Story
 Meet Texas Pete — Spoilet Alert- he’s amazing  As the new year begins, Texas Pete is ready to turn the page and start the chapter he’s been waiting for — one filled with love, security, and belonging. This sweet 8-year-old gentleman has a story of resilience, hope, and second chances written all over his soulful eyes. Texas Pete came to us from Georgia worn down from years of neglect — thin, tired, and overlooked in the shelter because of his gray and white coat. But even through it all, Pete never stopped believing his time would come. Today, he’s a healthy 75 pounds, has completed heartworm treatment, and is truly thriving. His gentle spirit shines just as brightly as ever, and his tail still wags with pure joy. Pete is dog- and kid-friendly, though as a big, happy guy, he may offer a few enthusiastic hugs along the way. Cats, however, are not on his list for this next chapter.  He is house- and crate-trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. Pete rides beautifully in the car and handled his long journey to his foster home in Harrisburg, PA, like the gentleman he is — calm, patient, and grateful every mile of the way. Don’t let his age fool you — Texas Pete still has plenty of playful spark left. He loves all toys, but balls are his absolute favorite and bring out the puppy joy that still lives in his heart. This new year, Texas Pete has just one resolution: to find a forever home where he can finally feel safe, cherished, and loved. If you’re looking to begin the year with unconditional love and a loyal companion by your side, Pete is ready to make 2025 his best year yet.   Fostered in Harrisburg, PA  Adoption inquiries welcome — let’s make this his year.

Story
Doc is a sweet boy who just loves his people. He just loves to be loved and loves to love you right back. Unfortunately, my husband and I have separated and I'm not sure where I will end up. I will not be able to take him with me. Wherever Doc winds up needs to have space for him to run. He is a fence hopper and he is quick so anytime he is outside he has to be on a leash and is just not fair to him. He also likes to pee a lot and house training has been a bit of a struggle. >

Story
Adoption Fee Covered + Free Training! Great news! Yoyoma's adoption fee has been fully covered by a generous supporter, and OPH is including six virtual training sessions with a certified trainer during the first 60 days to help set you both up for success! Yoyoma is 9 years old and has been in foster care for awhile, because she wants to be your one and only loyal companion. She would like to take naps and watch TV with you. When it's time to exercise, playing ball is the activity of choice in a fenced yard, the higher the better. She'd like to take walks on a leash, but doesn't mind staying close to home. Sniffing to discover new smells rather than long walks is just fine with her. She would rather be with you than in large crowds as she is cautious with strangers, but once she gets to know them in familiar surroundings, she is ready for belly rubs. She has played with the fosters larger dogs but prefers to be the only dog in your family. The fosters grandchildren have played ball with her and she likes how they tell her to sit first then to retrieve. Rules and boundaries help her to feel comfortable. She has been waiting for awhile in rescue but only because she is waiting for the right family. If you think you are the right one for her please fill out an application. Athletic, Not Hyper but can be Energetic * Knows some obedience * Can walk on on loose leash * Goes in crate on command * Potty trained (perk! will go in bad weather) * She is Cautious with strangers and needs slow introductions * Needs an experienced dog handler * Muzzle trained, wears muzzle during vetting for prevention * Prefer to be the only dog And guess what, I am SO special that I am eligible for an extended trial adoption. You check me out and I check you out. If that all sounds great to you, let's meet. Please apply to adopt me today.

Story
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? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2
