💔 Please don’t scroll past Tank. He needs someone now. 💔

Tank is only 2 years old and weighs 54 pounds, and right now he’s doing his best to stay hopeful. He is currently in a foster home, but Tank needs a quieter space — either a home without other dogs or with one calm, compatible dog who matches his personality.

Tank is the kind of dog who melts into your chest during snuggles, rests his head under your chin, and makes you feel like the most important person in the world. He is affectionate, playful, housetrained, crate-trained, dog-friendly, and absolutely devoted to people.

Recently, Tank was diagnosed with an enlarged heart. While this means his activity level needs to be monitored, it does not stop him from living a joyful, love-filled life. He still lights up for toys, gentle fetch, tug-of-war, and simply being by your side. Thunderstorms, vacuums, fireworks — none of them bother him. Tank is brave, resilient, and full of heart in every sense of the word.

Right now, what Tank needs most is stability — a foster or adopter who can give him a calmer environment where he can truly relax and thrive. Without someone stepping forward, his future remains heartbreakingly uncertain.

Tank has already shown us how much love he has left to give. All he needs is a chance — a home where he can be safe, cared for, and adored.

Please don’t look away. Tank is waiting for his miracle.
Could you be the one he’s hoping for? 🤍

Tank doesn’t need perfection — he just needs someone. 🐾💔

Hi there, my name is Lucy! I’m a 4-year-old, spayed girl weighing about 60 lbs, and I’d be best described as medium energy. I recently joined my current family, and while they love me very much, we’ve learned that I would truly shine as the only dog in the home. Because they want what’s safest and happiest for everyone involved (including me!), they’re working hard—alongside a rescue and with lots of love—to help me find the perfect forever situation.

Let me tell you a little about myself! I’m very friendly with people and absolutely adore human companionship. I’m house-trained, walk nicely on a leash, know my basic commands, and I’m very food-motivated (treats are definitely the way to my heart!). I’m affectionate, eager to please, and would love nothing more than being your loyal sidekick.

As for my energy level, I get adorable zoomies for a couple of minutes after bathroom breaks, then I’m happy to settle right back in for naps. I’m perfectly content spending most of the day snoozing, relaxing, and watching the world go by outside the window. I’m also not aware of any current medical issues.

While I’ve lived with other dogs in the past—including both boys and girls and even sharing cozy spaces—we’ve learned that I feel most comfortable and secure when I don’t have to share my home with another pet. An only-dog home would help me feel confident, relaxed, and truly at my best. My family is committed to keeping me safe and happy and is willing to foster me for as long as needed while a rescue helps find my forever home.

They’re especially hoping to avoid me ever going back to a shelter, because they believe—just like I do—that I deserve a bright future full of love.

If you think I might be the perfect fit for your home, or if you’re part of a rescue that can help, please reach out to [email protected]

Thank you so much for reading my story and helping me take the next step toward my happily ever after. 💕🐾

🖤🐾 Truffle is SAFE. 🐾🖤

Today was Truffle’s deadline at BARCS—but because of your support, AAHA Rescue was able to pull her to safety just in time. She now has a fighting chance, but her journey isn’t over yet. Truffle needs lifesaving heart surgery to get healthy.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has already donated and to her amazing foster for organizing the fundraiser ❤️ The total raised so far is on the low end of the estimated cost, and we still have a bit to go to make sure Truffle gets the care she needs.

Thank you for showing up for her. Every share, every dollar, every bit of love matters. Let’s keep going for Truffle. 🐶✨

“Okay, Glimmet… you are handsome. You are brave. You do not chase squirrels inside. You sit for treats. You are a VERY good boy.”

Meet Glimmet, 71 lbs of confidence-building affirmations and wiggly charm. At just over 2½ years old, this goofy, lovable guy is currently thriving in foster care and practicing his mirror speeches while he waits for someone to fall completely in love with him (spoiler alert: it’ll be fast).

✨ What Glimmet brings to the table:
✔ House & crate trained (responsible king)
✔ Knows his toys vs. your stuff (non-destructive legend)
✔ Medium energy — two good walks a day and he’s golden
✔ Walks calmly on leash and listens like he’s taking notes
✔ Treat-motivated, eager to please, and VERY into learning
✔ Loves rope toys, squeaky toys, and pretending he’s a lapdog

💬 Things Glimmet is working on (said lovingly):
• Squirrels, birds, and rabbits are not coworkers
• Cats are a little too fascinating
• Sitting politely sometimes works better than enthusiasm

Glimmet is people-friendly, affectionate, great with kids 12+, and has the kind of joyful, curious personality that makes every day more entertaining. He can play hard, then snooze next to you like a professional couch assistant for hours.

He snacks responsibly (carrots! green beans!), gives enthusiastic kisses, and believes with his whole heart that 71 lbs absolutely counts as “lapdog energy.”

💙 Adopt Glimmet — because everyone deserves a dog who hypes himself up and you too. 🐾

URGENT courtesy post for pups at PG shelter with deadline of Tuesday, 1/13. Shelter is closed Sunday and Monday. New law does not go into effect until 2/2 where county residents can adopt the pitties. These dogs need out of county adopters or rescue.

🚨 URGENT: FIRST URGENT LIST OF 2026 🚨
Our first urgent list of the year is here — and there are so many great dogs on it! 22 dogs must leave the Prince George’s County Animal Shelter by Tuesday, January 13 at 7 PM.

As always, this list is heartbreaking - so many deserve a chance! We haven’t met them all yet, but so many seem wonderful. Friendly, hopeful, and waiting for someone to step up. 🐾

📸 This is just the initial collage.
We’ll be posting the full album with individual bios later tonight, so stay tuned and please keep sharing.

✨ A hopeful note for our community:
Many of you have been following the repeal of Breed-Specific Legislation (BSL) in PG County. According to a recent update from PG Pet Unity Project, the repeal is expected to go into effect around February 2, 2026. Change is coming — and advocacy works. 🩷

👉 If you can adopt, foster, rescue, pledge, or share, you can save a life.

Time is short, and every single action matters.
These dogs are at the Prince Georges County animal shelter in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

Thank you for showing up for these dogs — again and again. 💙🐶

Hi, I’m Elena 💕
I’m about 4 years old, 52 pounds, and I was saved from the PG County shelter. Right now, I’m safe in a foster home, learning what it feels like to be loved — and I’m pretty sure I was made for this whole family dog thing.

If you’re looking for a dog who wants to be right where you are, all the time, I think we might be a perfect match. Want to go for a long walk or a hike? I’m in. Want to curl up on the couch and watch movies? Even better — I make an excellent personal weighted blanket.

I love people more than anything, especially kids (all ages are great with me!), and I get along wonderfully with other dogs too. In my foster home, I live with two little human sisters (ages 1 and 4) and three dog brothers, and I fit right in. I’m gentle, affectionate, and happiest just being part of the pack.

I’m fully potty trained, crate trained, and I walk calmly on leash. I know a whole bunch of commands already — sit, stay, here, leave it, home, car, gentle, wait, and bed — and I really enjoy learning. Treats help, obviously. 😉

I love my toys, especially stuffies and butcher bones, and at this stage of life I’m the perfect mix of playful and chill. No puppy chaos here — just a sweet, cuddly girl who’s ready to settle into forever.

I’ve already had a big second chance… now I’m just waiting for you.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will stick by your side through everything, I think I could be your girl. 💖

Apply today and help me find my forever family. 🐾

🆘Final Plea- Sweet Girl Struggling Tremendously in Shelter- Needs URGENT Rescue! 🆘🆘🆘 Not available for adoption and cannot be fostered through the shelter.

Avery unfortunately is no stranger to our shelter as this is her second time here. Her original owner said she lived with other dogs, was housebroken and knows basic commands. Avery was surrendered because the owner was moving and was not allowed to have dogs in the new place. She was recently adopted but was unfortunately returned for destructive behavior in the home. She was reported to have separation anxiety; she was able to break out of the crate and cause some damage to blinds in the home.
At the shelter, she is shy with strangers and but shows positive interest in other dogs! She may do well in a home with a confident dog after an acclimation period & with proper introductions. She did warm up to people with time and enjoyed a good belly rub but now the shelter life is really taking a toll on her. She is increasingly stressed in her kennel, exhibiting severe leash biting and high arousal in short periods of time being hard to redirect in some instances. Avery is otherwise a sweet girl who is just having a really hard time at adjusting to life in the shelter.

Avery recently got a break from the shelter with a volunteer and they had nothing but good things to say about her. They reported she was great in the car and enjoyed a nice hike on a trail through the woods, with no instances of leash biting. Through the 3 mile hike she was a good girl and only was excited about seeing other dogs but easily redirected. She went back to their home to rest for a bit and was the volunteers shadow around the house before she found a cozy spot on the couch to rest on. She even chose to lay right on the volunteers lap at one point. They noted she would be a great companion and is overall a very nice dog.

As Avery’s notes show, she is a great dog who just is not adjusting to the shelter but who can blame her? Although Avery had positive home notes due to her overall behavioral profile we are hoping a rescue partner can pull her to ensure her behaviors are appropriately worked with.

Name: Avery
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Weight: 43.8lbs
Color: tan/white
Breed: mixed breed
Reason for Rescue: behavior
Health Concerns: none at this time

Behavior Concerns: nervous, history of severe separation anxiety, friendly once she warms, increasing stress in shelter environment, leash biting

Available for Adoption through BCAS: not at this time
Available for Foster through BCAS: not at this time

Please let us know if your organization can help! Avery is available for immediate rescue placement, please email [email protected] if your organization can help.
