Story
Say hello to Peanut! This petite sweetheart is a delightful bundle of affection and cuddles. Peanut first joined us from a shelter partner that was feeling a bit overwhelmed. She found a loving home but, unfortunately, was returned when her adopter passed away unexpectedly, and the family couldn’t keep her. Now, Peanut enjoys spending her days in the front office, where she loves to snuggle with whoever is nearby. She’s also quite the little helper with our daily tasks! If you’re interested in welcoming this loving girl into your home, please fill out an adoption application or give us a call at 410-827-7178.

Story
Our B litter is ready for adoption! This sweet litter of pups are 15 weeks old, born around the end of November 2024. These puppies are some of the lucky ones – a good Samaritan saw a mangy, starving dog eating scrap someone threw out in a back corner of a Mexican restaurant by a dumpster. She couldn’t turn away. The good Samaritan was going to just help mom, when she realized mom looks to have just had puppies. It’s like the momma dog knew someone was there to help, and she turned away from the scrap food and started walking down the street. The good Samaritan followed this momma dog for almost 2 miles to a home, where when they walked up, 7 puppies came running out from under the house (see video!) The homeowner didn’t claim mom or puppies, nor did she want anything to do with them. She refused to feed them or offer them shelter. It took some time, but after a few days, we were able to get all 7 pups and mom to safety. Mom is about 32 lbs and has a wire-hair coat, we have named her Lainey and she has been adopted. We do not know who dad is. We believe pups will vary in size with the 2 runts (Baby and Belle) staying smaller than the others, under 30 lbs. The bigger pups around 40 lbs. MOST OF THESE BABIES ARE LONG IN BODY SO WE DO BELIEVE THERE IS SOME BASSETT/DACHSHUND MIX. We do also believe they have different dads given their massive coat and weight differences. Please keep in mind that these puppies had minimal human interaction until a few weeks ago, but they are now in their prime age for impression, training and growing in a home to learn from. They all would do wonderfully with well-behaved children, other dogs and cats. They did not chase stray cats at the home they were at and they LOVE other dogs. Here’s a breakdown of the litter and some information on each one: All weights are as of March 11, 2025 Baby – Male Runt – 15.8 lbs – Black and white (tri color) – Semi wirehair and very short hair – does not seem to shed much, if at all – Very playful. Very outgoing. Fun to watch play as he is so much tinier than the other pups. Daring. First pup to try anything. Aims to please. Wants to be next to you and get lots of love and love you. All homes would be ideal, all ages of children would be great for Baby. Belle – Female Runt – 15.6 lbs – Black and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – She is quite timid but friendly and does come around. Will make the best baby. She defends herself against all the other bigger pups. Fierce and won’t let anyone pick on her. Is learning to play with toys. Could be a lap dog with lots of patience. Minimal-mild active home that is patient. Beau – Male – 24.0 lbs – Brown and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – Needs someone with some patience. He is a bit timid and would rather watch everyone else play before joining. He would do best with another dog in the home. Beau is learning to trust people and his surroundings. Minimal-Mild Active home that is patient. Bree – Female – 27.0 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – She is a hoot to have around. She loves to talk to you and is very vocal. She doesn’t mind telling you how she feels. She’s more of a leader and she keeps all the other puppies in check and in their place. If any of them start bickering, Bree will be there to break it up. She’s not afraid to test the waters and try anything new. A bit shorter of legs and stocky build. A more active home is preferred. **LOCATED IN FOSTER IN NH** Biscuit – Male – 17 lbs – Brown and White – Wire Hair – Does not seem to shed – This lover boy is the most timid of the group of pups. The foster left him with his mom so she can help build his confidence and not be bullied by his siblings. He is very submissive. Needs a family or person that is patient, kind and understands he does need socialization and lots of love. Ideally no young children given how timid he is. Bear – Male – 27.0 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – One of the most outgoing pups of the litter! He is one of the few that came around super quickly and is super lovable, huggable and amazing all around. He LOVES to be held in your arms and rocked like a baby or just carried around. He would rather be with you than anywhere else. His next favorite thing is belly rubs. He will roll over in a heartbeat to get some belly rubs and stay there until you can’t anymore. He is a very relaxed pup and doesn’t run around too much. Chill. Mildly active home and all age children would be perfect. All of these puppies will make wonderful and loyal companions. Please watch the video to see mom when she was first found, to when the good Samaritan found the house, to the puppies safe and sound and enjoying their first toys. All puppies are current on age appropriate vaccinations, preventions, dewormer, microchipped and will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to receiving the animal.

Story
Hi I am Hazel, I am a 2 yr old that can be a little shy and flighty but I am adorable. I love cheese, (Who can blame me for that?) You`ll win my heart over with cheese. Once I feel comfortable with you I enjoy cuddling. I love snuggles and if you bring cheese to the cuddles you won`t be able to keep me away. Did I mention I love cheese? I have shown some interest in quieter dogs too. We haven`t had a lot of time to interact with each other yet but it`s looking promising that I`ll be willing to meet them. Interested in meeting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours (Mon: 12-4pm and Tues-Sun: 12-5pm) to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 ext 2
