Cappucino (7822910)
is a stunning, unique-looking 5 month old Hound/Great Dane mix who was found wandering around a construction site, covered in ticks and feeling kinda icky! Tick-free and happy as can be, Cappucino is a very social, spicy pup who walks perfectly on a leash, is a gentle, happy player, and loves to give licks! Cappucino can be a little pushy for attention and affection at times, so he deserves a strong, confident owner who will provided consistent leadership and boundaries. This handsome, enthusiastic pup should be 80+lbs when full grown.
(Adoption Pending)

Daisy (7862772)
is a stunning 4 year old American Eskimo mix who was surrendered by her owner because she didn't have adequate space in her home to take care of a pup. Daisy is a very friendly, social girl who just loves people and enjoys being the object of people's affection! Daisy walks well on a leash, is very tolerant with people and plays gently and appropriately! Daisy gets along well with most other dogs but could benefit from additional training and socilization, and she would likely do best in a home without small children and with owners who will spend a lot of time with her during the day (people who work from home are ideal!) and work with any potential separation issues. Daisy is full grown at 34lbs.

Rocky (7870363)
is a very handsome, goofy, playful 2 year old Rottweiler mix who was found wandering around Vista Road in Maryland, where a local woman found him, give him some food and gave us a call because she wasn't able to have a Rottweiler in neighborhood. Rocky is a VERY friendly, happy, gentle giant who just adores people. Incredibly cuddly and affectionate, he is a gentle player and is quite tolerant in general. Full of energy and a bit dominant with other dogs, Rocky deserves a home where he will get plenty of regular physical and mental exercise from a confident, strong owner. This goofy guy is full grown at about 70lbs.

Paige (7895139)
is an adorable 1 and a half year old Great Dane/Shepherd mix (and littermate of Reese!) who was surrendered by her owner because she simply owned too many animals.

She enjoys playtime (and is a bit of a "social climber"), behaves completely appropriately with food, and though she is a bit timid at first, gets along well with other pups! We're already smitten with this gorgeous girl and know you will be as well! Paige is full grown at about 70lbs.

Winston Churchill (7949116)
is a dainty little 6 year old Miniature Poodle who was surrendered by his owner because he had some anxiety issues that his owners didn't have the time to properly address. Much calmer and happier now that he's sharing a kennel with another dog, this timid little guy is very affectionate and walks fantastically on a leash! Winston, like most poodles, will likely bond very strongly with his new owners. Tolerant and appeasing, he could benefit from additional confidence building, in addition to lots of love, in his new forever home. Winston is full grown at only 8lbs.

Ali (7682543)
is a super handsome 1 year old boy who was abandoned by his owner after he only owned him for a week. We don't understand why because Ali is just fabulous! A very excitable "wiggle butt," he loves people and really loves to hug you and rest his head on your lap as you pet him. A champion snuggler, he loves to play and is appropriate with other dogs when he does so. Ali will need plenty of daily exercise in his new forever home, and would be the ideal running or hiking companion for an owner with an active lifestyle. Ali is full grown at 45lbs.
Because he's super intelligent, Ali is a member of S.I.T.! Click the link below for more information on this fantastic program!
