Story
Getting to know you! Hi I’m Cookie, and I’m a sweet girl who loves pets. I can be a little shy when I first meet you, but I warm with a gentle approach. I love good scratches and when you hit the right spot, I’ll lean into you for more. I also enjoy enrichment items such as snuffle mats and licky mats and would love to continue my training with you. I will do well with someone that can comfortably broaden my horizons and build my confidence. And did I mention I love toys? A good game of tug or fetch and I couldn't be happier. At least two in my mouth at one time makes me a very contented girl, indeed! I am sure to blossom with just a little patience and will make a wonderful companion and confidante for a loving family.

Story
Right here waiting! My name is Little Girl, and I'm a sweet young girl with a steel gray coat and expressive eyes. I am a loving little dog who likes to stay close to my person. I am looking for an adult home where I can be your one and only so I can be the center of your attention. I can be a little timid when meeting new people. I warm with a soft approach and a gentle voice, but it can take a little bit. It has been reported by my previous owner that I have excellent house manners and can be a real sweetheart. I would benefit from taking it slow and learning new things at a comfortable pace. So if you think we can be a match, come on down to the shelter so we can meet. I will be waiting!

Story
Ready to Make a New Friend! My name is Royal, I'm an adorable girl who has a smile that's sure to melt your heart. I have a very calm and gentle nature that makes me a pleasure to be around. I also enjoy active time, walk great on leash and would love to be your walking partner. I'd happily accompany you on all your outdoor activities. I am a very patient girl who sits nicely when it's time to get harnessed. Additionally, I do a nice sit on cue while waiting for treats. And because I am so treat motivated, any training you may want to do should go smoothly. I also enjoy chill time. I'm happiest when being pet and really like snuggling up against my favorite people. I guess you could say I am the prefect combination and what could be better than that?! I am going to make someone a very loyal and loving companion. If you think you could be that person, stop by the shelter so we can meet. I can't wait to meet my new best friend!

Story
Ready to meet your new adventure buddy? Look no further than Damon! This 9-month-old ball of fluff is a fetching machine with a heart of gold (and a stomach that loves treats)! He's got the zoomies down to a science and is always up for a game. Think fetch Olympics champion, but way cuter! Sure, Damon's had a bit of a mystery illness in the past (the vets were stumped!), but that's all behind him now. He's healthy, happy, and ready to conquer the world (or at least your backyard) with you! Here's the scoop on Damon: Fetch fanatic: Prepare to be showered with tennis balls and stuffed toys. This pup lives for retrieval and will wear you (or your kids) out in the best way possible! Social butterfly: Humans? He loves 'em! Other dogs? No problem! Cats on the other side of the fence? Maybe not his biggest fan, but he'll give them a good bark just in case. Food-motivated goofball: Treats are his middle name, and he'll happily learn all sorts of tricks to earn those tasty rewards. Looking for a way to keep your family active? Damon is your guy! He'll keep you on your toes with endless playtime and cuddles. Think you can handle his boundless energy? Apply to meet Damon today! (Don't worry, falling in love with him is a common side effect – running away screaming is highly unlikely ) If you're within 60 miles of Silver Spring MD, click here to apply: https://bit.ly/4d7XoKd
