Story
Current Location: Frederick, MD Gambet is a great big, tender, and kind gentleman with a soft heart and soulful eyes. From the moment he arrived, he began looking to his people for guidance, quietly asking for reassurance and comfort. He is gentle, thoughtful, and deeply affectionate. As he settles in, Gambet has shown just how trusting he is. His ears were dirty when he arrived, and he calmly let them be cleaned. He even allowed a nail trim on each front paw without fuss. He loves being brushed, enjoys hands-on care, and happily leans in for pets. He sheds quite a bit, but grooming time is something he seems to find soothing and bonding. Gambet potties outside and slept well through the night. He whined a little at first, then settled and rested peacefully. He did not eat until the next morning, likely still decompressing and wondering where his old family went, but once comfortable, he ate and relaxed. He still whines softly from time to time, which feels less like anxiety and more like a gentle check-in with the world around him. He knows basic commands like sit and paw and is eager to please. He has already started giving sweet kisses and shows how much he enjoys human connection. Right now, you will often find him resting quietly, soaking up affection, and slowly learning that he is safe. Gambet is a very good boy with a huge heart. He will thrive with someone patient and kind who understands that sensitive souls need reassurance as they begin again. In return, Gambet will offer loyalty, affection, and steady companionship.

Story
Little Bear is a 5-year-old Labrador Retriever/Beagle mix with a mostly black coat and a heart full of love for his people. This sweet boy adores adults and thrives on human companionship. He's affectionate, loves to snuggle, and gets genuinely excited when visitors come to the home. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will make you the center of his world, Little Bear is ready to be your shadow. Little Bear does best in a calm, predictable environment where he can be the main focus. He's housetrained, does well in the yard, and walks decently on leash without pulling. He's treat motivated and enjoys all the pets and attention you can give him. While Little Bear loves people, he's much more selective about canine company. He needs slow, measured introductions with other dogs, as quick meetings can overwhelm him and cause him to cower or retreat. He may tolerate another dog in the home, but he tends to tire of them after a while and would honestly prefer to have his humans all to himself. When encountering dogs on walks, he'll pull on the leash to escape the situation. His ideal home would be with adults only or a family with older, respectful children who understand his need for a peaceful environment. Little Bear is looking for someone who wants a devoted one-on-one relationship with a dog who will give them his whole heart. Requirements: Calm home, adults or older children, ideally the only pet or very careful consideration with other dogs.

Story
House trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Noise level: Super quiet My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Portia is what a champion snuggle bug she is! Likes: Walks, playing with toys, cuddling, riding in the car Hello there! Im Portia! My foster family describes me as a super sweet, gentle, well-behaved girl who loves her people and is super eager to please. They say that for being so young (Im still a puppy after all!), Im amazingly easy. I am still a little bit unsure about this whole city living thing, and Ill need a family who can help me build confidence, but trust that once I settle in, Im going to be somebodys best dog ever! I like to spend my days cuddling with my people, enjoying my toys, and playing with other dogs. My foster family thinks that Id do great in a home with a canine sibling or maybe even a cat. I havent lived with a cat before, but I couldnt care less about birds or squirrels when they walk in front of me during walks, so thats a good sign that Id be a cat friendly pup. One of my favorite places to be is in my crate. Its definitely my safe space, where I can be cozy, and relax and recharge. Now that Im settling in with my foster family, I also like to snooze on the couch and cuddle with them in their bed. Im a champion snuggler, and know exactly how to curl up next to my people to snooze the night away! Ive had a lot of change in my young life, and Im still processing it all. But as I start to feel safe with my foster family, and come out of my shell, they are seeing more and more of my fun personality every day! I cant wait to share that with my forever family too! If youre looking for a loyal, loving pup who is a great listener, and an even more amazing cuddler, Im your girl! Apply to adopt me today!

Story
House trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Noise level: Barks occasionally My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Luna is just how sweet she is! Likes: hiking, napping, chewing on bones, playing with other dogs Hi there! Im Luna! My foster family describes me as happy, gentle, playful, and curious! In other words, Im all the fun parts of a puppy, without the extra work of training and socialization, because Ive already been there, done that! My foster family also says that of all the dogs theyve fostered, Im the one that theyve come the closest to foster failing with! Hear that folks? Theres some competition! Youd better snap me up quick! I ended up at the shelter after my previous family left me behind on their property when they moved. That was sad, and I still dont understand why they were done loving me, because I wasnt done loving them. But its okay, Im not dwelling on it! Im looking ahead to brighter days! Life at the shelter was okay (I was everybodys favorite, so that made things pretty easy), but things really started looking up when I met my awesome foster family! Living with a family again is the best! I love them so much! One of my favorite things to do is follow my foster mom around the house to keep her company while shes doing chores or working from home. Im always happy to get some snacks or pets in too! I like napping near her, and being a part of whatever activity shes up to. When Im not hanging out with my humans, I love spending time with my 2 foster doggy foster siblings! We play at the park together, go for long walks together, cuddle together, and keep each other company when our humans go to work. My foster family says that Im super respectful of their space, and I dont have any problem sharing toys or snacks. In addition to being very polite and easy-going, Im also totally potty trained, dont chew on things Im not supposed to, can stay home alone outside of my crate no problem, and even know a few tricks! Allow me to astound you. I know sit and off! You may now clap. Id be happy to learn even more with my forever family, whatever makes them happy! Im a girl in her golden years whos looking for a cozy spot to land where I can get all the love I deserve. Im more than willing to give humans a second chance, so now I just need someone to return the favor. Ive got so much love and joy to give, and I just want to share it! Think we might be a match?

Story
House trained: Yes Energy level: High Noise level: Barks occasionally My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Erwin is how he chases his tail! Hes so silly! Likes: Walks, going for runs, playing at the dog park Hi, Im Erwin! My foster family describes me as a super smart, snuggly boy who loves to play! Im a curious guy, and like to be involved in everything thats happening around the house! I help out by following my foster mom from room to room to make sure she isnt lonely while shes doing housework, and sitting next to her while she's working from home. Once were out and about, I like to explore everything I can, and sniff all the smells! I also love stopping by the dog park to play, and I always have a blast when I get to see my friends at daycare too! I also enjoy playing with my toys, working on food puzzles, and snacking on my chews. My special favorite are the yak cheese ones. Have you tried those? Theyre the best! Ive been working with a trainer to help build up my confidence, and to become the best boy ever for my future family! I love training, and Im looking for a family who enjoy helping me keep up my skills and learn new tricks too! Im a smart cookie, and I already know a ton! Im potty trained and crate trained, and I also know sit, down, come, stay, off, heel, and place, and Im practising my leash skills every single day. I like when my routine stays the same, and I know what to expect from my day. A family who will be able to keep my schedule consistent is going to be the best fit for me! Im also still getting used to city life (you try moving from the middle of nowhere to a major metropolis), and I dont love loud noises. Id probably do best with a family who lives outside of the city, and who have a yard where I can relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. I cant wait to join my forever family and give them all of my love! If you think we might be a match, apply to adopt me today!

Story
Don't miss out on this gorgeous chocolate-coated boy! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Meet Jupiter aka Juju. He loves walks, playing tug-a-war, and doing food puzzles. He's one smart cookie! He has made SUCH incredible progress in the couple of months he has spent with his foster, working very hard to be a good boy. His biggest struggle is leash reactivity. It has been so rewarding to see his improvement through patient time spent outdoors, lots of treats and affirmation, and space from triggers (other dogs and bikes). Jupiter's special talent is that he can also jump baby gates and lock doors! He aims to please, loves to snug and give little kisses. He will need to keep working on his confidence around other dogs. We suspect that he will make a great running buddy. He has a good handle on potty training. Juju is quite comfortable in his crate, but sometimes feels left out and will let you know about it! He is a big ball of joy and will make a wonderful addition to an active home! -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.
