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
Alf is 9 years old, neutered, and about 75 lbs...I adopted Alf 2.5 years ago, but a recent change in my job requires frequent travel for extended periods of time, so I need to find him a more suitable home...Alf is a social dog who is also gentle with kids and would be a great family dog...He is playful and adventurous, always ready to jump in the car for an outing. However, he is just as happy curled up chilling next to his favorite humans. He also loves tennis balls and all sorts of chew toys...Alf had some separation anxiety when I first adopted him. That subsided as he became certain that he was in a safe, trusting home. He currently takes some medication to help manage that. Other than that, Alf has a clean bill of health and is up to date on all his shots...Alf's ideal home would be one where he is the only dog in the house (king of the castle!), and I suggest no cats either. Someone who works from home would be great, but it isn't necessary since I do not work from home.

Story
Valerie’s journey hasn’t been easy, but she hasn’t let that dim her joyful spirit. She first came into a shelter as a tiny puppy with a badly broken leg that had to be amputated. After healing, she was adopted and thought she’d found her forever home. But two years later, she was discovered as a stray, heartbreakingly thin and alone. Hero Rescue stepped in to make sure Valerie would never be forgotten again. With plenty of love, care, and good food, she’s been blossoming in her foster home! She’s steadily gaining weight and confidence every day and is ready to start her next chapter. Valerie is about 2 years old and absolutely adores people. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats. Though sometimes her playful puppy energy means she needs a gentle reminder when the cats aren’t in the mood to play! She’s nearly fully potty trained and is working hard to perfect it. Right now, she’s still building up her ability to hold it for a full workday. She’s improving every day, but would love a family who can let her out for a quick mid-day break while she continues to strengthen that routine. Valerie is truly one of a kind. A brave, sweet, and loving tripod who’s overcome so much and is now ready to give her heart to a forever family! ----------------------------------------- ADOPTION PROCESS 1.

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.
