Story
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.

Story
Toby was picked up from a family member 3 years ago after nobody else wanted to take him. However, due to my personal issues, it’s become increasingly difficult for me to give him the attention he needs. I will also be moving soon. **TOBY DOES HAVE A BITE HISTORY. HE DOES NOT ACT UP UNLESS YOU ARE INTENTIONALLY AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS HIM. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND. You can ask me further details if you still plan to follow through. Toby had surgery when he was around 1 year old for his left leg. The adoption fee is to partially cover the costs of vaccinations.

Story
Luna is a 7 year old German Shorthaired Pointer mix. She was adopted when she was a puppy and has been with the same owner since. She is crate trained and house trained. Unfortunately, she is not great with children and with a growing family has not adapted to our lifestyle. She is very anxious in cars and rides in a crate. That aside, she is so loving and just needs the right situation and family to love. Luna is very food motivated so if you have the time, can be easily trained. She will love you loyally if you give her the chance.

Story
We got Freya 5 years ago from a puppy farm in PA. She is 5 years old her birthday is March 3rd. We unfortunately have to rehome my sweet girl because my wife and I just had a baby, and Freya does not like him. We have sent her away for behavioral training for 4 weeks, and she still does not like the baby. We have contacted many trainers, and Vets about trying to keep her but the end result is she just doesn't like small children, 10 and up she is fine with. Freya is very smart, learns really fast, and needs to be kept busy. She is crate trained, e-collar, and leash trained. She plays fetch, loves to track hidden treats. She needs a place to run, and someone that can work her, things to keep her mind busy. She is mostly Malinois so cannot be left alone for long periods of time they destroy things when bored.

Midnight

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young
Glen Burnie, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Midnight - your new snuggle buddy! He is a smart pup that's eager to learn new tricks and please his pawrents. He knows his basic commands and tries to take advantage of "rollover" by stopping halfway for belly rubs. Midnight loves taking walks and has minimal leash pulling. Unfortunately, Midnight and our resident dog just aren’t meshing and we’ve made the tough decision to rehome. He just received all of his annual vaccines, he's neutered, and microchipped. Meaning all he needs is a loving home to call his own! Please reach out if you'd like to meet Midnight to see if he's the right fit for you.

Story
I adopted Reko (Rico) 3/2/21 and we have been inseparable ever since. This breaks my heart to even have to rehome him but he deserves a good home. Unfortunately I am on the verge of homelessness and will have to stay with friends and distant family for a few months to get back on my feet. I'm looking for somebody willing to rehome my dog either permanently or for 4-5 months if necessary. He cannot be around other pets (reactive to dogs) and doesn’t know his size or strength around small children. He's 5 and will be 6 on December 18th. Neutered, vaccinated, and house broken. 90 pounds. He's very loving, loves to cuddle, and all around a great dog. But because of the previous owners abuse he is reactive to other dogs. He needs an active lifestyle even though he loves to be a couch potato. I just need to know he's going to the right home. Shelters are not an option. Even the "no kill" shelters are putting animals down.
