Meet Tristan – Your Future Shadow, Comedian, and XL Lap Warmer 🐾

At 3.5 years old and 65 lbs of lovable goofball, Tristan is a peanut butter and banana–loving pup with a heart as big as his bark (which is all talk—literally). He’s housetrained, medium-energy, people-friendly, and knows his basic commands like a champ. With treat motivation at an all-time high, this guy is a training dream—just toss him a snack and he’s ready to learn, please, and repeat.

💡 Job Title: Loneliness Prevention Officer
🎬 Vibe: Dobby’s ears with Barney’s cuddles
💤 Sleep Style: Curled behind your back in a chair like a neck pillow with feelings
🧸 Toys: All squeakers must perish within 4.2 seconds. It’s the law.

While he’s friendly with other dogs, he appreciates slow introductions and a more chill, suburban setting—city hustle just isn’t his jam. He’s not aggressive, just... vocal. If you’ve ever wished someone would lovingly stare at you from one inch away while you p*e—Tristan is your guy. Shadow level? 10/10. Clinger status? Certified.

🚗 Road Trip Role: The nosy co-pilot who won’t take the wheel but will definitely judge your snack choices
💃 Excitement Move: Gallops like a horse, bunny hops, and spins during dinner like it’s a rave
🎭 Weirdest Quirk: He must sleep with his nose tucked under or touching you—he insists

Tristan has come so far and just needs a patient, loving home to keep helping him shine. He’s smart, cuddly, and hilariously charming. If you're ready for a lifelong companion who will never let you feel lonely (or p*e alone), apply to meet Tristan today!

📍 Apply to adopt or share to help Tristan find his perfect match!

Meet Oliver – Your Built-In Best Friend & Snack Manager!
🐾 60 lbs | 9 Years Young | Adoption Fee: $50

Looking for a lovable, low-maintenance sidekick who’s equal parts chill and charming? Meet Oliver, the ultimate snuggle buddy with a wiggly butt and a heart full of love. This sweet senior may be in his golden years, but he still knows how to make you smile—think Olaf vibes in dog form!

Oliver's Vibe:
He’s the king of comfy. You’ll often find him doing his signature move: laying down on his bed, scooting around to get just the right angle, then flopping over for maximum comfort. He’s got that happy tail, easygoing energy, and a fondness for belly rubs that makes him the perfect lounging companion.

Top Skills & Qualities:
✔️ Fully house-trained
✔️ Calm on leash and in the car (road trips? He’s in!)
✔️ Knows basic commands
✔️ Excellent with kids of all ages
✔️ Dog-friendly with proper introductions
✔️ Office-ready – the perfect pup to bring to work!

Foodie Alert:
Oliver is definitely treat-motivated and takes his role as “Snack Manager” very seriously. He’s a big fan of flavored bones and pup cups (doggy ice cream is his jam), but he’ll politely pass on the stuffies and balls.

Other Important Stuff:
🌧️ Rain? Nope. If it’s wet outside, he’ll give it one look and head back inside.
🌩️ Storms scare him, but he finds comfort staying close to his person.
🎆 Surprisingly cool with fireworks!
🐱 Too curious about cats—probably not the best match.
😴 FOMO Level: Low. If he’s comfy in his bed, he’s not getting up for anything.

Oliver is the kind of dog that makes every day better just by being in it. If you're looking for a loyal, goofy, and affectionate best friend, Oliver is your guy. Don’t let his age fool you—he’s got plenty of love and laughs left to give.

Apply to adopt this handsome gentleman today and let the good times roll (and scoot, and nap).

🐾A huge thank you to the amazing team at Pikesville Animal Hospital for taking such wonderful care of our sweet boy Herschel during his vet visit today! 🐶💙

Herschel was a total champ — the vet and techs couldn’t get enough of his goofy charm and happy tail wags. They gave him a glowing report and think he’s no more than a year to a year and a half old — just a young pup with his whole life ahead of him! 🐾✨

We just missed snapping a pic of his most impressive move: submerging his whole face in the water bowl like it was a swimming pool! 💦😂 The techs were cracking up and loving every second with him.

Now here’s the hard part… Herschel is currently stuck in a kennel and really needs a foster or adopter ASAP. He’s sweet, playful, and ready to trade kennel life for couch snuggles, backyard zoomies, and all the love he deserves.

If you can open your heart and home to this joyful boy, please reach out — Herschel is SO ready for his next chapter. 💛

😜
Meet Ruby – The Chill Queen of HOPE 🐾

💖 58 lbs of pure sweetness
📍Currently being pampered and trained in the HOPE Prison Program, PA
🎓 Training level: Honor student in belly rub appreciation and loyalty

Ruby isn’t just a dog—she’s a lifestyle. Think: long walks, slow lounging, belly rubs on demand, and a whole lotta love.

This beautiful, 3-year-old gem started off shy but has truly blossomed at HOPE. She’s now the kind of girl who follows her handler around like a shadow, greets you with a happy tail thump, and flops over for belly rubs at every opportunity (even if you’re just gone for a few minutes—she missed you, okay?).

💡 What Makes Ruby Amazing:
• House-trained and crate-trained like a pro
• Walks like a dream on leash—minimal pulling, maximum vibes
• Loves being outside, sniffing the breeze, and relaxing in the sun
• Learning basic commands and doing fantastic with confidence building
• Great with calm dogs after a slow intro
• LOVES her friends Sherman & Ellie Mae at HOPE (they chill hard together)
• Not a big fan of loud noises, but she’s learning to handle them like a champ
• Water lover! Kiddie pool? She's in. Just don’t expect Olympic-level splashing

🐕 Best Match:
Ruby thrives in a calm environment with people who understand she may take a minute to warm up—but once she does, you’ve got a loyal, loving best friend. A quieter home and she’d love a doggy friend with matching low-to-medium energy.

💬 From her handler:
“Ruby’s just about the chillest dog I’ve ever met. If I’m sitting, she’s leaning into me. If I’m gone and come back, she’s all wag and wiggle. She trusts hard and loves even harder.”

🌟 Whether she's lounging in the grass, chilling poolside, or politely requesting neck scratches, Ruby is a total sweetheart with a gentle soul.

Ready to give this calm, cuddly, water-loving lady the forever home she deserves? She’s waiting with paws crossed and tail wagging.

🚨 PSA: Keep Your Dog Safe This July 4th

More dogs go missing on July 4th than any other day of the year. Fireworks can scare even the calmest pups into running off — and many never make it home.

Shelters are already full. When lost dogs flood in after the holiday, it puts unbearable pressure on shelters… and tragically, some dogs are put down simply because there's nowhere left for them to go.

✅ Keep your pets indoors
✅ Stay with them during fireworks
✅ Make sure they have ID tags and are microchipped

Don’t let your pet become a statistic. Help keep shelters from being overwhelmed.
Be their safe place this 4th of July.

7/1 update: We sadly got news that Kennedy was euthanized yesterday 💔

🆘 any shepherd lovers that can help save this baby? Please share and contact Friends of Baltimore county shelter dogs page if are able to pledge money to a rescue that could possibly save her.

"Update 6/27: A serious pledge donation has been made of $400 towards Kennedy’s medical care for a rescue that is able to pull. We are asking for rescue commitment immediately for Kennedy.



Meet Kennedy! This poor girl was found as a stray with another German Shepherd and luckily was brought into the shelter. The other shepherd has placement but we are hoping to find sweet Kennedy placement as well! While here, Kennedy has been very sweet. She enjoys being pet and will take treats but only if directly in front of her face. It seems she may be visually impaired to some capacity. Kennedy also presented with a significant head tilt, it is mostly to the right side but will sometimes be to the left. She was a bit unhappy for invasive handling during her exam and a sedated exam may be needed to determine the cause of the head tilt if it involves the inner ear. Despite her condition Kennedy has been in good spirits here at the shelter, always waiting nicely at the front of her kennel. Due to her medical needs she will need rescue placement immediately as we cannot hold her.



Name: Kennedy

Age: 5 years old

Gender: Female

Weight: 65.2lbs

Color: tan/black

Breed: German Shepherd

Reason for Rescue: Medical

Health Concerns: severe head tilt (needs further diagnostics), possibly visually impaired (full medical summary attached and available upon request)

Behavior: medium puller on leash, easily startled, doesn’t like invasive handling for vet exam but could be due to cause of head tilt

Available for Adoption through BCAS: No

Available for Foster through BCAS: No





Due to Kennedy’s current medical condition we are seeking IMMEDIATE rescue commitment and placement! Please let us know if your organization can help!



Thank you,

BCAS Rescue Team

🐾A Day in the Life of Stella 🐾 a.k.a. The Very Important Household Supervisor

Hi, I’m Stella! I’m a nearly 2-year-old spunky pittie mix and let me tell you…being this fabulous is a full-time job.

I start my mornings with a scrumptious breakfast—I supervise the food prep, of course (quality control is essential). Then it’s off to the fish tank where I make sure all 14 fish get their flakes. I take my role as Assistant Aquatic Feeding Director very seriously. 🐟

After that, I settle in for some Numberblocks with the little humans. I don’t fully understand numbers (what even is a prime number??), but I like the songs and the snuggles.

Then it’s time for yard duty. I keep close watch on all the suspicious bird activity outside. It’s exhausting, honestly. So obviously, I must nap. But not just any nap—I'm talking about the all-four-paws-in-the-air, tongue-hanging-out kind of nap. Who sleeps like that? Me. I do. 😴

Later, I try to “help” water the grass. Spoiler alert: I’m better at drinking the water and chasing the hose than I am at actual watering. But FETCH? Now that I crush. Olympic-level, if you ask me. 🎾💨

The day wraps up with the sweetest moment ever—my little foster brother reading me a bedtime story. I didn’t catch every word but I felt every sentence in my heart. ❤️

Phew. What a day! Being adorable takes stamina, people.

If you’re looking for a loyal, silly, fish-feeding, story-loving sidekick, I’m your girl. Let’s live the good life together.

Love,
Stella the Sensational

Please step up now if you can!!!

Dear Diary,
It’s me again—Ghost. Still here. Still waiting.

Every night I curl up on the same kennel floor and dream the same dream: I’m riding shotgun in a big rig, the windows down, the wind in my fur, the road stretching out like a promise. Just me and my person, watching the sun rise over mountains and set behind desert skies. No loud noises, no chaos, no scary past—just peace, the hum of tires, and maybe a toy or two in the passenger seat.

I’m five years old now. I’ve seen some things, Diary. I came from a hoarding situation where I didn’t get to be a dog much. But I’m learning. I’ve learned that people can be kind, that belly rubs are magic, and that toys are actually incredible. I’ve got a few teeth missing, sure, but don’t let that fool you—I can eat like a champ and then some.

I don’t ask for much. Just a quiet life, maybe the front seat of a truck, and someone who gets me. I’d do best as your one-and-only sidekick—no kids, no other pets, just you and me against the world. I walk like a gentleman on leash, I’m house-trained, and I promise to love you in the quietest, most loyal way possible.

Here’s where I need help, Diary...
Do you know anyone out there who drives the open road and might be looking for a co-pilot with soulful eyes and a heart full of hope? Maybe a solo trucker or someone in the hauling world who’d let me ride along and finally have a place where I belong. If you have connections, if you’ve got ideas where we can find someone like that—please reach out.

Let this be the entry before everything changes. Let this be the one that gets me out of the kennel and onto the open road.

With love,
Ghost 🐾
