Beamer is coming to Cheverly tomorrow!

Meet Beamer (Miss Bea to her friends)! She's a sweet yellow lab mix who ended up in a high kill shelter in January. When the shelter was told it had to downsize from 200 to about 30 dogs in a matter of weeks, a vet took Bea in to keep her from being euthanized. Until she came to the DC area, she was living in an outside kennel with a few pals, hoping for a family of her own.

Bea is timid at first with new situations, and needs a family who will be patient with her as she settles in and learns that she's safe. She takes treats very gently, and cautiously wags her tail at any affection. She is happier with other dogs than on her own and would do best in an adult-only home.

Breed Estimate: Labrador Retriever mix
Sex: female
Approximate weight: 55 pounds (she's 10 pounds underweight right now)
Approximate age: 2 y.o.
Location: Cheverly!
Coat Type: short; typical lab
Personality: a bit timid but very sweet

How could anybody resist a face like this?

Didi is a wonderful and sweet little girl. She is loving and affectionate. She loves to take walks and also curl up next to you. She really wants most to be someone's companion and she likes to hang out right by her boarder's side whenever she gets the chance. She likes other dogs and does well with children and adults. She will be a fantastic pet for just about anyone.

If you're interested in getting to know more about her, please visit her Petfinder page.

via another Cheverly resident:

A black and white sheltie named Lucy broke her leash and took off around noon from the corner of Kilmer and Belleview. Her owner is out driving looking for her but if you see or find her - she does have tags - try to entice her to a safe place and let her owner know.
