Story
Max is a handsome 13 year old 12 pound Chihuahua Pug mix. Max has a big personality. He's social, playful, and opinionated. Max gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, but can be snappish over treats. His BFF and friend who has been with him his entire life is Jill, a 13 year old 8 pound Chihuahua. We'd love to see them get adopted together. Both are altered, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative.

Story
Hello! My name is Poppa! Meet Poppa Poppa is a lively and lovable boy with energy to spare and curiosity that never quits. He’s eager to explore the world, make new friends, and be part of the action. With his expressive eyes and playful spirit, Poppa is impossible not to adore. Energy and Personality Poppa is full of enthusiasm and thrives with daily exercise and mental stimulation. He loves long walks, active play, and time with his people. He enjoys meeting new people, gets along withcats, and has a big, friendly personality that makes him a joy to be around. Training and Behavior Poppa is house trained, knows how to sit, and comes when called. He’s food motivated, goes into his crate easily, and responds well to treats, praise, and redirection. He has been barking at the door and can get a little frantic indoors, but structure has helped him relax and learn good habits. With crate time, a small fenced-off area, and supervised play in the yard, he’s learning to settle and self-soothe. Social Life He enjoys the company of people and other dogs and is learning how to balance his excitement with calm behavior. He’s affectionate and likes being near his humans, but also benefits from clear boundaries and routines. Quirks and Special Traits Poppa has an expressive face that could melt anyone’s heart. His big, bright eyes always seem to say, “What’s next?” He’s adventurous, clever, and always up for a good time. Best Home Fit Poppa will do best with an active adopter who can offer consistent structure, exercise, and affection. A fenced yard and regular walks are ideal for him. He’s learning quickly and will thrive with guidance and attention.

Story
Current Location: East Berlin, PA Annie is a tiny, outgoing sweetheart with a big personality packed into a little body. She is four months old and weighs about five pounds, a brindle dachshund chihuahua mix with classic low rider charm. She is confident, affectionate, and full of sparkle. Annie loves being close to her people. She happily curls up for belly rubs and wants to be wherever the action is, but she also settles nicely and sleeps quietly in her kennel at night. She will let you know when she wants something, then relaxes just as quickly once her needs are met. She does great with other dogs and comfortably ignores cats. Annie enjoys her dog siblings but would also be perfectly happy as an only pet soaking up attention. She has done extremely well with potty training and is nearly fully litter box trained, yes dogs can do that. Annie would thrive in many types of homes. A fenced yard would be fun but is not required. What she truly wants is love, routine, and a lap to claim as her own. She is a joyful little companion who will bring smiles, cuddles, and personality wherever she goes.

Current Location: Union Bridge, MD Hello! My name is Alex! I've just arrived at OPH. Please check back soon for updates on my personality, and to see adorable new photos. I'm searching for... * someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hrs, at least not until I am older. The older I am the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quick and when I'm bored I could get in trouble. * I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. Professional training will help me bond with you. That sounds like fun! * I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever! I'm making my way north in search of my new family. Is that with you? If so apply today because this cuteness won’t be around for long!
