Story
This is Tyson, he was given to us by a close friend who moved to California, Tyson is 9 months , at the time we lived in a house so he was much more manageable and free, we recently moved to a condominium and we don't have as much space anymore as well as our whole family is extremely busy and we hardly have time for Tyson:( .we have had him for about 6-7 months and they have been great but have just gotten difficult, he’s also a very playful dog but he is a big dog.he’s also very kind and can be destructive but He is not aggressive at all. unfortunately we can no longer care for him and as the cold approaches we’re afraid we wont be able to take care of Tyson anymore. We are hoping to find a caring and very loving adoptive owner as soon as possible!

Story
Kodi is a 10-year-old small terrier mix with a black coat, a perfectly frosted nose, and absolutely no idea that he’s considered a “senior.” He’s got the energy of a dog years younger and keeps up just fine with his much younger foster siblings.Kodi loves his people. Like… loves them. If you’re in a room, he will be too. If you’re sitting, he’s beside you. If you’re lying down, expect kisses. About 95% of his time is spent being with his humans; the other 5% is split between sleeping in the bed, destroying toys (mini-terrier style), and waiting for dinner like it’s the most important event of the day.He is crate trained, potty trained (the few accidents were human error, not his), knows “sit,” and walks nicely on leash. He enjoys his walks, is easy to leash, and greets new people and dogs with enthusiasm. He can be a little barky and extra friendly at first, but it’s all just excitement — he genuinely wants to be everyone’s best friend.Kodi has no behavioral issues and a whole lot of love to give. He hasn’t met cats yet, but given his size and friendly nature, a confident cat would likely roll their eyes and move on.If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, a professional cuddle bug, and a dog who will celebrate your return home like it’s the best moment of his life, Kodi is ready to sign up for forever. If you’d like to take Kodi home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $150 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have started heartworm and flea preventative medication. Some of our dogs have even undergone extensive medical care to ensure they’re ready for a happy, healthy life with you!

Story
Hobbs is a 4-year-old, 11-pound mixed breed who is equal parts adorable and gentle soul. He looks like a little blend of Shih Tzu, Poodle, and Schnauzer, with a tan-and-gray coat and the sweetest expression. He may be petite, but his heart is big.Hobbs came to us as a stray and needed a little time to find his confidence — and wow, has he blossomed. He’s now a total love bug who enjoys cuddles, kisses, being picked up, and simply being near his people. He’s the kind of dog who quietly watches from his cozy bed, always wanting to be close. He also does wonderfully with other dogs and would love a canine friend. He’s gentle with cats, playful without being rough, and shares toys, food, and space beautifully.Hobbs loves slow, sniff-filled walks (not a power walker!), warm fluffy beds, stuffed toys, and collecting his “treasures” — treats, toys, or the occasional sock — and bringing them back to his home base. Cheese and grilled chicken are his ultimate motivators. He’s mostly housebroken with a consistent routine, sleeps in his crate at night, and comes when called. Hobbs thrives with routine and would be happiest in a calm home where things stay fairly predictable.Hobbs would also do best in a home where he has companionship — human, canine, or both — and where his gentle, sensitive nature can be appreciated. He is healthy, sweet, and ready to be someone’s very loyal little shadow.If you’re looking for a soft, affectionate dog who just wants to love and be loved, Hobbs might be your guy.If you’d like to take Hobbs home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $300 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped.

Story
Benji Magoo – Inspiration to all Underdogs, Snack Enthusiasts, and Dogs Who Are Just Trying Their BestOccupation(s): Professional Shadow • Shower Lifeguard • Neighborhood Watch InternAge: Young enough to cause chaos, old enough to know he shouldn’t, and bold enough to do it anyway.Equal parts fuzzy charm and feral goblin energy, this spicy Shih Tzu operates on pure vibes, endless shenanigans, and zero regrets. He has a Tough Guy exterior, but a soft, snuggly center reserved for his chosen people. His attitude is as big as he is small, and his circle of trust is modest, but growing every day. Magoo’s hobbies include acting as Resident Bouncer when visitors are at the door, supervising all bathroom activities, and learning from the resident dogs how to bark at pedestrians who have the audacity to mind their own business.Magoo has also done wonderfully with his foster’s five-year-old niece, proving that while he may be a tiny bouncer at heart, he has a soft spot for gentle kiddos who offer good vibes and better treats.Fun Fact: He was recently interviewed by a Newsweek reporter, so please address him with the respect befitting a media personality. He’s basically a celebrity now. Autographs available between 11:00am - 11:09am every other Thursday. Personality: 10/10Penchant for Criminal Activity: 7/10Commitment to being adorable chaos: 100/10Ego after the Newsweek interview: Off the chartsIf you have experience with short kings who have big personalities and loud opinions, we welcome you to submit an inquiry to become Benji’s new sidekick by emailing his foster mom at maureen1188@gmail.com. Benji Magoo is a special adoption; his new family will meet with a member of HRA’s behavior team to go over his unique personality, needs, and how to best support a tiny king with a limited field of vision but an unlimited capacity for love, snacks, and chaos.To see more of his antics (and his good side), check him out on Instagram @Barks_and_Wreck

Story
ZOE! - Saved from neglect, this little angel is deserving of a loving furever home! Zoe's been through a lot in her 8 yrs - She hadn't been groomed for years (her makeover transformed her!), and lost an ear due to a rubber band that was used instead of grooming. And she is Blind! Despite being terrified and in pain during her recovery she has shown her resilience while with her foster. She eats and drinks well and has been using pee pads she goes over to in her pen (she still is nervous outside in a leash). Due to being Blind a calmer household is best for her. She should be in a single family home because she is a barker due to the lack of eyesight, it is her defense mechanism. Zoe is spayed, vaccinated, had flea prevention and dewormer. Other than being blind and her ear still on the mend (though she is finished with medicine), this 7.4 pound lady was determined to be healthy by a vet, so is now ready to settle in a safe loving furever home. If interested in Zoe put in an application to The Furry Paws Inn today!Zoe must go to a home in the state of Maryland. about 1.5 hrs from Joppa or less.

***COURTESY POST ONLY - PLEASE CONTACT ZACH FOR MORE INFO.*** Meet Gidget – A Sweet, Calm 15-Year-Old Mini Shih Tzu Gidget is a gentle, well-mannered miniature Shih Tzu looking for a loving home for her golden years. She’s in excellent health for her age, fully vaccinated, and has been cherished and well cared for her whole life. Gidget is wonderfully easygoing:     •    Great with other pets – she gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats.     •    Usually quiet: she only barks when hungry.      •    House-trained – she reliably goes outside, and she also knows to use pee pads if you’re away for longer stretches.     •    Low-maintenance lifestyle – she enjoys short, leisurely walks, but she’s happiest curled up and snoozing for most of the day.     •    Temperament – extremely cuddly and loving. Can be timid around young children, so she’s best suited for a calmer home.     •    LOVES car rides and just being with her person.      •    Spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations.     •    Grooming – not her favorite activity, but she tolerates baths, brushing, and trims without any trouble. Gidget is the perfect companion for someone who wants a quiet, cuddly, loving dog who’s easy to have around and brings a warm, peaceful energy to the home. She will be timid initially but extremely loving and sweet once she gets settled in.  She and her sister, Jackie, are looking for a new home because circustances in their current living situation have changed. Their dad is trying to find a home for both of them with a person/people that will unconditionally love them just as they deserve! Please note that both Gidget and Jackie must be adopted together as they are bonded. If you would like to find out more information about Gidget and Jackie, please contact Zach at 703-969-2433. ##2592452##
