Story
I adopted Ella a month ago from the Humane Rescue Alliance in DC. She is a sweet, sweet girl. Very friendly with tons of energy. She loves to play and give affection. I unfortunately do not have the space nor time I thought I would have. She would benefit from having a small yard or close proximity to a dog park. That is the only reason I need to remove her. She deserves a little more than I am able to provide with my situation. She loves treats, is ok off a leash, friendly to adults and around children, and good around other dogs. I'm not too sure about cats.

Story
**This is a courtesy post for a local rehoming. Any applications received will be forwarded to the current owners who are looking to rehome the dog. The current owners will reach out to the applicants directly. RDR is not involved in the rehoming process. Onyx is currently located in Baltimore MD.** Hi I'm Onyx! I'm a big dog full of love and youth. If you're seeking a loyal companion who is always up for an adventure I'm the dog for you. I'm full of energy and ready to be a part of your family! I love people and other dogs but due to my size would do best in a home without younger children or small dogs. I have basic training: I walk well on a leash and I'm crate trained. I'm fully vaccinated neutered and healthy other than a paw condition called pododermatitis: my paws can become a little inflamed and are treated with wipes or foam twice a day. But that doesn't stop me! I'm ready to bring joy and laughter to you and you're family. I can't wait to share all the love I've got to give! Please visit our website www.ruraldogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing dog and to see other dogs available for adoption!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Clinton, MD

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Treu was picked from a litter of purebred American Bullies at 12 weeks old. He was born on June 30, 2023. Initially, Treu was pretty shy and skittish, but he soon became comfortable in our home. He was extremely easy to train to go to the bathroom and to his bed or crate. He knows commands like sit, wait, and no. Treu comes on command. He loves snacks, treats, collagen bones, and ice cubes. He currently weighs 68 lbs and is fully vaccinated. Treu is a loving pup and always eager to greet you excitedly.. We are ONLY rehoming Treu because we own a smaller dog that at times they get along well but on a few occasions Treu misinterpreted the other dogs high energy and bit him. He has played with other dogs fine. Some breeds like ours may not be a good fit. We can't honestly say he doesn't get along with other Pete because of these few instances and he just recently turned only 1 year old. Please keep this in mind if you adopt him having other pets.

Story
Taz just turned 5 years old! I acquired him from the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA) in Washington, DC. My schedule and capacity to support his needs has dwindled recently and I believe he deserves a home where he can have more space to play, run around, and be supported by a loving family. Taz is very affectionate, gentle and fully of energy before he gets his daily exercise. He is best suited for someone with a backyard and experience with his breed.
