed/neutered, you will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered. Please contact your HT rep to learn about exclusive low-cost spay/neuter options made available only to HT adopters!

Every adopted Homeward Trails animal comes with 30 days of free pet health insurance. We are proud to partner with the following veterinarians who offer a free first exam for your animal, exclusively for HT adopters: Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Palisades Veterinary Clinic, Sunshine Animal Hospital and Clarendon Animal Care and all VCA Animal Hospitals.

Additionally, any VCA hospital will cover illnesses up to $250 at no cost to any Homeward Trails adopter.

We also provide a 30-minute phone consult with a professional dog trainer at Fur-Get Me Not within the first 30 days of adopting - just for HT adopters in the Arlington/Alexandria area. Start your new dog out on the right foot with this valuable, expert advice and guidance FREE!

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please check out our information about fostering by visiting http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program/
