Story
Luna is a spunky 5 year old, spayed female Shiba Inu that was found wandering in PA 2 years ago. She was spayed, microchipped, housebroken, and crate trained, but her old owners claimed they rehomed her and did not want her back. My family took her in and realized she’s very affectionate and playful with adults and LOVES to travel and hike, but unfortunately she’s always been reactive with our other dog and cats. She would thrive as an only dog in an adult-only home, and unfortunately that is not something we are able to provide. She loves a good bully stick and a nylabone and will do just about anything for cheese. She’s a wonderful girl and she just needs a new home with better accommodations for her to thrive.

Story
Penny is a sweet little lady that we received from a rescue in 2020. She loves to run, and patrol her yard. She likes playing with other dogs. She also likes playing with cats, even though our cat isn’t the biggest fan of her. She loves kids. She was my son’s best friend. My son recently developed a severe allergic allergy to the dog, which actually ended up in the hospital for him along with an allergy test to see the trigger. We are extremely sad to find Penny a new home, but she deserves a family who is able to cuddle her and let her roam the house freely without limitations.

Story
We adopted Rosie when she was only 9 weeks old. She has lived with our family that consisted of two kids and two cats and most recently this year a newborn baby. She has always been friendly and kind with the children and curious and kind to the cats. With our kids becoming more involved with sports these days and the new baby our schedules have become too busy to allow Rosie the attention she really deserves. We hope to find her a loving new home with a family who can appreciate all the love she has to offer.

Story
Our sweet boy named Rocky is looking for his forever home. He is a shepherd mix who is great with people, kids and other dogs. He is always ready for an adventure and needs a handler who is able/willing to meet his needs. He loves to work, so if you live an active lifestyle and would enjoy a dog that you could train to do pretty much anything, then this is your guy! Rocky recently graduated from a 4 week off-leash training program and his obedience has been proofed in high distraction settings - coffee shops, breweries, hiking trails, etc.

Havre de Grace, MD
Size

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Rushmore! The sweetest and cuddliest boy ever. Rushmore has been in my care for about a month now. My friend had to unfortunately surrender her him and i got him so he would not be put down. However, we believe all the trauma has made him not get along with my dogs and wants just my attention and has made things difficult. Rushmore would do best in a house with a female who doesn't mind that Rush will follow her EVERYWHERE, he will def be a shadow. he has separation anxiety is afraid of men. Rush would do best in a childfree home or at least older kids. Cats would be okay, but i think right now being the only dog is what is best. It breaks my heart i cannot keep him because he really is the goodest and sweetest boy! He is a fantastic walker and loves car rides!
