She settled right in and made herself at home. She's a quick learner, mastering commands like sit and shake, and she's got a playful side too - enjoying zoomies and parkour off the furniture. But her favorite place to be is right by your side."If you've fallen for Shirley's charm and are ready to schedule a meet-and-greet, please give us a call at 410-827-7178.

Story
Blue is such a special boy. He's 6.5 years old and is just a happy go lucky boy. His favorite things are fetch, riding in the car, going on walks, and meeting new people. Not only is Blue an adventurous pup, he is also trained. He knows place, sit, paw, and lay down. He also walks great on a leash and rarely ever pulls. Blue does well with certain dogs and prefers a female companion. He has met a staff members children and did well. This guy is the epitome of loving, he will give you kisses and fall asleep on your lap.Even with all of these amazing qualities, Blue has been with us since July 4th with little to no interest. He is patiently awaiting his family and he has grown so much we know he could make a family complete. He may be the missing piece to your puzzle.
