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
Current Location: Chester, VA Meet Woody Woody is a big-hearted, lovable dog who just wants to be part of the family. His tail seems to wag on autopilot, and his sweet personality shines through the moment he feels comfortable. Woody is loyal, affectionate, and always ready to play or curl up close once he’s had his fun. Energy and Personality Woody has a medium to high energy level. He loves to play and zoom around the yard but settles nicely afterward for naps or quiet time. He’s happiest when included in the action and enjoys being close to his people. He can be a little whiny when left out, but it’s mostly because he loves company. Training and Behavior Woody is 99% house trained and quickly learned to use the outdoors as his restroom. He’s done great in a fenced yard and hasn’t made any escape attempts. He does fine in a large wire crate but can get vocal for a bit before settling. Because he’s not destructive when left alone, his foster family doesn’t always use the crate. Woody responds well to direction, listens when corrected, and can easily be redirected with a toy. Social Life Woody gets along well with other dogs once they get to know each other. He can be a bit overenthusiastic in play because he doesn’t always realize his size, but he means well and adjusts quickly with guidance. He has also done well with the resident cat, respectfully backing off after a warning hiss. Woody has met delivery people and neighborhood visitors and may bark at first, but he quiets down when told. Quirks and Special Traits Woody is a sweet, affectionate dog who thrives on love and inclusion. He’s playful, loyal, and loves a good cuddle session after a day of fun. His expressive nature and big personality make him a joy to have around. Best Home Fit Woody would do well in a home familiar with larger breeds or energetic dogs. He would love a family who enjoys playtime, outdoor activities, and has room for him to stretch his legs. A home where he’s not left alone for long periods would make him happiest. This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. 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.

Story
Current Location: Hyattsville, MD Hello! My name is Garrett! I was named by our 2025 "Name a Transport of Animals" Auction Winner Jatiela Moore! Garrett is a beautiful young Shepherd boy with a tender heart and a grateful soul. He came to us from our partner shelter in Mississippi and carries the soft look of a pup who knows his second chance matters. He is still timid, but he warms up with gentle encouragement and time. Once he trusts you, his whole face lights up. Energy and Personality Garrett has balanced energy. He enjoys playtime in the yard, exploring new spaces, and a bit of mental stimulation. When the excitement fades, he settles well and rests close by. He is kind, observant, and thoughtful. He takes in the world slowly and grows braver each day. Training and Behavior He is working on crate training and learning the potty routine. He will need support with leash training. He responds to calm guidance and steady reassurance. He feels safest with routine and clear structure. Social Life Garrett enjoys the company of other dogs and would be happy with a confident canine friend. He also seems open to living with a cat. He loves watching other pets move through the world and often learns by following their lead. His timid nature softens when he has a buddy to show him the ropes. Quirks and Special Traits He loves running in the backyard. He looks proud and free when he moves. His coat glows with classic Shepherd beauty. His eyes have a gentle hopeful look that wins you over fast. Best Home Fit Garrett will thrive with patient adopters who value steady progress and quiet bonding. A home with another dog or a calm environment will help him feel safe. He would be a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys watching a shy pup grow into his confidence.

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: Littlestown, PA Snow is a one year old poodle mix who weighs about 48 pounds. She is sweet once she feels safe. She watches new people for a moment before she decides to trust them. Once she chooses you, she stays close. Energy and Personality Snow has a gentle spirit. She likes calm spaces. She studies new situations. She warms up with slow steps. She becomes affectionate once she settles. Training and Behavior Snow moved inside today after time in the puppy room to decompress. I do not know her house training or crate training status yet. She needs a patient routine and simple structure as she adjusts. She responds best when people slow their pace and give her space to decide. Social Life New people need to avoid eye contact at first. That helps her relax. My three year old can pet her with this approach. She bonds tight with her person. She will do the same in her forever home once she feels secure. Special Traits Snow is cautious and thoughtful. She reads the room before she engages. She gives soft affection once she trusts you. She is the type of dog who picks her person with care. Best Home Fit Snow needs a calm home. She needs patient people who understand slow introductions. She would thrive with someone who gives her time to settle and rewards small steps forward. Veterinary Care Snow is up to date on age appropriate vaccinations. Snow is spayed. Snow is microchipped. Snow is on heartworm preventative. Snow is on flea and tick preventative. Snow has received worm and parasite treatments.

Story
Current Location: East Berlin, PA Hello! My name is Persimmon! I've just arrived at OPH. Please check back soon for updates on my personality, and to see adorable new photos. I'm searching for... * someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hrs, at least not until I am older. The older I am the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quick and when I'm bored I could get in trouble. * I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. Professional training will help me bond with you. That sounds like fun! * I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever!
