Story
Preston aka Bingo aka Potato 6.5 years old 78# Pit Mix This hunk of love was adopted from us in 2019 as a young puppy. Over the summer he entered a local animal shelter as a stray. They contacted the owners on the microchip who advised they gave him away the week before. And they did not want him back. Preston was in an out of foster care through the shelter but never could find a good placement. We learned about him this past week and took him back. What we have learned: Bingo wants all of the cuddles and to be a part of the family. If you're in the kitchen so is he. If you're on the couch, so is he. He loves car rides and rides better than my kids. He walks amazingly on a harness that will come with him and he is house trained. He seems to be ok with calm dogs that leave him alone. And he absolutely loves kids, because kids give him attention and food. He takes treats SO gently. Even though he loves everyone, he REALLY loves men. Men can get him rough housing and jumping/mouthing/playing like a young pup. He does have some stiffness in his legs, possibly made worse by being a little overweight. He will come with any leftover joint supplements and his brand new XXL orthopedic bed. Bingo is neutered and FULLY vetted. His fee is FULLY sponsored. He just needs a perfect home that won't give up on him. If you're that family, please send us a detailed application from www.puppiesareworthsaving.com. Foster location: Middle River, MD

Story
Iris is a very sweet girl who loves to be snuggled and get lots of attention. She greets everyone with excitement and a wagging tail whenever they enter the room, and her playful side has started to show more each day. She enjoys going on walks and spending time by the windows, watching people, squirrels, and birds. She is highly food-motivated, she will happily follow anyone with food or cooking smells. We believe she is mostly deaf (she can hear a whistle but can’t hear clapping), so she can be easily startled if she doesn’t see you coming, then is very happy when she notices you and shows no signs of aggression. She hasn’t spent much time around cats, but with the two she’s met on a leash, she was mostly curious and didn’t bark or react negatively. She gets along with the resident dog and is doing well with crate and house training. This sweet girl has so much love to give and is looking for her forever home.

Story
Hi there! I’m Bug! I am 9 1/2 almost 10. I’m a strong and energetic old pup! But still have a lot of zest for life, to adventure and be a goofy pup. I can be a little anxious and reactive sometimes, but I really am a sweet heart. I love to snuggle on the couch and watch tv for hours or just snuggle and look out the window. I’ve done really well living with other dogs, big and small. I’ve only really lived with female dogs, but I’m sure with the proper introduction and time to acclimate. I’d get along just fine with another boy dog! I LOVE cats and can be really excited about them when they aren’t the most excited about me. I have been in my current home for going on 6 years. They are absolutely heartbroken and devastated to have to make this choice to rehome me. But for my own anxiety, reactiveness, and well being it’s best for everyone involved.

Story
Rescued from a local shelter, Stella has now spent about a year in foster with Bring Em Home Animal Rescue & Trapping Inc., and she is so ready to find her forever home! She’s a 4-year-old, 50 lb pit bull terrier mix who first arrived as a stray with an unknown past, but she’s been making up for it every day with her charm, big heart, and goofy personality. In her foster home, Stella has proven to be a happy, easy-going, medium-energy girl. She loves doing zoomies in the yard and playing with her toys, but she’s just as content curling up on the couch for cozy snuggles and gentle scratches. She leans in for affection and soaks up every bit of love she’s given. Stella is crate-trained and has done well crated for up to 8 hours during a workday. She keeps herself busy with her snuffle mat and frozen Kongs and enjoys her 2–3 daily walks or time in the fenced-in yard to take care of her business. She’s very housebroken, treat-motivated, and eager to learn — she knows “sit,” comes when called, and is easily redirected when excited. Because she hasn’t had many opportunities to make dog friends, slow and thoughtful dog introductions are a must. She has shown positive interest and friendly, wiggly body language toward the resident pups on leash, but giving her time helps her shine. She can initially be a bit nervous when meeting new folks and needs introductions at her pace, but once she knows you’re trustworthy, she is ready to be your loyal, affectionate, and well-mannered best friend. Stella is loved deeply in her foster home, but it’s time for her to find the perfect person or family to call her own. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who just needs someone to believe in her, Stella is ready to steal your heart. Reach out today to meet this sweet girl and give her the forever home she deserves!

Story
🐾 Meet Snuffleupagus – A Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold 🐾
Nickname: Snuffy
Weight: ~90 lbs
Breed: Lovebug Extraordinaire Looking for a loyal shadow with four legs and a whole lot of snore? Meet Snuffleupagus, or Snuffy to his friends (which is everyone he meets!). At approximately 90 pounds, this big-hearted boy is packed full of love, affection, and just a sprinkle of clingy charm. If you're the kind of person who never wants to go to the bathroom alone again—Snuffy is your guy. Snuffy is a world-class cuddler with zero concept of his size—he’ll climb right into your lap if you let him, and even if you don’t. He just wants to be close to his person, and will follow you wherever you go. Expect slow tail wags, big soulful eyes, and full-body lean-ins when he wants some love (which is often). He is crate trained but does not like being confined. He will politely go to the door when he needs to go outside, but you must do your part to let him out. He’s also a gentle house guest who respects his space—unless his snoring counts as property damage. Because oh boy, Snuffy snores like a freight train coming through a tunnel… with no brakes… and maybe a tuba. Due to some ongoing medical issues, Snuffy will need a family who’s committed to his health and well-being. He’ll require special attention and veterinary support, but in return, he’ll give you unmatched loyalty and the kind of love that fills a room. Important note: Snuffy is NOT built for heat. Anything above 80° and he’s ready to melt. He must be kept indoors in a cool, climate-controlled environment. Think of him as a furry air conditioner who likes you more than summer. he does enjoy long leisurely walks around the yard stopping to smell each and everything he possibly can. He does seem hard of hearing, but will come running once you catch his eye. Snuffy is a once-in-a-lifetime companion for a laid-back home with humans who appreciate a velcro dog with a gentle soul. If you're looking for a lovable lug who lives for your presence and will make you laugh every single day, Snuffy is waiting—with big dreams and even bigger snores. Adopt Snuffleupagus and make your heart his favorite nap spot. 💛 Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
