Story
Rocky is a loving, kid-friendly dog. We got Rocky when he was 4 weeks old, from a family. We got records of his vaccines. I don't believe they are all up to date, but I can share that information. Rocky has grown up around children, and he enjoys running and playing soccer. I am looking for a stable home and for someone who will be able to take walks with him and play. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me more questions and I will be happy to answer them. Email: Martinez_glenda@icloud.com Adoption fee is based on expenses provided for Rocky; however, we can discuss this as long as we find a perfect home.

Annapolis, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sasha is a sweet, intelligent, 9.5-year-old purebred Beagle—a true companion dog who is deeply affectionate and has mastered numerous commands/tricks. She is seeking a high-attention home where someone is always present. Sasha is very docile and friendly with people, cats, and other animals, but thrives best as an only dog where she can be the sole focus. She is spayed, up-to-date on vet care and crate-trained. She loves water (to drink!), belly rubs, her own bed and exploring outside. Sasha was originally a rescue from VTech, coming with behavioral needs, including separation anxiety, water-related obsessive-compulsive behavior (currently managed with Prozac and Clonidine) and anxiety-related incontinence requiring a strict schedule. Because of this, she needs a very patient and committed adopter—such as an elderly person/couple or a stay-at-home parent—who can be her devoted constant companion. In return for your commitment, you get a loving, loyal dog who is glued to your side.

Story
Emma is energetic, affectionate, smart, and playful. However, she is still being leash trained. Emma acts like a puppy and chews everything. She has bitten when panicked, as when she got tangled in her tether. With an experienced, athletic owner, Emma could be a wonderful dog! I'm a senior citizen , and she needs more exercise than my slow walks give her. Emma is on meds for a skin allergy. Otherwise, she is in perfect health.

Story
Beautiful 5-year old female dog, named Chili, is looking for the most loving home where she can be the only dog. She is GREAT with people young and old as well as cats, but does not care for other dogs so she must be an “only dog.” Chili is perfectly housebroken, knows sit/stay/down, walks well on a leash and loves a soft couch. She does not have any separation anxiety and does not chew belongings. She loves to watch birds and squirrels out the window and is a great friend for hiking, walking, car rides and just relaxing. And when it gets dark she puts herself to bed! We are absolutely devastated to have to rehome her but she simply doesn’t want to live with other dogs, and our obligation is the wellbeing of our 13 year-old dog who we had first. Chili’s safety and comfort is of the utmost importance to us, so we will thoroughly review and vet anyone who seeks to adopt her to ensure she is heading to a loving, safe home. Could Chili be your furever companion? Please let us know!

Riva, MD
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jinx is three years old, overall a very good boy. Since making a large cross country move he has problems with separation anxiety including aggression when trying to leave and being crated. Outside of leaving him alone he is a cuddlebug and wants attention, loves to run in a large backyard and play with all his toys. Jinx deserves someone who can help him overcome his anxiety and be the single most important pet in the house.
