Story
Unfortunately looking to rehome our Australian shepherd. She is a very good and loving dog, but we had a baby a year ago and she never adjusted. She needs a home without any kids or dogs and someone who can be patient with her as she adjusts. She's terrified of strangers and it takes her an hour or two to warm up at first. She's 7 years old and has never had any health issues! We have cats that she is good with (but chases around sometimes). Her ideal home would be a place where should could be outside a lot and place ball & soccer She can come off as aggressive when first meeting until she relaxes. We have another dog that she is good with but she is a little guarding with her food and toys

Story
Adoption Fee Covered + Free Training! Great news! Roland's adoption fee has been fully covered by a generous supporter, and OPH is including six virtual training sessions with a certified trainer during the first 60 days to help set you both up for success! Pleased to meet you! I’m Roland. I’m told that I’m a 90 lbs hound mix and about 10 years old. I’m an old soul. I love people but tend to want to be one of the guys. I like when other pets and humans match my lower energy level, or I could be an only child too! It’s probably best that I stay clear of the kitchen or I might help myself to a tasty treat, or two! I haven’t always known where my next meal will come from, so I can get a little moody towards people and animals. This is true with spaces too. You can’t make me get off the couch…but I can be convinced. -Loves to walk, but hold on tight I can pull! -Crate trained, but secure me in! -Loud noises can spook me, especially when I’m alone -Food Motivated -I’m a people person -I could chill with a cool cat -I’d be better with an experienced dog owner My foster dad has been working really hard with me and I have come a long way! He says that all my quirks can be easily managed, but my new family must have the patience to listen and willingness to understand them. Apply today! This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving at the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. The dog was treated for the disease prior to transport north. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable. Read more about heartworm disease here https://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/heartworm-basics#q12

Story
Ollie is a handsome, sensitive dog who bonds deeply once he trusts you. He moves through the world without sound, so he relies on sight and touch. This shapes how he reacts, learns, and connects. Energy and Personality Ollie does best with calm routines and predictable days. New situations can feel intense for him. Once he settles in, he is affectionate, loyal, and steady. Training and Behavior Ollie completed a full training program at Sit Means Sit in Frederick. He learned visual cues. He understands recall, structure, and simple routines. Due to his deafness, he can feel overwhelmed at times, Ollie has had moments where he reacted out of fear. These reactions included two incidents where he made contact with a person. Both happened during stressful or unfamiliar moments. His future home should be comfortable managing a dog who needs space when unsure. A calm, adult only home with structure will help him stay relaxed and confident. Social Life Ollie has shown some reactivity toward strangers, especially during walks or when new people get close too quickly. With his trusted people, he softens and settles. He thrives when introductions are slow and the environment is quiet. Quirks and Special Traits Ollie’s world is visual, so hand signals and routine help him feel secure. He bonds strongly with his handler and enjoys calm time once he feels safe. Best Home Fit Ollie needs a quiet, stable home without children. A home with no dogs or one calm dog could work. Experience with deaf dogs is helpful, but an adopter willing to learn will do well. Predictability and patience will bring out his best qualities. Veterinary Care Ollie is up to date on vaccinations for his age. Ollie is neutered. Ollie is microchipped. Ollie is on heartworm preventative. Ollie is on flea and tick preventative. Ollie has received worm and parasite treatment

Spaniel (Unknown Type) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Story
Located in Ijamsville, MD. Meet Turbo, a happy boy who is confident, curious, and fun!! He loves playtime, walks, and exploring, but also knows how to settle down and relax when it is time to chill. He would LOVE an active adopter to take walks, run, hike with.. and maybe learn agility? He would be a great only dog, but would also love an equally young and playful fur sibling. Turbo is good with other dogs and friendly with everyone he meets although he is learning not to jump up. He is house trained and knows to go to the door to alert you that he needs to go out. He sleeps through the night and loves to relax and snuggle throughout the day once he's had a good run-about outside. He is not a huge fan of the crate, but has been doing well with short periods of time in the crate with positive crate training. He is mostly left outside of the crate in his foster home and has been a good boy with that! Just don't leave any yummy treats out, because he is learning not to counter surf. He enjoys his walks and is improving every day at not pulling on the leash. He does well with corrections and the use of a no-pull harness. He can bark at things from the fenced yard, but getting more used to the neighborhood activity and excitement. He's looking for an adopter that will continue teaching him the rules. Turbo would be a great fit for just about anyone who can give him regular exercise and love. Whether in a house or an apartment, this happy, fun-loving boy is ready to bring joy and energy to his new family. Included Veterinary Care: - Up-to-date on Vaccinations - Microchipped - Flea/Tick Preventative - Heartworm Preventative - Dewormer - Spayed/Neutered

Story
Current Location: Spring Grove, PA Meet Nathan: A Spirited Little Adventurer Looking for His Perfect Match This scruffy 13 pound terrier poodle mix is a bundle of blonde and gold energy just waiting to brighten your days! At 3 years old, Nathan has the spirit of a dog who believes life is meant to be lived at full throttle: running, playing, fetching, and repeating. Nathan is already showing great promise in some areas. He's crate trained and sleeps peacefully through the night without a peep. He's mostly leash trained and ready to go on walks with you (though he might need a little reassurance when darkness falls, as he's still working on being brave at night). He absolutely loves his chew toys and will happily chase after a ball or toy for as long as you're willing to throw it. This active little guy is still mastering some life skills. He's working on housebreaking and does best when given structure and a consistent routine. He doesn't know commands yet, but he's ready and willing to learn with a patient teacher. Nathan is great with other dogs, though his enthusiasm knows no bounds. He'd absolutely thrive with another playful canine companion who matches his energy and loves to romp. Fair warning: he will chase cats, so a feline free home is best. Nathan needs an active family who appreciates his zest for life and is ready to continue his training journey. Someone who will give him plenty of exercise, engaging playtime, and the guidance to become his best self. If you're looking for a fun loving, spirited companion who will keep you moving and make you smile, Nathan is your guy!
