Story
I adopted Mojo and his sister, Maggie, from Howard County Animal Shelter in 2020. They were a bonded pair, Akbash breed, and the shelter was having trouble finding a home for them together, so I adopted them. Maggie was ill with hypothyroidism and epilepsy and died in November 2024. Mojo is a wonderful dog with all humans and other dogs, but he is a livestock protector and will kill cats. I live in an area with stray cat colonies, and he has gotten away from me several times when he sees a cat. I love cats and it is hard for me to live with a dog that kills cats. I love Mojo but he is so hard for me to manage. He weighs130 pounds and can get away from me easily. I did have a dog walker, but he is unable to walk Mojo anymore. It's also hard to afford the daily cost of a dog walker. I am looking for a home with someone who has a large fenced in yard and who can walk him every day. He is old and easy to walk unless he sees an animal he perceives as prey.

Story
River is an old soul looking for his soulmate - could you be his person?  River had a tough start in life and came to PAW quite frightened of the world.  With the endless love and dedication of his foster family he has begun to feel secure - and to blossom.  Now he needs to find his forever home where a loving adopter will continue the process to help him to become the dog he is meant to be. River is a gentle giant.  At 2 & 1/2 and 70 pounds, he is a big fluffy love bug.  At first River can be anxious around new people and in new environments - but once warmed up, he loves people (including children) and other dogs. In fact, River must have another dog in the house as he follows the lead of his current foster brother and has learned so much from him! River loves running and playing in the yard.  Because he is still working on leash walking, River's forever home must have a fenced-in yard.  It will be important to continue leash training and exposure to new situations. This is the best way to build River's confidence and to teach him that the wide world is a fun place to explore!  River's daily medication helps calm him down, and this is something that his forever person will need to continue for River's benefit and comfort.  If you think you could be the one for River, apply to adopt today! PAW places animals in the DC, MD, northern VA, and southern PA area only. ##1836418##

Story
** Courtesy Post ** Please contact bsimson@gmail.com for inquiry and adoption Burrito is a roughly 100 lb, six-year old, neutered Great Pyrenees. He is up to date on vaccines and was rescued four years ago. He is incredibly sweet. He loves belly rubs and to lean on you. He is pretty chill and prefers to guard the perimeter of the yard or lay near you rather than play. With good nutrition and genetic testing it was discovered that Burrito is pure bred. He has worked with trainers over the past few years and he has made excellent progress. He follows several commands such as touch, go to spot, sit, leave it etc. Burrito tolerates the owners' cat who is always trying to annoy him. He does well with people he knows but has strong guarding instinct which is typical of the breed. A home without children is probably best for Burrito.  Please contact Burrito's family if you are interested at: bsimson@gmail.com ##2866433##
