A Holiday Letter from Mouse 🐾🎄

Dear Friend,

Hi there… my name is Mouse. I’m a 4-year-old, 60-lb good boy with a wagging tail and a heart that’s been waiting a long time for its forever home—especially now, when the holidays are so close.

I don’t remember much about my time in the shelter, but I know this: since I found my freedom, every day feels like a gift. My tail rarely stops wagging, and I try to show my gratitude with cuddles, gentle kisses, and quiet companionship. I’m a calm, happy guy who just loves being near my people.

Even though I’m not exactly small, I’m convinced I’m a lap dog. I’ll rest my head in your lap while you watch a movie, read a book, or work from home. I love curling up on the couch, the bed, or in my dog bed nearby—just close enough to know I belong. When it’s time to play, I’m always up for tug-of-war or entertaining myself with squeaky toys. And if you hand me a Kong with peanut butter or pumpkin? That’s pretty much the best thing ever.

I’m polite, housebroken, and know my basic commands—sit is my specialty. I wait patiently for my meals, take treats gently, and rarely bark (though I do keep a very watchful eye on the trash truck—it’s suspicious). On walks, I’m a great companion. I walk nicely on leash, check in with you often, and sometimes carry a toy the entire way just to make you smile.

This holiday season, my wish is simple.

I wish for a forever family.
A home where I can curl up near the twinkling lights.
A couch to snuggle on.
A heart to belong to.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, goofy best friend who will love you quietly and completely, I might be the one you’ve been dreaming of.

With hope and a gently wagging tail,
Mouse ❤️🐶

💔🎅🎄A Holiday Letter from Tank 🐾

Dear Friend,

Hi… my name is Tank. I’m a 54-lb, 2½-year-old pit bull with a big head, a bigger heart, and so much love to give. The holidays are getting closer, and I find myself hoping—really hoping—that I won’t have to spend them without a family to call my own.

Right now, I’m in a foster home, and I’m so grateful for the love and care I’ve been given. But I’m dreaming of a home with fewer dogs—or even being the only dog—where I can really shine and reach my full potential. I do best when I can soak up all the attention and focus on my people.

I’m the kind of dog who loves hard. I love people, toys (the tough kind—stuffies don’t stand a chance), and cuddling so close that I’ll climb right into your lap and rest my head under your chin. That’s my favorite place to be.

I’m house-trained, crate-trained, and I even let you sleep in. I love playing fetch (returning the ball is still a work in progress), tug-of-war, and being outside with my people. I’m fearless too—thunder, vacuums, fireworks? No problem. Lawn mowers, though… I might try to take one on if you’re not watching.

There’s something important you should know about me.

I have pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive lung condition. Even so, it hasn’t dimmed my spirit or my joy. It just means I need someone who understands that I’m a little special—and a lot worth it.

I don’t know how many holidays I’ll get.
I just know I don’t want to spend them waiting.

I’m looking for a new foster or forever home—one where I can be someone’s whole world, and they can be mine. If you have room in your heart for a dog who will love you fiercely and give back tenfold in affection, loyalty, and snuggles, I’m ready.

If you can’t open your home, please consider sharing my story. One share could be the miracle that gives me a warm, quiet place to land this holiday season.

With hope and a wagging tail,
Tank ❤️🐶

🎄🎅A Santa Letter from Glimmet 🐾

Dear Santa,

Hi! My name is Glimmet, and I’m a 71-lb, 2½-year-old good boy who is doing his very best to stay on the nice list this year. I live in a foster home right now, and they say I have the spirit of loving life—which I think is a pretty great thing to be known for.

I’ve been working hard on my manners. I’m house trained, crate trained, and I know my basic commands like sit, wait, stay, touch, and leave it. I walk calmly on a leash, don’t pull, and I try very hard to pay attention—even when squirrels and birds test my self-control (they’re very sneaky, Santa).

I love my toys—especially rope toys and squeaky ones—and I promise I only chew what belongs to me. When playtime is over, I’m perfectly happy to curl up beside you and snooze while you go about your day. Even though I’m a big guy, I consider myself a lapdog… settling there can take a little effort, but I’m committed.

This year, Santa, I don’t need much. I already enjoy crunchy carrots and green beans, belly rubs, walks, and kisses. My biggest wish—my one true Christmas wish—is a forever home.

A home with people who will take me on walks, laugh at my goofy moments, let me snuggle close, and love me for the curious, affectionate, eager-to-please dog I am. I’d do best with kids 12 and up, and probably without cats (I’m just too curious for my own good).

If someone out there is looking for a loyal companion, a walking buddy, a professional snuggler, and a dog who will love them with his whole heart… Santa, please help them find me.

With hope, wiggles, and lots of kisses,
Glimmet 🐶✨

🎄Secret Santa Letter from Honey 🐾

Dear Santa (and maybe my forever family too),

My name is Honey, and I’ve been trying very hard to stay on the nice list this year. I sit when I’m asked, walk politely on my leash, sleep in my crate like a good girl, and share my space kindly with kids and even cats. I’m only 2 years old, about 50 lbs, and my heart is already full of love—just waiting for the right people to give it to.

I don’t ask for much. I don’t need fancy lights or piles of presents. My biggest Christmas wish is something simple and very important to me:

✨ A forever home ✨

I dream about a family to cuddle with, kids (6+) to gently play beside, and daily walks where I can trot along proudly. I might be a little shy when we first meet, but once I know I’m safe, my playful, affectionate side shines through. I promise loyalty, tail wags, and endless love in return.

But Santa, if I’m allowed one thing for my wishlist this year—just one—it would be a treat puzzle 🧩🍪. I’m very treat-motivated, and a puzzle helps keep my busy brain entertained and keeps me out of a little mischief while I wait for my forever people to find me.

If you’re reading this and your heart feels a tug, maybe that’s me. I’m ready to be someone’s best gift this holiday season.

With hopeful eyes and a wagging tail,
Honey 🐶💛

14 dogs have no plan and will be euthanized if not adopted or rescue by TOMORROW, 12/16 at 7PM

🚨 12/16/25 URGENT LIST — 29 DOGS NEED OUT 🚨
This week’s list is heartbreakingly large — almost as big as the last two weeks combined.
Most are bully breeds who still cannot be adopted inside PG County until the new pilot begins in January 2026… but we are so close to lasting change that we cannot let them down now. ❤️‍🩹

That means this week we especially need:
👉 Out-of-county adopters
👉 Foster homes (through rescue groups)
👉 Responsible rescue partners

This community has already saved so many lives.
Let’s do it again — and help these dogs find safety for the holidays.
✨ We all deserve a little holiday magic. Let’s make it happen. 🐾
