Story
This is princess Rosie who will be 4 in June. She was rescued back in 2019 from a rescue who was assisting rehoming her. I was told she was about 6 months at the time. She's been a joy and loves all the attention and cuddles you can give her. She loves my kids and is very protective. She also loves meeting new people and being the center of attention, She really is a sweet girl. Potty trained and will hang out in the house while you leave. She doesn't like the crate though! She’s chewed through 3-4 of them in the past but she does great now alone by herself. She loves walks and car rides (be careful those are her favorite words ;) She does okay on the leash, some pulling, but could use more training. She knows a few commands like sit and lay down, and paw. She loves tennis balls and stuffed animals to destroy. She loves to snuggle next to you and give you hugs when you come home. She is a spoiled little baby and deserves all the loving.

Sundance loves everyone unconditionally, and her affectionate nature will surely fill any home with joy. If you're looking for a faithful friend who will love you unconditionally and make every day brighter, Sundance is the perfect choice.

She has been spayed, has received updated vaccinations and rabies, is kennel-trained and house-trained, and does well on a leash. Super quiet and very laid back, she has a very been-there-and-done personality.

Meet Angel! Do you have room for this sweet 7 yr old girl? Angel would love to fill your home with her love. Angel is a 7yr old female pit-bull terrier mix, who loves to cuddle, and thinks she is a lap dog. She enjoys the outdoors, and would be happy to take a couple short walks every day, but she really loves to lounge on the couch with you. Angel does have some special dietary needs, to keep her food allergies maintained, but she loves food and is gentle when offered treats. Angel does need to be an only pet home (no other dogs, cats, small animals; older children and teens are ok). Come meet her at the Humane Society of Charles County!

Story
Clue is a sweet, highly energetic boy. He understands pack hierarchy and would do great in a home with other dogs. Especially one with a fenced yard and an equally energetic buddy for whole yard zoomies! This guy LOVES to play ball! I learned his word is "drop it which he will usually do-or just give him a minute and he will drop it on his own. If you're sitting, he'll drop the ball in your lap. He will whine in the crate some but settled down. When we went to bed, he whined briefly until the lights were out and then stayed quiet all night. Hubby gets up super early, so he whined briefly until hubby left and got quiet again. No accidents so far. He does need a little work on manners but he doesn't jump excessively. Only pulls somewhat on the leash when he's excited. He knows sit. He's eager to please and could be treat and toy motivated. He needs someone that will help expend his boundless energy. He's really a good boy! If you would like to meet Clue please call 301.645.8181 or apply to adopt at https://humanesocietycc.org/services/adopt/available-dogs.html

Story
Hello, I'm Clay - I am super loving, and love to cuddle and play. I need to be an only dog family home though. I am well behaved around the house, travel great in the car, and walk nicely on a leash. Some of my favorite things to do are run, chase a ball, and get ear scratches! I promise I will keep you busy with cuddles, kisses, and playtime; I can do it all. When I first came to HSCC, I was malnourished and developed some food aggression. I once bit that girl at the front desk because I thought she was trying to steal my bowl away - but she said she forgives me and I'm still her good boy. The staff raised money so my new owner could take me to training! FOSTER TESTIMONIAL- Absolutely delighted to have Clay visiting for a couple of days. He's such an amazing boy! Well behaved around the house, travels great in the car, walks nicely on leash and is super loving. He's incredibly handsome too . We're shocked he's still waiting for a home.

My name is Calypso, I'm such a sweet girl and all I want is a family that will love me for me! I'm a little wobbly on my feet, but that's due to what is believed to be a neurological condition. Don't worry, I'm still loveable and intelligent in learning commands! I just wobble a little when I walk. I also take medicated baths due to having sensitive skin, and cannot eat any chicken/chicken byproducts. Are you looking for a beautiful girl that you can nurse and care for? Please consider Calypso.

Hello, I'm Goldie, as you can see from my gorgeous color. I am a 1.5 year old female Staffordshire terrier. I am very shy at first, once I meet you I love getting pets and rubs. I am anxious in the kennel, when I am taken out you can see my true reserved personality. I have gone on walks with other dogs and have done well. I also have been around the cats at the shelter, and they don't seem to bother me. I would love for you to take my home with you. You can come meet me at HSCC or apply to adopt me at https://humanesocietycc.org/services/adopt/available-dogs.html

Story
Tyson is a lovable boy with a special, beautiful mind. During the day, he enjoys playing, rub-rubs, toys, and being with his familiars. During the night, Tyson "sundowns" like a human with dementia. While he still remembers his owners, he can become nervous and defensive with visitors or those he is less familiar with. We recommend that Tyson's home be low energy and not have a lot of comings and goings, especially at night. Are you looking for a happy guy with a heart of gold who needs a little extra attention for his unique mind? Come meet Tyson!
