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

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: Germantown, MD Meet Bernie Bernie is an incredibly sweet, easygoing boy who believes life should move at a calm and comfortable pace. He is happiest stretched out in a cozy bed or curled up beside his person, enjoying a long, peaceful nap. He loves being near his people, enjoys being held, and offers quiet companionship without being demanding. Energy and Personality Bernie is truly a low energy dog. He prefers lounging and gentle moments over busy activity. Short walks and a little playtime with his favorite toys are just right for him, and then he is content to settle back down. He thrives in calm, predictable environments and does best when life feels steady and relaxed. Training and Behavior Bernie is house trained, crate trained, and doing very well with leash training. He continues to improve on walks and now only occasionally barks at sudden noises outside. He has shown how adaptable and eager to learn he is when given gentle guidance. He knows basic cues including come, stay, and no, and understands his crate routine well. Bernie truly wants to do the right thing and responds beautifully to structure and consistency. Social Life Bernie enjoys being near his people but is not clingy. He is comfortable spending time on his own and settles easily when left alone. He prefers quiet companionship and gentle affection rather than constant activity. Best Home Fit Bernie will thrive in a quiet, low traffic home with someone who appreciates a relaxed, easygoing dog. He is perfect for a person or couple who enjoys peaceful evenings, slow walks, and cozy time at home. A household that respects his space and values calm energy will help him feel safe and confident. Bernie is ready to offer his gentle heart, steady presence, and loyal companionship to the right home.
