Age: 1 year

Color: Brown/Red

Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog/Pit Bull Mix

Gender: Male

Adoption Fee: $16 (all March)

Roses are red and violets are blue, I can't wait to be adopted and spend my life with you! Hello there, I'm Sidney, a 1-year-old with the most beautiful (and unique) markings down my back. The shelter staff think I might be mixed with Catahoula Leopard Dog, but I don't care about all that. I care about (in no particular order) having my belly rubbed, squeaky toys, food, and going for walks. I like to play with other fun-loving dogs, and I love kids, especially ones that don't mind kisses ???? They tell me I'm a special boy because I have 3 legs, but honestly, I don't even realize I'm special. I get around just like any other dog! Please make the drive to the shelter and talk to the staff about meeting me. It'll be the best thing you ever do, promise!

**ALL DOGS over 1 years and older for the month of March are just $16...which includes Sidney!!!

SPOT

Age: 6 years

Color: Black & White

Breed: Mixed Breed

Gender: Male

Adoption Fee: $16 (all March)

Do you feel that in your chest? That’s Spot and he’s tugging on your heart

One of our volunteers took Spot home for a week and during that time, here’s what she wants you to know:

Spot is completely house-trained. He knows to potty outside and could be trusted to free-roam our house when we were not home. Even though he has spent months in the shelter, he didn't have any accidents in our home! He is also crate-trained and didn't mind sleeping in his crate (all curled up on lots of blankets) overnight.

Spot is very smart and attentive. He knows "sit" and is working on "down". He knows "look at me" and always keeps one eye on you when out playing in the yard. Despite being deaf, he was picking up hand signals quickly and was easy to recall when we wanted him to come back inside.

He loves napping on the couch. A perk of being deaf is that he could happily nap the day away despite whatever we happened to be doing.

He was great for the groomer. We took Spot for a spa day to help him to look and feel his best, and the groomer said he was excellent!

Spot is super dog-friendly!

Even though he's 6 years old, Spot enjoys playing fetch. He's super gentle with stuffed toys, and didn't tear them up. He would even take his toys and pile them in his crate for safe keeping (super cute). We found that Spot can quickly go through a Himalayan cheese chew, but the elk antlers worked really well for him.

If you're looking for a bird-watching partner, Spot is all in. When he wasn't napping on the couch, Spot would sit at the window and watch the birds at our bird feeder

Since Spot is deaf, he will need to find a forever home without any children. His ideal home would also not have any cats since he likes to chase them. Spot does pull on the leash when he first goes out for a walk. However, he does settle down and will walk calmly. We think that once he has more consistency in his forever home, he will get much better at walking on a leash.

Spot is the sweetest, silliest boy I've met. It's hard not to fall in love with him. He's had a rough start to life and deserves the best home. If you're interested in adopting Spot, please come for a visit – and if you can't adopt at this time, please share to help Spot find his forever home!

Do you think we're gonna get any snow this year? While we'd love to see the world covered in a big pile of the white stuff, it's okay if it never snows cuz we've got each other! I'm Nellie, and me and my brother Nash are 1-year-old Huskies who were found running loose in a state park! But now we're here and as you can see from our pics, we're doing just fine. Together we're a blast and will engage in serious wrestling sessions that will have you grinning from ear to ear. I like to sleep with my face smushed against something or with my legs in the air! Nash is definitely the straight man to my comical self! We love each other so much and I just couldn't imagine life without my brother, so we must be adopted together. Please come for a visit and witness for yourself the pure joy we create.

????Ahoy Matey’s???? 

My name is Captain Jenny and I am a true pirate! Like most pirates, I found myself lost at sea in a little town called Chesapeake City. Thankfully my friends at CCAS came to my rescue and have proven to be a seaworthy crew. Sadly, I’ve been at CCAS for almost a year:( 

I am a seasoned pirate at the age of 8 and have survived the “ruff” seas. I am looking to retire these tired bones and seek the ultimate treasure.... a FAMILY and a home of my very own!

My ideal home would include no other pets or a docile male canine companion to pal around with. I also wouldn’t mind little pirates that are 10 and over. I am available for adoption or through our Sunset Foster Program! Our Sunset Foster Program helps place senior pets and those with long term medical needs. Pirates included! 

If you want to meet a pirate pup like me, call on my friends at CCAS! They can be reached at (410)441-2040 or you can send them a message! 

?? Shiver me timbers I’ll be awaiting your call??

Are you someone who truly believes that great things come to those who wait? Someone who understands that patience is a virtue? Then you're speaking Tyrion's language! When you first meet him, expect Ty to turn away from you and hide. But with some yummy treats, Ty will gradually learn he can trust you, and then you're in his inner circle! The reward for your patience will be a sweet, devoted companion who has playful bursts of energy followed by naps on his spot on the couch. Do you already have another dog at home? Now you're really singing Tyrion's tune! Other dogs tend to bring out the very best in Ty and he loves to pal around and play with his doggie friends.

Age: 3 years

Gender: Male

Adoption Fee: $160

"The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart." I love this quote from Saint Jerome! Hi there, my name is Tatum, but you can call me Tate for short. When I arrived at the shelter, I could barely keep my eyes open due to a condition where my eyelashes curved inward and irritated my eyes. Thankfully, I got the surgery I needed and my eyes can now totally show what's in my heart: pure love! I like to go on long walks and enjoy the outside air, and I do great with other dogs and would be okay with a home with another fur friend or even just new pawrents to spend all my time with. Don't be shy...come in and fill out an application so you can meet me!

This is how Tatum used to look before his eyes were fixed...

Simba has lived with other cats, kids and even a dog and once again, he took it all in stride. Our mature friend is a bit of a, shall we say, chonk? He tips the scales at around 20 lbs, so fitness is definitely going to be one of his New Year's resolutions. If you'd like to get him back on track to achieve his goals, come on by!

"A true friend accepts who you are, but also helps you become who you should be." -Unknown

Hi, my name is Fern, and this is a story about two unlikely friends who met in foster care and have helped each other become better versions of themselves! I first met my best buddy, Tyrion, when he came to stay at my foster home with me. We had never met before, but we have helped each other flourish quickly. (Fern looks over at Tyrion who nods.) So we've discussed it, and we'd like to stay together. We know it might be a lot for some people to take on 2 dogs at once, but we pledge to play together, nap together and love you together with all our hearts. Since we're in a foster home, if you'd like to meet us, first email adopt@harfordshelter.org for an adoption application and once approved, the meet & greet will be scheduled.

Hi, I'm Pugsley and I came to the shelter with my sister, Wednesday. Are we actually related? I dunno but we get along well, and although I wouldn't say that we're bonded, if you'd like to adopt both of us, that sure would be swell! We're both young too, so you'll be getting lots of puppy energy! We walk very well on the leash and just adore toys. Do you have toys with those squeaky things inside? Then we definitely want to come and live with you!!

????Hi! I’m Panda the Pup???? 

I am a 4 year old American Bulldog mix. I am a big boy and a sweet soul. I enjoy the company of female dogs and love human affection. I would do best in a home with children 12 and over due to my size and burly nature. 

But, most importantly, how handsome am I in my tiny hat? Isn’t it dapper?
