My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Forget-Me-Nots are small, sometimes missed, flowers that symbolize true love, loyalty, and remembrance. At the Maryland SPCA, we classify a pet as a Forget-Me-Not to highlight an animal that may have some extra considerations for potential adopters to be aware of. Even though this pet may need a little extra TLC in order to fully bloom, we know they are still a strong candidate for adoption and they're sure to bring true love and loyalty into their new family. We hope you'll remember these beautiful creatures when you consider adopting.

Meet Jinx, a lovable canine with a heart full of love, seeking a patient and understanding forever home. Despite his initial nervousness around new people, Jinx's endearing nature shines through once he feels comfortable. Having been surrendered to the shelter, he's on a journey to find a family who will give him the time and space he needs to adjust. With a gentle approach and plenty of patience, Jinx is sure to blossom into a loyal companion. Due to his skittish and fearful behavior, Jinx would thrive in an adult-only environment where he can feel safe and secure. His sensitivity to touch calls for a household that respects his boundaries and understands his need for gradual socialization. A home with another social dog is also a requirement as he gets real confidence boost when engaging with the world with a dog friend.

With the right guidance and a loving atmosphere, Jinx is ready to embark on a new chapter filled with warmth, understanding, and unwavering companionship.

More about this shelter

The Maryland SPCA connects wonderful pets to loving owners. We are not affiliated with any national animal organization, and we do not receive any government or United Way funding. Our mission is to prevent cruelty and neglect of animals through fostering the humane relationship between animals and people. We operate primarily in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area.

To make sure that our dogs and cats do not contribute to the pet overpopulation problem, every one is spayed or neutered before going into a new home. The cost is included in the adoption fee, as are the costs of shots and other necessary care. In addition, a free Positive Pooch class is available to our dog adopters.

There is no set time limit for how long an animal can remain in our adoption program. As long as an animal maintains general good health and a sound temperament, we keep him or her until adopted. We pride ourselves on providing premium care to the animals in a clean, pleasant environment. Our adoption staff works diligently to pair up adopters with the best animal match for their homes and lifestyles.

We transport animals from other shelters to our adoption center to help more animals get adopted. We also help pet owners find new homes for their pets so their animals don’t need to enter shelter care.
