Story
Boots was found in the side of the road in PA when he was 13 weeks old! We knew we couldn’t leave him there so we brought him back home and he’s been with us ever since. We were able to locate where he came from but the family did not want him so we just kept him. He will be 1 year old on Aug 3rd. Boots is a very sweet boy who LOVES to play with his ball. He also loves rolling around in grass and going fishing! He loved eating beef tracheas or chewing on his beef cheeks. I would love to keep Boots but unfortunately I am moving aborad for school and no one in my family is experienced enough to take care of him. Boots requires a good amount of physical and mental exercise. Unfortunately, he is leash reactive which is still a work in progress but has gotten so much better and has a VERY high prey drive for anything moving really fast) Boots is also dog selective and primarily only likes female dogs. I hope Boots can find a furever home!

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.

No time to come to the shelter? Meet me virtually during our open hours, note that wait time may vary for virtual meet and greets and we require same day pick up if you decide to adopt: https://waitwhile.com/locations/humanerescuealliance/r/welcome Serene is an amazing pup and oh so sweet. She is a gal in search of a new home! She was adopted from us a few years back, but the landlord said she had to go. How sad is that! So, she is back and doing her best to charm everyone (and succeeding too!) in hopes of finding a new place quickly. Serene ADORES pettings and sitting for treats. Walking is another one of her favorite things to do so get your walking shoes on for this pretty girl. Serene needs adopters who can fuss over her and give her the love and care she so needs. She is really a fantastic gal and so worth the efforts. In fact, a volunteer spent a lot of time with her, and they shared, "Serene is one of the biggest cuddlers we've ever met, she was by our side almost the entirety of her stay. She loved scratches and pets all over and a good belly rub. She is very smart and took to training quickly. She was great on walks too! All in all, she was so super sweet, and we hope she gets an extra loving home." Ready to fall in love with a dear doggie? Meet Serene today!

** I am currently being housed at our Oglethorpe St location. Come meet me at 71 Oglethorpe St NW, every day between 12pm-7pm. Or visit humanerescuealliance.org/how-to-adopt to learn more. Yola is feeling like a yoyo these days. She is a fantastic pooch who was adopted from us a year ago but is suddenly back through no fault of her own! But she's taking this change with a tail wag and a doggie smile. She's a resilient miss ready to start over and hopefully with a great family that likes happy, busy pups. Yola is fun and a joy to hang with. She likes walks and loves be adventurous. Maybe you need a great walking pal to join you on your walk abouts? Yola would love to meet you soon and start fresh with you!

Story
Granola is a sweet, loveable, energetic pup. She's great with other dogs and loves to play. She has a great temperament and does not react when other dogs aren't in the mood or just as in love with her. When Granola isn't playing, she loves nothing more than to cuddle, and is happiest right next to you or getting belly rubs. She's the best snuggler and loves to give "hugs." Granola doesn't know how big she is, so she's determined to be a lap dog :-) and is always a step away. Granola is very friendly and sweet with everyone she meets. Granola knows "sit," "down," "paw," comes when called and has excellent manners when people are eating. She answers to her name and is gentle when taking treats or toys. She's easy to walk, and tells you when she's ready to go out. If you're looking for a running or walking buddy, she's the girl for you! Crate training is going great, she walks right in on her own. At night, she curls up in the smallest dog bed because she and it are lap dog sized! Granola is the sweetest girl and would be the perfect addition to your home. For more information, or to meet Granola, contact bianca.gomez1908@gmail.com.
