Dante

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 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

Dante is a sweet, affectionate, and low-maintenance dog with a gentle, goofy personality. Dante is very intelligent, responds well to commands, and absolutely loves to cuddle—this is one of his favorite things and definitely worth emphasizing! Dante is fully potty trained and sleeps through the night without waking up early. He rarely has accidents and will usually let you know when he needs to go outside. He isn’t overly energetic, making him a great companion for a calmer household, but he does enjoy playing with his stuffed toys and happily chewing on bones. He is also great with kids (with supervision due to his size) and has lived happily with another dog in the past. Making the decision to re-home Dante has been incredibly difficult. I am moving out of the country to attend a two-year graduate program, and unfortunately I don’t have the financial means to bring him with me. My priority is finding him a loving, stable home where he will continue to be cherished.

Story

Bruno is approx. 7 years old and is loyal, but he is not very comfortable with children. He loves to sit on the sofa with his bff and watch tv or take a nap. He has been with our family his entire life, but he needs a home with a loving person who can spend lots of time with each day. He likes to go to the office, car rides and is trained to stay in the confines of a gate when he is home alone. We are not charging a fee, we just want Bruno to go to a loving home that is a good fit.

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. 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!

Tucker

Beagle Jack Russell Terrier

Male, Adult

Gaithersburg, MD

Size

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

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.
