Story
Young Pit Bull Terrier who urgently needs a foster or long-term home. My brother, Royalty's loving owner, is currently serving in the U.S. Army and was recently transferred to Germany, where her breed is restricted. He had arranged for a foster family, but due to unforeseen financial issues, they can no longer care for her. Until a new home is found, Royalty is staying with me, but with my long work hours, I'm struggling to give her the attention she needs. My brother’s wish is to bring Royalty home when he returns in February 2026. However, he understands that it may be in her best interest to find a permanent home, given the long wait. Royalty was born on June 23, 2023, and is a well-tempered, loving dog. She is microchipped, certified as a service animal, and great with both people and other dogs. She received her initial vaccinations but still needs to be spayed, she would benefit greatly from consistency and a routine that I, unfortunately, can’t provide.

American Pit Bull Terrier Chow Chow

Female, Young
Silver Spring, MD
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ruthie is a beautiful, cuddly lapdog whose loud, ridiculous tail wags always bring a smile. She is incredibly sweet and absolutely LOVES attention from adults- she can get a bit jealous of our toddler though, and she unfortunately struggles with resource guarding around our older dog. She may do much better with older kiddos who are good with boundaries and have the energy to keep her busy. Ruthie is a big girl (70 pounds) but doesn;t know it and loves getting into our laps for pets. She is a huge fan of playing fetch outside but doesn’t really care for walks (very low maintenance lady!). She is very food and cuddle motivated. According to the DNA testing we did, she has pit bull, chow chow, and lab in her.

American Pit Bull Terrier Australian Cattle Dog

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rocko is a very loving sweet 4-year-old pit/mix. I acquired him from a friend of a family member who got him from a shelter. I've had him for 1 1/2 years. He currently attends Doggie Daycare/Training twice per week. He does will around people and other dogs. He doesn't care for cats. Walks well on a leash and car rides. He is in need of someone who has the time to walk him and keep him entertained with toys and treats. A back yard would suit him well. The reason for my needing to rehome him is I no longer have the time or finances to keep him. I promise you, that you will fall in love with this sweet boy.

Story
Ruthie is a very, very sweet girl. She loves snuggling and thinks she is a lapdog- even though she’s 70 pounds! She loves to play fetch but is also happy just sitting outside in the sun with you. She is not very high maintenance at all and just likes to be with her people. We love her so much, but she has had some aggression issues toward our older dog and is too rambunctious for our toddler. She would probably do very well with an older child (pre-teen or teen).

Story
I'm in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at johnmacdowie@yahoo.comMeo! What a gorgeous gal we have here. She is a frisky, busy miss seeking an adventurous family to join and have a blast with. Meo adores hanging with people and she really LOVES getting exercise. If you need a dog to get you motivated and out of the house, well Meo is up for that job. FYI, Meo will do best as the only dog in your home, but she's more than up to being the sole source of your affection, She also loves getting great meals (and she needs some as she arrived as a skinny stray) and oodles of love. Ready for a great new friend to go on long walks with? Meo is SUPER ready for you.Check out Meo's video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nyE8WSXxNGU
