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.

Rosie - certified taste tester and crumb connoisseur! She's a sweet, goofy girl with a squishy face and would be great for someone who likes walks and hikes and cuddling on the couch. She knows most of her basic commands, walks well on a leash, and is generally a happy-go-lucky dog. And she has been crushing her obedience class. Rosie loves people, walks, fetch, antlers, ice cubes, belly rubs, car rides, naps, and tasting everything that comes out of the kitchen. She is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is also fully housetrained and crate trained. Her adoption fee is just to cover all the things she will take to her new home (kennel, leash, harness, toys, bowls, jackets, etc). Unfortunately, our current dogs haven't warmed up to her and they just don't get along. She might have better luck with other dogs, or would probably do great as the only pet. We are heartbroken that we can't keep her but we're committed to finding her a loving, happy home.

Meet Bobo! Looking for a dog who brings laughs, energy, and non-stop tail wags? Say hello to Bobo, a young bulldog mix who`s stealing hearts with his goofy personality and unstoppable spunk.This little land shark is all about the good times—zoomies in the yard, silly wiggles when he’s excited, and the funniest head tilts when you mention the word “treat.” And yes, he’s very food motivated, which makes training a breeze (as long as snacks are involved). He loves food and is highly food motivated, and our training staff will be happy to provide tips and tricks to help him learn, just remember, he`s still just a baby!Bobo is still a puppy, so he’s bursting with energy and curiosity. He’d love an active home where he can go on adventures, play tug-of-war, and crash hard after a day of fun. He gets along well with other playful dogs and would thrive in a family that understands bulldog quirks and appreciates a dog who’s equal parts goofy clown and cuddle bug.Bobo needs:-A person ready to keep up with his puppy energy-Someone who loves training and has a pocket full of treats-A sense of humor (trust us, you’ll be laughing daily)- Someone with no kids. ( Bobo has too much energy and is just like a toddler himself, he`ll keep you very busy!) - A home with no cats but that has a younger dog that is very playful and willing to play hard. Are you ready for Bobo to be the best addition to your household? Interested in adopting me?

Mouse may be the sweetest, happiest pup you will ever meet! Since gaining his freedom from shelter life, his tail is always wagging with love and appreciation for your attention. In the house, 4 year old Mouse is very sweet and calm. He loves to snuggle on the couch, on the bed, or curl up in his dog bed while his foster mom works. Despite being 60 lbs, he thinks he's a lap dog and will lay his adorable head in your lap as you watch a movie or read. He's also always up for a round of tug-of-war with his rope toy, and he'll entertain himself with squeaky toys. When it's time to eat, he sits politely to wait for his food. He is also very gentle with both his toys and treats. Mouse REALLY appreciates a kong stuffed with peanut butter or pumpkin. He likes to watch the world go by out the window and rarely barks; however, the trash truck is his enemy. He's also fully housebroken, super treat motivated and a master of "sit." On walks, Mouse is generally a loose leash walker and will check in with you frequently. He's game for longer walks and a wonderful companion on hikes or exploring the far reaches of the neighborhood, but he's also satisfied with only a short walk or two per day if the weather is bad. Sometimes he likes to bring a toy on his walks and will carry it in his mouth the whole time--it's adorable. Could you be the forever family Mouse has been dreaming of? October 22, 2025, 11:41 am
