Story
Scooby Duke may seem a bit shy at first, but don't let that fool you - he's a sweetheart who warms up quickly and craves your attention. He's a true lover of treats, sunbathing, and, most of all, toys that he can play with for hours on end. This well-behaved pup is both crate trained and housebroken, making him the perfect addition to any home. One important note: Scooby Duke needs to be your one and only fur baby--no cats or dogs for this guy. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's as fun-loving as he is affectionate, Scooby Duke might just be your perfect match. Come meet him and let your home be filled with his joy and love! Notes from foster: Scooby Duke is a sweet little soul! We think he must be made of the densest material on the planet because he's somehow 50 pounds but comes in a rather small package. It must be hard carrying his big ol' blockhead around, because Scooby can often be found snoozing peacefully and/or sunbathing on the couch. One of his favorite activities is gazing excitedly out the window, keeping careful watch over the neighborhood happenings. He also loves playing with toys and sniffing all the things on walks! Scooby is one of the easiest fosters we've had - he's 100% housebroken, crate trained, and non-destructive.

Story
Forget-Me-Nots are small, sometimes missed, flowers that symbolize true love, loyalty, and remembrance. At the Maryland SPCA, we classify a pet as a Forget-Me-Not to highlight an animal that may have some extra considerations for potential adopters to be aware of. Even though this pet may need a little extra TLC in order to fully bloom, we know they are still a strong candidate for adoption and they're sure to bring true love and loyalty into their new family. We hope you'll remember these beautiful creatures when you consider adopting. Hey there, I'm Marlow! I'm on the hunt for my forever home and a best friend to share all the adventures life has to offer. I'm a high-energy, fun-loving pup in search of an active companion who can match my enthusiasm. I've got the basics down pat - I'm housebroken, and I know how to sit and give a paw. Plus, I'm crate trained for those times when a little downtime is needed. While I've had positive interactions with other dogs, I could benefit from a patient pal who can help me refine my social skills, as I tend to be a bit too eager when making new friends. Notes From Foster : Marlow is a happy dog. He loves be with you, whether that's playing tug, going on walks, or laying by your side. He's smart, knowing when to sit and hinting at his leash for a walk. And as much as he is excitable, he's very affectionate and knows how to reciprocate your care.

We hope you'll remember these beautiful creatures when you consider adopting. Hi there, my name's Caesar and I'm the new golden bachelor around these parts. Don't let my greys fool you though, I'm still an active and outgoing guy who can keep up with the best of them and is super outgoing. I love making new friends and am always happy to meet new people. Even though I am a few years into this ride we call life I still have quite a lot of pep to my step so don't expect me to lie around all day, I still need my exercise. Because of my high energy and large build I would do best in a home with older children. I'd love a forever family of my own to spend the rest of my days with, showering in love and affection . So if you need a little extra love in your life, ask for Caesar at the front desk! Notes From Foster: Caesar is a JOY to be with from first thing in the morning until saying pleasant dreams to him at night. I think he may think he's only about 9 months old as opposed to 9 years old. He has zest and appreciation for life. He is also housebroken ! Whoever does adopt this angel into their family will be most fortunate.

Story
Introducing Diesel, the charming canine companion with a heart of gold. Diesel is a delightful dog who finds immense joy in the company of his furry friends, delighting in playful interactions and bonding through shared adventures. With a repertoire of well-learned cues like sit, paw, and down, Diesel showcases his intelligence and eagerness to please. While Diesel exudes warmth and affection, he may initially exhibit some timidity and apprehension when meeting new people. Patience and a gentle approach are key to winning over this sweet-natured pup. In the presence of children, Diesel thrives best in a home with older kids who can understand his need for space and respect his boundaries. As a dog bursting with energy and enthusiasm, Diesel occasionally channels his exuberance into lively antics, displaying moments of high energy and playful mouthing. With proper guidance and training, Diesel's exuberance can be channeled into positive outlets, allowing his loving personality to shine through in every interaction. In the right environment filled with love, patience, and understanding, Diesel flourishes as a cherished member of the family, spreading joy and companionship to all who welcome him into their hearts.

Story
Meet Luther, the lively canine companion you've been dreaming of! With boundless energy and a heart full of love, Luther is always ready for adventure. Whether it's chasing squirrels in the backyard or going for a brisk walk around the neighborhood, this active pup is up for any challenge. But don't let his high energy fool you-Luther is also a cuddler at heart. He thrives on companionship and loves nothing more than being by your side, soaking up all the love and attention you have to offer. While Luther's enthusiasm for life is contagious, he does have a few preferences and quirks that make him unique. His history of chasing small animals means he's best suited for a home without other pets, and his nervousness around strangers calls for patient introductions with plenty of treats and positive reinforcement. Once he feels comfortable, though, Luther blossoms into a sweet and affectionate pup, eager to learn new tricks and cuddle up for some quality time. With his crate training and adaptable nature, Luther is the perfect match for an adult-only home where he can thrive and shine as the beloved center of attention.

Story
Lyla is our 5-year- old treasure that I rescued several years ago. She’s a very affectionate and loyal sweetheart who wants to be loved at all times. Lyla is a very active companion but also enjoys just lounging around the house while in good company. The reason I’m re-homing Lyla is because I will be deploying for 1-2 years and cannot take her with me.

Story
I took Cash in beginning of March 2024. He had been housed outside. Had never been the vet ever. He is 18 months old. I got him his shots. I have appointment for neutering on 5/20/24. That’s why I am asking for an adoption fee. Just to recoup the neutering costs. Cash is an extremely loving sweet boy. Unfortunately he was never taught manners and was never walked on a leash. He is extremely strong and 70lbs. I’m not experienced enough to handle 18 months of no home training. We are good with going potty outside. We have learned to sit however staying and or waiting is something we are working on. He is getting much better walking on a leash but gets overly excited when seeing other dogs or people. Only then is he hard to control. Vet thinks it’s a lot to do with his hormones as he’s still intact. He is smart and very eager to please. I live in a condo and Cash really needs a yard. I took him in to save him from the pound as that’s where he was headed. We don’t fit.

Koda is a great dog! She's very energetic and playful. Our schedule has changed because of health issues and we no longer have the time consistently needed to really care for Koda as we once had. We think she'd make an amazing companion and pet for any family thats looking to add a new family member.

Story
Sasha is a sweet, spayed female, Pit Bull Terrier mix. She is 9yrs old and hoping to find someone who likes to cuddle.  Sasha is protective when someone comes to visit. Once she knows you, she is playful and her favorite toy is a rope toy. After playtime, she cuddles right up with you. She has lived with children and gotten along well. She lived with another dog and a cat and got along well too. Sasha is nervous with larger dogs. If you have a dog at home, you can bring them by to meet Sasha and see if she will be comfortable with them. Sasha is also obedient and knows sit, down and wait. She does not like to be left alone and will be vocal so no apartments, condos or townhomes for this girl. Because she can be bashful with hands around her head, she would do best in an adult home or a home with older children who understand to be gentle around her.  You can visit this pet during our Animal Viewing Hours below.

Story
Paco is a puppy and we are so proud of him!  When he first came to us, he was so scared and unsure. He has gotten used to our kennel staff and comes right over for lots of love and attention. He is very smart and learns new things quickly too. It has been a pleasure working with him to get him used to meeting new people. Paco is only 5 month old and is a male, Pit Bull Terrier mix. He is unsure at first with new people and may growl sometimes to let you know how scared he is feeling.  If you are kind and give him a moment to get used to you, he will warm up slow to you, wag his tail and lean his whole body against you. We can see his fear melt away once he gets used to you and he is such a good dog. Paco is just a baby still and needs someone to help show him how fun life is. Once he knows you, Paco is playful and goofy. He remembers people well once he gets to know them too. Paco would benefit from training with a behaviorist to help socialize him around new people slowly so he is not so scared when he goes out for walks. Patience is key and he is a lovely dog if you put in the time for him. If you have another dog at home you will need to bring them by to meet Paco to see if they will be a good match.

Story
Hello there! My name is Lily, and I'm a delightful bulldog mix looking for my forever home. At around 6 years old, I bring a perfect balance of maturity and playful spirit to any household. I'm house and crate trained; smart; and eager to learn. Someone who has a fenced yard or can continue to work on loose leash commands would be best. One of my favorite things in the world is food! You could say I'm a bit of a foodie. Whether it's mealtime or snack time, or if you want to give me extra incentive to learn new things, I'm always ready to indulge in some delicious treats. My happy snorts will let you know if I'm enjoying the cuisine. But don't worry, I know how to enjoy life beyond the dining table too. I have a laid-back personality and find joy in the simple pleasures of life. I LOVE soaking up the sunbeams streaming through the window, and lounging on the couch with my humans. I really am at my happiest when I'm near my people. I ADORE my foster grandpa, so bonus points if you're a senior who is home a lot and loves the company of a great pup like me! I don't have a ton of experience around other dogs, and I enjoy lounging around so much that I would prefer to be your one and only pup. And definitely no cats - I have a high prey drive and like to chase them. If you are looking for the goodest girl with a wiggly butt who gives lots of love and happy snorts, please ask about me - Lily!If you'd like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website -www.animalalliesrescue.org/adoption-application - and choose me, Lily! My adoption fee is $300 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we've already been spayed/neutered (if age appropriate) and microchipped. We've been checked by a veterinarian, and we're up to date on age appropriate immunizations against rabies and DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus). We've been tested for heartworm and other tick borne diseases (4DX), and we've started our heartworm and flea preventive medications. Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!
