GIGGLES somehow ended up at a shelter in Baltimore. They estimated
her to be about 14 years old & a Dachshund mix - we are not sure she is either! She does
have a graying muzzle and is deaf fom age but this ol' girl has some spunk left! Very
friendly & sweet and will make an excellent companion for someone who is home during the
day. Gets along well with other dogs & cats. Not high energy by any stretch but enjoys
walks on a leash and will even have spurts of play. LOVE her ears! Seems to be housebroken.
Giggles appears to have been spayed previously. She has been vaccinated and is ready for
a home of her own! If you can give Giggles a loving retirement home please fill out an
application.
Adoption fee $100.

TOBY is a 6 month old puppy who was seized from a neglectful situation in
Baltimore. At that time (he was 5 months) he weighed 14 lbs - half what a pup
his age should weigh. The picture with the blue background is Toby as he arrived
at the shelter in Baltimore. Toby has been thriving in a foster home with
CompAnimals. He is still slender but his bones are barely visible. He is an
active, happy, playful pup now. Due to the near starvation, his bloodwork upon
intake showed some elevated values so we will be doing another blood test
shortly to confirm that he is healing inside as well as out. If all goes well,
Toby will be neutered and available for adoption by the end of July. Will post
updates after he sees the vet. We are looking for a home with Bully Breed
experience. Due to the rough start, he will not be a huge dog although he does
have some Great Dane characteristics. Toby tends to attach himself to his person
so a family that will give him the socialization & obedience training as well as
love and kisses is a must! We do require that Toby's new family enroll him in a
basic obedience class as part of the adoption agreement. Please fill out an
application.
Home visit and vet refs required.
Adoption fee $200

BUSTER & PORKCHOP have lived most of their lives together and are now
losing their home to foreclosure. Both 9 years old. Buster & Porkie are like an
old married couple - they love each other and don't want to let the other one
out of their site - would love for them to find a happy retirement home for
both. Since their situation is urgent we are looking for either a temporary
foster home or, even better, an adoptive home for this duo. Buster is neutered,
both have been fully vetted & Porchop will be spayed prior to adoption. Please
fill out an application or email for more info.
Adoption fee $200 for the pair. Must go together.

MAXWELL is a senior Chihuahua mix - not sure of his age as he was a stray
but our vet feels he is about 7-10 yrs old. Maxwell is a "little old ladie's
dog". Would love for someone to spoil him in his retirement years. Maxwell LOVES
treats! He is pretty spry for his age and can easily do the 1/2 mile loop around
the park behind us twice a day. Gets along with other dogs and cats (in fact he
likes to hang out in out cat room!). Maxwell is a little protective of his food
dish with other dogs and because of this should probably go to a home without
small kids. Maxwell loves to be near you - he is lying at my feet as I type this
- but isn't much of a cuddler. Maxwell had quite a few rotten teeth pulled
before coming here. The rotten teeth took a toll on his heart and although he
has no symptoms and is not on meds at this time he might have to be in the
future. Our vet also felt with getting the infection out of his mouth would help
immensely. Maxwell has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and is on
heartworm prevention. Please fill out an application or email for more info.
Maxwell can be seen Wed-Sat 12-5 at our adoption center.
Adoption fee $50

At first glance, this girl could be mistaken for a Bull Walrus instead of a Pit
Bull but make no mistake - there is a dog under all that blubber!
You can't fault SHEBA for her - um - roundness.... She has a thyroid
condition & takes an inexpensive medication daily to get her thyroid levels
where they should be.
She currently weighs in at 86 lbs and should lose 30 lbs to be a healthy dog. Her
foster Mom, unfortunately, does not have the heart to cut out Friday night
meatballs, etc from her diet so she has actually gained instead of losing in the
past 6 months.
Sheba has just been spayed & had a blood test to confirm that we are on the right
dosage for her meds and her thyroid levels are now good. She needs a home where
she will get a portion-controlled diet and daily exercise.
Sheba loves everyone & would do well in a family setting. She seems to get along
with other dogs (although she would need a sturdy playmate) and she doesn't mind
the stray cats that wander into her yard.
Adoption fee $150 (includes 6 mo supply of meds)

OTTO is a 6-7 year old Chihuahua who was adooted from us & is now coming
back due to some anxiety issues plus not getting along with the rescued Boxer in the house. Otto
is a typical Chihuahua with a Napoleon complex - would prefer a home with Chi experience. Otto
lost one eye to an injury years ago - it was surgically removed & causes no problems. He is OK
with the kids he lives with but would do best in a quiet, adult-only home. Otto is neutered,
vaccinated & chipped. Please fill out an application or email to set up an appt to meet Otto
(he is still residing with his family while we search for his forever home).
Adoption fee $165.

SHERMAN is a wonderful dog - we first met him as a 3 day old pup
and one of our board members adopted his sister, Panzee. Sherman was adopted as
a pup by a wonderful family & was doing great until the husband, who was in the
military, went overseas. Twice afterwards, he nipped at a person who was petting
him as they took their hand away. We feel that when the husband (the alpha) was
removed from the family that Sherman was filling the position & trying to
protect his other person. Sherman has been back at our adoption center for a
while now with no incidents. He is practically a model citizen. We have young
volunteers age 11 & up & Sherman has been great with everyone. Probably best
with that age group as he hasn't been around a lot of really young kids. He
LOVES to go on long walks & hikes. Sherman completed a $1000+ training program
in January 2009 at the Perfect Pooch in King of Prussia, PA. They are offering a
free repeat course for his new family. He also attended Doggy Day Care there &
the Perfect Pooch would be happy to vouch for his character as well. Sherman is
a good traveler & would go on long trips with his family. He has been exposed to
cows & horses & loves to run around at the barn. We would like Sherman to be in
a family that can include him in their activities, not leave him at home. He
would love to have a doggy friend. He did not live with cats in his former home
& although we can leash walk him through the cat room we do not totally trust
him around cats yet. Further socialization or a cat free home recommended.
Sherman loves to be outside & on sunny days likes to chase shadows (especially
butterfly shadows). He also loves his doggy toys. Sherman would love most of all
to be in a warm & loving home again. Sherman is almost 5 years old & received
the best of care in his former home. He is neutered, vaccinated & on heartworm
prevention. Please email for more info or fill out an application.
Adoption fee $150.

When we first met this little girl she was so frightened that she would yelp out
as if she had gotten an electric shock even before you touched her. It took her
weeks to gain our trust but hot dog bits & rides in the car gradually brought
her around. Now she is the sweetest cuddle bug with those she trusts.
ELLIE loves to sleep under the covers! She is a good hiking companion &
enjoys playing ball. Excellent with other dogs & cats. Still fearful of some new
people yet fine with others. We have not yet come up with a pattern - perhaps
she is just picking up on vibes? Ellie needs a calm yet assertive owner who will
help her overcome her fears. She needs to continue to be exposed to new people,
sights & sounds in a safe manner so that they don't frighten her & she doesn't
frighten them. Her foster Mom takes her in the car just about everywhere & she
is getting more comfortable with people who walk past. She seems to like
children but we feel an adult-only home is best & she can continue to get
exposure to kids at the park or with relatives, etc. We would like Ellie's new
family to enroll her in a basic obedience - again for the continued
socialization process. Ellie comes to our adoption center each day - Wed-Sat
12-5. Please email with questions or for more info or fill out an application.
Ellie has been spayed, vaccinated & microchipped. Started on HW prevention.
Adoption fee $150.

HOPE is a 6 yr old Border Collie/Whippet. She is an active dog & true to
the breed - needs a 'job' to do. In her foster home, Hope's job is hiking which
she LOVES! Would also be a good jogging partner. Hope is excellent with other
dogs and fine with cats as well. Good with kids but because of her Border Collie
herding instincts should probably not live in a home with small kids. Hope is
obedience trained & very smart. An all around NICE dog who is ready to move into
a fur-ever home of her own. Hope has been spayed & vaccinated and was well cared
for in her former home. Please fill out an application if interested in
adoption.
Adoption fee $165.

CUPCAKE was found as a stray and not claimed. She is an energetic girl
who needs an active family! Cupcake is a strong girl & will pull on a leash-
basic obedience class with her new family would do her a world of good. She
needs to get her RDA of exercise in every day! Cupcake LOVES people! Not so much
other dogs or cats. LOVES water also! Would be a great companion for an avid
hiker or runner. Cupcake is approx 2 yrs old. She has been spayed, vaccinated,
tested neg for heartworms and is microchipped. Crate trained and housebroken.
Come visit her at our Adoption Center.
Adoption fee $150.

BALOO is losing his family due to no fault of his own. He is an
awesome dog - this is what his family says about him:
Baloo was born in New London, PA on Nov. 3, 2004. He is a purebred black lab with
a very sweet spirit, pretty eyes and a loving heart. He is good with cats, kids
and most other dogs. He grew up with a miniature dachshund. Unfortunately, Baloo
got caught in a divorce and his dad moved away and did not come back for him.
All his children are now in college and he is lonely. Now, it is time to move on
and Baloo needs a loving home where he can run and have fun with other dogs and
kids like he is used to doing. Baloo was vaccinated, neutered & microchipped on
11/7 and is ready to move on with his life. Please fill out an application.
Adoption fee $165.

We picked up MOM-MOM (aka Coco Bean) from BARCS in Baltimore after her
owner went into assisted living. She jumped into my car and never looked back.
This dog greats life with enthusiasm and although her body fails her she still
tries to leap into the car and take steps 2 at a time. She loves to go on walks
but arthritis in her front end limits her to a spin around the block once or
twice a day. She comes to my office and our adoption center and will make an
excellent companion for both home and office. She is happy wherever she is just
as long as it is with her person. Mom-Mom is estimated to be between 10 & 13 yrs
of age. She has been diagnosed with Cushings and takes a once-a-day liquid
(liver flavor!) which costs about $60 per month. The side effects of Cushings
are a weak hind end, drinking a lot and peeing due to the drinking so although
she is housebroken she can't hold it for a full day. Good with other dogs but
bossy at times. Fine with cats as well but will chase one out of the room for
kicks if she's showing off. LOVES car rides and playing with a tennis ball.
Please email to make an appointment to see Mom-Mom or fill out an application.
Adoption fee $100

AKIRA ('Kira') is the most amazing, wonderful Min Pin we have ever met! She
has good manners and the best personality. Loves to be with you but is not 'needy'. Good with
everything - cats, dogs, kids. She is 5 years old and was given up when her family moved and
could not afford the pet deposit in the new apartment. Kira is a bit chubby (18 lbs) and needs
to lose a few before the vet wil spay her. Looking for a home locally so that we can follow
through with the spay after her adoptive family has kept up with her diet and exercise program
:) and can get her down to 15-16 lbs. Kira has been vaccinated & heartworm tested neg & will
be microchipped at time of spay. Please fill out an application or email for an appt to meet
Kira in her foster home.
Adoption fee $200.

HAILEY is a 1-2 yr brindle mix. We weren't quite sure what she was mixed
with so we invested in a DNA test. The results? AmStaff/Mastiff with a touch of
Golden Retriever/Australian Shepherd. Hailey is a sturdy girl! She is well
behaved in the house and is housebroken and crate trained. Hailey does pull on a
leash and tries to push her way through doorways. She is very sweet and gets
along with other dogs and cats. Suggest a family with teenage children because
she might be 'too strong' for younger kids. Hailey is residing at our adoption
center and can be seen here Wed-Sat 12-5, Please email for more info or fill out
an application. Home visit & vet refs required. We also require that Hailey's
new family enroll her in a basic obedience class to get everyone started on the
right foot (paw?). Hailey has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and is
heartworm neg and on prevention.
Adoption fee $150.

MOOSE is a 1 1/2 yr old pup who was adopted from us and then returned when the family
was not meeting his needs. Moose is an active fellow and needs some exercise and structure to keep
him occupied or else he will occupy himself (lol) and it might not be something you had in mind
(like jumping the fence to chase squirrels around the neighborhood!). Moose is a wonderful family
dog & was raised with young kids and one very large dog. He is not good with cats as he has learned
that critters are good for chasing. Best with dogs about his own size (Moose is 60 lbs). Moose is
athletic and LOVES to go hiking - would also make a good jogging partner. LOVES to ride in the car
and just generally hang out with his humans. He also easily transitions to couch potato mode. Moose
is housebroken & crate trained. He will jump a 4' fence so a home with either a privacy fence or
no fence (leashwalking) would be best. Moose has been vaccinated, microchipped & neutered & is
ready for a home that can make a lifetime commitment to him. Please fill out an application or
email for more info.
Adoption fee $165.

DIAMOND needs a special home. We don't know what her beginnings were where
she came from in Baltimore. We do know that she had a broken leg that was not
treated and healed on its own. The result was a slightly shorter right hind leg
which doesn't slow Diamond down but causes her to limp slightly. We are pretty
sure she was not socialized with other dogs or cats as a pup - she does not get
along with either and needs to be placed as an only pet. What we do know is that
Diamond will make a great companion for the right person. She needs a home with
bully breed experience. One that can get her out and about - hiking etc - while
keeping her safe from other dogs. One that can give her the obedience training
she needs to become a model citizen. Someone who needs a buddy, like Diamond
needs a someone. Diamond is an excellent driving partner - lies down in a bed in
the back. She also likes hikes and walks well on a leash (until she sees another
dog but that will come with training & getting out more). She can be a bit hyper
but calms down with a regular regimen of exercise. Diamond likes to play ball
(but won't bring it back). Enjoys your company and is always smiling. She has
not been exposed to young kids & would do best in an adult only home or one with
teenagers. Please email for more info or fill out an application if you are
interested in adopting. Diamond has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped &
heartworm negative and on prevention. Diamond is 5 yrs old. Home visit and vet
reference check required.

CHARLOTTE was rescued from a neglectful situation but it didn't get her
down - she is a happy-go-lucky 4 yr old pup who loves life. LOVES people and
going for hikes! Enjoys swimming (will put her whole head under water!) and a
good game of fetch. Charlotte needs an active family who will include their dog
in family activities - take her to soccer games, hiking, the beach etc - not
just "a big back yard." Charlotte is 8 months old and we do require that her new
family enroll her in a basic obedience class to get everyone off to a great
start. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and tested negative for
heartworms. She will make a WONDERFUL family dog!

BOOMER was found as a stray by a Good Samaratin who kept him for weeks
trying to locate his family to no avail. Boomer was very thin, presumably from
being on the loose for some time. He is deaf - probably from old age - he is at
least 9 yrs old. Boomer sleeps a lot but he also likes to go for walks too. He
has an elegant gait - almost floats along! Boomer seems to enjoy kids but
because of his age we would recommend kids 10 & up. He is fine with cats. gets
along with some dogs but would be happiest as an only dog. Boomer was previously
neutered & we have had him vaccinated and tested neg for heartworms and lyme
disease. Please fill out an application, email for more info or come visit him
at our adoption center in Landenberg, PA.
Adoption fee $100 negotiable to the perfect home.

EMMA is an 8 yr old Rat Terrier / Italian Greyhound Mix. She is dainty yet
athletic - plays a good game of fetch with a tennis ball. Gets along with other dogs
& cats although she will stand up for herself so possibly best not paired with a dominant
female. Emma was given up when her military owner was transferred overseas. Emma is in
a foster home in New Castle, DE and currently living with a large dog and several cats.
Please fill out an application before makng an appointment to meet her with her foster
family. Emma has been spayed, vaccinated & microchipped.

NINA was found locally as a stray - here is a note from her foster mom:
We found her sleeping in a tall pile of grass in our front yard. She was very,
very, skinny and had some sores on her back. Since she has been staying with us
she has put on a little weight and now weighs about 37lbs but she will put on
some more weight. She is black with very cute white markings. She is an absolute
delight. She is a very gentle soul who is fantastic with our montley crew of
other dogs and human visitors. We don't know how she feels about cats yet. She
is a little timid on our daily walks but is friendly to all who come up and
greet her (including the neighborhood kids) and is building more confidence each
day. She loves to cuddle, play and go on walks. She pulls on the leash but is
getting better the more she's walked. She could use some obedience training but
is highly food motivated and is a very fast learner. Although she is a good
listener she needs to watched in the kitchen as she will jump up on the
counters, but is learning house manners quickly. She seems to be house trained
and create trained, though she cries at first if she is in there during the day.
She sleeps in the create at night with no problem. She is just an all around
great dog, who will make someone an awesome walking/jogging partner, couch
companion.
Nina has been vaccinated & spayed, microchipped and tested neg for heartworms.
She was treated with antibiotics for her skin and her coat is coming in black
and glossy. The vet feels like she is 1 1/2 - 2 yrs old. Definitely Shar Pei mix
but what she's mixed with is anyone's guess. Please fill out an application or
email for more info.

TEDDY BEAR is an awesome dog. A great family dog who LOVES kids and gives
everything 110%. Aptly named, he loves snuggling but is also an active companion
who needs lots of exercise. Does well with other dogs and loves to play. Teddy
was given up by his family because he can fly over a 4' fence if something fun
is on the other side (in their case, a state park). He will not leave the yard
while you are out with him so he needs supervision outside or a home that will
leash walk him. Teddy is social and is able to go to dog parks. Looooong hikes
would also be great for him. Teddy is staying at our adoption center and can be
seen during our visiting hours. Please fill out an application to apply.

ROCK is a 2-3 year old AmStaff who was taken in by a kind samaritan after
his young owner couldn't afford him. Now she too has fallen on hard times and
needs to place Rock in a new home. Rock is super sweet with people & all the
kids in the neighborhood love him. Due to being attacked by another dog as a
pup, Rock would do best as the only dog in the home. Rock is pretty well
mannered - knows sit & high five! LOVES KIDS!! A basic obedience refresher would
be a great bonding experience for Rock and his new family. Rock has been
neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and is ready to move in with you! Please
email for more info or fill out an application. Rock is still living in his
temporary home in Newark DE. Visits can be scheduled after application approval.
