Story
Yelluh is one of my 18 mo old pups from my first litter of dogs. Her parents are Bully XL and her mom has a trace of retriever in her blood. Yelluh (pronounced Yeh-Yo) is a sweet and playful girl, although very shy as well. She loves to be rubbed and is watchful. She's not aggressive at all. She does well alone and with other dogs. She's often running around outside and playing with her toys. She needs a home with a yard preferably so she can run, otherwise if she's leash walked, you may have to step fast lol as she can be pretty strong. I need her rehomed immediately so I can get settled for my next move. I love her and raised her with all sincere love. She does well with a home that will love on her and enjoy company. She's still hesitant about going up and down steps, but she's willing to walk down once she gets comfortable in a new place.

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.

Chimmu's stats: Age: 1 year, 1 month Weight: 35 lbs Good with kids: Unknown Good with dogs: Some Good with cats: Unknown Fenced yard: Yes Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: No House trained: Mostly Crate trained: Yes Barks when left alone: No Chews inappropriate items: Yes Training: Working on basic commands Activity level: Medium I have been told I am a handsome young boy, I like to please people who like me for what I am, a doggie born from a street Mammy who had to fight her way with monkeys and other dogs so that she could feed us and keep us faith. But God is Great and saved my Mammy and my siblings from the same destiny. Two nice ladies who knew our new foster Mom in the States got us out of India and into the land of opportunities, so here we are ready to move into a forever loving home with very nice people who want to play, walk, lay on the couch or bed and just have fun. I am very sweet but it takes me a minute to trust people, but I would know who my master would be when I meet you! Chimmu is a courtesy post and not affiliated with our organization. To learn more about him or arrange to meet him, please call or text Morella at (415) 858-9731 or visit the website downwardfacing.dog.

Story
Meet Ridley 💙 Ridley is a stunning silver pittie mix with a heart every bit as beautiful as his coat. This handsome boy is the total package — affectionate, well-mannered, and ready to be someone’s loyal best friend. Ridley is wonderful with other dogs and loves meeting new people. He has a gentle, easygoing personality and is very, very well-behaved in the home. Whether he’s happily trotting along on a walk or lounging nearby, he just wants to be part of whatever you’re doing. At home, Ridley transforms into a full-time snuggly couch hippo. He loves his toys, enjoys playtime, and then is perfectly content to curl up beside you for a nap. He is both house trained and crate trained, making him an easy addition to his future family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings equal parts fun and cuddles, Ridley is ready to fill that role. He’s waiting patiently for a home to call his own — could it be yours? 🐾 My Profile Age: 3 years Weight: 54 pounds Good with kids: Yes Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Unknown Fenced yard: No Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: Yes House trained: Yes.
