Story
Winston was rescued as a puppy living life in a crate. He was brought home to relatives who are both wheelchair-bound. This puppy grew into a Great Dane, lol! Winston is currently more than his adult owners can physically keep up with. He is trained to an electronic collar so he can run around his country yard and play with the other dog from the house. He is good with kids and loves to sit on the couch like a human, with his front paws resting on the ground. He is a big happy gentle giant looking for a home that can help him expend his energy better. He is loves his toys and would especially love a person to play with him and a lap that he can sit on, lol! If you’re looking for a big gentle giant, please contact irondawgs13@gmail.com for adoption application.

She’s gentle, affectionate, and the kind of dog who seems to understand that life is better when it’s shared with people who care. Whether she’s lounging gracefully or leaning in for affection (classic Dane move!), Gabby is happy just being near her humans.     While Gabby is currently heartworm positive, the good news is that K-9 Lifesavers is covering her treatment, and with a little rest, TLC, and patience, she’ll be feeling like her best self in no time. If you’re ready for a big, beautiful best friend with an even bigger heart, Gabby is ready to join your pack.  Apply today!

His owner had to move and could not take him with her. He lived a lot of his life in Florida but is now back in the DMV. Bogie can by quite the character! He loves toys and people but would prefer to be your one and only. Meaning, he wants to be your only furry friend. Bogie will keep you lauging with his antics and would love for you to be his forever home. Bogie is very large and would do best with someone who is familiar with his breed or large breeds. Please consider bringing Bogie into your home!     Given his size and energy level, we recommend a home without small children. A nice yard is a must. This will provide him with the space he needs to romp and play to his heart's content. Bogey needs to learn boundaries and personal space with other dogs and he would really benefit from a home that can provide him with training and guidance in socializing with his canine friends.     Bogey's affectionate nature and goofball personality makes him a wonderful potential family member for the right household. It's clear that he just needs someone who understands his needs and breed, and is willing to provide the necessary guidance and training to ensure he thrives in a new home. If someone is willing to give him a chance, they will be rewarded with a loyal and entertaining companion.Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training.

Story
Daisy is the epitome of ‘I’m just a girl’—a giant love bug, smart, curious, a little bit of a drama queen, and lives for a good snack. She is learning (and doing great!) with leash manners, has “sit” down pat, and is a social butterfly! Since she has perfected her Great Dane lean, she’d do best in a home with kids that are old enough to hold their own—only because she isn’t quite aware that she is a miniature horse. She’s been around kids 7+ and was inducted into their girl gang, so I’m taking that to be a great sign she’d do amazing with 2 legged siblings. Daisy has lived the good life being a stay at home couch dog in foster care and doesn’t mind being on her own during the days, but has told me she would thrive being around more people during the day for lunch dates in the middle of their wfh day—social butterfly, remember! On the practical side of things, she’d be ok in an apartment but better in a house. No large yard needed. She’s low-moderate on the energy scale and enjoys leisurely walks and will play toy for a bit before chilling out. She settles pretty easily and can be crated, but doesn’t NEED to be. Housebroken, doesn’t show signs of resource guarding, has not been exposed to cats or small dogs. Watching Daisy heal, grow, and having her personality emerge has been such a treat—the big, high value treats. If it were up to Grandpa & Grandma Foster, she would already have a new forever home—unfortunately, their current dogs feel differently. She’ll be an amazing addition to any family and bring you so much joy! Daisy will be available the beginning of February. Children 10+ Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.

Story
Current Location: Frederick, MD Meet Blackberry: A Loveable Companion Who Just Wants to Be Part of the Pack This curious, silly, utterly loveable boy has one simple wish: to be where his people are. Blackberry is the kind of puppy who will steal your heart with his affectionate nature and his deep desire to be included in every moment of family life. He adores being around adults, children, and other dogs, soaking up all the love and companionship he can get. Blackberry is food motivated and treat enthusiastic (he loves his Hills Science food, mini milk bone biscuits, cheese, and kongs stuffed with peanut butter), which makes training a joy. He's already shown he's a smart cookie who needs and enjoys mental stimulation like working kongs and treat dispenser puzzle balls. He's making progress on potty training with fewer accidents each day, and while he still has his baby teeth and can get nippy and mouthy as puppies do, he's learning what's appropriate to chew on with proper supervision. His energy comes in delightful bursts throughout the day, followed by content naps on his puppy bed near his people. At night, he loves to sleep with company, settling in peacefully when he's not alone. He enjoys different types of toys, from benebones for chewing to plush toys for playing, and he's curious about the yard, though he's still figuring out this whole leash walking thing and can be a bit scared and confused by it. Here's what Blackberry needs you to know: he really does not like to be alone. He will let you know with whines, howls, and his best protests that he wants to be part of the action. He's even shown his determination by breaking out of his crate because being separated from his family just isn't his style. Blackberry would thrive in a home with someone who works from home or is around during the day, ideally with children and other dogs who can be his constant companions. He needs a family who understands that his clinginess isn't a flaw but simply proof of how much love he has to give. If you're looking for a sweet, silly shadow who will follow you everywhere and fill your home with puppy joy, Blackberry is your boy.
