American Bulldog puppies and dogs in Baltimore, Maryland

Meet Dymond, a pint-sized American Bulldog whose personality sparkles as brightly as her name suggests! Though initially shy, Dymond quickly blooms into a bundle of exuberant joy once she feels safe. Her energy and enthusiasm light up every room she enters. While she's still mastering her manners, her love for treats makes her an eager and motivated learner, always ready to impress. In her previous home, Dymond struggled with being alone, but when crated with her favorite toys, she was perfectly content. Dymond's ideal home is one where her lively personality can shine, preferably with older kids who understand her sensitivity to loud noises and quick movements. She's happiest as the only pet, as her high energy and strong prey drive make her unsuitable for homes with cats or other dogs. Despite her quirks, Dymond's affectionate nature make her a truly special companion.

Meet Gayle, a 3-year-old female American Bulldog mix with a stunning apricot and white bicolor coat. Gayle is a high-energy pup who loves spending time with people. She's incredibly friendly and cuddly, always eager to share affection. While Gayle enjoys the company of people, she can be selective with other dogs and might need a patient and experienced owner who can help her navigate her interactions. She's a bit anxious and defensive around other dogs, but with slow exposure and gentle guidance, she has the potential to adjust and become more comfortable over time. We suggest a single dog home for Gayle. If you're an experienced dog owner looking for a loving and energetic companion, Gayle could be the perfect addition to your family. With a little time and patience, she's sure to become a loyal and devoted friend. Come meet Gayle and see if you can be the one to provide her with a forever home filled with love and understanding.

Dior is a sweet, tolerant medium sized dog who knows sit and paw. She was recently at a Pet Parade where she loved meeting the other dogs, people and children. She even said hi to the 2 cats that were there!  Dior is smart and food motivated for training. She is powerful on leash and will need a strong owner to hold onto her. She is a gentle, silly soul. At the shelter, Dior is still very scared in her dog kennel. There is some memory where she thinks something bad is going to happen, so she will look like the saddest dog in there when you visit. Once she is out of her cage, she wiggles her butt and is so sweet. She likes attention and really likes to play with toys too. Dior is demure and has been a pleasure to have around.  She is quiet and has gotten along with other dogs here too if introduced properly. We do not recommend her to go to a home with another female dog or another dog who is dominant. If you have a male dog at home, they will need to come by during our Animal Viewing hours below to see if they are a good match. She would love a yard to run around but also enjoys her multiple walks a day. She is a medium sized dog and reminds us of a Shorty Bull.   You can visit this pet during our Animal Viewing Hours. Applications are accepted in person at our facility after you visit this pet out of their cage. You can call first to see if this pet is still available: 410-313-2780 Option 0.   Location: Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center 8576 Davis Rd Columbia, MD 21045 Animal Viewing Hours: Mon, Wed, Fri 10:00-4:30 (Closed at 2:30 the last Friday of each month) Tues & Thurs 1:30-6:45 Sat 10:00-2:00 (Closed on county observed holidays and holiday weekends.)Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 1:25 pm

We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Atlas is a bully mix, is 1yr & 3mos old, weighs 65lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped.  Atlas's guardian adds:   "Atlas is a fun and friendly dog.  He loves to go on walks, play tug, and practice his obedience training.  Out in the yard he may play fetch - after checking the perimeter to keep you safe from squirrels and bunnies!  After some exercise he is happy to settle down and chew a Nylabone or snuggle with his people.  He is equally happy at home on your couch or in his crate.  But he is very sociable without being a pest, so if you would like company at a dog-friendly cafe or other outing, he would much rather come along for the fun!   Atlas observes routines and learns very quickly, so he adapts to new environments well.  He would love to continue attending a doggy daycare or training classes so he can show off his smarts and continue his good manners with other dogs.   Atlas is either loose in the house during the day, or in his crate, depending on what we are doing.  At night, he sleeps in his room in a portion of the basement so the cats can be loose in the house at night.  He's fine during car rides, as he's excited at first but will settle in the back seat or in the back of an SUV.  Atlas has been attending a day training daycare at Leash Free Living in Millersville MD.  He knows all basic obedience, will sit and wait for food or to go through doors.  He is a very quick learner and takes correction well.  He is working on loose leash walking using a prong collar.  Atlas is currently eating Purina Sensitive Stomach and Skin kibble - salmon based.  Bullies tend toward allergies and chicken allergies, so we started him on this to prevent any issues." Atlas's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "Atlas is a perfect boy in all ways but one - he cannot live with cats or other small animals.  He came to BARCS as a stray, so his background with cats was unknown.  We, along with a trainer, have determined that his prey drive is too strong to live with our cats." Atlas's guardian offers a brief a medical history: "Atlas was on anxiety meds at the BARCS shelter, but once he went to a foster and then to us, he has not needed them." Atlas's guardian states the following regarding children:  Since Atlas hasn't lived with or otherwise been around children, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children, stating... "He has not interacted with children that we have seen, but based on his size, strength and young energy, I think he would be a bit too much for kids." Atlas's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Atlas has lived with dogs, so his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating... "Atlas is good with dogs his own size and strength.  He is not reactive.  He should not be a dog park dog because he needs proper introductions, but he is fine out and about for walks, restaurant patios, etc where other dogs are.  He also works well in his training and play group at Leash Free Living." Atlas's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Although Atlas lives with cats, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating "No cats.  Strong prey drive.  He fixates on them and shows signs of stalking". Atlas's guardian describes him as: Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Atlas's guardian describes his ideal future home: "Atlas would be fine as an only dog, but he also enjoys having a playmate of his own size and 'rough and rowdy' play style.  A fenced yard where he can wander and run would be best.  He needs a good play session or long walk a few times a day, but otherwise is quiet and settled in the house.  He is still young, so he needs to burn that puppyish energy!  Atlas needs an experienced owner who can provide structure, routine, and exercise as well as reinforce the great start he has in training."

He is an amazing dog and does not deserve euthanasia because of a fight that is largely, our fault." Marshmallow walks perfectly on leash, sit, drop it.  Currently working on basic commands.  He's alone 3 hours per day at home and is with me or kept in the crate when I'm gone.  He dislikes/fears leaf blower and strangers in our bedroom.  He sleeps in his crate at night; is great during car rides. Marshmallow's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  A recent fight between Marshmallow and the other resident dog over food on the floor resulted in sutures to the resident dog.  Marshmallow's guardian adds:  "We have two small children and so food is all over the place in our house and we have to guarantee their safety above all." Marshmallow's guardian offers a brief a medical history:  "Past hookworm, giardia, and lyme." Lunge/Bite/Attack Incident:  On 6 August 2024, Marshmallow lunged/attacked and bit the other family dogs; the bite broke the skin; animal control was not involved; medical treatment was sought.  Marshmallow's guardian explains:   "All was well until we had to put our oldest dog down.  A week later, I went out of town, my husband forgot to feed the dogs and without the alpha the two dogs got into a fight.  While both gotten bites, Marshmallow injured the other dog requiring emergency care.  The dogs were fighting over food.  It began as a scuffle, however, was allowed to go on much longer than should have been, as the accompanying family member was not equipped to deal with it, did not know how to break it up, so it went on much longer than it should have.  The other dog had seven or eight stitches." Marshmallow's guardian states the following regarding children:  Since Marshmallow lives with children, ages 2 & 4, his guardian recommends his living with children, stating "He is curious but gentle". Marshmallow's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Although Marshmallow has lived with multiple dogs, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating "He is fine with dogs outside the house but based on our incident it would be best to make him a solo dog". Marshmallow's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Since Marshmallow hasn't lived with nor otherwise been around, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating "Cats can be unpredictable instigators and I can't say that Marshmallow would've engage if provoked". Marshmallow's guardian describes him as: Very active Couch potato Quiet Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Always at your side House-Trained Crate-Trained Marshmallow's guardian describes him ideal future home: "Marshmallow would be best placed with an experienced dog owner, preferably someone who has owned bullies or stubborn dogs before.  He should be with someone who is active, and doesn’t mind being followed around all the time. He loves to play ball in the backyard, so a fence would be ideal." Rehoming Fee:  None Location:  Potomac, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS  1.

Hi everybody! My name is Chase and I am searching for the perfect family. Even if you are only able to take me in temporarily, I would love to bring some smiles and cuddles to you while I continue the search for a family to call my own and unfortunately need to leave my current house as soon as possible. A little bit about myself- I am 2.5 years old and was recently adopted from the animal shelter but unfortunately have been too excitable for the tiny kids in the home. I was told I have what is considered high-arousal behavior, which basically means sometimes I get too excited that I do not know what to do with all my energy and have trouble managing it appropriately. Also, please don’t hold it against me, I have unfortunately been diagnosed with epilepsy and am going to need regular medication twice a day to help keep my symptoms in check forever. I haven’t had a seizure since 9/24 and have been very well managed. Though I will require annual checkups with the neurologist.

Meet Manny, a 5-year-old, sweet, and affectionate dog in need of a new home. Adopted in 2021, Manny has been my loyal companion throughout my time as an Active Duty soldier, moving cross-country to Maryland. While he is incredibly loving and enjoys cuddles and destroying his toys, Manny struggles with reactivity, especially around other dogs. Despite my best efforts, his behavior hasn’t improved, and he’s now only able to go outside for bathroom breaks. Manny would thrive in a quiet, low-traffic home with an experienced, patient owner who can work with him on his reactivity. He needs a fenced yard or safe, enclosed space where he can run and play freely. Ideally, he'd do best with someone who can offer structure and attention. He’s house-trained, up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and would love a quiet, loving environment to call home. Please contact me if you think you can give Manny the space, attention, and care he deserves!

Madrina is an incredible nine-year-old Boxer. I have owned her since she was seven weeks old. I live in a very small apartment, and Madrina deserves more space than I can provide for her right now.

She needs a great home and family that will love her more than I have.
