Story
I purchased Zoey from a reputable breeder in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Zoey requires a lot of attention and is very clingy. Ive been working from home for the last few years and she has been with me at home through all of it. Im very attached to Zoey but don't believe I am fit to care for her any longer with my upcoming travel plans. I am sad see her go, but I a looking forward to giving her to a family that will take care of her very well. Ideally I would like to give her to someone who is patient, and kind. Her previous dog sitters tells me she needs a bit more time with other dogs otherwise she gets overwhelmed. She gets nervous around kids because kids have been rough with her in the past. The ideal person would wfh. If you are in the area, and happen to have travel plans, I can also watch her for you as well!My suggestion: Because Zoey needs time to get adjusted, I recommend downloading the Rover app so she can spend a few days with you! I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!!

Story
Pluto, born March 6th 2019, Is a lovable and gentle boy. Named Tony by the shelter, he was suspected to be in a dogfighting ring but was surrendered. We named him Pluto, but he hasn’t stuck with it yet, so you can name him however you’d like. He’s not violent at all, up to date on all his vaccines, and was so good with our dog, Cozmo. He hasn’t barked yet, so we’re assuming he doesn’t bark much. The sweet baby just needs a home where he can be himself 🥹 (Disclaimer: He likes being outside!)

Story
We have had Mugsy for a year and she is the sweetest thing to the adults in the household. Unfortunately I recently received a service dog and she is not adjusting to having to share. She is a little shadow dog that wants to be wherever her owner is and she loves to cuddle. She has a funny little personality, and it breaks our heart to not be able to be the right fit for her anymore. She is crate trained and potty trained. She knows basic obedience: come, sit, place, off, etc. If you're looking for a spunky lover girl please consider Mugsy. We can provide you with her crate, leash, harness, preventatives and toys. She is up to date on her shots. We want to set her and her new best friend up for success.

Bebe

Story
Meet Bebe! She’s proof positive that you’re never too old to begin a new chapter. This darling girl finds herself looking for a new home because her owner is terminally ill and closest family members are allergic. At 12-13 years old and very overweight, this poses a bit of a challenge. But here's the good news, our Bebe is full of light and love and ENERGY. So we're looking at her current situation like a caterpillar in a cocoon just waiting to come out and fly. Her theme song is Patti LaBelle’s “New Attitude.” (We hope that doesn’t date us.) Currently she's a 40lb dog stuck inside a 50lb body and she's eager to shed the excess weight and start this next phase of her life. She has Cushings disease and will need to continue her medication to control it. Bebe has good house manners and has left most things alone. She plays with toys if you'll play with her and lives for belly rubs. She knows basic commands but can also be a little headstrong. She LOVES her walks or even just time meandering around the backyard. As the weight is falling off, she’s also starting zooms around the house and lots of play time. She’s definitely feeling herself! She is 99% house trained but has had a few accidents from stress. She wants to know where you are in the house and if she can't find you, she may stress pee. This has been mitigated by talking to her from wherever I am. She is also crate trained. She does well with most other dogs so far. She’s generally fine with them until they gruff at her. She’s a bit alpha in her play so would recommend pairing her with a more submissive dog. I’m excited to get to know her more and for you to join us on this journey. We'll be highlighting her weight loss journey along the way, which will be great for us both! Bebe's stats: Weight: 57lb, working her way down to 40 Age: 12-13 years Good with kids: Yes Good with other dogs: Some Good with cats: Unknown Fenced yard required: No OK for townhouse or apartment: Yes House trained: Mostly Crate trained: Yes Barks when left alone: I’ll bark when you leave, but then I’ll settle down. Chews inappropriate items: No Training: Knows sit and come. Needs more work but waiting to lose weight before training. Highly treat motivated. Activity Level: Low Needs experienced adopter: Not necessarily. Should be willing to learn about her medications. If you are interested in Bebe, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application. Please consult our Adoption FAQ before contacting us. Please check the adoption-show-attendees page (http://www.pgspca.org/adopt/adoption-show-attendees/) to see if Bebe will be attending the next adoption show. NOTE: We are an all volunteer group and do not operate a shelter. All of our animals are in foster homes. We are unable to place our animals outside of the Baltimore/DC area.
