Story
Libby was turned into the city shelter as a stray and was very thin and frail. She was bewildered in the shelter and needed to be in a home ASAP. FLFO stepped n and brought her here where she is thriving. She's gained weight and is very happy. But sadly, her initial exam with our veterinarian and bloodwork showed high liver values. Our vet did an ultrasound to find out what was happening and much to her and our astonishment, Libby has a 10cm tumor on her heart. She is not showing any symptoms of being sick but we know that her time is limited. She could live for one more day or one more year! We are currently looking for someone to foster Libby. FLFO offers a fospice program for which we now have a grant to cover her expenses. FLFO pays for all veterinary care and heartworm preventative. Libby is fully crate trained, sleeps through the night, and is very sweet. She walks well on a leash and loves to explore the yard. She is a little sight and hearing impaired but that does not stop her from getting around. Libby takes quite a while to adjust to new surroundings, pacing around and being generally unsettled. But once she's comfortable, she will sleep for several hours. Can you open your heart and home to a loving, deserving girl? We require a home visit so foster homes must be within 40 miles of Baldwin, MD

Story
**Rehoming!** Chantilly, VA Hey everyone! We are looking to rehome Luna, a 7 year old 35 lbs mixed-breed dog who spent years alone in a detached garage before we rescued. Since joining our family, Luna has received all her vaccinations, tested negative for heartworm, got microchipped, and is up-to-date on deworming. Although Luna is a sweetheart, she struggles with anxiety and dislikes crates. Therefore, we're searching for a new home where someone works from home to spoil her and give her the attention she craves. She's a quick learner, knows commands, and is fully potty trained. Luna loves children and would thrive in a home as the only pet or in a household with pets of similar laid back temperament. I am not sure how she will react with cats. A fenced yard is a must for her outdoor adventures lol. She loves sunbathing. We are unable to keep her due to our Mastiff's temperament. We don't want Luna to get hurt.

Story
We are looking to rehome an is between 7- 8 years old. She was with a family who neglected her and kept her in a detached garage only to be let out to use the bathroom. Our hopes was to keep her, however, our young Mastiff is too hyper for her and there have been a few situations where it's gotten dangerous for Luna. We are trying to prevent an accident between them two by keeping them seperated but its not working out.  Luna is so sweet and listens very well. She has anxiety and is now on mediciation. It seems to be helping but will need to take it everyday for the rest of her life. She gets along with kids and other dogs that match her laid back temperment.  She is not good with crates but we think it's due to her being in a cage for years. That being said she will thrive in a home where there is a fenced yard and with someone who works from home due to her separation anxiety.

Story
 Zeke and his sister were found dumped on a country road, hungry and alone. Zeke loves to go for walks and play in the yard. He loves to hang out and get rubs. He is very eager to please and will follow commands. He is still young so he will need guidance. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. He is on the smaller side which makes him ideal for apartment or house living. He will need access to a yard for exercise.  Zeke can be transported to anywhere in the United States and Canada.    ##1534911##

Story
Toby loves to be highly active though he can also relax with his family. He loves his K9 buddies and we feel he'd be happiest in a home with another active dog/ dogs. He's still a young dog and needs love and guidance from his humans whom he wants to please. Toby would probably love to be with older children and have a big secure backyard where he can romp and play with with his family and k9 sibling/ siblings. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He can travel anywhere in the US and Canada. ##1501938##
