Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.We pulled Pumpkin from our local animal control because of her winning personality and our feeling that she would not get adopted.  She is such a sweet dog who has suffered from negect that resulted in bald patches and hair loss all over her body and she just needed some TLC.  She has had at least one and likely many litters but will be spayed soon and will start her vaccines right away. In the meantime she is getting plenty of food and rest in a quiet environment with several walks a day and access to her own enclosure via a dog door.  She would be the perfect dog for a "mature" home as she is very easy to walk, is friendly to everyone she meets, is dog and cat friendly and a true "easy keeper".Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 16, 2025, 2:48 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Update- Diamond and Opal are fat and happy and eating solid food as well as getting their shots. Get those applications in as these girls will make wonderful family dogs having been raised with nothing but love.  Opal and her sister Diamond were part of a 9 pup litter born to a mother dog in a shelter.  The mom died when they were a week old and KMR took in 2 to a foster home to be raised by hand.  They are being fed every 3 hours until they are able to eat solid food.  Both are sweet and will be available for adoption after 8 weeks to adopters on the ESVA, and lower MD.  Once they are spayed they can be adopted out of the area but we do not adopt to homes more than 2-3 hours from Berlin, MD.  We are still learning about their personalities and will update as we get to know them better.  Puppies are a lot of work and require exercise and training so if you work 10 hours daily they are probably not a good choice for you. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 27, 2025, 1:29 pm
