![Pet of the Week: Tulip
Feb. 16: Tip toe through the tulips? Well this is just what Tulip would like to do with you! Meet this sweet three year-old hound mix with a pretty light tan coat and nice disposition. She is a friendly, energetic gal who loves to take walks and smell all that the world has to offer. Tulip would prefer to skip the dog parks, as she is a bit dog selective. However she could live with calm, older dogs.
Come out to the Washington Animal Rescue League to meet Tulip, this week’s Pet of the Week. She can’t wait to meet you! (Washington Animal Rescue League)](https://wtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Tulip1-1249x1254.jpg)

![Grizz is quite the handsome hunk! This 2-year-old chocolate Lab mix is a big boy with a heart to match. He’s friendly and exuberant, and has a wonderful free spirit attitude. Grizz loves to play and when he’s had enough will look for a lap to sit in. (Nobody told him he isn’t really a lap dog.) He also likes other dogs, although his size, strength, and rough play style can be a bit much for some. Grizz is looking for adopters who believe that you can never have enough dog. In return, he’ll give a lifetime of love, loyalty, and fun! Stop by the Washington Animal Rescue League and meet Grizz soon.](https://wtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Grizz2-1038x1254.jpg)

In reality, this handsome boy is a 1.5-year-old Chow mix who can’t wait for a forever home of his own! Walnut is pretty much the perfect dog: friendly with people and dogs, playful, and very affectionate. He’ll happily share his toys with you and then dive into your lap for some snuggling. He’s looking for a human companion who will love him, take him for walks…and brush his coat regularly. (Let’s face it, that gorgeous coat, like a great hairstyle, doesn’t just maintain itself.)

![Valentino is a handsome, three-year-old grey tabby who may—or may not—have Feline leukemia (FeLV). Huh?
Basically, he has tested positive for the virus on one test (meaning it’s still in his blood stream) and negative on the other, which means the virus has not won the fight. Some cats like Valentino eventually beat the virus while others don’t.
Currently, Valentino acts healthy and happy, if a bit bored by his seclusion in his Kitty City tower condo. He’s a smart, fun-loving boy who is finding unique ways to entertain himself, including playing with his water bowl. But what we really wants is a loving home in which to explore, either as an only cat or with other friendly FeLV-positive felines. Could that be yours? Stop by the Washington Humane Society/Washington Animal Rescue League shelter at 71 Oglethorpe Street, NW, to meet this very special boy and find out.

Blend, a Presa Canario mix (sometimes called a Canary Mastiff) was brought to the Humane Rescue Alliance by her owner due to a family member developing an allergy to her. She has a beautiful brindle coat on her large frame. At seven years old, Blend is middle-aged and is definitely a little laid back, but does have her occasional burst of energy.

![Yes, it’s a unique name and she’s a unique dog! Blend, a Presa Canario mix (sometimes called a Canary Mastiff) was brought to the Humane Rescue Alliance by her owner due to a family member developing an allergy to her. She has a beautiful brindle coat on her large frame. At seven years old, Blend is middle-aged and is definitely a little laid back, but does have her occasional burst of energy. She would prefer to be the only child as she loves to just lounge all day with her humans and have all the attention. Please come by our New York Avenue Adoption Center to meet Blend, this week’s Pet of the Week!](https://wtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/blend_dog-260x174.jpg)

WASHINGTON — It was another great year for WTOP’s Pet of the Week segment.
In 2016, more than 70 pets — both cats and dogs — from the Humane Rescue Alliance were featured on-air and online, in hopes to find a forever home.
Here’s a look back on our featured four-legged friends and where they are now. Some are still available for adoption.
