DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet.

We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Atlas is a bully mix, is 1yr & 3mos old, weighs 65lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped.  Atlas's guardian adds:   "Atlas is a fun and friendly dog.  He loves to go on walks, play tug, and practice his obedience training.  Out in the yard he may play fetch - after checking the perimeter to keep you safe from squirrels and bunnies!  After some exercise he is happy to settle down and chew a Nylabone or snuggle with his people.  He is equally happy at home on your couch or in his crate.  But he is very sociable without being a pest, so if you would like company at a dog-friendly cafe or other outing, he would much rather come along for the fun!   Atlas observes routines and learns very quickly, so he adapts to new environments well.  He would love to continue attending a doggy daycare or training classes so he can show off his smarts and continue his good manners with other dogs.   Atlas is either loose in the house during the day, or in his crate, depending on what we are doing.  At night, he sleeps in his room in a portion of the basement so the cats can be loose in the house at night.  He's fine during car rides, as he's excited at first but will settle in the back seat or in the back of an SUV.  Atlas has been attending a day training daycare at Leash Free Living in Millersville MD.  He knows all basic obedience, will sit and wait for food or to go through doors.  He is a very quick learner and takes correction well.  He is working on loose leash walking using a prong collar.  Atlas is currently eating Purina Sensitive Stomach and Skin kibble - salmon based.  Bullies tend toward allergies and chicken allergies, so we started him on this to prevent any issues." Atlas's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "Atlas is a perfect boy in all ways but one - he cannot live with cats or other small animals.  He came to BARCS as a stray, so his background with cats was unknown.  We, along with a trainer, have determined that his prey drive is too strong to live with our cats." Atlas's guardian offers a brief a medical history: "Atlas was on anxiety meds at the BARCS shelter, but once he went to a foster and then to us, he has not needed them." Atlas's guardian states the following regarding children:  Since Atlas hasn't lived with or otherwise been around children, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children, stating... "He has not interacted with children that we have seen, but based on his size, strength and young energy, I think he would be a bit too much for kids." Atlas's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Atlas has lived with dogs, so his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating... "Atlas is good with dogs his own size and strength.  He is not reactive.  He should not be a dog park dog because he needs proper introductions, but he is fine out and about for walks, restaurant patios, etc where other dogs are.  He also works well in his training and play group at Leash Free Living." Atlas's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Although Atlas lives with cats, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating "No cats.  Strong prey drive.  He fixates on them and shows signs of stalking". Atlas's guardian describes him as: Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Atlas's guardian describes his ideal future home: "Atlas would be fine as an only dog, but he also enjoys having a playmate of his own size and 'rough and rowdy' play style.  A fenced yard where he can wander and run would be best.  He needs a good play session or long walk a few times a day, but otherwise is quiet and settled in the house.  He is still young, so he needs to burn that puppyish energy!  Atlas needs an experienced owner who can provide structure, routine, and exercise as well as reinforce the great start he has in training."

He is an amazing dog and does not deserve euthanasia because of a fight that is largely, our fault." Marshmallow walks perfectly on leash, sit, drop it.  Currently working on basic commands.  He's alone 3 hours per day at home and is with me or kept in the crate when I'm gone.  He dislikes/fears leaf blower and strangers in our bedroom.  He sleeps in his crate at night; is great during car rides. Marshmallow's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  A recent fight between Marshmallow and the other resident dog over food on the floor resulted in sutures to the resident dog.  Marshmallow's guardian adds:  "We have two small children and so food is all over the place in our house and we have to guarantee their safety above all." Marshmallow's guardian offers a brief a medical history:  "Past hookworm, giardia, and lyme." Lunge/Bite/Attack Incident:  On 6 August 2024, Marshmallow lunged/attacked and bit the other family dogs; the bite broke the skin; animal control was not involved; medical treatment was sought.  Marshmallow's guardian explains:   "All was well until we had to put our oldest dog down.  A week later, I went out of town, my husband forgot to feed the dogs and without the alpha the two dogs got into a fight.  While both gotten bites, Marshmallow injured the other dog requiring emergency care.  The dogs were fighting over food.  It began as a scuffle, however, was allowed to go on much longer than should have been, as the accompanying family member was not equipped to deal with it, did not know how to break it up, so it went on much longer than it should have.  The other dog had seven or eight stitches." Marshmallow's guardian states the following regarding children:  Since Marshmallow lives with children, ages 2 & 4, his guardian recommends his living with children, stating "He is curious but gentle". Marshmallow's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Although Marshmallow has lived with multiple dogs, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating "He is fine with dogs outside the house but based on our incident it would be best to make him a solo dog". Marshmallow's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Since Marshmallow hasn't lived with nor otherwise been around, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating "Cats can be unpredictable instigators and I can't say that Marshmallow would've engage if provoked". Marshmallow's guardian describes him as: Very active Couch potato Quiet Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Always at your side House-Trained Crate-Trained Marshmallow's guardian describes him ideal future home: "Marshmallow would be best placed with an experienced dog owner, preferably someone who has owned bullies or stubborn dogs before.  He should be with someone who is active, and doesn’t mind being followed around all the time. He loves to play ball in the backyard, so a fence would be ideal." Rehoming Fee:  None Location:  Potomac, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS  1.

RAYNA (watch my video!) Female, spayed 8 years old Pit Bull Terrier 72 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Good with sheep (yes, you read that right!), curious about chickens, not tested with cats or kids, not good with dogs at this time   Meet Rayna – A True Survivor with Endless Love to Give &#226&#128&#168 Rayna has been through more in her 8 years than any dog ever should, but you’d never know it now. When LOVEPAWS rescued her, it was clear she’d had a hard-knock life. Likely bred for years, she arrived with itchy, inflamed skin and ears, broken teeth, and lumps and bumps in all of the wrong places. This poor girl truly looked miserable. But Rayna is nothing if not a fighter. Thanks to excellent veterinary care, every concerning mass was removed with clean margins or turned out to be benign, and she finally got the dental work she deserved. Her ears and skin healed beautifully, and though she’ll need to stay on a special diet and medication to manage her allergies (common for her breed), she is now thriving — feeling like a whole new woman. These days, Rayna is soaking up the good life on her foster’s farm. She loves sunbathing (because a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do to look her best), keeping watch over the property (naturally, she’s the Queen B ), and even making friends with the sheep (though she admits she’s a little jealous of their curly coats). She’s happiest in the peace and quiet of the country and would thrive in a forever home away from the hustle and bustle of city life. She’s still fine-tuning her potty training and leash manners, but hey — even Beyoncé had to rehearse before hitting the big stage. Her off-duty uniform? Adorable jammies. Her full-time job? Gazing into your soul until you fall in love (spoiler: it works every time). Gentle, affectionate, and deeply people-oriented, Rayna bonds quickly and assumes you’ll rearrange your schedule (and couch space) around her cuddle needs — which, let’s be honest, you will. Don’t let her age fool you — Rayna is playful, silly, and sometimes downright goofy. She adores toys, chewies, and especially her beloved red tumbler ball (she just can’t get enough of it!). The quickest way to her heart? A tasty snack. And if that’s not on the menu, she’ll happily settle for snuggles… preferably in bulk. Rayna would love to be your one and only, because sharing is overrated. Sudden flailing arms or loud shrieks? Not her favorite, so older children would be a better fit. But she’s learning fast that life doesn’t have to be scary… as long as you promise steady love and the occasional treat bribe to seal the deal. After too many years being tossed aside like yesterday’s laundry, Rayna truly deserves to be spoiled, fawned over, and adored — the diva of every couch, sunbeam, and heart she claims. She’s battled hard for a second chance at life… now she just needs a loving human to fight for her too, by giving her the forever home she’s been dreaming of (throne optional, belly rubs mandatory Interested in adopting?
