Roxie

Labrador Retriever

Female, Senior
Damascus, MD

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Roxie is an extremely sweet old girl (~9 yrs old), we have had her for about 5 years. She loves to snuggle with her family and stare out of windows. Roxie would be best suited for a low energy household with an experienced dog owner. Roxie might work in a home with cats, she is mostly afraid of them. Unfortunately she is fairly dog adverse. We have conducted a lot of training with her to learn how to redirect her attention and manage a walk when she sees other dogs. It is possible for her to bond and learn to love another dog, but there would probably be a fight or two until a pecking order is established. She has been living with a hound dog for the last 3 years, and it took ~3 months or so for them to establish a healthy relationship. Roxie is not a fan of children, mostly because of the high energy. Her first line of defense is to run away and hide. Living with a toddler is causing her too much undue stress. She handles soft pets and playing when kids are very calm.

Story
Hello, my name is Lady and I am a 3 year old boxer mix. Unfortunately, I am having to be rehome because I am no longer getting along with my brother. I am looking for a home where I am the only dog around. I am very friendly and lovable towards humans and love to cuddle! I love going on car rides with the windows down and long walks/hikes. I can also be a couch potato. A little quirk of mine; if I sleep in bed with you, I must go under the covers.

Xena is a black mixed breed dog, 9.5 years old, and 38 pounds. She loves to chew a bone and sleep on the couch all day. She is in good health based on her most recent exam (December 2023). A great fit would be a loving home with no other dogs/pets.

Everett

Great Pyrenees Husky

Male, Adult
Union Bridge, MD
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Everett came to us as a stray from animal control. He was wary of people. He has been at the Happy Hounds Prison Dog Program for several months and has done very well! Everett is a really great dog and should be somewhere he can have a large fenced yard to play in and patrol. At first we thought Everett was a farm dog, but the husky in him does not make him suitable for farm life. Everett needs to form a bond with his person/people. He doesn't tolerate strangers and will alert them that they are unwelcome. Everett is truly a working dog whose sole purpose in life is to protect his people and property. He is not a social dog per se except with his owner(s) and family members. Because of his protective nature, he would do better in a home without children. If you are looking for a dog to protect you, your family, and your property, Everest is your boy....AND he's housebroken and obedience trained! Anyone willing to take a couple of days to bond with Everett will find out what a special dog he is; VERY loyal. He's a beautiful, smart, sweet boy that we think would love to have a family and home of his own. Please spread the word about Everett so he can have his forever family soon! Everett is ready to be adopted. Whoever adopts this beautiful boy will need to understand that it will take a little time to bond. Once that bond is created Everett will be the perfect dog. He will protect the family and property, Update from his trainer: Week 24. Not much more to say about Everett. He a Pyrenees and needs a furever home that understands the breed. He bonds strongly with his people in about 2 days. He will always be a guard dog (in his DNA). He will always protect his people. He knows are his commands and cues. Everett is a very humble and observant dog especially to strangers. He does guard his "space". He is not actively involved with any other dogs. No issues with toys or food. He's more of a guarder around his "home". Overall, Everett is a great dog as long as he acknowledges their trust which has to be earned. He knows his commands/cues like sit, down. He isn't destructive and a good leash walker (unless he sees something that distracts him). He is particularly annoyed by trucks for some reason, so a fenced yard is a must.
