Story

Brutus is a stunning boy with lots of strength. He's playful, goofy, and a big sweetie! He is unfortunately living his life confined to a bedroom, hoping someone can give him another chance at life.This sweet boy was surrendered 2 years ago because his owners decided to move without him. He was luckily adopted and has been very loved since then, but now he has run into another situation through no fault of his own. Brutus had a child with special needs move into his house. Although he's shown no aggression and has not had any issues with the child, his owner is concerned about the child not understanding how to interact with Brutus and therefore has to keep him separated. Instead of Brutus coming back to the shelter again to live in a kennel, his owner is keeping him until he can find a new home. It's not his owners fault and he is trying to do what's best for everyone, but unfortunately Brutus is suffering because of it. He isn't getting the exercise or attention he needs living his life in one bedroom, and he desperately deserves another chance at a family.He is a big boy with an even bigger heart, sweet as can be, and dog friendly. He has gained 15 lbs just since the recent change in his lifestyle, weighing almost 100 lbs now. He needs a family committed to helping him lose weight, and providing both the mental stimulation and physical exercise that he needs.He would benefit from some training to help him work on his leash manners as he was in a home that used an invisible fence, so he wasn't leash trained. A dog-savvy owner would be best for Brutus, as well. Please consider coming to Brutus's rescue and showing him what forever really means. He's ready for someone to give him the permanent home he deserves 🤎 Primary Color: Blue Brindle Weight: 94 Age: 3yrs 4mths 1wks

Story

CheeriO Mate! This kid is ready to leave here and go sit on your sofa. We often hear folks say some dogs are aloof and don't connect right away. Well, we'd like to introduce CheeriO who is one of our most engaging dogs. Hi Folks!CheeriO here. They said I should tell you about myself. So here it is: I like to gets my business done right away on walks and spend the rest of the time trying to get you to look at me. I like head scratches, ear scratches, belly rubs, hugs, kisses. Sometimes I don't even want to go far on walks. I'd rather sit in your lap. I had folks before looking after me, they would let me sit outside on the porch and stuff. Sometimes I like to scratch my back on stuff. I duck under fences to get a good scratch on. But if you can scratch my back, I'd like that a lot.l better. These people here say I'm small but I have big love to give. I love hanging out with these other dogs here. I really like to check out the chicks. Everyone here is nice and they give me food. They say I should have more food and that's fine with me. I'd rather not stay here. Can I come and live with you? Well then, think it over. CheeriO !

Salisbury, MD

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ivy is here spending her puppyhood in the kennels. Her previous owners did not spend much time working with her. Her attention span was not developed and is short but she is very smart, loving and playful.Ivy is a high energy teenager now. Weighing 50 pounds, she likes to run and be free. She likes to jump for joy. As with most teenagers, she does not like having a boss. She is passionate about all she does. She needs a smart dog family of hoomans to give her boundaries, training and love with a super sized serving of patience on the side. Ivy would do well with an active family. Running? You bet!!Hiking ?? Sign her up!! Line dancing✅ agility✅ rally✅ she is ready to go! Once she can stick the landing with a dedicated family who will not give up on her, the possibilities are endless for this happy girl. She has recently been visited an obedience trainer. She has walked well with her and has shown improvement. She likes to engage with other dogs, but she can be a lot for them to handle. She will probably want to be the boss of other animals and may not tolerate 2nd place. Her forever family will need to be firm with her and consistent with training and they will need to let her know they are in charge and she is not. She may not be suited for first time dog owners as she has a big personality and will need hoomans experienced with high energy dogs to work with her. She is not aggressive just very energetic with all life forms. She is very entertaining to watch. She loves to run around and dive into the play yard pools...even in January! She is tons of fun with a toy, and that can help redirect her attention when she starts getting overly excited. Reviews from her fan club:"Ivy is a very smart dog, she has puppy energy."Chris Kennel staff and Meet and Greet specialist. "Ivy has a sweet soul and a great sense of humor. I enjoy spending time with her. She plays hard and loves her toys. She will be a great dog once she can get out of the kennel environment and finish being a puppy in a loving home that will help her be her best self through training."Terza (volunteer)Ivy considers her breed combo to be: part German peppered Dog, part Great Plane, and part Doberman pitcher🤣 check out those ears!!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Happy's Happy and fun all the time. 😄 He was given his name by the Animal Control Officer who brought him in and walks him regularly. Happy likes to brag to the other dogs that he has an in with management. He loves walking and sniffing and listens well to strong leaders. Happy needs to work on his leash manners, a few circles and changing directions should cut down on the pulling. He walks well on a training collar. He is easily excitable and would not do well with little dogs or cats, boy are they fun to chase!!Happy is one of our residents that is desperate to get out of his kennel. He needs more interaction with people and exercise to get all of his wiggles out. He doesn't like it when his volunteer friends have to leave him in his kennel. The loud busy kennel life keeps him wound up all day. He just wants to relax. He weighs 59 pounds and is a very handsome fella. Happy's story is one that breaks our heart. He was left behind, abandoned in a yard with another dog, when his folks moved, but dogs are so forgiving and resilient, can't nothing bring him down. He has moved on and is ready to devote himself to someone worthy of his love. He's a blank slate, which makes it a challenge for people to connect with. With time and TLC Happy will open up again and bond with his new best friend who can mold him into the dog they want! Happy is ready to let the good times roll with you!!Happy has a few favorite volunteers that adore him. They come almost everyday to walk him and work with him. BFF volunteer Cheryl had this to say about Happy:"He is a strong boy, but not too big. He can pull, but I'm able to handle him. He mostly ignores the bigger dogs. He listens to me. I walk him almost every day. He's still young and needs training. I always carry a pocket full of treats for training reinforcement. He lets me hook him up very easy, and actually goes by the other dogs really easy. I find it easy to get him in and out of his kennel. He sits for treats and looks to you for direction. He does like to run, so I run with him some. But he also loves to stop and sniff. So, once he gets out and does his business, he is usually a mix of running, stopping and sniffing and sitting for treats. He will sometimes pick up a big stick, or a plastic bottle, or, today he picked up an orange someone discarded and carried it in his mouth like a ball. He makes me laugh."Come and spend some time with Happy and take in a few good sniffs. Happy needs you! And maybe you need his happy self in your life too!

Story

Pumpkins's New Year's resolution ?....no more punkin pies!! We don't know where she spent the holidays... But they must have had a yummy buffet. 71 pounds? What the what??She's set her goal: 2024 will be the year to get in shape and start an exciting exercise program. She's determined to get her figure back. Who can help her?? 📞Calling all dedicated and self disciplined pet owners that will be willing to help this girl get in shape!! Her ideal weight would be between 50-60 pounds. She is a beautiful girl and is very friendly. She has a lot to say to you if you try to walk by her kennel without looking at her or taking her out. She will let you know she needs you. If you explain to her that you are on an errand and will be back she understands. She has nice manners and walks well. Here are some comments from her fans:"Pumpkin was my favorite walk of the day. She's fun and happy and loves people."HeatherVolunteer"She's a nice dog, a little barky at her kennel door but calms down once she's out."ChrisKennel staff Animal behavioristShe is very excitable and a lot of fun. She will need her new family to help her channel her excitement and be her best self. Her level of excitement might be a lot for other animals to handle, so meet and greets would be necessary to determine if she can do well with siblings. She is a very active, joyful, and playful girl looking for her new family that will love her forever. We aren't sure why her tail was DOCKED or she is overweight, but we want to get her healthy and give her the best life possible. Please check her out. She will cheer up the gloomy weather and sweeten your day! Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 66.4 Age: 2yrs 3mths 3wks

Breezy Bug

Female, Senior

Salisbury, MD

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Breezy Bugs is another one of our Golden Girls. She channels her inner Dorothy character aka Bea Arthur and is ready with a wise crack when you walk by her kennel. If you dare not take her out, you better be ready to hear some jibber jabber from her. Just like Dorothy, she has had ups and downs in her life. She came to HSWC emaciated, thought to be wandering on her own for a while. She now weighs 56 pounds and can still gain more to be her best self. It doesn't seem like she has had a good home but she is spunky and spirited and ready to make the best of any situation. She walks well, seems to mingle in social situations well. She likes things her way, and loves treats. She needs to be in a loving and patient home. Ages10+ for homes with kids. With young people that know how to give a dog space and not interfere during meal time or snacks. Breezy has not had a steady flow of food in her life so she will always be anxious to gobble those yummy treats. New friends need to be aware that since coming to HSWC the staff and volunteers have been walking by her kennel and giving her treats through the gate. Be cautious with hands coming toward her face because she now expects those fingers to have treats in them. She is well mannered And is looking for love in all the right places now!! Hopefully with a comfy dog bed and an all day buffet. She is a beautiful girl who has lots of life left to live and needs a companion to enjoy things with. She does not need a long walk. She is quick to get her potty done and circle on back inside to her comfy bunk. Ready to enjoy popcorn and a Golden Girls marathon and snuggle up to her forever person. Her heart is true, she's a pal and a confidant. Come and visit her and you will see she will tell you thank you for being a friend. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 56.4 Age: 9yrs 4mths 0wks

We pulled Slugger from Eastern Shore Regional Animal Control Facility Melfa as he is an amazing good dog who was in imminent danger of euthanasia due to lack of space and so many incoming dogs. Slugger is good with people, and friendly with other dogs, and was non reactive to cats when walked through the cat room. Despite his muscular body and big mouth Slugger is sweet, gentle and respectful. He is about a year old and full of comical goofy energy. There is no feeling down around this boy. He will put a smile on your face every time you look at him. His happy, jolly energy is infectious! He was neutered mid September and completed his shots and got his microchip at the same time.

Story

Meet Moody! Our affectionate, snuggle and kisses loving 55 lb pit-boxer mix. Moody was found roaming the country roads of Georgia on a family vacation 2 years ago and has been a part of our family ever since. Named Moody after Mad Eye Moody from Harry Potter, because of her one blue eye, and her funny "awoos" every time she has a treat. Moody loves to bird watch outdoors, sniff, go on walks, and SNUGGLE. Moody loves belly rubs, a good bully stick, long walks on trails for sniffing. She is sweet, affectionate, potty trained, and great with cats. Moody needs to be the only dog in her household, as she's had dog-dog aggression issues. No human aggresion and has always been fantastic with kids. She plays with our cat, but unfortunately after discovering that she's struggling to not be head honcho between our other two established dogs, we've made the difficult decision to rehome her. Moody takes up a big part of our hearts, and we're looking for a family that will treat her the same!

Story

Griffin is around 3.5 years old he is a pitbull mix I believe. 3 yrs ago he was recused from a Facebook post , he was roughly around 6 months old and he has been an emotional support dog ( unregistered) . I have numerous chronic health issues and was bed bound the majority of time. Griffin is kennel trained and housebroken , he only chews his own toys or stuffed toys ( but he does like kids toys and could be tempted). Griffin is a strong walker and pulls at times. He is very friendly , loving, loyal, silly boy temperament. He does not realize his strength and has become more than I can handle physically. Many factors are at play ( financial strain ( im disabled) as well as the physical needs for Griffin. He needs lots of care & love. He is used to being with me 24/7 hanging in bed. He would thrive with exercise and plenty of space to run. He loves kids and other dogs and cats if they receive him well. Griffin is truly amazing and would be a great addition to a family.
