Story
Taro was adopted in northern California at 5 months old. Weve had him ever since and now he is 8. He is a a very loving boy who is a little shy at first. He gets along well with other dogs and loves kids and puppies especially. He is also very outdoorsy dog who loves to play ball, be outside, and go on hikes. He has been having food behavioral issues this past year that stem from pac hierarchy issues. He is not food aggressive towards people, it is only to his female older sister he has recent troubles with. We are so sad to rehome him but with a toddler and baby on the way we must do what is best for the family. Taro is fully potty trained, knows sit, stay, spot, and an excellent dog. He is a little leash pully but nothing that can't be worked on. He would do best in a home with or without kids as a solo dog or eldest dog. He prefers females but he would warm up to a male owner. Taro is a very very snuggley and sweet boy that would be a great family dog.

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.

Aurora

Presa Canario

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Aurora is such a fun dog. She is always wanting to be involved in whatever you're doing. She loves to run and go swimming. She is super silly and is always making you laugh. While shes almost 100lbs, she thinks she's a lap dog and always wants to cuddle. It does take her some time to warm up to new people but once she does, she will love you forever. It breaks my heart to have to rehome her but unfortunately she does need to be the only dog in the house. Her trainer believes she is trying to be dominant over my other dog. My other dog is a shih Tzu so with the size difference, I just cannot risk it. She is great at the dog beach in Annapolis. Aurora does had food allergies but they are easily managed with the right food and will gladly go over that with you. I will happily be available to her new owner for any questions throughout her life. She will also come with all of her stuff (food bowl, bed, toys, ect) if her new owner would like any of it.

Khaleesi

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Crofton, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.
