Story
Maximus is a 1.5 year old good boy who is just not adjusting well to our new baby. We have been trying for the last 9 months and even sent him to a board and train to help him succeed. We love him to much to watch him not be his happy self. Maximus is:• Purebred white Shepherd and AKC registered• Off-leash trained• Housetrained and spayed/neutered• Great at meeting people• Good in group play at our boarderHe does well overall but gets anxious and has intermittently gotten possessive of items like a toy or food. This only started since baby was born. He is a sweet boy who just needs a place where he can run or someone willing to walk multiple times a day.All toys, harness, food and crate go with him

Story
Meet Belinda! Belinda is proof that good things come in puppy-sized packages. This adorable 11-week-old girl is ready to leave her shelter days behind and start the next—and best—chapter of her life with a family of her very own.Belinda was born on July 4, 2026, and comes from a pretty fun family tree. Belinda currently weighs 14 pounds. Her mom is a 25-pound Lab mix, while her dad is a 40-pound Bulldog/Rat Terrier/Lab mix. Belinda and her siblings were surrendered to the shelter in hopes of finding loving forever homes.With her gorgeous chocolate-brown-and-tan coat and classic Doberman-style coloring, Belinda has an adorable look that’s impossible to resist. But her sweet puppy personality is what really steals the show. Belinda is happy to get out there, explore the world, meet new friends, and investigate whatever fun might be happening around her. She’s affectionate, playful, and always ready to be part of the action.Belinda is dog friendly and we think she would be especially happy with another friendly dog in her forever home. Having a canine buddy to play with, learn from, and eventually snuggle with would be a wonderful addition to her new life.Of course, Belinda is still a puppy—which means she’s adorable, enthusiastic, and very much a work in progress. Her forever family should be prepared to help her learn all those important puppy skills, including basic obedience, leash manners, housetraining, and proper socialization. With patience, consistency, love, and plenty of tasty treats, we know this little girl is going to grow into an amazing companion.Belinda is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, which means you can welcome her into your home while she completes her veterinary care, including her vaccines, microchip, and spay. Ready to meet this sweet little chocolate-and-tan girl? Please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and complete an adoption application online. Belinda’s adoption fee is $200.Please remember that puppies are a lifetime commitment. They require lots of time, patience, training, and work—but in return, they give their families a lifetime of unconditional love, loyalty, laughs, and puppy kisses.

Story
Meet Dobby ❤️ Dobby is a 45-pound Mountain Cur looking for a loving, permanent home that is a good fit for his personality and needs. Dobby is a smart, energetic, curious boy with a big personality. He loves being outside, going for walks, exploring, and keeping an eye on everything happening around him. Like many Mountain Curs, he has a strong prey drive and is very interested in wildlife, so he needs a secure yard and supervision when he's outside. He does best with routine, structure, exercise, and an owner who understands energetic, instinct-driven dogs. He currently enjoys two walks a day and time outside to burn off energy and explore. Dobby can be anxious and vocal at times, and he isn't always the easiest dog. He needs someone who will be patient with him, give him clear boundaries, and take the time to understand him rather than expecting him to be perfect. He has a lot of love and personality to give to the right person. ❤️ Please reach out if interested.

Story
Farley is a fun, active boy who loves to smother you with love in his downtime. He will be one year old in October and hopes he can celebrate his birthday with a special family who will spoil him endlessly. Farley would love a yard to run around in, play fetch, and chase any ball he can get his snout on. He would do best with a fenced yard to get all his energy out safely along with a dog-free home. Farley is still working on taking treats and food patiently but he is a very motivated young boy. He knows several commands including sit, stay, come, and leave it. He will follow you around and become your shadow in no time. Got kids? He will give all the kisses and attention. Farley just needs the right home where he can flourish and live his best life!
