Story
Meli is a loving, energetic, and playful dog who was rescued from a shelter in the DC area. Born in July 2023, she is now about a year and a half old and full of life. Unfortunately, due to recent changes in my circumstances, I am no longer able to provide Meli with the care and attention she deserves. I believe she would thrive in a home where she can receive the time, love, and dedication she needs to live her best life. Meli truly is a special companion, and she will bring so much joy to her future family.

Story
We took in Gus from another family who was moving into a smaller space and already had 2 other dogs and couldnt keep him anymore. We have an 8 year old pit mix and 2 small children at home. And we recently found out we are expecting our third child. Unfortunately our home is not big enough to fit 2 large dogs and our growing family. Gus is very loving and sweet but he needs training & a family who has time for him to care for him. An experienced adopter who knows how to care for large breeds would be great. He is a big loving rottie who needs a forever family.

Story
Looking for a Loving Home for My Dog In February of '24, my loving Partner of 10 years passed away. Sadly, when I have to move in March, I won't be able to bring my dog with me. I’m hoping to find someone who can give him the loving home he deserves. He’s an incredibly sweet, loyal, and well-behaved dog, who’s always ready for cuddles and affection. He’s around 7 yrs old, mixed Pitbull/chow chow, about 100 lbs. His temperament is calm, friendly, and playful. He gets along great with people, loves walks and playing fetch, and is well-behaved in the house. He’s up to date on all his vaccinations and knows basic commands. He’s the perfect companion for someone looking for a loving dog who will offer endless joy and affection. If you're interested in meeting him or learning more, please reach out. I will make sure to provide pet supplies. I want nothing more than to make sure he goes to a safe and caring home. Thank you for considering giving him the chance to be a part of your life.

Story
Misha was a shelter dog at the MD SPCA. She turns 4 years this November. She is an incredibly sweet and affectionate dog. She loves going for walks and is very food/treat motivated. Otherwise she loves taking long naps and finding weird places to lay around. She has a strong prey drive towards small animals. She is incredibly strong and fast so I would recommend walking tools like easy-walk or gentle leader. She sheds a lot and needs proper and regular grooming to maintain. She is also an escape artist and will try to escape given the opportunity. Loves water and swimming. She is hovering around 62lbs and eats about 3 Cups of kibble/day. Looking for a home that has a yard or other animals for her to socialize with. Needs a fair amount of activity.
