Story
Eli was found with his litter under an overgrown tree by the humane society and was adopted as a puppy. He’s roughly 3.5 years old now. He needs a new home due to no fault of his own. He’s a goofball with a ton of personality. He can be shy at first but then is all over you once he gets to know you. He’s great with people. He’s been around a grade school aged child and did well every meeting. He’s never been around cats. He’s very curious about other dogs and has lived with one for years. He’s very energetic and needs some help with jumping but loves to play and affection. He will stick by your side and is very loyal to his loved ones. He’s very smart and knows basic commands like sit, down, come, paw. Very food motivated. He’s potty trained. He does pull on his leash but listens well and is food motivated. He needs to find a new home due to unfortunate circumstances. He needs a loving and active family that doesn't mind his energy.

Story
🐾 Loving Home Needed 🐾 I’m looking for a loving home for my five-year-old dog. I purchased him when he was just four weeks old, and he has been with me ever since. He is lovable, enjoys attention, and loves being close to his person. This is a difficult decision, and finding the right home for him means everything to me. I’m looking for someone who has the time, patience, and love to give him the attention he deserves and make him part of their family. If you’re seriously interested, please message me for more information. ❤️

Story
We adopted Oliver from a shelter in WV when he was about 12 months old. We’ve had him for 2 years this November. We are very sad about this, but he doesn’t get along with my tiny dog and the vet has recommended that we rehome him. Oliver is very food aggressive. Ollie loves other high energy big dogs but little dogs are a no go. He is very well trained when he doesn’t have to share snacks. He spent a few months living with a trainer so he could learn manners bc he is a very big boy. Ollie can heel, sit, lay down, come, stay in command and he is crate trained. He is lovable and is good with kids. He is without health issues but he is an anxious boy. He takes anxiety medication that he might be able to discontinue once he’s without a small dog in the home. He will play fetch all day. He loves to be a lap dog and to go for car rides. Ollie would thrive in an only dog household or a household with another big dog. He loves to play. I do not know how he is with cats. Hes a sweet boy.

Story
Blizzard is a beautiful 13 month old female Sheltie. She is a double merle, which means she is deaf and partially blind. Despite that, she is a playful and sweet dog who loves to explore and have fun. She is good with other dogs and loves to play with her foster siblings. She also loves getting lots of lap time and attention from her foster parents. Blizzard is very vocal and has lots of opinions to share! She is still learning puppy manners and her play can be a little mouthy, but she's learning. She is pretty much housebroken but still will have an occasional accident. Her perfect home will have another playful dog who can match her feisty and fun personality. She must have a securely fenced yard (required) for safety, and a home where someone is around most of the day to give her all the love and attention she deserves. No children under 12. If you think you could give Blizzard the perfect home, visit our website at www.ncsr-md.org to submit an application. Blizzard is being fostered in Kearneysville, WV. A home visit and application are required before a meet and greet. Our application can be found at our website www.ncsr-md.org. A free virtual training session to get her new owner started by Deb Bauer of "Your Inner Dog" is included with her adoption fee.

Story
Meet Beans! he's looking for his forever home. It breaks our hearts, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we must rehome our sweet 2½ year old baby boy. Beans is an incredibly affectionate, friendly boy who thrives around people and needs a family who can give him lots of love and attention. He loves being outside in the backyard running around so if you have a big backyard that's a plus!. He's great with other dogs! he would thrive with another canine companion, as he doesn't do well when left alone for long periods. Vaccinations are not currently up to date. He has a sensitive stomach and gets carsick during rides. He is also scared to get his nails done idk why cause he never got them done (sorry) so he's very spooked about it. He has not been around children or cats, so his behavior with them is unknown. I just wanna make sure he goes to the right person or family who can give him what he needs so if that's you don't hesitate to reach out! :)
