PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. Homer is a lovable, snuggly pit with a lot of energy still at 7 years old. He knows basic commands (sit, lay down, stay, come, shake), is used to leashed walks, and loves cuddling on the couch or bed with his humans. He also enjoys giving kisses, scratches behind his ear, belly rubs and playing with toys (although you’ll need indestructible toys haha). Homer is used to being home during the day while we go to work, and he doesn’t have any issues being left alone during the workday. He is up to date on shots and neutered. We can provide a dog bed, food, bowls, leash, etc.    Homer would need to be the only animal in the home (dog reactive most of the time after 10 minutes or so of meeting but can pass them on the street during walks unless they lunge at him), no cats (or would likely be fine with a cat that keeps to itself) and no kids due to resource guarding and a bite incident. The two bites were not large and required glue but not stitches and were related to resource guarding.    A potential adopter would need to have knowledge (or willingness to learn) of resource guarding and the capacity to properly manage it. However, Homer is a sweet dog 99% of the time but just needs an environment suitable to not trigger his resource guarding, which I believe he will thrive in. We have done training through K9 Koncepts, which is supposed to be open for the entirety of Homer’s life, so we could potentially transfer that over to the adopter for free, if interested and after contacting K9 Koncepts to make sure that is a possibility.If you are interested in adopting Homer, please contact:Erica.  email: Erica.cranford11@gmail.com  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 5:13 pm

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Nova is a great dog when it comes to her people. She is a snuggly clinger, who loves to play, and hide under blankets when she gets sleepy. She loves playing outside, still doesn’t quite understand fetch but knows basic commands. She is very food-motivated and loves treats. We have a black lab (F) and they are best friends. We also have two cats, which she is quite unsure of, but tolerates anyways. Nova was a rescue from a home that did not care much about her. She can be iffy around some men. She came to me untrained, and highly anxious, with behavioral issues like guarding food/toys and fear of strangers. We hired a trainer, Nancy Willams, to work with Nova and I. Her behavior has improved since then, but she would benefit from more training. She’s the sweetest girl, and would do best where she has another dog friend.

Story
Charlene just celebrated her sixth birthday in a loving foster home. She has one birthday wish. That wish is to find her forever family. This pretty girl arrived to BHS on a December evening. She was picked up by her amazing foster family shortly after, and they`ve had nothing but the best things to say about her. She is such a sweet, loving girl who is crate-trained, house-trained and LOVES to take a good snooze. Charlene also enjoys showing off her toys to anyone around her proudly. Toys make her so happy every time she sees one; her whole back end wiggles! Charlene prefers to be the center of your world and would like to be the only fur child so she can always stay in the spotlight. This girl will surely win over your heart!What`s Next?

Story
My name is Sir Roc and yes I am as regal as that sounds. I weigh roughly 85lbs. I am a sweet handsome senior man that loves being outside, getting cuddles, and spending time with my favorite people. I am a little nervous here in the shelter but I warm up quickly and once I do, I like getting booty rubs and giving gentle kisses. I am technically classified as a senior but don`t let my age fool you. I love being outside, going for long walks and being active. I have quickly gathered the hearts of almost every staff member that works here and when you meet me, you will quickly find out why. I am just a special soul. If you like what you have read, read below for how to meet me. I have lived with children and cats in my foster homes, but I would be more comfortable being the only dog in the home. What`s Next? I am currently in a foster home so if you`d like to meet me, please complete an online adoption application and either send us an email at animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or give us a call at 410-833-8848 Ext 2 so we can coordinate a meet!
