Story
Hi I am the strong and handsome Dakota. I came to the shelter as a stray so not much is known about me. I am a nice dog and friendly with most people that I meet. I have some training, I understand sit and I love to be pet. I`m pretty smart if I do say so myself! The staff here have been working on my `dog sociability` as I am still trying to figure other dogs out.Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours (Mon: 12-4pm and Tues-Sun: 12-5pm) to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2.

Story
Please allow us to introduce this handsome, gentle dog. This is Lance, a 2yr old, neutered male, Akita who weighs around 100lbs. Lance is looking for a strong, confident person who has time for some bonding. Please read his full description below to see if your home is a good match for him. He is temporarily in a foster home.Lance needs a fenced yard that is attached to your house to keep him safe at home. The fence needs to be 6 foot or higher and needs to be strong and secure. Lance is a thinker and will see if he can get through doors and gates. Lance's best times here have been around other dogs. He is so good with our small and large dogs and he really enjoys interacting with them. We have seen Lance bond with one of our Animal Handlers here and it is wonderful to see. He is happy, wags his tails, plays and runs with her, comes when she calls him, licks her to say hello and really finds his confidence when she is around. It took some time for him to learn to trust her. Because of Lance's history, we are requiring his home have another dog that gets along with Lance. You can bring your dog to the shelter during our Animal Viewing Hours below.He has a gentle, low key personality. He is trying to figure out how to trust people and acts like he has not been with a person long enough where he could learn to bond until he came here. He is powerful and needs someone who can hold onto him if he is in a new situation. If he is nervous, he will put on the breaks and lay down or he will pull you to go faster. Lance is intelligent and food motivated. He would do well with someone who is calm, patient and gives him time to just hang out and get used to you.This beautiful dog has great potential with the right person who will spend time bonding with him.   ****Lance is in a Foster home to give him time out of the shelter. In order to visit him, please call our Adoption Coordinator to discuss setting up a visit. 410-313-2780 Option 0.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 1:25 pm

Story
NEED FOSTER HOME FOR ONE OF THE MIXED PUPPIES FROM KIKKI'S STAR WARS LITTER!! Meet Hera, a loving, energetic companion looking for a foster or forever home. Hera is a charming dog with a heart full of loyalty and affection. She can be shy upon initially meeting someone, but adapts quickly. Once comfortable, her playful spirit and boundless energy shine through. Hera enjoys walks and is currently building confidence on leash. She has been fostered in a multi-animal home and gets along with other dogs very well. She sometimes needs a reminder to give the cats some space. She is potty trained as well as crate trained although she can be anxious when left alone at times. A calm, male companion would be ideal for her. Her foster home is currently working on basic training, including some tricks. She is very smart but can be stubborn. You will need some creativity to keep her engaged while training. Several short sessions as opposed to a long one. If you are looking for a devoted friend who will bring joy and enthusiasm into your life, Hera might be a match. Her lovable personality would ensure her becoming a cherished part of your family!! She is very smart and needs an owner who will engage her brain: obedience, fast cat, agility.  Prefer owners with some previous experience with dogs.  She will be spayed prior to placement.  See more pix and video at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 12:00 am

Story
Mama Kiki and her 2 week old puppies luckily landed in the shelter as strays.  The shelter contacted rescue, we were lucky to find a temporary foster and then regular foster home for them.  She will be available once her puppies are weaned and she is spayed.  Both foster homes say she is very sweet and food oriented.  She was bone thin when she came to us, probably having been in poor shape before her pregnancy.  Watch her blossom once she is no longer feeding her pups. The oicture of her wwith the white Akita is her meeting and interacting with him, the resident dog at the foster home.See more pix and  video of mom and her pups at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/  Ashoka and Omega have applications on them.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 12:00 am

Story
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/14007Hi all! My name is Pontoon, but I answer to my nickname “Kona.” I just arrived to Maryland from a crowded shelter in South Carolina where OPH was kind enough to help me find my forever home! I just moved in last night, but my foster mom is already smitten with me. She calls me handsome and smart, and I love to talk to her when I’m excited! I already know how to sit and lay down, and go in my kennel with no issues while she’s sleeping or at work. I’m really interested in playing with her other dogs, but we haven’t formally met yet. They’re fluffy, but not as fluffy as me! My luscious locks are very interesting, it looks like I’m all white from the front, but when I turn around, you see my beautiful red! If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, floof ball, look no further, I’m right here and ready to meet you! This pet is expected to arrive at an Operation Paws for Homes Foster Home soon. If you are interested in adoption, please submit your application so that you may be pre-approved prior to arrival. All pets must be granted a Health Certificate in order to cross state lines and come to the rescue. Obtaining the health certificate is largely dependent on veterinary resources at the originating animal shelter so some pets may not arrive as planned.

Story
Nikolai-Husky male, purebred DOB 12-20-17 Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for application Nikolai is looking for a new home with the help of Rescue. Seems Nikolai's owners are divorcing and neither can keep Nikolai in their new living situation. They asked the Rescue to help him find a new home. He's used to living with a family and has been good with other dogs, cats and children. However his prior owners do feel he's happiest with a man in his life, versus family and children. Probably as a single dog, too. They hope to find him this kind of new home. LOVES walks and car rides. Knows basic commands - sit, lay down, wait. He's house trained and crate trained, but not happy in the wire crate. His adoption fee is $350 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption. For our application, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com Include your location and a phone number for future communication.
