Frederick, MD
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Olivia was adopted from the shelter in February 2022. She turned 2 in December, 2024. At the shelter, she was listed as a Beagle mix and may be a beagle and jack Russell terrier cross. Olivia needs an experienced owner and preferably an owner familiar with Jack Russell/terrier dogs. Olivia needs an owner that can be calm and consistent in her training and in her aggression related to resource guarding behavior. Olivia has had bite incidents, but there have been no bites since November 2023. Olivia is a sweet dog who loves snuggling and attention. She is smart and learns quickly. She rides great in the car. She is calm and content at home during the work day confined to the bedroom with a baby gate up and has never been destructive when left alone. Olivia would thrive with an active owner and adults only household. She is hit or miss with other dogs, but has played well in the past with large dogs and seems to get along well with small male dogs.

Story
Aquiles is a three year old Siberian Husky with a lot of love to give. He is very calm when indoors but easily excitable when outside. He is friendly with strangers and will warm up to you quickly. I am looking for a good home for him with a lot of love and someone to take him on more, long walks than I am currently able to give him.

Story
Lightning came home with us 2 years ago From a littler of 6. He is now 2 years old. Lightning is very playful and friendly and calm with children. He loves to play games and challenge himself with new toys. You can frequently find him passed out on the couch. He is a snuggler. He enjoys long scratches and petting. Lightning has Tons of energy and would fit in well where he could get the exercise a larger yard would be best. Lightning will be a great pet to any responsible owner. Unfortunately because if my daughter and wife’s allergies we are unable to continue housing him. Lighting loves to snuggle his bed and engage in heavy toy play.
