Laney decided to take a dip in the frog pond during duck time tonight.

I can't believe this sweet girl is still available for adoption.

Laney is a 1 yr old 11 lb mini poodle. Her previous owner spent big money to buy her from a breeder last year. Then spent thousands of dollars for surgery to correct a genetic disorder that prevented her from using her hind legs. She has fully recovered & enjoys running & playing. She was surrendered after her owner passed away.

Laney is spayed, vaccinated & microchipped. Her 4dx bloodwork was all negative for any tick & mosquito type diseases. She has done well with the other small dogs in rescue. She does bark at the cat in a playful manner.

Laney is available through Humphrey House in Harford County Maryland. Send me a message to arrange a meeting. Thank you!

We currently have quite the playful crew at Humphrey House 😍

Laney: 1 yr old 11 lb mini poodle. It's hard to believe she had double leg surgery in March due to a genetic defect. She wasn't able to use her hind legs until surgery. Look at her now!

Maxx: 3 yr old 8 lb chiweenie. Such a playful, high energy little guy. Pending Adoption

Ricky: The new guy... More on him soon.

Laney & Maxx are currently available for adoption. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines & microchipped. Their bloodwork was all good.

🚨Stage 5 clinger alert 🚨

Welcome Laney to Humphrey House.

If you're looking for a constant companion that will follow you everywhere, Laney is the girl for you 🤗

Laney is a very sweet 11 lb miniature poodle that turned 1 yr old on April 5th 2024. She was surrendered with her sister after their owner felt that they had to many dogs. They felt the sisters would do better in a home that could give them more attention. Laneys sister went to another local rescue & was immediately adopted. They are not bonded & the owner felt they would do better in separate homes anyways.

Laney had a genetic disorder that prevented her from using her hind legs. Her previous owner spent thousands for surgery so she could walk again 💗 Laney is fully recovered and walking great. Due to her previous condition, she never really learned how to walk on a leash, but she wants to stay by your side at all times anyways.

Laney is fully vetted. Spayed, current on vaccines & microchipped. Her 4dx test was negative. She has done well with the other small dogs in rescue. She is not a fan of big dogs. Although she is young, she is low energy & prefers a calm household.

I'm sure you're tired of seeing the same dogs posted over & over, but here they are. Again. The same dogs that have been waiting months & even years for a home. We need to focus on getting our current fosters adopted before our next intake arrives (a 1 yr old mini poodle) So here they are... Again 🙃

Lita: (Adopted) you have seen her the most. She has been waiting over 3 years for a home. She is a nervous girl that needs a fenced yard. Loud noises send her running to her crate. It's her safe space. She has done well with dogs her size or larger, cats & even our ducks. No tiny dogs or small critters such as rabbits, ferrets, etc. She has a strong prey drive & must be fed separately from other animals. She eats & sleeps in her crate. Lita is around 8 yrs old & weighs 24 lbs.

Khloe: (Adopted) a 10 yr old, 5 lb chi. Khloe can be skittish with new people. She has a history of seizures that tend to be caused by stress. Gabapentin has helped and she hasn't had a seizure in a few weeks. She has been fine with the other small dogs & cat in rescue. She likes her personal space and doesn't like energetic dogs invading her space. Khloe had an eye removed before arriving into rescue.

Maxx: (Pending Adoption) a 3 yr old, 8 lb chiweenie. Maxx is a typical high energy pup. He has done well with the other dogs & cat in rescue. He is very sweet but will often bark to alert you of stranger danger. He is very excited to go outdoors and will run outside whether you're ready or not. We are currently working on his door manners.

Daisy: (Adopted) a 7 yr old, 20 lb Chug. Daisy is very sweet & seems to love everyone. Especially if you have treats 😂 Daisy has done well with the other dogs & cat in her foster home. Although she is an active girl that enjoys being outside, we have to limit her activities or she could irritate the pinched nerve in her neck. Luckily she has not needed pain meds in months. No further treatment is needed.

Peanut: 10 yr old, 9 lb chi. Peanut is a very special case. She is a happy girl that enjoys being outside. You just can't touch her or pick her up or she will bite. She will gladly accept treats from my hand and even whines for me to tuck her in bed at night. She just doesn't want to be touched. She would settle into a home nicely as long as she is not pushed. She needs to feel comfortable at her own pace.

Humphrey House is located in Harford County Md for meetings. All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped & 4dx negative. Send us a message to arrange a meeting. Thank you!

A little adoption update on this beautiful Saturday morning....

Max came to Humphrey House in 2020 from the Humane Society of Wicomico County in Salisbury Maryland. He was transferred to us due to his behavior. He had bitten several people due to food aggression. He needed training & a very special adopter.

After several months in rescue, he found exactly what he needed. His adopter was so committed that she traveled all the way from Bloomington Indiana just to meet him 😍

Here's an update from his adopter...

"Hey there!
This is sort of out of the blue and several years have passed since I last was in contact with you guys, but I wanted to offer an update on a dog I received from you back on October 20, 2020.
I got Max almost four years back now and he’s completely changed to a sweet and loving little man! Adopting him from you was one of the best decisions I’ve made. He’s now living out his still very energetic life with me in Budapest, Hungary and loving every second of it.
Just wanted to offer the update because I know he was such a problem dog, but he’s very loved and living happily. I attached a couple pics of him to show what a distinguished little gentleman he’s turned out to be.
Thank you for changing his life and mine!"

No... Thank YOU for taking a chance on this deserving little guy! These scared homeless animals can't get anywhere without our special adopters 🤗

This timid little boy has traveled from a shelter on the eastern shore of Md to rescue in Baltimore Md to a home in Bloomington Indiana and is now living an amazing life in Budapest Hungary. What an amazing update 😍

(Max was his shelter name. We called him Benji in rescue)

🎉🎉🎉Happy Birthday Maxx 🎉🎉🎉

Our sweet little chiweenie boy turned 3 years old today & is officially ready for a new home.

He did great for his neuter surgery yesterday. He also had a baby tooth extracted. He is recovering nicely & doesn't even seem to know that he had surgery.

Maxx is a very sweet & playful 8 lb pup. He is a bit of a door-dasher. I'm not referring to the ones that deliver your take-out orders. I mean he loves being outside & will dash out of the door any chance he gets. We are working on manners but he will need continued training.

Maxx is neutered, current on vaccines & microchipped. His bloodwork was all good. He has been great with the other dogs & cat in rescue. No young children that may accidentally open the door as he will run.

Welcome Maxx to Humphrey House.

Maxx was surrendered a few weeks ago due to his owner moving and not being able to bring their pets 😞

Maxx is an 8 lb chiweenie that will be 3 years old on Wednesday July 17th. As an early Birthday present, he is being neutered on the 16th 😂🎉

Of coarse we couldn't get away with just basic vetting, even in such a young pup. He also needs a dental to remove a baby tooth 😭

Maxx has been one of the sweetest chi's we have had in rescue. He has a great balance of playful & chill. He loves being outside but enjoys cuddle time just as much. He has been great with the older senior dogs in rescue & our resident senior cat. He can be a little mouthy when excited, so no young fragile hands.

Maxx saw our vet yesterday & was loved by all. He was vaccinated & had bloodwork in preparation for his surgery on Tuesday. After a short recovery, he will be ready for a loving home.

Noon update: Khloe is out of surgery. She had all of her teeth removed except her 2 lower canine teeth. She was also spayed & had the mammary lumps removed. I will pick her up later this afternoon with a fentanyl patch for her pain & most likely an antibiotic for any dental infection. Thank you for your kind thoughts & prayers for this sweet little girl 💗

Please keep Khloe in your thoughts & prayers today as she goes under anesthesia for multiple procedures. This 10 yr old, 5 lb chi is having a dental with multiple extractions expected & having some small mammary tumors removed. Our vet will also try to figure out if she is spayed. If not, she will have that done too.

THANK YOU for all the donations towards todays procedures. We had a total of 1,476 donated between Pay Pal, Venmo, cash, checks & our facebook fundraiser. We won't know the exact total for today until we know if she needed to be spayed. If we have any funds left, it will go towards our newest foster Maxx. A sweet 3 yr old, 6 lb chiweenie that needs the works... Neuter, microchip, vaccines, bloodwork & exam.

In addition to monetary donations, we were also blessed with multiple cases of canned food, p*e pads, shampoo & treats. The foster dogs & I are truly grateful for your generosity 💗

Stay tuned for updates on Khloe as she recovers from her surgeries and starts looking for a loving home. Anyone interested should be aware that Khloe does tend to have seizures on occasion. She currently takes gabapentin for the seizures since they seem to be stress induced.

Humphrey House is located in Abingdon Maryland for meetings. Please send us a message to meet any of our available fosters.

Arguably one of the hardest parts of rescue. Begging for donations 😞 I just wanna save dogs 😭

Khloe was recently surrendered to our rescue due to young children moving into their home. Being a small, fragile senior that is missing an eye, limiting her vision on one side, small children make her nervous.

Khloe has severe dental disease & a couple of small mammary tumors that need to be removed. She is scheduled for surgery on July 9th. Our vet will also try to figure out if Khloe is spayed yet. If not, they will also spay her. That's a lot of work at once on a 5 lb senior chi that tends to have seizures when stressed 😢

The rescue currently has about half the cost of her surgery. Not only do we need to raise several hundred more dollars, but we also need supplies to keep our fosters happy & healthy.

Each month our fosters go through 30 pounds of dry food, 60 cans of wet food & endless amounts of treats & chew sticks. We can really use donations so we can conserve our funds for Khloes upcoming surgeries.

We have several options for accepting donations...

Vinny was such a character at the vet today 😂 He had an exam, vaccines, microchip & bloodwork. He is already neutered & ready for his next adventure in life

Vinny is a 4 yr old, 8 lb long haired chi (currently shaved for the summer)

He has done well with the other small dogs in rescue but does like to hog all of the attention. No young children. He takes a little time to warm up to people. Treats definitely help the process. He is still working on house training but loves being outside running zoomies.

Humphrey House is located in Harford county Md for meetings. Send us a message to meet this handsome fellow. Thank you

Khloe, also pictured, will be available after further vetting. She is a 10 yr old, 5 lb chi. We need to figure out if she is spayed, probably needs a dental & we need to monitor her for seizures. Stay tuned for updates.

Welcome Khloe to Humphrey House.

Khloe is a 10 yr old, 5 lb female chi.

Khloe was originally found in an abandoned apartment in Georgia a few years ago before being rescued & brought to Maryland. She was already missing an eye, so we have no idea what happened to her.

Khloe was recently surrendered to us by her rescuer due to young kids moving into their home. She does not like the stressful energy of small children & was being nippy with them.

Khloe has a typical chi personality. She takes a few minutes to warm up but once she trusts you, she is a total lap dog. She has done well with the other small dogs in rescue and really enjoys being outside lounging in the sun.

Khloe will be available for adoption as soon as we complete her vetting. We need to figure out if she is spayed, give her vaccines, a microchip & have bloodwork done. Her previous owner mentioned that Khloe had a seizure about 2 yrs ago when going to the vet. They believe it was stress induced. Khloe did have a small seizure the day after she arrived at Humphrey House but has been fine since. We will certainly discuss options with our vet but I don't believe it to be a regular occurrence.

Humphrey House is located in Harford County Maryland for meetings. Feel free to send us a message for more information. Thank you!

Vinny has a typical chi personality. He takes a few minutes to warm up but once he trusts you, he is a total lap dog. He has done well with the other small dogs in rescue and really enjoys being outside. He can be high energy & will need an active home to keep him happy.

It's spay day for Daisy 🤗

This 7 yr old, 21 lb chug is still looking for a loving home.

Daisy is a happy energetic girl that loves being outside. She has degenerative disk disease & a pinched nerve in her neck so we try to limit her activity. She is doing well with just an occasional medication for pain.

Daisy is being fostered in Harford county Md for meetings. Send us a message for more info or to meet this sweet girl. Thank you!

Adopted..... Diego

Diego wants you to know that just because he needs to limit his activity due to a slightly enlarged heart, he can still have fun playing outdoors. He enjoys being pushed in a stroller or even riding around town catching bad guys in his little police car 🚓

Diego is a 10 yr old 9 lb male chi. He is neutered, chipped & current on vaccines. He takes a pill for his heart twice a day. He also has a cough due to a collapsing trachea. He has done well with the other small dogs in rescue but he doesn't like them trying to steal his food. I don't blame him.

Diego is being fostered in Harford county Md. Call or send us a message to arrange a meeting. Thank you!

Looking for a loving home to live out his life... Diego 💗🐾🐶 Adopted!

Diego is a 10 yr old, 9 lb male Chi that was surrendered after his owner passed away.

Diego has a slightly enlarged heart which he takes a pill twice a day for. We can't "fix" his heart but the meds should stop it from getting worse. The bigger issue seems to be his collapsing trachea. His enlarged heart pushes on his trachea causing a horrible cough. It gets worse anytime he gets excited so he needs a quiet, calm retirement home.

Diego is such a sweet, happy boy that wants nothing but to be by your side. He is the only foster that sleeps in my bed with me & my personal dogs.

I don't know if Diego is a hospice case. He should have at least another 6 months of a good life. He may even last a year or two. No matter how long he has, this precious boy deserves all the love you can give.

Diego is neutered, microchipped & current on vaccines. For now he has about a 2 month supply of his heart medication. He has been great with the other dogs & cat in rescue. He enjoys barking at the ducks 😂🦆

ADOPTED
Paco has come a long way in the 2 months he's been at Humphrey House.

At 10 years old, he had only been outside once in his life. ONE TIME in 10 years 😥 His previous owner is in a wheelchair & was unable to take him & his siblings outside safely. They were kept inside at all times, in puppy pens, with potty pads. Three of the five dogs had to find placement when the owner was moving and could only take 2 dogs with her. Pacos dad & one brother.

For the last 2 months, I carried Paco outside occasionally but he would just sit there in fear. I didn't push. I figured when he's ready, he can move at his own pace.

Well, yesterday, he was ready! 😍 We started with a "walk" in the stroller. First with my personal dogs, then with our foster Diego. When we were done, I took him out of the stroller to go inside but to my surprise, Paco ran for the yard!!! After a few minutes, he sat in the middle of the yard and just took in all the beauty around him 💗 It was such a nice day, he didn't want to go inside. Neither did I 😂

Paco is a 10 yr old male pom-chi that weighs 11 pounds. Paco is neutered, chipped, current on vaccines & had a dental last month with 11 extractions. He is a very sweet boy that loves attention. He is not house trained. He uses potty pads. He has done well with the other dogs & cat in his foster home.

Yesterday morning started out really rough for sweet little Daisy 🌼 I was giving up hope.

All of the sudden, the grey clouds parted and the heavens above started to shine down on Humphrey House 🌞 We quickly realized it was the perfect day for a cookout 😃 It didn't take long for Daisy to smell the burgers & chicken cooking on the grill. She started to wag her tail, smile & even tried to play with Taco 😁 Suddenly, all was right in the world 🌎

Daisy is a 7 yr old, 20 lb Chug (pug/chi mix) She is so sweet with a heart of gold. Due to her condition & being so depressed, we would love to get her into a loving home as quick as possible. I truly believe that the more comfortable she becomes at Humphrey House, the harder it will be for her to leave once adopted. She lost one home already. I don't want her to feel like she's losing another.

Daisy has been diagnosed with disk disease & pinched nerves in her neck. She will need to continue taking Gabapentin for pain. Other remedies such as a heating blanket, massage, Reiki or acupuncture could also be beneficial. Daisy LOVES being outside and exploring. Her new family will need to balance her getting exercise but not over doing it causing pain.

When it comes to chronic pain, you take the good with the bad. Hopefully, with pain management, this sweet little girl can start having more good days than bad 🙏

This girl is breaking my heart 💔
Every time we go outside, she goes straight to the gate and just stands there. The gate where she last saw her owner disappear from 😞

I saw a slight improvement yesterday. She could lift her head & was eating. This morning is taking a turn for the worse. Back to not lifting her head, trembling in pain & not eating. Her back & neck hurt & her heart is broken. I'm scared she's giving up 😭 It's not fair. This is suppose to be her new beginning.

Thank you so much for all the thoughts, prayers & donations. I truly appreciate everyones support. Please continue to keep her in your prayers 🙏

Welcome Daisy to Humphrey House.

I must start this post with some personal info.
For the last several weeks, I have been dealing with severe neck & back pain. An x-ray showed chronic degenerative disk disease. An MRI showed bulging disks & a pinched nerve along with some other big words I don't quite understand. What I do know for certain is that it causes severe pain. It's to the point that I literally just told my Dr a few weeks ago that if any of my dogs were ever in this much pain, I would put them to sleep. No one deserves to live with such horrible chronic pain. I promise that this part will become relevant shortly.

Fast forward to Sunday evening...
I received a call from a very distraught owner wanting to surrender his dog. He stated the reason was that he couldn't afford vet care. He didn't have a diagnosis but his Daisy, which has been with him since she was 3 months old, would occasionally pant. She was due for her annual check up and he just couldn't afford it. I offered help to keep her in the home she loves but he was set on surrendering her. 30 minutes later, he was at my door dropping her off.

Daisy was a very sweet girl during the surrender process. She really enjoyed walking around the yard. Once inside, she was given a room to herself to decompress. It was late and I'm sure she was tired.

All day Monday, she barely wanted to move. She would sit in one spot for hours, staring at the wall. Never lifting her head. I thought she was understandably depressed at losing her home.

Tuesday, she started panting, drooling & trembling. She was in obvious distress. Between not being spayed & having a big belly, I thought maybe she was pregnant & in labor or had pyometra, a life threatening infection of the uterus. I was way off.

Tuesday afternoon we rushed to the vet for an emergency visit. The first thing they noticed was that she wasn't lifting her head. They started with X-rays. Quickly they noticed the same degenerative disk disease & pinched nerve(s) that I have been dealing with for weeks. This poor girl is in soooo much pain 😭

To make things worse, there is the possibility of a spinal tumor pushing on the spine. An x-ray could not verify. Only an MRI could. Between the cost of an MRI (About 5k) and the fact that IF it's a tumor, nothing can be done, we have decided against putting her through an MRI. Our goal for now is keeping her comfortable.

Daisy currently has a fentanyl patch that will last a few days. She is also taking Metacam for inflammation & Gabapentin for pain. We will see how she responds and do our best to evaluate her quality of life. I absolutely will NOT let her suffer.

Through all her pain, literally screaming in agony during her x-ray, this 7 yr old Chug is still the sweetest little girl, wagging her tail at the vet. All she wants is to love & be loved 💗

Now, here's where YOU can help. Last months dental for Paco wiped us out financially. We received 2 donations a few weeks ago towards Diegos emergency visit & X-rays for his enlarged heart & collapsing trachea. We are still 400 short from Diego & now the visit last night for Daisy was another 560. We can really use your donations.

Welcome Diego to Humphrey House.

Diego was surrendered after his lifelong owner passed away. Diego was incredibly depressed but is slowly learning he is safe.

Upon surrender by a family member, it was mentioned that Diego may be in heart failure. He has a horrible cough which could be related. His cough was bad enough that it required an urgent visit to our vet last night.

Upon initial triage, the vet did notice what seemed to be a heart issue. After X-rays, they could see that his heart is mildly enlarged. The bigger issue is a collapsing trachea. With even a mildly enlarged heart, it is pushing against his trachea making his cough worse.

Diego has been started on Vetmedin for his heart. Although we cannot fix damage already done, we can stop it from getting worse. We are also using cbd oil to help relax his trachea. With meds, he is expected to live a normal life span (up to a few more years)

Diego is a 10 yr old, 9 lb male Chihuahua that was born on Halloween day of 2013. He has done well with the other small dogs in rescue but does not like larger dogs. He is a typical chi that takes a few minutes to warm up. Once he knows you are his person, he is a sweet boy that wants to be by your side at all times.

Diego is neutered, microchipped & current on vaccines. He will be due again for vaccines this April. He will need to stay on his meds for the rest of his life. He currently takes his pill twice a day. The cost from our vet was 78.50 for 50 pills but could be cheaper elsewhere.

We could really use your support to cover last nights vet visit. A copy of the receipt is in the photos. Donations can be sent through Pay Pal or Venmo. If you prefer to mail a donation, just let me know & I will give you the address.
