Lulu’s Staycation Day 13! 💕🐾

Today was a play day for Miss Lulu! After her big adventure walk yesterday and another long stroll first thing this morning, she decided that the rest of the day was best spent being her goofy, wiggly self.

Lulu continues to learn the ins and outs of neighborhood life — bravely tolerating buses, scooters, bikes, and all the strange noises that come with them. And every time I walk through the door after work, she showers me with the sweetest kisses, like she’s welcoming me home after a year away.

She has officially declared the living room as her favorite spot in the house — comfy couches for lounging and a big window perfect for neighborhood surveillance. And she’s quickly figured out that living with a human who melts at puppy eyes has major perks… especially around mealtime.

This girl keeps getting braver, sillier, and more lovable every day. Stay tuned — Lulu’s staycation adventures continue! 🐶💛✨

Say hello to Chunk, Pie, and Rhubarb — the newest (and absolutely sweetest!) members of our rescue family! 🐶🥧💛

These three cuties are friendly, lovable, and already winning hearts left and right. Chunk brings the charm, Pie brings the snuggles, and Rhubarb brings the giggles — and all three are ready to find families of their very own.

If you’re interested in meeting them, or any of our adorable adoptable pups, please submit an application on our website. Their forever homes are out there… maybe it’s with you! 🐾✨

So many sweet faces waiting for you! ❤️🐾

🚿✨ LOTS of excitement at the rescue today! ✨🚿

If you heard barking, laughter, or the sound of power tools… don’t worry — it was just another wildly productive day at the Humane Society of Calvert County! 😄

Our friends Jeff and Josh from Dr. Kleen rolled up ready for action and power washed EVERYTHING — inside, outside, up, down, probably anything that wasn’t moving. The place is now so squeaky clean the pups are wondering if we’re prepping for royalty. 👑🐶

Then Dickie Walls from Wall's Plumbing swooped in like a pipe-saving superhero to make sure our drains were clean and flowing. We’re pretty sure even he was impressed by the amount of dog hair a single drain can bravely contain. 🚰😂

And for several days, our dear friend, volunteer, and supporter Dave has been hard at work rebuilding one of our outdoor runs — making it safe, sturdy, and comfortable for our pups. He has truly outdone himself, and the dogs are already loving their upgraded space! 🛠️🐕❤️

Meanwhile, our amazing volunteers — both our beloved regulars and some awesome new faces — were out walking pups, handing out cuddles, and keeping tails wagging all day long. 🐕💕

All of this was done out of the goodness of their hearts, and we couldn’t be more grateful. These wonderful humans (and a whole lot of happy dogs) made today something special.

Thank you all for your kindness, your time, and your love for our rescue pups! 🐾💛

🎉 Adoption Update! 🎉

Well… this wonderful couple did it again! 🥰 They’ve always had two chihuahuas, and now — once again — they have two chihuahuas. After welcoming sweet Miss Olive into their home, they decided their hearts (and laps!) had room for one more… adorable Bolt!

Bolt zipped his way right into their lives and never looked back. 🐾⚡️

A huge thank you to the McIntosh family for fostering Bolt and loving him until he found his forever home. We are so grateful for you! ❤️

Congratulations, Bolt, on finding your happily-ever-after — and congratulations to this amazing family for completing their perfect pair once again! 💛🏡🐶

Happy tails all around!

🌟 Lulu’s Staycation: Day 12! 🌟

Lulu had such a good day today! It was the first workday where her foster mom couldn’t come home at lunch, leave early, or work from home — and this smart, wonderful girl handled it like a champ. 🏆🐶 Not a single accident!

After work, they went for a long walk and Lulu was braver than ever. She ventured farther than she’s ever gone before, marched confidently past a very suspicious couch left out for trash day, and even powered through the terrifying roar of a leaf blower. Big fears conquered by a big-hearted girl! 💪🍂

No pics from today, but don’t worry — here’s a pup cup video for good measure, because every Lulu update deserves a little sweetness. 🐾💛

This girl continues to impress us every day. She’s smart, brave, and so ready to find the forever family who will cheer her on through all of life’s adventures.

🌞 Lulu’s Staycation: Day 11! 🌙

While her foster mom was at work today, Miss Lulu stuck to her usual routine: a perfect balance of power naps and neighborhood watch. 👀💤 She takes both jobs very seriously… especially the napping part.

After work, they enjoyed a lovely walk — and let’s just say Lulu is fully committed to water-based adventures. 💦 She has tried to pull her foster mom into every puddle, creek, and pond they walked past, so once the warm weather comes back, we think a swimming pool date is definitely in her future!

At the park, Lulu even found a “treasure” — a leftover rib from someone’s weekend BBQ. 🍖🤦‍♀️ She was such a polite lady when she took it from her, though she's pretty sure Lulu thought it was the highlight of her day.

After dinner, she played with her toys like the happy girl she is… and now? It’s time for her evening nap, because being this adorable is a full-time job. 🐶💛

Lulu continues to be the sweetest, silliest girl — and she can’t wait to find her forever home where every day feels like staycation. 💕

🌟 🐾 Meet Tonto — Your Dog of the Week! 🐾 🌟

If you’ve been looking for a reason to smile today… here he is.
Tonto is a 3-year-old, 25-pound French Bulldog/Beagle mix with the cutest wiggle butt this side of the Chesapeake — seriously, this boy’s backend has moves Beyoncé would applaud. 💃🐶

Friendly? Absolutely.
Playful? You bet.
Able to turn any bad day into a good one with one head tilt? Without question.

Tonto loves his walks, loves playing fetch, and loves making new friends. He’s the perfect mix of “let’s go on an adventure!” and “let’s cuddle after.” Plus, he’s compact enough to fit perfectly in your lap… or on your couch… or in your heart. 💛

✨ Extra exciting news!
Tonto’s adoption fee will be sponsored by our amazing friends at Prince Frederick Chrysler Jeep Dodge! 🚗🐾 That means this little superstar is ready to wiggle his way into your life with zero adoption fee.

If you’re ready for daily wiggles, endless smiles, and a whole lot of fun, Tonto might just be your guy!
