Story

Hi there! The name's Loggins (no relation to Kenny Loggins, but just as talented). I came in as a stray so my history is a mystery, but what my friends here at the shelter have quickly found out is that I'm a huge love! I love people and making new friends so I'm ready to find my forever home. My happy go lucky personality can get the better of me since it appears I don't have a ton of training. It's important for me to go to an adult only home because I can be a bit mouthy when I get excitable and want attention. I know with a little patience and work I can be the best boy though! I just need someone who's going to help me with my manners, and as a show of gratitude, I promise to be your best friend and shower you with all the loves and kisses. But enough about me, I want to know you! Stop by the shelter and say hi!

Petunia

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 4 yrs 4 mos

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Petunia is a resilient and loving dog who was found abandoned in a crate on the shelter's property during a night we were closed. Thankfully, a kind-hearted Samaritan took her in for the evening, providing her with warmth and safety. Despite her rough start, Petunia greeted her rescuers with boundless enthusiasm, her tail wagging non-stop and her friendly personality shining through. She has a sweet nature and loves to roll over and show her belly, always eager for a bit of affection. Though she was in poor condition when found, with itchy skin and overgrown nails, Petunia is already looking and feeling better every day. This gentle girl adores head and neck scratches but can be a bit shy about pets on her back and sides due to some lingering skin sensitivity. However, with the right care and love, her condition continues to improve, and she's ready to find a forever home where she can thrive. Petunia loves everyone she meets and enjoys long sniffing walks, taking in all the scents around her. Because of her touch sensitivity, she may do best in a home with older children who can understand her needs and give her the gentle care she deserves. Petunia also has shown some discomfort around other dogs and is required to be your one and only canine companion in her new home. If you have a dog-free home where Petunia can soak up the lime light, she is sure to bring joy and love to any family lucky enough to welcome her into your home! Forget-Me-Nots are small, sometimes missed, flowers that symbolize true love, loyalty, and remembrance. At the Maryland SPCA, we classify a pet as a Forget-Me-Not to highlight an animal that may have some extra considerations for potential adopters to be aware of. Even though this pet may need a little extra TLC in order to fully bloom, we know they are still a strong candidate for adoption and they're sure to bring true love and loyalty into their new family. We hope you'll remember these beautiful creatures when you consider adopting.

Herman

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 11 mos

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Herman: Your New Adventure Buddy! Herman is a spirited and playful young dog with energy to spare. This high-energy boy knows basic commands like sit, stay, and down and is working on paw and focus. He shares his home with a lively 4-year-old, and while their high-energy antics often result in fun, Herman's exuberance can occasionally knock the little one over. For this reason, he might do best with older children who can handle his enthusiasm. Herman thrives in social settings with other dogs and enjoys regular playdates with a husky, a pitbull, and a bulldog at a large fenced-in area near his apartment. Whether it's tug-of-war or chasing after balls, Herman shares toys beautifully and relishes every moment of canine camaraderie. With strangers, his excitement to make new friends is boundless, but he quickly settles with a bit of patience and calm introductions. Housebroken and attentive, Herman communicates his bathroom needs by curling his tail upward and heading to the door. However, he's not shy about letting you know if you're taking too long! A fan of three meals of dry adult dog food a day (wet food isn't his thing), Herman stays happy and healthy. He's a quiet companion who doesn't bark, and when it's time to wind down, he's the ultimate cuddle buddy. Whether he's snuggling on the couch or chewing on a bone while you clean, Herman is as loving as he is active. This affectionate, well-mannered pup is ready to bring his boundless energy and big heart to his forever home.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I rescued Diesel when he was 8 weeks old. He is now a little over 1.5 years old. He weighed in at about 75lbs in August 2024. Diesel is good with children he just gets a bit excited and want to play when he sees them. Otherwise he is very gentle. He loves to play and all of the hugs and snuggles. He has never been around cats so I am not sure of him temperament when cats are involved. He and a rabbit would play every morning. He tries to catch him/her but the rabbit was a bit too fast for Diesel. I am saddened that I need to find Diesel a new home due to schedule, it’s become harder not being able to attend to him now. I really want to find him the perfect home and not send him to a shelter where he will be left alone and scared. Oh yeah I forgot to mention Diesel is a big baby and a scaredy cat.

Lyla is our 5-year- old treasure that I rescued several years ago. She’s a very affectionate and loyal sweetheart who wants to be loved at all times. Lyla is a very active companion but also enjoys just lounging around the house while in good company. The reason I’m re-homing Lyla is because I will be deploying for 1-2 years and cannot take her with me.

She is still full of life and loves exercise. Madrina is an alpha and will lead other dogs to do the right thing. She looks intimidating but is the most gentle and loving dog. She needs a great home and family that will love her more than I have.
