My story

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

Current Location: Ijamsville, MD

Meet Macaroni: The Shy Little Collector 🧸

If you have a quiet home, a playful dog, and a heart full of patience, Macaroni might just be your perfect match.

Macaroni is a beautiful black wire-haired Terrier mix with a soul that is slowly learning how to shine. Coming from a difficult hoarding situation, the world can still feel a bit overwhelming for her. She is very shy and cautious when meeting new people, but for the right person, the reward of her trust is worth every second of the wait.

Her Personality:
Once Macaroni feels safe and opens up, her true "silly girl" side comes out! She’s a quirky, sweet pup who has a hilarious habit of collecting random objects—she loves to keep her favorite "things" close for safekeeping.

What Macaroni Needs:
- A Canine Guide: Macaroni must have a confident dog sibling in her forever home. She finds her courage by watching other dogs and needs a buddy to show her that life isn't so scary.

- A Secure Yard: Because she finds the leash quite intimidating, a fenced-in yard is a must. She loves to explore and play at her own pace in a secure space.

- Patience & Understanding: Her new family will need to take things slow. She isn’t a "love at first sight" kind of girl, but rather a "love that grows deeper every day" kind of girl.

- A Quiet Environment: A calm household without too much hustle and bustle will help her feel most at ease.

Macaroni has come a long way, and she’s looking for a special adopter who sees the brave dog she is becoming. Are you ready to show Macaroni what a "happily ever after" feels like?

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
