Shared from our friends at Baypath Humane Society: Please share to help find Arlo find his forever home 🏡

🐶Dog experience needed
🐶I am Shy
🐶I need a dog in my home!
🐶Prefer to live with teens and older
🐶Shy dog experience needed

Arlo is the sweetest boy who is looking for a patient family to help him blossom into the best boy he can be. Arlo didn't have the easiest start, so he finds the world a little scary and is looking for a loving, dog-experienced family to light up his world.

Here is what Arlo is wishing for this holiday season:
- A fenced in yard where he can learn to walk on a leash!
- A confident dog sibling to help show him how nice people can be
- Teenagers or older in the home because kids are still a bit scary
- An owner with dog experience who is open to doing training and socialization to help him on his journey.

Arlo loves zooming around outside with his friends. Arlo does the cutest dance with his front paws up in the air when he's excited. He also loves to give kisses to those he knows.

If you think you could help Arlo, please reach out today!

Meet Seven, a 12 year old Bichon Frise who recently came in for his senior wellness exam. He still looks like a young pup, doesn't he? 💖

Shared from our friends at Baypath Humane Society- please share to help Biscuit find a home for the holidays! 🎄🏠

Biscuit is almost a year old, what a big boy! Although he sees himself as all grown up (going on fun adventures, wrestling with his dog friends, going on walks), he is still a puppy so still has a thing or two to learn. Biscuit would love to learn lots of fun puppy tricks and most importantly, what it's like to have a family.

Biscuit is looking for his new family and hoping to find one in time for Christmas! He would love a home with older children and another dog sibling. Biscuit can't wait to find an active family who has the time to teach him the ropes.

If you think Biscuit is the little treat you've been missing in your life, please reach out today!

Shared from our friends at Baypath Humane Society- Please share to help Barbie find a home for the holidays! 🎄

Hello, I'm Barbie! I'm a fun-loving feline who adores a good game of chase with wand toys. I've got a tale to tell, a magical one at that. One day, while napping by my beloved scratching post, a gust of catnip-infused wind swept me away to this shelter. It was a surprise, but I've made the best of it, using my charm and playfulness to brighten everyone's day. I'm as loyal as they come, always ready for a cuddle or a laugh. I'd love to bring my magic into your life. Adopt me, and let's create our own enchanting story together.
