Looking for your new BFF? Here y’go! Jonah’s best quality is his loving, playful nature. He’s looking for a family that will be down for lots of play (tug and fetch are high on the list) and any outside adventures. And when play time is over, he will happily snuggle with you, climb into your lap, or lie next to your feet.
He is super smart and trainable and already knows sit, stay, give paw/shake, as well as turn (spin in a circle). He has been taught to “wait” until released before eating. Now he just needs a little help with his excited greetings of people and other dogs and his leash walking.
One of our volunteers got to meet this happy guy and he was super excited – oh boy a new friend you will love me I’m sure! :-D – but was able to calm down. Right away, he was happy to get pets and scritches. Also: His coat is incredibly soft!
Jonah currently lives with adults and teens and has also spent time with kids as young as 8. He has done great with everyone and enjoys sleeping in bed with the kids. He had a chance to play with another exuberant pit bull a few months ago and did great. Since then, he has had a lot of exposure to other dogs though he has not found another dog who is down for Jonah’s rough and tumble play style. Though we don’t know how Jonah might feel about kitty housemates, we do know that he gets pretty excited about prey animals seen outside, so a home without cats would probably be best.
Jonah is about 1 year old and weighs around 45 lbs. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He is mostly housetrained and will go into a crate … but doesn’t love it. So baby gates might be helpful for finalizing his housetraining.
Jonah’s family loves him and is devoted to him, but they’ve been dealing with a housing/rental dispute and are being forced to give up their furry family member. :-(
Interested? Please reach out via email (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) or through Adoptapet. We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved – especially Jonah!

The pets listed here are available through our facilitated rehoming program, Project Hope. We aim to help pet parents safely rehome their pets when they can no longer care for them. The adoption process is similar to what you'd experience with a typical rescue organization. Feel free to reach out to ask for more details. On a separate page, we list the cats available through our special needs cat rescue program.

More about this rescue
Frederick Friends of Our County Animal Shelter (FFOCAS) is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit "friends" group helping our local county-run animal shelter. On this page, we list the pets available through our facilitated rehoming program, Project Hope. We aim to help pet parents safely rehome their pets when they can no longer care for them. Reducing intake at our partner shelter saves lives in two ways: (1) by ensuring that pets rehomed through Project Hope never enter the shelter and (2) by leaving more time and resources available at the shelter for those pets who do go to the shelter. In addition to Project Hope, we have our Cats with Character program, through which we take in primarily special needs kitties who are not doing well at our partner shelter, and Brooke's Medical Fund, through which we cover veterinary costs for shelter pets. Check out our website for more information!
