The ENTIRE DESCRIPTION before you inquire. Do not call, email, txt, send an inquiry through any other website complete our online application FIRST. http://hals.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=3016 Visit our official website(s) here HomeAtLastSanctuary.ORG or HALS.RescueGroups.ORG There is a complete our application only. Brody's Rabies Click Here Oftentimes, black and darker colored dogs languish in shelters much longer than lighter colored dogs. There are a lot of reasons for this. Potential adopters often rely on a “first look” with photos rescues and shelters have provided online of individual dogs, and dark colored dogs are more difficult to photograph. Some people may have an aversion towards animals with dark coats based on superstition or personal belief systems. And some people think black and dark colored dogs look more menacing than they actually are because their dark faces make it harder to read their facial expressions.  Unfortunately, these stigmas translate into real-life adoption rates and a lack of interest in these beautiful pups who deserve homes.  TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT BRODY We estimate Brody was born around October 2019. Please see attached file BrodyDogFactsReport.PDF to see exactly what mix of breeds is in Brody’s DNA.  We also ran the DNA Health assessment to see if there are any health risks based on his DNA. This will give a lot of insight to prospective adopters. What it will not tell you is what it is like living with Brody.  Brody came into the care of Home At Last Sanctuary October 2023 as an owner surrender.  He was adopted in Atlanta GA, after a few months moved to Boston MA, after a few months moved to Silver Spring MD with the parents of the adopter.  The person that adopted Brody moved once again to Los Angeles CA and left Brody behind. Brody was extremely insecure and was very reactive to other dogs on the walk and out in public.  He is doing much better and will need someone willing and able to continue nurturing confidence in Brody.  Brody has found comfort in a regular routine.  He knows where he fits in.  He is a very affectionate and loving dog. As of now, April 2025, Brody has share his foster home with eight other foster dogs.  Five have been adopted and he lives with two other dogs now.  There are links below to videos and photos of Brody and you can see him interact with the other dogs. He weighs about 37 pounds, is healthy, active, and playful dog.  He likes attention and will snuggle in for giving and getting love and attention.   He is good with other dogs after proper introduction.  He would not likely do well with cats.   He has not been evaluated around children.  It does seem as like he would do will with children that is respectful of dogs boundaries and adequate supervision from adults. Home At Last Sanctuary, Inc. offers certified previously owned dogs to be perfectly matched lifetime companions.  Brody's personal Webpage: Click or copy paste this link https://hals.rescuegroups.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=19883451 There are photos and videos on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.6624654667615858&type=3 Here is Brody's video playlist on YouTube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6X5lkFtFSjOW9jfMwgBV9FH6z9x3P0ob&si=rstM6Fxd7yXM3f_m Brody has videos here too: https://www.facebook.com/HalSavesDogs/reels/ Please be aware.  We only place dogs within a one hour drive from Rockville MD.  When we have an approved application Brody will come for a home visit and meet and greet.  We will spend adequate time to determine if this is a good match.  We return another day once the new family has prepared to do an adoption.

Story
Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young boy ready to play! SAMPSON NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:   Sampson          Best Guess for Breed:  Chow Chow mix Best Guess for Age:  6 months as of 5/21/25       SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight:  22 lbs as of 5/21/25 - he is still growing!   Gets Along With:  Sampson is great with other dogs and has done well with kids too! We haven't seen him with cats but are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters.   Currently Living at:   Puerto Rico shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get on a freedom flight on June 14!   See this cutie in this video! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_gi_dV52Xs   Special Adoption Considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Sampson would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.   About Sampson and what he is is looking for: He's looking for his forever home! This sweetie was rescued off the streets of Puerto Rico. He survived parvo and now is happy, healthy puppy oh so ready and eager to have his own humans for sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures they can dream up. The local rescue personnel who took care of him say he is wonderful and has a huge heart.    Sampson has so much love and loyalty - is so ready to be a well loved family dog. What do you say? Are you his family? What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once Sampson has arrived in the DC area and spent some time in foster care here. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online   at   bit.ly/adoptaluckydog  .   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.

Muffy

Chow Chow

Female, Adult
Sykesville, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Muffy came into my life after her previous owner passed, and she’s proven to be one of the sweetest, smartest dogs I’ve ever known. While she’s shy at first—she needs a few slow, patient meet-and-greets to warm up to new people—this loyal girl becomes a total lovebug once she trusts you. She’s very well-behaved, masters cues like “sit” and “come,” and adores daily walks or hikes. Muffy would thrive in calm, quiet home with 1-2 adults who understand her cautious nature. She’d do best in a home without cats or small children. She could enjoy a home with another friendly dog if it is the right fit (she can be particular about other dogs but there are some that she really loves). A securely fenced yard is a must, as she loves being outside. Muffy’s heart is full of love—she just needs the right person to give her time and space to share it. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who’ll repay your patience with endless devotion, Muffy is your girl.

Story
https://foha.org/pet/ashland2021/ ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Hello world! I’m Ashland – a sweet southern gentleman with adorably silly ears and a heart full of love. I’m a fan of peaceful nature walks, car rides, and cuddles with my favorite humans. I walk nicely on a harness and make an excellent adventure buddy. I can be a little shy at first, so I appreciate slow introductions and gentle encouragement. But once I trust you, I’ll shower you with affection, belly-up snuggles, and even some zoomies! I’m a calm, loyal companion looking for a quiet home where I can thrive. Because I can get overwhelmed in busy or loud environments, I’m not suited for apartment, condo, or townhouse living. A single-family home with a fenced-in yard would be my ideal retreat. HOW AM I WITH DOGS: I prefer to be the only dog in the home. I like having all your love to myself! HOW AM I WITH CATS: No cats for me, please — I find them far too interesting. HOW AM I WITH KIDS: I need an adult-only home. The energy and unpredictability of kids is just too much for me. I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS: Sit, down – and I’ll happily show off even without treats! MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Not specifically mentioned, but I do great in calm environments and pick up on routines well. FOHA can provide more info if needed. THINGS I LIKE: Walks in the woods, car rides, belly rubs, treats, a quiet home, and snuggling with my favorite people. THINGS I DISLIKE: Loud, chaotic environments, fast introductions, city life, and apartment living FOHA ADOPTION POLICIES AND PROCESS: https://foha.org/pet-adoption/adoption-policies/ ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES: Spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, distemper & Bordetella), 1-month access to Petcademy for training and behavior support, slip lead leash, 1 bag starter food, 1 month flea/tick & heartworm preventatives, diagnostic testing, and additional medical procedures as recommended by our vet.
