Story
  Allow me to introduce Smith! This precious boy is around 6 months old. We believe he is a rat terrier mix. This little guy, along with 2 others were dumped on a back country road and left for dead. An amazing woman posted them in her neighborhood app and Renee immediately called us after she received the notification. We happily said yes, as the freeze was coming. We wanted them out of the cold.Smith has really opened up since he has been in rescue.  He is a silly boy but mostly just a total sweetheart He is friendly with everyone and everything. He will make the great addition to a wonderful family.Smith is neutered, HW-negative, current on vaccines and preventions, microchipped and comes with a special geo tag. If you feel Smith is your next fur child, then please visit our website to fill out an application!www.TiggerTown.com  ##2292938##

Story
Hello, darlings. My name is Tiara – and yes, I am royalty. I may only weigh 10 pounds, but don’t let that fool you—I’ve got a big heart, a soft soul, and a serious love for laps. I’m 8 years young, and while I’ve traded in my puppy zoomies for cozy cuddles and dignified strolls, I still have plenty of pep in my step. Especially if there’s a squeaky toy involved. I adore those things. They`re like little squeaky treasures.I’m a total love-bug once I get to know you—being held and snuggling in a warm, calm lap is basically my idea of heaven. New places and unfamiliar sounds can make me a bit unsure at first, but with a gentle hand and a little patience, I warm up quickly. I’ve spent my life with kind adults, so I’d probably do best in a home with older, respectful children or just grown-ups who understand that little queens like me need to feel safe.Now, let’s talk about other dogs. I’m polite, but I prefer companions who are my size or smaller. I don’t mean to be dramatic, but when you`re 10 pounds, a golden retriever looks like a horse. I`m more into the teacup party crowd than the stampede!I would thrive in a quiet home where I can relax, get my daily walks in (they’re my favorite part of the day!), and spend quality time being your loyal, tiny shadow. I’m low-maintenance in energy, but high-maintenance in love—and I promise to return every ounce of affection you give me. If you`re looking for a sweet, elegant little companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side (or on your lap), I just might be your girl.Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours (Mon: 12-4pm and Tues-Sun: 12-5pm) to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2

Story
I am a 8 year old Rat terrier mix. My foster mom says I am the most pleasant and friendly guy. I am housebroken, crate trained, love to take walks and totally enjoy a car ride- I’m always the first one in the car! Unfortunately my previous owner didn’t think dental care was important so recently I had to have 30 teeth removed, I still have two. I feel like a new dog! I can run around and enjoy life, I have no more pain. I am eating canned or softened dry for two weeks then I can eat dry kibble. I am looking for my own family I can love and enjoy, I will easily be your new best friend. ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Review our adoption contract and application. 2. Call your vet and references to inform them that a rescue representative will be calling. 3. Complete adoption application and submit following appropriate link below: Dog/Puppy: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Dog Cat/kitten: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Cat It takes us about 1-3 days to process applications. Once approved, we ask that all members of the household (including dogs) be available for meeting the animal within 5 days. If the meeting goes well, you will submit payment electronically and be able to take your new family member home with you immediately! If for whatever reason you do not take the animal home after the first meeting, please understand that we will continue to process applications for the animal and availability is not guaranteed. 4. Please review these resources prior to the meeting to be prepared with what to expect when bringing a new dog home: a.

Lucy is a 1-2 yr old sweet girl. She weighs 6 lbs and is fully vetted. She is a little shy and timid so we recommend no toddlers as they may scare her. She is a healthy girl. She also has a brother Linus. We would love to keep them together if possible.  ##2382603##
