Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Tucker is a very loving dog that wants to be around people all the time. He was acquired from the Montgomery County Humane Society Animal Shelter in 2016 when he was about a year and half. Tucker is now 10 years old but still holds all that same energy as he did all those years ago. He is very friendly with all other dogs, but very instinct-heavy with cats (he thinks almost all other animals are for game hunting). We have tried training him to behave better with our cat in the house to no avail after several years. Tucker loves long walks and eating good (definitely will try to beg for food or maybe even steal your food if you're not looking). If you're looking for a dog that can go with you in any outdoor environment this is the dog for you.

Story

Rick is a golden retriever hound pit mix who is very food motivated! He works outstanding with any dog he meets, he play with any dog of any size and temperament. He is protective of the family which means while in the home, he is wary of guests. He does not like to be pet directly on the head (stranger danger!) He loves to snuggle with family and he is very effectionate with children and babies. Though it may take some time for him to warm up to his new family! Hes loves to hiking, running, and general play! Due to some personal matters and our first baby we are unable to give him the quality time and play he needs. Truly wanting him to go to a nice and loving home. Please feel free to message about anything you are interested in, TIA!

Chicken

Mutt

Female, Young

Gaithersburg, MD

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Chicken is a red heeler chihuahua mix with a huge personality and an even bigger love for fetch and I mean she loves it. She’s super affectionate and adores being close to her people, but she also appreciates her own space and downtime and settles well when it’s time to relax. Chicken does great with other dogs and is wonderful with kids, making her an overall amazing family dog. She’s never been around cats, so we’re not sure how she’d do in a home with them. She’s also a fantastic adventure buddy: she loves hiking, has great recall, and is the kind of dog that makes being outdoors even more fun. We recently welcomed a newborn baby, and as much as we love Chicken, we’re not able to give her the quality time, attention, and daily play she deserves right now so we’re looking for a loving home where she can get the time and companionship she needs. Truly wanting her to go to a loving home. Please feel free to message me for more information, TIA!

Oxford

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Gaithersburg, MD

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hello everyone, unfortunately I'm moving and I'm unable to bring with me. Oxford is a 7 year Pit Bull that we it adopted 6 years ago. He is 45 Ib, he is up-to-date with all of the shots, and he's neutered. He gets along with children and he is very selective with other dogs, and he has a high prey drive, so I doubt a good match with small animals. I have no idea if he would get along with cats. He's a very affectionate dog with some separation anxiety. He comes from a loving home and I am looking for a loving home to take him.
