Story
Rocky is a loving, kid-friendly dog. We got Rocky when he was 4 weeks old, from a family. We got records of his vaccines. I don't believe they are all up to date, but I can share that information. Rocky has grown up around children, and he enjoys running and playing soccer. I am looking for a stable home and for someone who will be able to take walks with him and play. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me more questions and I will be happy to answer them. Email: Martinez_glenda@icloud.com Adoption fee is based on expenses provided for Rocky; however, we can discuss this as long as we find a perfect home.

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Emma is energetic, affectionate, smart, and playful. However, she is still being leash trained. Emma acts like a puppy and chews everything. She has bitten when panicked, as when she got tangled in her tether. With an experienced, athletic owner, Emma could be a wonderful dog! I'm a senior citizen , and she needs more exercise than my slow walks give her. Emma is on meds for a skin allergy. Otherwise, she is in perfect health.

Story
Bullet is a 6 year old Charcoal Lab. He has been around other dogs since he was born and loves to play! Like most labs he is an expert counter surfer with an iron stomach. He loves playing outside with a tennis ball, going for walks, and swimming (he will stay in the water all day if you let him)! We have been working on his leash/walking skills and while he is great most of the time he still gets a little too excited sometimes when he sees other dogs/people. I have recently gone through a divorce and brought him up from a house with a yard to an apartment. Unfortunately my work schedule means he is alone a lot or has to be boarded for me to travel. He loves attention and being around people so I no longer feel like I am doing the best thing for him. I would love to find a family who has a yard for him to enjoy and the time to spend with him.

Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hi! I am Roo and I will be 2 years old in March. My mom loves me so much that she knows I need to be in a home where I have room to run but where there are no little dogs like the one in my house now. I also am a working dog and would love to have a job! I am spayed, potty trained, chipped, up-to-date on shots. I love hiking, fetch, and swimming. I am shy at first, and I have some fears, especially of men. But with a confident and experienced human, I can be a wonder dog. I am very loyal and great on a leash. I would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Like all heelers, I need exercise and stimulation. Mom says I am so smart! I knows command like sit, down, stay, wait, and look and I am ready to learn more! Once I warm up, I am so easy to train. I would be best in a home with a single person - great guard dog for a single woman! - or an active couple. Young humans are a bit too scary for me. I am eager to please and will make my person feel loved, safe, and happy as they do for me.

Chili

Mutt

Story
Beautiful 5-year old female dog, named Chili, is looking for the most loving home where she can be the only dog. She is GREAT with people young and old as well as cats, but does not care for other dogs so she must be an “only dog.” Chili is perfectly housebroken, knows sit/stay/down, walks well on a leash and loves a soft couch. She does not have any separation anxiety and does not chew belongings. She loves to watch birds and squirrels out the window and is a great friend for hiking, walking, car rides and just relaxing. And when it gets dark she puts herself to bed! We are absolutely devastated to have to rehome her but she simply doesn’t want to live with other dogs, and our obligation is the wellbeing of our 13 year-old dog who we had first. Chili’s safety and comfort is of the utmost importance to us, so we will thoroughly review and vet anyone who seeks to adopt her to ensure she is heading to a loving, safe home. Could Chili be your furever companion? Please let us know!

Lilo

Great Pyrenees Golden Retriever

Female, Young
Annapolis, MD
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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 gets along with our chocolate lab, and with other dogs as long as they aren't in our yard. 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.
