Meet Ted, a handsome 2-year-old, 50-pound bundle of joy who's ready to charm his way into your heart! Despite his rough start in the shelter, Ted has shown remarkable resilience and is blossoming beautifully in a foster home environment.
This sweet boy has quickly adapted to foster home life and has been an absolute gem. He's mastered the art of sleeping through the night in his crate, ensuring you'll have uninterrupted slumber. Ted is a well-behaved walker, gracefully strolling beside you on his halti leash without a hint of pulling.
He might not be the best fit for households with cats due to his bird-chasing tendencies. Ted is in the process of learning his manners so he's best suited for a household without younger children. But don't let that fool you; this cuddle bug is a master at stealing hearts and adores nothing more than curling up with you for some belly rubs after a long day. With some patience and love, Ted is sure to shine as your devoted canine companion.
Whether it's a leisurely stroll in the park or a road trip adventure, Ted is always up for some quality time with his favorite humans. With his gentle demeanor and loving nature, Ted is ready to embark on his journey to find his forever home. Could you be the one to give this deserving pup the love and security he craves? Come meet Ted today and prepare to fall head over heels for this lovable furball!
Ted is a bit uncomfortable socializing with other dogs, and would prefer to be your one and only at home!
Ted is currently living in a temporary foster home. Please email dogfosters@barcs.org for the next steps to meet him!

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

More about this shelter
BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
