Hey there! My name is Nico. I need some help sharing my story far and wide so I can FINALLY find this forever home I keep hearing about. Day after day I just keep hearing all the other dogs say, “Pick me! Pick me!” I’ve seen other dogs come and go, but no one ever seems to give me a chance. Some of the people that I see over and over again take me outside sometimes, but I always come back to the same kennel.
I admit, strangers can be a little scary at first, but what isn’t better with a couple treats? That’s all it takes to win me over.

A lot was changing before my family brought me here. I’m not sure why, but they were putting all of their belongings in boxes and my house looked emptier and emptier as the days went by. I never used the bathroom in my home, and I’m a jack of all trades if I do say so myself. I know tons of commands. sit, lay, outside, paw, other paw, get toy, go to bed… you name it! If I don’t know it, I am willing to learn in exchange for some treats. I met another dog one time and he seemed like a cool guy. I’ve also been around miniature people and they seemed fun!
Please, please, please help me find my forever home! If you think your home would be perfect for me, then stop by during adoption hours, Monday-Friday 11am-4pm and Saturday 10am-3pm.

Meet Rover — Charles County’s most mysterious traveler and part-time escape artist. 🕵️‍♂️🐶 For days, this 5-year-old hound zigzagged through backyards, fields, and probably a few cookouts before finally being outwitted by some clever Good Samaritans and Charles County Animal Control. No chip, no collar, no forwarding address — just vibes. If no one claims him soon, he’ll be looking for a forever home where the only thing he’ll be chasing is snacks and belly rubs. Let’s retire this road warrior and get him the comfy couch he deserves! 🛋️💕

🚨The Great Hound Escape - and Rescue! 🐾 This determined hound dog has been on quite the journey! Since Saturday, he has travelled all the way from Woodville Road in Brandywine, to the Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge in Newburg - covering miles of road and crossing major highways! 💨
Thanks to the teamwork between Charles County Animal Control, the Maryland Transportation Authority, and multiple citizens that have kept Animal Control informed of the k9s ever-changing location, this four-legged traveler was captured and brought to safety this morning, before any harm could come his way. 🐶🤩

This adventurous pup will be taken to the Charles County Animal Care Center where he will get some well-deserved rest, care and belly rubs. 🥰 If you recognize this traveling hound, please contact the Charles County Animal Care Center at 301-932-1713.
