Story
We’re looking to rehome our 8 year old pup, Chewy. He’s house, crate, and leash trained, good with other dogs (after introduction) and kids, not sure about cats. Doesn’t require a ton of exercise, but enjoys a walk and the occasional game of fetch. He’s a good boy! But my job is relocating me and I can’t take him with. Comes with heartworm, flea, and tick prevention meds through August 2026. Up to date on all shots and vaccines and comes with a healthy supply of food and supplies; bowls, crate (if wanted), dog beds, toys, etc. Located in Annapolis. Somewhere with a yard is preferred, he knows how to use a doggy door!

Story
Bernie and Bella are 7 years old. They have been together since I took them from the breeder. They are super cuddly soft couch potatoes. Very loving. Low maintence. They need a very short walk each day and lots of belly rubs. They are very healthy. Note: I am moving to Costa Rica and they will not do well in the heat and humidity. Bernie is very protective of Bella and does not like other dogs. They must go to a loving home and be kept together.

Story
Lilo is 5 years old, she is a Great Pyrenees mix that we adopted from our local shelter a few years ago. She is a good dog and is both crate trained and trained with an e-collar. We need to re-home her because we are having our second child and she can be very protective of her food and her toys. She would do best in an active home with a fenced in yard. She loves to play with sticks and play fetch. She does have the double duclaw on her rear paws that require attention to make sure they don't grow around into the paw, we have them professionally trimmed a few times a year. Her shots are up to date and she's very healthy.

Story
Beau belongs in the circus given his incredible agility. He can hop a 6ft fence and would thrive in a home with lots of acreage for him to run. Once he is done working out his energy, he will be ready to snuggle up for a good snooze. He does well with “his people”, but isn’t keen on new faces.

Toyo

Golden Retriever

Male, Young
Edgewater, MD
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
SINGLE-DOG HOUSEHOLD (required). Toyo is a 2 year old, AKC pure-bred, golden retriever. He is a home-body and loves to stay at home with his person, go on slow walks to sniff all the flowers, and will do anything to get treats. He's gone on mini hikes and has shown lots of appreciation for outdoors as well. He is an extrovert - he wants to say hi to every human being he encounters. Although he has a few tricks up his sleeve - potty, sit, wait, eat - he would benefit from getting more K9 training, particularly with his leash walk, recall, and also setting boundaries. We require that Toyo be re-homed where he is the only dog. He's shown tendencies of rough "play"/bullying and resource-guarding when living with other dogs. He has ok temperament when playing with other dogs in dog parks, just not living with them. It would be great if he gets proper training to address this character as well. He is a sweet boy who deserves 100% of the attention, space, and resources. Serious inquiries!

Tucker

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young
Arnold, MD
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tucker is a happy boy who is incredible with children. While he knows exactly who to lay under to snag the most snacks at the dinner table, he will never take food that he isn't offered. He has excellent house manners, and will not jump on forbidden furniture, and has never been destructive. Tucker is perfectly happy laying around all day, preferably on a comfy pile of stuffed toys, but is always ready to play or go for a long walk! As young dogs do, he sometimes greets guests with a little too much enthusiasm, but is easily corrected. Tucker belongs in a busy family who is ready to give him lots of snuggles.
