Story
Marvel is a 1 year old good boy! He is house trained and crate trained. Marvel needs a home with a big fenced in yard (so he can show off how fast he is) and a human companion who can give him the attention he deserves. Marvel would love to have someone who gives him free roam of the house, and lets him snuggle with them in bed at night! Marvel loves playing fetch and he loves doing tricks! He likes kisses, hugs, and snuggles. He is comfortable with nail trimming and he enjoys long neighborhood walks and hiking. All toys, bed, crate, bath and doggy supplies that I have will go directly to his adopter at no cost! Marvel deserves a forever home. He can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Meet Rabbit! Rabbit found herself in need of a home after her owner moved and didn't want to take her. Some wonderful people stepped in to take her while she searches for her forever home. Rabbit is an 8 month old American Pit Bull Terrier mix who is energetic and super curious about life! Rabbit gets along well with other dogs and loves her people too! Rabbit is fully house and crate trained. While she does have energy, once she has a chance to get some energy out she settles nicely at home and especially loves her white noise machine! THIS IS A COURTESY POST AND RABBIT WILL BE SPAYED AND UP TO DATE ON VACCINES PRIOR TO ADOPTION. DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results or AKC registration were provided at intake.  ##2159293##

Story
MEET TOMMY! (Descriptor: Friendly) This distinguished gentleman is 7 years old and weighs in at a solid 70 lbs. (He may be a little vertically challenged and a tad rotund, but he’s approaching his golden years so who’s judging?) Tommy came to us as part of our community outreach program when his person passed away. Since he's been in our care, Tommy has become our unofficial mascot. He is friendly, sweet, and beautifully trained.  Tommy plays well with male and female dogs around his size but would be perfectly content to curl up at your feet (or next to you on the couch…what a treat that would be!) and just be your guy all by himself.  Tommy is a calm and laid back dog and loves to sun himself in the yard or take walkies in the lane or in the woods. He will occasionally pull on his leash, but we remind him to be 'easy', and he comes back to the side of his handler. Tommy knows all of his commands, and when you tell him 'down,' he will solicit a belly rub. If you really want to make Tommy sing, give him a bum scratch and you’ll be friends for life! We adore Tommy and think as far as mascots go, he's the bestest boy. We also think he deserves a home where he can live out his senior years with a chill family that matches his (relatively low) energy level. Steps may be a problem for him in the future, so a rancher style home may be ideal. Tommy’s adoption donation fee is $350, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for Tommy by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions. October 21, 2024, 8:45 pm

Story
HI! I'M CASS!   I am full of SASS and have even been called CASStastic! I'm a 5 year old, 64 lb, spayed pit bull mix who enjoys the finer things in life. My ideal human will let me snuggle on the couch and sleep in bed with you. You will also rub my belly whenever I give you the 'look' with my soft brown eyes. You will also live in a rural area with a fenced in yard that preferably doesn't back up to any other property and doesn't have access to other animals entering the yard. I've never been exposed to children, so maybe yours are grown?    Like many beauties my age, I have a fear of missing out, and if I think something is happening that I don't know about, I get hyper-focused, as my trainer calls it. My trainer said this means it's hard for me to listen to her when I'd rather focus on a squirrel. Or a leaf. Or a deer. Or a bumble bee. I know many commands and am eager to learn and listen. We are still working on my leash skills, because I get “hyper-focused,” but my trainer says I am now walking on a loose leash more than 50% of the time! I am improving!   I love my toys, soft blankets, and playing in the sprinkler. When I see the sprinkler, I smile so hard and show my adorable crooked bottom teeth!    As well as basic obedience, I am house-broken and crate trained and know my crate is my special spot. I am very treat-motivated, and while I do gently accept treats as a positive reinforcement, I don't like anyone to watch me when I eat my meals. It’s ok to watch me eat treats, though. To keep me working on my focusing and leash skills, a very nice human sponsored 7 training classes with my trainer to keep me going in the right direction! I am truly CASStastic and will be the best dog I can be!   Cass’s adoption donation fee is $375, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for Cass by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.net or www.tarashouse.org. Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.October 21, 2024, 8:45 pm

Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Zeus is 12 years old and weighs 70lbs.  He is neutered, is microchipped, but he's not up to date on his vaccines.  Zeus is perfectly fine around cats, kids, and adults, but no longer good around other dogs.  He dislikes guns and has anxiety in cars. Bite Incident:  On 12 December 2022, in Essex, Maryland, Zeus bit/attacked another dog over food.  The bite didn't break the skin and Animal Control was not involved. Zeus's guardian explains why she is rehoming him:   "In his old age, he's gotten aggressive with other dogs and gotten into a fight with our other 3 dogs.  He's perfectly fine around cats, kids, adults, but not other dogs." Zeus's guardian states the following about children, dogs, and cats:  Zeus has lived with and otherwise been around children, from 1-14 years of age.  He's protective and likes to play with older kids and is gentle with younger kids; also, he leaves cats alone.  Therefore, his guardian recommends his living with children and cats.  However, Zeus lives with dogs and has become aggressive with other dogs, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs. Zeus's guardian describes his ideal future home:  "He needs a house with no other dogs and a fenced-in yard." Zeus's guardian describes him as: Very active Playful Friendly Affectionate Protective Always at your side House-Trained Likes men Likes women Rehoming Fee:  $50 Location:  Essex, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS  1.

We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Nova is 4 years old and weighs 40 pounds.  She is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, but is not microchipped.  " She attended a behavioral class recently where she did very well at. She is very smart and picks up easily. She knows basic tricks.  Nova is a dog who loves to run and play outside as much as she loves to cuddle up on the couch and take a nap.  She doesn't dislike or fear anything.  She loves car rides.  Her favorite toys are deer antlers(she gets protective over plush toys not sure why always has been)  Nova  loves to play but doesn’t like to be be challenged or share attention. " Nova's guardian states the reason she has made the decision to rehome her:  "I recently had a toddler enter the home who she is acting weird toward, and I do not want something bad to happen.  We are unable to let her out during visits with the toddler due to this behavior." Past/present medical history:  " She has been allergy tested with the results being: Cod, goats milk, HOUSE FLYS, ANTS, beef, buckwheat, chicken, chicken eggs, cockroaches, cod liver oil, corn, duck, flaxseed oil, fleas, GRASS, Lima beans, mosquitoes, MOTHS, pork, rabbits, salmon, sardines, shellfish, turkey, wheat, white rice." Nova's guardian states the following about children:  Nova has lived with a 3yo child but her guardian doesn't recommend her living with children, stating "she  gets nervous. I do believe is can be something worked with but in our situation we are not willing to take a chance and lose our daughter. We never let the child around her without a gate/glass door in between," Nova's guardian states the following about dogs:  Nova currently lives with dogs so her guardian recommends her living with dogs, stating " Nova  currently lives with 2 other male dogs. She is super friendly with them but tends to get pushed around causing her to push back. No attacks have happened but I believe she would do best in a single animal situation." Nova's guardian states the following about cats:  Nova has lived with cats so her guardian recommends her living with cats, stating "she does not mind the cats whatsoever." Nova's guardian further describes her as: Couch potato Playful Likes to be touched Affectionate Protective Always at your side Indoor dog Outdoor dog House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Nova's guardian describes her ideal future home: " A fenced in back yard would be GREAT for her! Her favorite toys are deer antlers(she gets protective over plush toys not sure why always has been)  Nova  loves to play but doesn’t like to be be challenged or share attention so I believe her being an only dog would be best for her! she can get along with others with proper introduction and patience!!"
