Story
I purchased Precious from a breeder in Pennsylvania. Precious is 4 1/2 months old. She is active and playful. She needs a loving home, active family with space and time for her. My wife and I are senior citizens. We have limited time and energy for the puppy. She is house trained and obedient/intelligent. My desire is to re-home her to a loving family before she becomes too attached to us.

Story
We got Teddy from a rescue so they weren’t sure his breed or when he was born. The vet estimated October of 2023. He’s great with young kids and other dogs. His only problem is he pees next to his cage so we keep a puppy pad next to it. He’s very sweet, playful and energetic. I just don’t have time to give him the love and attention he deserves.

Story
My father purchased Snowflake from a nice lady in Texas 14 years ago, she was about 2 months old, she was a gift for my daughter at the time, but I couldn't afford to keep her so Dad took her on the road with him (he was an truck driver) until he passed away in 2019, we were all devastated so of course without hesitation we obtained little Snowflake. I learned overtime Snowflake does not like being alone, she does well riding in the car, this comes from riding long distance with my Daddy, she's a very sweet little doggy, she doesn't bark unless someone's knocking at the door or ringing the doorbell, she LOVES to cuddle and LOTS of belly rubs. I'm now in a place where I truly cannot care for my little Snowflake in the way she needs me and it's heartbreaking. She NEEDS a loving home, now that she's older she needs more care that I cannot once again afford. I have pet insurance, however, having it does no good because I still have to pay the upfront cost, but I keep it in case of emergenc

Woofie

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Chow Chow

Male, Young
Darlington, MD
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Woofie is a sweet boy who came to our rescue in the spring of 2022 after being surrendered to a shelter when he was just eight months old.  Woofie struggled with anxiety and desperately needed to build confidence.  In July of 2023, Woofie was accepted into the Happy Hounds Prison Dog Program where he worked on leash walking, basic obedience, and socializing with other dogs.    He completed his time in the program and is now looking for an adopter to call his own. His anxiety has greatly approved and he has done well with some other dogs with a slow and proper intro.  Woofie will need patience and love in his forever home and would benefit from ongoing training and socialization.  He is neutered, current on vaccines and preventatives, and is microchipped.  He would do best in a home without young children.  Interested in Woofie?
