Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Thank you for your interest in a Home At Last Sanctuary, Inc. animal.  STOP!!! READ!! 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. 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
https://foha.org/pet/ashland2021/ Hello world! I'm Ashland! One look at my sweet face and my adorably silly ears, I promise you'll fall in love. I'm a sweet southern gentleman who loves a nice stroll through the woods. I walk nicely with a harness and love exploring. I love adventures and car rides. I'm the perfect passenger and will look out the window or lay down in the back seat. I may even poke my head up front to give you a kiss. I know "sit" and "down" and will do both happily and even without a treat! Since I can be a little shy, I do best with a slow introduction. Once I warm up and trust (doesn't take too long especially with some yummy treats and a gentle touch), I love with my whole heart. I'll lean in for snuggles and belly rubs. And I'll be all tail wags. I've even been known to do some zoomies when I get excited to see my favorite people. I will be best in a home with no kids under 10 years old. And I'd really love to be the only dog for you to love. I can be reactive in new situations so living in a condo, apartment or townhouse are not recommended. I'm really good at letting you know if I'm feeling uncomfortable and my usual happy wagging tail will droop. I prefer to live a nice quiet life. City life isn't my style. I do hope that I can become your new best friend! If you have a nice house with a fenced in yard I would be so happy! Submit an application and come on out to meet me!

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.

Rusty enjoys a slower pace of life. He loves to be rubbed and hang out on the couch. He does enjoy his walks. He gets along with other dogs as long as there is a proper introduction.He is a happy go lucky boy. He has hip issues so long walks aren't recommended. He does like walking leisurely around the yard. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. He can travel to anywhere in the US and Canada. ##1501779##

***Teens +- I`m really unsure about everything and need help building my confidence. I can be a little grumbly at first, so I`ll need you to go slow when we first meet. I start following people around once I start getting comfortable and lean against legs for reassurance.
