Story
Hello I got Lucky when she was a little over a year old from a shelter. She was abused and not treated well before me. She can be very defensive and become scared. She is very sweet in many many ways. However an adult needs to adopt her with no children in the house. My step daughter does not understand how to be gentle and patient with the dog and Lucky will snap and nip at my step daughter. When it was just me and lucky everything was fine. She needs to be with someone who does not have children in the house. She’s very sweet in many many ways and deserves a great home. She will be 10 in February and I want her to be able to live the rest of her life in a loving home. She is very loving and such a great companion.

Story
Hi! This is Estella a 3 year old Presa Canario mix that we rescued from the Hagerstown Humane Society when she was 11 months old. She is potty trained, kennel trained, and can even ring a bell to signal when she needs to use the restroom! She loves to go on walks and appreciates a good cuddle. She’s very receptive to training and treat motivated. I love my sweet girl but I am moving out of state and unfortunately cannot take her with me. She has lived with cats and interacts very well with them however, she has not lived with another dog. She has experience at the local dog park and plays well with other dogs. Hopefully we can find Estella a perfect home!

Story
Willow is a beautiful 1.5-year-old American Staffordshire mix who weighs about 48 lbs. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and healthy. She’s an incredibly friendly, gentle, and affectionate girl who loves people, kids, and other animals — including dogs and cats! Willow enjoys playtime, cuddles, and being part of the family. We’re heartbroken to rehome her, but we recently welcomed a new baby and are finding it hard to balance caring for both right now. We want her to have the time, attention, and love she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, well-mannered companion, Willow will make a wonderful addition to your family.

Story
This is my sweet girl, Lady. She is 3years old, as of December 25th, 2025. Lady is spayed, fully house broken, around 95-105lbs, pure bred Bi-color German Shepherd. She does great with kids, and people, but has to be the only animal as she is highly aggressive towards them. No cats, other dogs etc I adopted her last November 11, 2024. She has since been my very best friend, and more importantly, family. However with my health, and nature of work, I am now unable to give her as much attention as she deserves. Lady is very energetic, loves to play and run around so a spacey backyard (**preferably fenced in**) is absolutely necessary. She is used to multi-mile walks each day, toys and puzzles for mental stimulation when attention isn't available from myself or others. Lady needs a family that loves to play, plenty of toys, belly rubs are her utmost favorite thing is this world, and plenty of love. She needs to be adopted by the 11th, as care after that date can no longer be provided.
