Story

I am begging anyone who reads this to understand this is my last resort. If I could keep my girl I WOULD. She is 4 , she is the sweetest most docile pitbull you’ll ever meet. She is aggressive to no one and loves everyone she comes in contact with children , cats , birds she is intrigued and non aggressive to all. She does not bark unless startled by her shadow or a balloon , she LOVES to cuddle and would prefer to be laid up under anyone who will have her. She is a GREAT listener , sticks her little head between your legs when she wants love. She is just the best.. I just cant take her with me and I really need this job. Originally i just needed temporary rehoming for about 2-3 months but that hasnt bore any fruit so here I am asking anyone who TRULY loves dogs to take care of my girl Suki Badooki

Story

Ginger is an incredibly sweet and loyal girl looking for her next forever home. For years, she has been my grandmother’s beloved sidekick. Unfortunately, as my grandma has gotten older, she just can't keep up with the daily physical care and attention that Ginger rightfully deserves. We love this dog dearly, so we are stepping in to make sure she finds a home where she can continue to be pampered, loved, and given the time she needs. Ginger would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention. Whether you are looking for a loyal shadow to follow you around the house, or just a certified couch potato to watch the game with, she is ready to step right into your starting lineup. Ginger isn't a project dog; she’s a ready-made best friend. If you have the time, love, and a cozy spot on the couch to offer, Ginger is ready to be your number one draft pick.

Story

Ice is approaching seven years old. He has been with me since he was eight weeks. He’s a very friendly dog. He loves to play. Although he is a large dog, he is very loving . He does not bite and again he loves to play. He is well trained. My son recently went to college and is no longer able to provide him with the proper care. I do not want to send Ice to a shelter. I would feel comfortable if he had a loving home. All of his shots are up-to-date. I am willing to negotiate the adoption fee. I can also provide food.

Kota

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

District Heights, MD

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Kota is a beautiful, energetic, playful, and wonderfully witty girl. At 4 years old and 70 pounds, she is a strong, fun-loving companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She absolutely loves her toys, especially anything shaped like fruit or food, and she will happily sit and lay down for plenty of tasty treats. Kota is potty trained and crate trained, making her transition into a new home easier. She can be a little cautious when meeting new people and other dogs, so she needs a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. Kota is sensitive to loud noises, loud voices, moving objects, and bugs, so a calm and patient environment would be best. She also tends to warm up more easily to women and may do best with a female adopter.

Leo

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Shih Tzu

Male, Adult

District Heights, MD

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I’m looking to find a loving new home for my sweet boy, Leo. This has been a very difficult decision, but I want to find a home where he can thrive. Leo is a 5-year-old Shorkie (Shih Tzu/Yorkshire Terrier mix) who weighs about 12 pounds. He’s playful, energetic, and loves being around people. He would do well with someone who has the time and patience to continue his training and provide him with plenty of attention and exercise. To be transparent, Leo does have some behavioral challenges. He barks frequently and marks inside the house, so he’ll need an owner who is willing to work with him on training and consistency. I believe he has the potential to improve in the right environment. His rabies vaccination is up to date, and I can share more information about his routine and personality with anyone who is seriously interested.
