Story
Meet Gumbo — the definition of a grateful good boy. Gumbo is a medium-sized sweetheart who has truly come into his own. Now at his healthy, ideal weight, he’s gained not just strength but confidence too — and it shows in everything he does. Once a little shy, Gumbo is now playful, affectionate, and full of heart. He’s fully potty trained, loves his toys, and has mastered tug-of-war — though despite being super strong, he sweetly lets his foster sister win so the game can keep going. Gumbo is incredibly eager to please, very food motivated, and learning how to communicate his needs more every day. This boy adores a good snuggle and wants nothing more than to be close to his people. He’s thoughtful with other dogs, responsive to their cues, and has a gentle, respectful way about him. Gumbo truly seems to understand that he’s been given a second chance — he doesn’t take a soft bed, a kind hand, or a full belly for granted. And if you’re cooking? Don’t worry — Gumbo will be right there, ready to assist with any floor clean-up duties. 😉 Gumbo is loyal, loving, and endlessly appreciative of the life he’s been given. He’s not just looking for a home — he’s ready to give his whole heart to it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities.

Story
*** 50% of Daisy's adoption fee is sponsored by Petfinder *** Meet Daisy, the "who needs a personal space bubble?" cuddle queen with a heart as big as her 57 -pound frame! This happy-go-lucky girl is a lovable pitbull/bat/cow mix (yes, we’re serious, she’s that cool) who is now 2 years old. She's the best snuggler you could ever ask for—her favorite place is always someone's lap, so if you’re into lap dogs, she’s your girl! Daisy may have a medium energy level, but she’s all about those walks, playtime, and mental stimulation. She’s a tug-of-war champ and — she’s potty trained, and knows a whole bunch of tricks like sit, paw, touch, and down! She’s got those manners down! Daisy loves other dogs, especially if they’re up for some playtime. She is a second dog required which means she has to have a doggy friend at home. She’s good with older kids and would fit right in with an active family who can help her continue her training (she might need a little help with not jumping on humans and polishing her walking skills—no biggie, though!). Daisy had a rough start, ending up at the PG County shelter as a stray and almost losing her chance at a happily ever after. But we couldn’t let that happen, so we swooped in and saved her life. She’s been with us since June 2024, and now she’s ready for a forever home that will love her goofy, joyful self just as much as we do. Could that be with you? -------------------------------------- ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities.

Story
Hello! I'm Josephine Yam Candy - better known as Josie - idk why they gave me this ridiculous name?! I guess I'm sweet and soft and like a potato! I ended up at a high volume, open intake shelter with my sister and now I'm learning what it means to be a pet and how to dog! I love other dogs - they make me feel safe around people. People . . . I'm uncertain in a, give me time kinda way. I just need to make sure you know how to give me the best pets first, ya know? I'm all about head and chest rubs and once you've proven your worthiness, butt scratches are my jam! I'm a pretty chill girlie who will happily hang out in my crate. I love to snuffle and have been known to make cute little snorts. I'm also a chewer, a toy fiend, and have adorable bursts of zoomies in the yard! I'm just a playful girl that's learning how great life can be! --- Dog's like Josie are super rewarding! She's gentle, quiet, calm and just needs the kindness and patience of a household with at least one other dog to help her come into her own. We are sure she'll open up with time and will fit into so many different homes! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities.
