Story
King has been apart of our family since he was born in 2021, we have grown to love him so much. Recently my daughter had my first grandson and King is having a hard time adjusting to this new family member. He used to love my daughter but now he snaps at her and sometimes at my son. We have tried to get him adjusted to the baby, but I am not willing to take the chance of him snapping on my Grandson. He needs a lot of love and attention, but is a sweetheart when he is getting everything he wants. I believe King will be happy in a home where it is just him, not sure if he will be good with other pets, maybe a cat but not sure of a dog since he has been our only pet. King loves to eat, take nice walks and play with his toys. May hope is to find him a nice loving home that he can get all the attention and love for himself!!

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.

✨🐾 Meet Little Bit — Proof That the Best Things Come in Tiny, Fluffy Packages 🐾✨ (4 Years Old • Shih Tzu • 9 lbs • Male • Professional Shadow) If you’ve ever thought, “I’d really like a dog who quietly follows me around like a very cute cloud,” then Little Bit is about to be your dream come true. At just 9 pounds and 4 years old, Little Bit is sweet, gentle, and delightfully low-key. He’s the kind of pup who prefers soft beds, kind humans, and being exactly wherever you are — no chaos, no drama, no unnecessary barking commentary. Despite being surrendered for being “too energetic” (allegedly 🙃), Little Bit has shown us nothing but calm, quiet manners. Here, he’s more low to very medium energy — playful when invited, content to lounge when not, and always happy just to be included. His only “crime” was lightly chasing porch cats, which he would like the court to note was non-threatening...just a little, I wanta say 'hello'. 🐶 Little Bit’s Best Features: • Very sweet & submissive — gentle soul alert • Great with other dogs and respectful of everyone’s space • Not much of a barker — strong “peace and quiet” energy • Playful but not demanding — he reads the room like a pro • Small, delicate, and affectionate (handle with love & cuddles) Because he’s petite and submissive, Little Bit would do best in a home without small children — not because he’s grumpy, but because he’s more “porcelain teacup” than “rough-and-tumble toy.” He’d be perfect for someone looking for a loyal companion, a quiet buddy, or a furry little shadow who wants to be part of your daily routine. If you’re looking for a dog who will follow you from room to room, sit politely nearby, and occasionally remind you how adorable life can be… 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Little Bit is ready to be your tiny bestest furry friend. 🐾💖

Story
I’m looking to rehome my sweet boy to a loving family who can give him the time and attention he truly deserves. I’ve had him since he was just 2 months old, and he has been such a special part of my life. Unfortunately, my job has become extremely demanding, and I can’t spend as much time with him as he needs. He is a very loving, affectionate dog who thrives on companionship and deserves a home filled with care and attention. This is a difficult decision made out of love, and I’m hoping to find him a wonderful family who will cherish him as much as I do.

Story
Gizzy is a 14yr old senior girly that is in excellent health. She spends most of her time napping but she also enjoys walks or simply sunbathing on the porch. She is very low key. She is looking for an adult only household. Young children are too much for this girl at her older age. She is fully house trained and will use a doggy door. She enjoys napping next to her person. She doesn’t require much at all- just someone home most of the day that will take her out to potty. She prefers a peaceful, quiet environment to spend the remainder of her days. She does NOT do crates! She must be able to sit on the furniture and sleep in bed with her person! She likes to sleep in and she does not shed.
