🎃 Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice—that’s what Josh is made of! 🍁

Meet Josh, our warm and sweet 6-year-young (77 lb) cuddle bug who’s ready to sprinkle your life with all the cozy fall vibes. Just like your favorite pumpkin spice latte, Josh is a perfect mix of comfort, warmth, and just the right amount of spice!

This big baby adores love and pets—he’ll never say no to snuggles. He’s affectionate, amusing, and people-friendly, with a bubbly personality that’s impossible not to fall for. Imagine Josh curled up beside you after a long walk, tail wagging as he soaks up every ounce of your affection—that’s his idea of heaven.

🍂 Josh’s Fall Favorites:

🍁 Playing fetch and zooming around the yard with his “tucked butt” sprints.

🍁 Gentle mornings with snuggles after sleeping peacefully on his dog bed.

🍁 Car rides where he’s calm and content, ready to be your co-pilot for leaf-peeping adventures.

🍁 Savoring treats and mealtimes (he’s super polite and never jumps for food!).

Josh is eager-to-please, easy-to-train, and smart enough to follow fun commands (like finding his foster Nana!). He’s a gentle giant who loves stuffed toys and treats them with care. While he can be a bit strong on leash and prefers to be your one-and-only pup, he promises to fill your home with enough love to last a lifetime.

With his soulful brown eyes and a heart as sweet as autumn pie, Josh is waiting to be the cozy companion you’ve been dreaming of. 🍂

👉 Vaccinations UTD | Housetrained | Lap Dog at heart

Bring home Josh—because life’s better with a little Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice. ❤️🐾

Update: Reed's Rescue is saving these two...phew!
Thank you to them ❤️

Hail Mary needed...still alive but need out TODAY, 8/31 by 5PM.
Need foster and rescue...email shelter ASAP if you can help

"✳️FOBCD will sponsor these two with $400 total, to help any approved rescue partner with medical needs.🆘🆘🆘

🆘Rex and DJ are hoping to stay together and they need an APPROVED RESCUE PARTNER to take them in. They have lived together their whole lives. Typical senior issues and looking for a soft place to land. They are not adoptable directly to the public and cannot be fostered through the shelter.🆘

Meet Rex & DJ! These senior pups came to Baltimore County Animal Services after their owner had to suddenly leave and could not take them with. The owner reported they are somewhat crate trained and are house broken. They were described as having a calm activity level in the home too. They have lived with children and did well and also did well with other dogs they met. While in the shelter, they find comfort in each other and will jump at their kennel door when people approach, showing how eager they are to leave shelter life behind. DJ (black/grey) is easy to leash and happy to trot around outside and engage with all the sites and sounds of the environment. He accepted pets all throughout his walks too. Rex (tan) is a bit more nervous and avoidant at first but with gentle talking will come up to you. He feels more comfortable with DJ and was happy to play with him once out of the kennel. He would accept pets too but overall seemed more interested in hanging out with DJ. Both dogs are sweet and would love to be back in a home environment.

Both boys are seniors and do have some medical needs. Rex is 12 years old and has severe dental disease. DJ is 14 years old with lenticular sclerosis, severe dental disease, and sebaceous adenomas on his back side. Due to their age and medical needs we are hoping to place them with a rescue organization ASAP!

💔 Meet Bruce — the boy no one asks for, even though he asks for everyone. 💔

Bruce has been waiting almost his whole life for a family of his own, and we can see the hope fading from his eyes. At 2 years and 11 months old, he should be chasing toys in the backyard with his forever family, snuggling up on the couch at night, and going on adventures with the people who love him. Instead, he waits… and waits.

Bruce is 59 pounds of love and loyalty, a happy, affectionate pup who adores toys, car rides, walks, and cuddles. He’s housetrained, crate trained, treat motivated, and eager to please. He has so much good energy—just two walks a day and some playtime make his world complete. Around people, he shines. He’s sweet, gentle, and ready to be someone’s best friend.

Bruce would do best in a home with kids 6 and up who can enjoy his playful energy. He also has a high prey drive, so no kitties, please. With dogs, Bruce does well with pups of similar energy, but he’s still learning polite leash manners when meeting new dog friends. The good news? He’s making great progress with training, and with continued support, we know he’ll blossom into an amazing companion.

But still, no one chooses him. And it breaks our hearts just as much as it breaks his. 💔

Bruce’s 3rd birthday is in just three weeks… and his only wish is to finally celebrate it with a forever family of his very own. Can you imagine giving him the gift of a lifetime—the home he’s been waiting for?

👉 Apply for adoption today—don’t let Bruce spend another birthday wondering if he’ll ever be chosen: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AAHA/Dog

Happy Saturday, friends! Meet Tundra – 56 lbs of pure joy wrapped in fur! 🐾

This almost-3-year-old sweetheart is the perfect mix of goofy and cuddly. He’s crate trained, housetrained, affectionate, and treat motivated (he’ll happily work for snacks 🍪). Tundra is calm in the car, loves toys, and will keep you smiling with his curious, amusing personality.

With his medium energy level, he’s happy with just one or two walks a day and then snuggling up for belly rubs. 🐶💕 He’s great with kids of all ages, eager to please, and knows his basic commands. The only thing he’s not a fan of? Cats – he’s a little too curious for them! 🐾

Tundra would make the perfect go-to-work buddy or family sidekick. 🐕✨

📩 Apply to adopt Tundra today and make every morning brighter: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AAHA/Dog

✨🌙 As the week winds down and Friday evening settles in, there’s one very special boy dreaming of his forever home… ✨🌙

Meet Glimmet 💕 — a 2 ½ year old, 71-lb bundle of love who has the sweetest spirit and the happiest heart.

Glimmet has blossomed in his foster home, showing what a truly wonderful companion he can be. He’s housetrained, crate trained, and knows his manners — sit, stay, wait, even “leave it.” He loves his toys, especially squeaky ones, and when playtime is done, he’s just as happy to curl up quietly beside you. 🐾

Affectionate, gentle, and eager to please, Glimmet is the kind of dog who makes every day a little brighter. He enjoys his walks, listens well, and is always up for kisses and cuddles. And though he’s 71 pounds, he’ll still try to be your lapdog — because in his eyes, being close to you is what matters most. 💛

This sweet boy is looking for a forever family who will treasure his playful spirit, his curiosity, and his endless love. With Glimmet, you’ll find a loyal companion who will give you all the joy, laughter, and snuggles your heart could ever want.

💌 Vaccinations are up-to-date. Glimmet is ready to meet the family who will love him for a lifetime. Could it be you?

🐾Meet 4 year old 71 pound Sparky! 🐾
Curious • Confident • Cuddly • Smart • Gentle

Start your day with a floppy hug and end it with a heart-melting pittie smile—Sparky is here to brighten every moment in between! This affectionate, medium-energy boy is equal parts playful and sweet, with a calm presence and a big love for life (and treats!).

🏠 Home Life
Sparky is adjusting beautifully to home life. He’s crate trained and sleeps peacefully through the night. He loves his meals and is food motivated—perfect for continued training!

Sparky gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a friendly pup. He respects correction, doesn’t guard toys, and is always up for some gentle play. Due to his curiosity and barking around cats, a cat-free home is best.

🐕 Out & About
Sparky is great on leash—he may pull a bit but is easily redirected. He shows interest in people and dogs on walks but never lunges or jumps. Because of his impaired vision in his right eye, he’ll need a bit of guidance on unfamiliar paths, but he navigates with confidence and calm.

🎓 Training Progress
Sparky already knows “sit” and “touch,” and he’s working on “stay,” “leave it,” and “paw.” His eagerness to learn and love of treats make him a joy to train!

Whether he’s cuddling on the couch, trotting calmly on a leash, or lighting up your day with his signature pittie grin, Sparky is ready to bring love, laughter, and loyalty into your life.❤️
