Breed: Mixed Breed

Adoption Fee: $75 (thru 3/31/24)

My beautiful brown eyes and pure white coat will completely melt your heart (trust me when I say this). Hello there, I'm Thor, and I'm a 5-year-old cuddle bug! My foster mom says I LOVE throw pillows to rest my head on, and I really dig it when you cover me with a soft blanket. Taking strolls around the neighborhood, meeting other people and their dogs, and enjoying the spring weather is the bee's knees. Afterwards, my absolute favorite thing to do is play with toys and chase the ball. I could play for hours! I give my foster parents lots of kisses to let them know I'm having so much fun. If you'd like to meet me, fill out an adoption questionnaire or contact adopt@harfordshelter.org today!

Dog of the Week – VELVET

Age: 4 years

Color: Black & White

Breed: American Bulldog Mix

Gender: Female

Adoption Fee: $160

Resilient. Survivor. Angel. These are just a few of the many adjectives used to describe our favorite dog at the shelter: Velvet! A victim of unspeakable abuse, Velvet's recovery has been inspiring for everyone who hears her story, and now she's ready to start a brand-new life with you! This perfect potato loves to romp and play and when she's all tuckered out, adores cuddling and affection. She charms everyone she meets and is simply the best! Velvet has been around children and dogs and has been great, but because she has lost some of her peripheral vision, would prefer living with older kids who understand she can't see 100%. If you'd like to explore a relationship with Miss Velvet, all you have to do is visit. Hope to see you soon!

Dog of the Week – LEMON

Gender: Female

Adoption Fee: $250

Don’t you just love a good whodunit? Hi, I’m Lemon, and I’m a big fan of mystery novels and authors like Agatha Christie and John Grisham. And that’s probably because my past is a bit of a mystery and my mix of breeds is too, but you can help solve the mystery of where I’ll end up if you adopt me and take me home! I’m a little 11-month-old introvert who really lights up when other dogs are around. And when there’s toys involved…oh boy, then the fun really starts! I’m working on my social skills and self-confidence and the shelter staff is excited to talk to you about tools for success. They're also excited to bring me out to meet you, so come on over!

"We were like peas and carrots, Jenny and I." That is one of my all-time favorite movie lines. Hi, I'm Jenny, and I like to think someday soon I'll find somebody special who's the peas to my carrots. Except maybe we can change it to something tastier...like tuna and chicken...yum! Anyway, I love getting head scratches and playing with wand toys and lasers. I've met a few cats here at the shelter and seem to enjoy being around them so I think having kitty siblings would be pretty cool.

Pet of the Week – BONGO

Age: 4 years

Color: Grey & White

Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Gender: Female

Adoption Fee: $25 (thru 7/31/23)

Do you have a leaky faucet? You humans are funny about these things. You always have to be like, "better call a plumber" when all you really need is a kitty like me who loves lapping up the drops! I'm Bongo and while I'm wild about water, I'm also crazy 'bout children. Yep, little humans are kinda my thing. Maybe it's because I had a litter of little ones myself, but now that they're all adopted, I miss having kids around. I also love to cuddle and will rub against you endlessly for love. You may wake up with a crick in your neck, but you’ll never sleep better with me by your side. I'm pretty perfect! I'm ready to put my best paw forward and join a family, so if you've made it this far and are still reading, you've got to come check me out!

She's a gentle giant weighing over 100 lbs with a nub that never stops wagging!

Her favorite thing to do is roll around in the grass during a walk while soaking up the sunshine.

She has done well with other dogs in the shelter. In fact, we choose her for dog testing to see how a new dog feels about having a friend!

She prefers gentle canine friends as she has a calm demeanor.

She would do best with children 10 and over due to her size.

My name is Patch! I am a 2 year old Boxer Mix.

I am a gentle and sweet soul! I will provide lots of laughter to my new family!

In return, I only ask for a couple of things...

Lots of tennis balls are a must- I almost always have one in my mouth just waiting for you to play a game of fetch with me.

And I love other dogs! I would prefer to go home home with another dog as I am most comfortable when I have a dog pal near by.

I am doing well with the kitty in my foster home.

Due to my sensitive nature, I would do best in a quieter home to help me build confidence.

I would do best in a home with older children as I may knock a little one down.

Dog of the Week – BUDDY

Age: 6 years

Color: Black, Brown & White

Breed: Foxhound Mix

Gender: Male

Adoption Fee: Waived

A-roooo! That's hound language and means, "hello, I'm super excited to meet you!" My name is Buddy, and I'm a super-sweet middle aged guy who loves to howl, sniff and explore everything, but who can blame me? I'm a hound! I'm pretty relaxed around other dogs and children, but when it comes to cats, I show just a little too much interest and try to chase them. You might also notice my skin is a little red, but it's just an allergy that I came in with. The good news is, I enjoy taking medicated baths, and in no time, I'll be in tip-top shape! Serious companions can inquire and shower me with love weekdays from 11-6, Saturdays from 10-5, or Sundays from 12-4. Woof!
