Story

Hi, I’m ZekeI’m a 9-month-old pup still learning the ways of the world, and honestly? It’s all pretty exciting (and sometimes a little scary).I can be a bit timid at first, but once I know I’m safe, my true personality comes out. I’ve lived with kids, dogs, and even cats, and I did great with all of them. I really like having friends around.I might get a little jumpy sometimes — not because I’m wild, but because I really love cuddles and I’m still figuring out the best way to ask for them. I’m young, curious, and learning more every day, and I just need someone patient who will show me that the world is a good place.If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate dog who wants to grow up alongside you, I might be your guy. I promise lots of love, loyalty, and snuggles as I learn and gain confidence.Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2.

Joesephine

French Bulldog

Female, Young

Salisbury, MD

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story

** Joesephine is in a foster home. Please submit an application in order to meet her. **Applications will be prioritized by complete applications first.Let's start with the fact that Joesephine is not the most photogenic but I promise she is one stinkin cute girl! She simply just hardly ever is sitting still enough for a picture!Joesephine is a 1 year old, spayed, French Bulldog mix, and weighs under 20 pounds.We know everyone seems to prefer small dogs, they are hard to find in shelters, and especially, frenchies. However, it is VERY IMPORTANT Joesephine's future adopters read all that is below.Joesephine came to us as a stray. She was not well when she was brought in by animal control. She had a hard time standing and kept leaning/falling to one side. Our initial thoughts was some sort of neurological issue. The question being was she born with it, or is there something new causing it? With her one eye being somewhat off center, it seems that maybe she was born with this issue but truthfully, we may never know.Her balance issues did improve as she got warmed up, hydrated, and fed!Upon further medical evaluation it was discovered that she has a heart murmur.To be quite frank, Frenchies are a genetic nightmare to begin with, even the best bred ones, and Joesephine is far from the best breeding and it shows with her health concerns we already witness at 1 year of age.Joesephine's adopters should be financially prepared for more vet visits and needs than an average dog! Putting in an application knowing you are not financially stable would simply be irresponsible. We know she is cute, and so many people want a small dog but let's please think about her and her future needs! Primary Color: Black Brindle Weight: 11.3 Age: 1yrs 0mths 2wks

Story

🐾💙 Meet Scrappy — Looking for His Perfect Match 💙🐾 Scrappy is a handsome 1 year, 7 month old American Bulldog, weighing in at 55 pounds of fun, personality, and charm. With the right person and home, Scrappy truly shines as a friendly, goofy, playful, and affectionate companion. This fun-loving boy adores his toys, enjoys romping around in the snow, and absolutely loves his walks—he walks great on leash and is always happy to head out for an adventure. Scrappy is also a loyal pup who will let you know when someone’s at the door or nearby, making him a wonderful little “heads up” buddy for his home. Scrappy is looking for a dog-savvy adult home where he can be the only dog and soak up all the love and attention for himself. In a calm, consistent environment, Scrappy does best and forms a strong bond with his person. He would benefit from continued training, which will only help him become the best boy he’s meant to be—and he’s a smart pup who’s ready to learn.
