D.C. Adoptable Animals: 48 Dogs, Cats, Rabbits and Birds Need New Homes

LOOK: This Adorable Dog Needs Your Help

WASHINGTON -- How do you say no to this great big doggie smile?

This is Polly Pocket. She's about a year old, and she's always got that grin on her face. A friendly, loving dog, Polly Pocket is looking for someone who'll smile back at her (plus take her for walks, and snuggle on the couch).

Polly is one of the 48 pets in this week's slideshow of adoptable animals -- a slideshow that includes cats, dogs, rabbits and birds, all hoping for new homes in 2013.
