Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Wednesday is an old soul. Although she is only 1 year old, she is calm and gentle and very sensitive. She has the softest brown eyes and a velvety coat; it is impossible not to fall in love with her.
Wednesday has been tested with both dogs and cats and is as gentle with them as she is with people. Her dog test was done with a little senior terrier and Wednesday couldn't have been kinder. Again, so not what you would expect with a 1 year old hound/lab mix. With the kitties, she was somewhat interested but really only sniffed them a couple of times before moving on to sniff other things.
Wednesday's main love though is humans. She is clearly searching for a human of her own and would make the most wonderful family dog. Being as gentle as she is she would make a great companion for children. She is easy to walk on leash and LOVES to ride in the car. What she doesn't love is being in the shelter. The noise and the chaos scares her and she shakes and freezes when she has to be taken back to her kennel.
Wednesday is the most beautiful girl both inside and out. She has so much love to give and will be loyal to whoever commits to her.

More about this rescue
OUR HISTORY
In 2010, Eileen Gideon’s family gave her the gift of an adorable bloodhound puppy for her birthday. She named him Jethro. When Jethro had his first vet appointment, Eileen discovered that he had some hereditary health issues. Jethro, it turned out, like many puppies, had come from a pet store that purchased their puppies from an Amish puppy mill. This discovery led Eileen to begin researching puppy mills, breeders, and the overwhelming number of pets in shelters and rescues in need of homes.
The more Eileen learned the more she realized she needed to become actively involved. Eileen founded Uniting 2 Save Animals (U2SA), a 501(3)c organization dedicated to decreasing the number of unwanted, homeless pets in our area. Between 2011 and 2022, U2SA provided over 3000 free and low-cost spay and neuters to those in need, as well as assisting with dozens of veterinary bills for local rescues. In 2017, U2SA began funding the Happy Hounds Prison Dog Program in Hagerstown, MD. This organization provides positive-based reinforcement training and behavior modification for dogs at risk of euthanasia as well as dog handling skills and training for Inmates they can use to obtain employment post-incarceration. In early 2022, Jethro passed away and U2SA was renamed Jethro’s Happy Hounds House in memory of Jethro. Jethro’s changed focus to providing more direct assistance placing homeless dogs in adoptive and foster homes as well as supporting our rescue partners with food and veterinary expenses.
