My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Foster or adopter needed

Dear Santa,

Hi, it’s me, Tara! I’m writing this letter while wagging my tail furiously (it’s kind of my thing). First of all, I’ve been a very good girl this year. Like, really good. And yet…here I am, still waiting for my forever family to come along. My friends at AAHA are scratching their heads, and honestly, I am too. I mean, come on, Santa—how am I still on the market?

Let’s review the facts: I’m kid-friendly (yes, I’ll gladly take all the sticky fingers and belly rubs), dog-friendly (I’m the life of the pup park), AND cat-indifferent (I barely even notice them, which, let’s be real, is a miracle). I’m potty trained, crate trained, and a fetching legend. I even sit and wait patiently for you to throw the ball. (I know, I’m basically a unicorn in dog form.)

Plus, I bring the joy! I wag my tail so much it’s basically a full-body workout, and my zoomies? Comedy gold. Want a walking buddy? I’m a dream on a leash. Feeling down? I’ll cheer you up with my butt wiggles and goofy grin. I mean, what else could anyone possibly want in a dog? A built-in Netflix subscription?

Santa, all I want for Christmas is a home to call my own. I don’t care if it’s a foster home or forever—just somewhere I can curl up at night knowing I’m loved. My friends at AAHA are doing their best, but let’s be honest, this face deserves a couch, not a kennel.

So, what do you say, big guy? Sprinkle some holiday magic my way? Help me find a family who will appreciate my charm, energy, and top-tier snuggle game? I promise to be the goodest girl and bring endless tail wags and love to their lives.

Your hopeful friend,

Tara (a.k.a. “How-is-she-still-available?!”)

Go meet their pets

We are a rescue that is dependent on volunteers as we do not have a physical building. We rent space at a kennel in Upperco, Md. If you would like to meet one of our dogs please contact us to make arrangements. Thanks!

More about this rescue

Adopt a Homeless Animal Rescue (AAHA) is a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and assisting animals in crisis. We actively combat animal cruelty in any form.

We have a particular commitment to pit bulls and aim to raise awareness about the breed, help those in need, and educate the public:
•We seek to promote this lovely yet unfairly maligned breed as the sweet, intelligent, affectionate, and people-oriented dogs they are.
•We assume stewardship over their well-being and strive to make this world a better place for them.
•We serve as a resource and/or liaison for shelters, individuals, and the community at large, advocating for any animal in harm's way.
•We also function in an advisory role for private citizens who seek assistance and guidance in better caring for their pets.

We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Please help us help the animals!
