Story
🐾 Looking for the perfect mix of playful and snuggly? Meet your new best friend! 🐾 This beautiful 5-year-old Labrador Retriever is ready to find the forever family she's been waiting for! She absolutely lives for a game of fetch—and trust us, she's a pro! Whether you're looking for a walking partner, a backyard playmate, or a loyal companion, she's always ready for fun. When playtime is over, she's just as happy curling up beside you for cuddles and relaxing at the end of the day. She is dog selective, so she would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves or with slow introductions to other dogs. Because of her energy and personality, we're looking for a mature home or one with children 15 years or older. She's already: ❤️ Spayed 💉 Up to date on vaccinations 🦟 Heartworm negative 🐾 Ready to start her next chapter This sweet girl has so much love to give and is hoping someone will give her the chance she deserves. Could that someone be you?

Story
Meet Munchie! 9 Years Old • Labrador Retriever Mix • Male (Neutered) • Brown • Available in Shelter Compatibility & Care Dogs: Unknown. Munchie arrived with another dog, Buster, but hasn't yet had the opportunity to participate in playgroup or interact directly with other dogs at the shelter. His previous owner described him as generally aloof around other dogs. Cats: Unknown. His previous owner reported that he barked or growled at other species, including cats and small animals. Direct interactions at the shelter have not been assessed. Small Animals: Unknown. Children: Has previously been around children of various ages, according to his previous owner. Energy Level: Low-Medium. Best Home: Munchie would make a lovely companion for someone looking for a more mature, easygoing dog who appreciates the simple things in life. He's not looking for a nonstop adventure or a packed daily schedule. A home with leisurely walks, opportunities to explore, tasty treats, and a comfortable place to relax sounds right up his alley. If you're hoping to skip the puppy stage and enjoy the company of a more laidback companion, Munchie might be just the dog you've been looking for! Medical Needs: No known medical concerns reported at intake. Training: Knows basic commands, including sit. Enjoys walks and is generally moderate on leash. His previous owner reported that he is both potty trained and crate trained. 💙 About Munchie "Big ears, bigger personality, and always room for a treat!" If you're looking for a dog who has already figured out that life is better when you slow down and enjoy the little things, allow us to introduce you to Munchie! This nine-year-old Labrador Retriever mix has a relaxed outlook on life, a love for snacks, and possibly one of the most entertaining sets of ears we've seen in a while. And speaking of those ears... Munchie has a look all his own! One ear likes to stand straight up while the other takes a more relaxed approach and flops down. It's almost like he's picking up different radio stations, and honestly, we think it just adds to his charm. You won't have any trouble picking him out of a crowd! Munchie is a pretty easygoing guy who enjoys getting outside and stretching his legs. He likes going for walks, especially when there's plenty of time to stop, sniff, and investigate all the interesting smells along the way. Think more leisurely nature walk than power walk. He's generally easy to walk and is happy to take in his surroundings without needing to rush through the experience. Give him some time in the yard and he'll happily wander around, explore, and do a little investigating on his own. He's not looking for someone to keep him entertained every minute of the day. Munchie seems perfectly content having the opportunity to explore at his own pace before moving on to the next important part of his day. Now, if there's one way to get Munchie's attention, treats are a pretty good place to start! He's a fan of tasty snacks and also enjoys frozen enrichment, which gives him something fun to work on and enjoy. A little treat here, a little enrichment there, and we suspect you'll have one very satisfied gentleman on your hands! Munchie also knows a few basic manners, including sit. His previous owner shared that he is potty trained and crate trained, which is helpful information for anyone considering welcoming him into their home. Munchie came to Caroline County Humane Society as an owner surrender after his family was moving and could no longer keep their dogs. He arrived alongside another dog, but now it's Munchie's turn to find a home of his own! He's ready for a fresh start, a comfortable place to call home, and someone who will appreciate all the little things that make him such a fun companion. We hope his next chapter includes plenty of leisurely walks, tasty treats, and a family who loves his one-of-a-kind ears as much as we do! We think Munchie could be a wonderful match for someone who appreciates the charm of an older dog. Maybe you're past the puppy stage, don't need a jogging partner, and would much rather have a companion to join you for a peaceful walk, explore the occasional nature trail, or hang out while you enjoy a quiet afternoon. If that sounds like your kind of company, Munchie might just be your guy! So, what do you say? Is there room in your life for a little Munchie? He's got the ears, the personality, and the snack appreciation down pat. All he's missing is a place to call home! Why Munchie Is One of a Kind ✔️ One ear up, one ear down, and twice the charm! ✔️ Sweet, mature companion ✔️ Low-to-medium energy level ✔️ Enjoys leisurely walks and nature strolls ✔️ Loves sniffing and exploring ✔️ Independent yard explorer ✔️ Knows basic commands like sit ✔️ Potty trained and crate trained, according to his previous owner ✔️ Enjoys tasty treats and frozen enrichment ✔️ Has mastered the art of taking life at his own pace ✔️ Plenty of personality packed into one lovable Munchie! 📍 Come meet Munchie at Caroline County Humane Society! 407 W. Belle Street, Ridgely, MD www.carolinehumane.org adoptions@carolinehumane.org 410-820-1600

Story
Freyja is an owner loving high energy dog who can get rowdy and rambunctious. She is house trained and crate trained. She generally has been able to be around other animals all this time even cats. I’m unsure of her exact age due to getting her from someone who no longer wanted her as a puppy due to her playful gentle nature and didn’t have papers for her. She should be about 5 years old. I am looking for a home who is able to accommodate her high energy and want to run and play with a fenced yard.
