Current Location: Ijamsville, MD Adoption Fee Covered + Free Training! Thanks to a generous supporter, this pet's adoption fee is fully covered — and OPH is including six virtual training sessions with a certified trainer in the first 60 days to help you start off strong together! Meet Macaroni: The Sweet, Shy Soul Ready to Blossom If you have a quiet home and a heart full of patience, Macaroni might just be the missing piece of your family. A survivor of a challenging past, Macaroni is learning that the world isn’t quite as scary as she once thought. While she is still discovering the simple joys of life, she is proof that with time and kindness, even the shyest dogs can show their true colors. The "Real Talk" on Macaroni Macaroni needs an adopter who respects her pace and understands that her progress is measured in small, beautiful moments: Earning Trust: Macaroni is not a "lap dog" in the traditional sense. She is still very fearful of direct touch; however, when she feels safe she’ll tentatively seek out chin scratches or give you a gentle "boop" with her nose when you aren't looking. She needs a home that will give her the space to approach you on her terms. The "Ignore" Rule: She is cautious around new people. Her way of managing nerves is to bark from a distance or retreat if someone tries to engage too quickly. She does best when visitors simply ignore her, allowing her the dignity and safety of deciding when to say hello. Potential Flight Risk: Macaroni is still adjusting to the concept of boundaries. She currently dislikes the leash and has shown a knack for jumping fences when overwhelmed. Because of this, she needs a secure yard and an adopter who understands her flight risk until she is fully bonded and confident in her surroundings. (The good news? If she does wander, she’s so attached to her people that she naturally gravitates right back.) Why You’ll Want Her on Your Team Once the "shell" comes off, Macaroni is a delight. She is not just a project; she is a personality waiting to shine: The Wiggle-Butt Factor: When she’s happy, she does the cutest, most infectious wiggle-butt dance. If you talk to her, she’ll light up, showing you the silly, playful side that has been waiting to come out. Morning Zoomies: Nothing beats the sight of Macaroni enjoying her morning zoomies in the yard. She’s learning how to play, how to chase, and how to be a dog. A True Friend: She loves her canine best friend, Cheese. Watching her blossom alongside him has shown us that she has a massive capacity for love—she just needs the right environment to let it out. The Perfect Match Macaroni is looking for a home that can offer: A Canine Mentor: She must have a confident, balanced dog in the home. She relies on other dogs to show her the ropes and help her feel secure enough to be herself. A Low-Traffic Environment: Because of her fear of strangers, she would thrive in a home with adults or older teens who can respect her need for space. Patience and Security: An adopter who is committed to a "safety-first" approach regarding leashes and fences, and who understands that she needs time to settle in before she truly reveals her full, playful personality. Are you the patient, steady hand Macaroni has been waiting for? She has so much love to give to the right person. If you're ready to provide a sanctuary for this sweet, wiggly girl, please click the apply button today! We would love to see Macaroni and Cheese find their forever home together. If that isn't possible, she still requires a home with another confident dog to help her navigate her new world.

Story
My Korbin is an absolute joy. He was adopted from a Mormon family as a puppy in southern Pennsylvania in 2020, and has been living with me and my family ever since. He's a very loyal and attached companion who occasionally likes to smile- if you get him happy enough. ( I attached a photo)Korbin enjoys walks on a sunny day, sunbathing, and watching his person do their everyday activities. He is now seven years old, living in a house with a cat and another larger dog. Still, due to his recurring ear infections (He actively has one) and mild behavioral issues, I no longer have the means to house him.I'm a college student looking for a kind, loving individual or family willing to give him the best life, with care and patience. Korbin deserves it.

Story
Winston was found injured and alone on the streets. He was so timid and traumatized. But even through all the fear, one thing was clear… Winston just wanted to be loved and feel safe. After only two weeks, this sweet boy has completely started to blossom. His happy tail is out, he’s running around, playing with the other dogs, and showing us the silly, loving boy hiding underneath all that fear. Winston is the sweetest little lover. He absolutely melts into affection and will happily let you hold him and love on him as much as your heart desires. He’s wonderful in his kennel, eats like a perfect gentleman, and takes treats so gently. Now Winston is ready for the part of his story he’s been waiting for—a forever family who will show him that he is safe, cherished, and loved unconditionally. His past may have been heartbreaking, but his future can be beautiful. Winston is ready to begin his new journey. Local adoption fee together is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee together is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Are you her new chapter and forever home?What My Foster Says About Me:  Hi! My name is Maisie and I am a very sweet girl ready to for a lovely lady to take me home. I even come with some favorite toys and a bed. I like to play with my dog brother a lot, but sometimes he overwhelms me since he doesn’t have an off switch! I’d prefer a home with a mature dog who is confident, since I’m pretty shy and like to lean on my brother and dog cousins for support. Before my mom got me I was in a bad place and I was never taught how to be a dog let alone be a dog in a home. But so far I am doing pretty good with my lease training, house training, and crate training. At first I was really scared of the crate since I used to live in one at the bad place and wasn’t let out enough! My mom helped me out to be okay with them now, as long as I have my soft bed and little room I will snooze in there all night with no complaints, and sometimes hop in so I can have a little space. Some of the things I love doing is: chasing the squirrels, snuggling my mom on the couch, laying at her feet chewing a bone, and getting the zoomies around her! But sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with everything and have to take a break under the couch. I would really need someone who has the time to dedicate to helping me learn that the world is a nice and safe place. My home now is quiet and calm and I love that!
