Story
This boy has a heart of gold. He is, though, VERY MUCH a puppy. He enjoys "play" biting on you as a form of playing. Sadly, my 4.5 yr old becomes scared to death from it, which is the reason for the surrender.. Knox! Loves: Running around, walks, playtime, baths, treats, car rides and cuddling Walks calmly, takes treats gently, loves people and antagonizing other dogs (at least my other 2) I just cannot have my son afraid in his own home and I know this guy will be perfect for another family.🙏

Story
Meet Poppy AKA Prada, if you can't tell from her pictures just how sweet Poppy is, here is what her (curmudgeonly, typically disinterested) foster dad had to say about her: Oh my gosh, she's probably the sweetest dog I've ever met!Yes, Poppy is able to win over even the hardest of hearts! This sweet girl is currently being fostered with two other dogs, three cats, and a horse. She has done well with every four-legged friend she's met and settled into her foster household very well. Poppy is wonderfully crate-trained and will go right into her crate without making a peep all night. She is also housebroken.Poppy has a higher energy level and would LOVE a home with another young, playful dog who enjoys wrestling and chasing. She could also do well in an active home as a running buddy, or a home with space for her to run and explore. And hey, if you've got a horse farm, that would be fine too!Poppy really is the sweetest dog ever, as her foster dad claims. She loves people and just wants to be as close to in your lap as her gangly, 60lb body will allow. Whether you're looking for a playmate for your current dog, a running buddy, or a snuggle buddy - Poppy is your girl!For more information please contact us at: 1 (410) 820-1600 info@carolinehumane.orgadoptions@carolinehumane.org.

Story
Meet Esmerelda!Esmerelda is a tiny little pit-bull that loves to be loved! Es is very sweet, loves to chew on toys, and doesn't really bark a lot. She's a very happy girl that loves to chew up her toys, so if you give her a stuffy then expect her to tear it apart! She is housetrained, knows how to use a dog door, and knows basic commands such as "sit" and "paw". Esmerelda also is good with children that are over the age of 5.Esmerelda recently joined one of our play groups and we were able to figure out that she is selective with dogs. Esmerelda loves to walk and is amazing on a leash. She also will jog with you!.

Story
Meet Dusky🐾Dusky is a wonderful 3-year-old dog with a gentle and sweet personality! This affectionate boy loves being petted and is very food motivated. He knows "sit" and "give paw," and is great on the leash.Dusky is also friendly with other dogs. It's been said that Dusky is the John Travolta of dogs - strong jawline, striking eyes, and the best dance moves. We totally see it!But Dusky is more than just a handsome face. While he is a large, strong dog, he walks well on a leash and knows basic commands (including "shake," as you can see from his picture). Dusky has a medium energy level and would enjoy an active home where he can take a walk or hike with his owner, but he also enjoys snuggling up for a snack and a good movie.What this sweet boy really wants is a home, a person, of his own. Dusky has been at the shelter for several months now and has shown how resilient his spirit truly is. He continues to remain John Travolta-esque in his stoicism but we know the shelter is no substitute for a home of his own. While at the shelter, Dusky has participated in play groups while muzzled. He initially showed stiff, uncomfortable behavior toward other dogs; however, with increased exposure to friendly and confident dogs, Dusky is starting to relax more and more. He has not shown much interest in engaging in play and instead has preferred to simply coexist around other dogs. Because of this, we believe Dusky would likely prefer to be your one-and-only. Dusky has not shown reactivity toward other dogs when walking on leash.We would love to find Dusky his perfect home so if you're looking for a new best friend, a dog who (literally!) stops traffic, come meet him today!📍 Ridgely, MD 📞 410-820-1600 📧 adoptions@carolinehumane.org 🌐 www.carolinehumane.org.
