Wrapping paper bloopers starring… BRONCO! 🎁

Meet Bronco, a 4-year-old Husky mix who absolutely stole the show during our wrapping paper photoshoot — mostly because he could NOT contain his excitement 😅

Bronco is the definition of friendly, outgoing, and full of energy. He loves attention, greets everyone like a long-lost best friend, and thinks snow zoomies are a professional sport.

✨ Bronco at a glance:
• Super social & very friendly with people
• LOVES affection and being handled
• Knows sit (good boy alert 🚨)
• Enjoys walks but is a medium puller on leash
• Very house trained
• Snow = instant happiness

Because Bronco is still learning his manners, he can be easily excitable, jumpy, and mouthy. For that reason, we’re recommending:
🚫 No cats
🚫 No young children

Adoption fees are waived so come meet him and see these bloopers in real life 12-5pm (arrive by 4:30) at 13800 Manor Road in Baldwin!

"We love our bonded pair!" ❤😸

This family got double the love when they adopted Dorothy and Toto, fka known as Daisy and Davy Jones. We love seeing bonded pairs getting to stick together in their new homes!

"It did take an almost a full week in shutdown for Toto, the male tabby, to come out of his shell. He is the more cautious one in new situations. His name reflects his first 4 days spent in hiding behind the toilet, an American Standard, so we just thought the Toto brand had a better ring to it.

Now he is out of his shell and even more loving and playful than his sister. It is such a joy to have them around the house. They are either napping peacefully together, or tag team running, playing, or boxing with each other.

Truly, Dorothy and Toto are warm our hearts. They are a great pair of house cats." -Dorothy and Toto's adopter

We really should’ve known better than to put up a “DO NOT TOUCH” sign with a mischievous elf on the loose… 😅

Biscuit O’Tinseltoes has struck again and is very interested in this mysterious button.
What do we think it controls?
🎄 Snow machines?
🚨 Adoption confetti cannons?
🐾 Unlimited treats?

One thing’s for sure — if Biscuit’s pressing it, chaos (and cuteness) is about to follow.

Did you catch Reynolds on WJZ-TV | CBS Baltimore this morning? 📺✨ Because this princess absolutely nailed it.

With her stunning merle coat and that adorable blue speck in her eye, Reynolds is a true head-turner — and her manners match her looks. She was calm, friendly, and proudly showed off her sit and paw like a total pro.

Reynolds is 2.5 years old and got her memorable name after a very memorable rescue. She was brought to a local pet ER as a stray after likely helping herself to a Thanksgiving turkey carcass — Reynolds Wrap and all. 😬🦃 Thankfully, she’s now fully recovered, healthy, and ready for a fresh start (with a strict no-leftovers policy going forward).

Important notes:
• Loves people, playtime, and affection
• Looking for an active, fun-loving family
• Strong puller on leash, doing well with training
• Best as the only dog in the home

Adoption fees are waived so come meet her 12-5pm (arrive by 4:30) at 13800 Manor Road in Baldwin!

Sweet Seven sent us an update from his new family! There's no shortage of laughs and love in his new home, the photos speak for themselves. 🥰🐾

"Seven has been such a bright light in our lives! He is so cuddly and loving and the best work from home buddy. He loves being able to run free and get his zoomies out at the park and our family’s yard. He’s best friends and very gentle with our three year old niece who calls him Sevvy. My boyfriend and I are so so lucky to have been able to adopt Seven!

Thank you for all that you do at the shelter and for bringing us the sweetest dog in the world!!"- Seven's adopter

Our elf on the shelf decided a human sELFie station wasn’t enough… so he brought the festive fun straight to our adoptable cats! 📸

Meet Seraphina — a 2-year-old sweetheart who loves people, playtime, and soaking up attention. She’s social, silly, and always ready to charm anyone who stops by her kennel (especially when festive props are involved 😉).

💙Blue is a perfect example of why fostering is important!

8-month-old Blue was surrendered when his owner could no longer care for him, and he arrived at the shelter shy, under the weather, and unsure of himself. Thanks to a wonderful foster, he’s now healthy, relaxed, and showing his true personality.

Blue is a low-energy, well-mannered boy who loves cozy hiding spots, soft blankets, and curling up with his favorite people. Once he trusts you, he leans in for pets, gives adorable head boops, and might even offer a tiny “love bite” to show affection.

He previously lived with multiple other cats and did great, making him an excellent fit for a calm, multi-cat home.

If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive companion who just needs a little patience and a lot of love, Blue might be your perfect match. Email [email protected] to meet him!

‼️We have 27 stray animals currently in our care!

If you’re missing your pet, check our ‘Lost Pets’ page (link in comments).

We would LOVE to reunite them with their families💕

We are the only shelter required to accept lost animals found in Baltimore County to alleviate the stress of having to look for your missing pet in more than one place.

Every animal that comes into our care is scanned for a microchip, evaluated and vaccinated by medical staff and given any necessary treatment, as well as appropriate housing and care for their species. Animals that are not redeemed by an owner after 3 days will be evaluated to determine the best placement for them.

If you are the owner of any lost pet in our care, please call us at 410-887-7297.
