Story
Faith is a little over a year old and has lots of playful puppy energy! She would love a fenced yard for zoomies, and she loves to play with other dogs, too. She can play a bit rough and doesn’t always understand when the other dog is not so keen to play. She would do best with other playful yet patient dogs who can show her the ropes. She missed the early memos about jumping, play-biting, and pouncing on others, so she needs an adopter who can continue working with her on these behaviors. She’s also working on loose-leash walking and has the most adorable prancing step! She will notice other dogs and critters but can be redirected by talking to her. She loves to chase bugs in the backyard. She rides great in the car and would love to travel with you! This adorable pocket pittie also wants to be a lap dog, and will try to crawl into your lap when you sit. She does well in the crate for a few hours at a time. While she knows she’s supposed to do her business outside, she is young and still sometimes has accidents in the crate and around the house. She’s very curious and intently studies anything new in her space. She’s a clever, eager girl, and will flourish with someone who will bond with her through training.

Story
Took in from someone that needed to get rid of him but my roommates moved out and I just can't give him the time or attention he needs. He is a young dog, guessing between 1-2yrs old. He is very loving, play nibbles but has never bit anyone or any other animals. He does require a lot of attention and training as he is still young. He does have a tendency to jump but that's all. He is leash and crate trained. Not completely house trained yet though. Just looking to find him a really loving home with some space to run.

Story
Bailey is a wonderful mix of German Shepherd and American Pitbull, weighing approximately 65 pounds. He is very happy and has never been abused. Bailey loves running, cuddling, and is very sweet. He is house trained, understands several verbal commands, and listens well. He is also friendly with other dogs, although I am unsure about his interactions with cats. Bailey's health is in excellent condition, and all his vaccinations are up to date, including: Distemper Hepatitis Parvovirus Coronavirus Parainfluenza Bordetellosis Rabies vaccine Bordatella vaccine Round/Hookworm Dewormer (Pyrantel Pamoate 50mg/ml) Negative test for Canine 4DX Snap for Heartworm and Tick Diseases Leptospirosis vaccine Please note that Bailey is not neutered and does not have a microchip. I can also include his very large cage if interested.

Story
I adopted Khaleesi from Anne Arundel County Animal Care and Control about three years ago, when she was three years old. At that time, it was obvious that she had no prior training. I have worked with her a lot over the past years, but she continues to have a few behavioral issues. She knows basic commands now, like sit, stay, off and down. She is food driven, so she is very motivated during training by getting treats. She is crate trained, and somewhat leash trained but still has a tendency to pull. She is very strong, and needs an owner who will be able to handle her. She is sweet and very friendly with people, loves getting pets and scratches behind her ears, and playing with her ball. She has a lot of energy. She developed aggressive behavior with other dogs about a year after I adopted her, and should probably be in a home without any other pets as she is also prey driven. She did very well with my other dog for over three years, but recently they have not been getting along.

Story
Hello Potential, New Family! My name is Bluu, and I’m an 11-month-old bundle of joy and mischief, born on February 14th. That makes me an Aquarius, which means I'm playful, charming, and a little bit of an independent spirit - perfect for cozy cuddles or wild fetch games. Sadly, one of my human siblings is allergic to me, so I’m on the lookout for a new family who can handle my boundless energy and irresistible puppy eyes. I’ve had all my shots and vaccinations, and no, I haven’t been neutered yet. Think of it as me being naturally charming and full of potential! I’m a pro at making everyone smile, whether it’s through my goofy antics or my knack for snuggling up just right. I promise to fill your days with wagging tails, wet-nosed kisses, and a whole lot of fun. If you’ve got a comfy spot for me and a heart big enough to handle all the love I’ve got to give, then I might just be the perfect pup for you. Can’t wait to meet my new family and start our paw-some adventures together!

Story
Dior is a very delightful 3-year-old girl. She’s past the puppy stage and shows her charm with lots of kisses, a wagging tail, and a love for belly rubs. Treat-motivated and eager to please, Dior takes treats gently, knows “sit” and “down,” walks well on a leash, and quickly goes potty outside. Dior could benefit from gaining a bit of weight to feel and look her best.Dior’s interactions with other dogs have yet to be evaluated, but she was non-reactive when passing other dogs in their kennels on her way outside. We’ll update her profile as we learn more about her preferences.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion, Dior may be your perfect match. Come meet her today and let her steal your heart!Copy and paste this link to take a peek at Dior’s sweet personality: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DE6RIAox2en/?igsh=cmtnemR3aWJmYWE2Terrier mixes are available for adoption to residents who live outside of Prince George`s County, Maryland.

Story
Blue is easy to leash up and goes potty as soon as he gets outside. He absolutely loves sniffing around, taking in all the scents in his environment—whether it’s a new patch of grass or a breeze carrying a hint of something fun. His curious nature makes him a joy to watch as he explores the world one sniff at a time! Blue knows sit and will happily do so for a treat (or seven!). Did you notice his adorable nose freckles?! Blue`s new family will need to ensure he`s on a good quality diet as he needs to gain a bit more weight.
