🚨 12/23/25 URGENT LIST — 20 DOGS NEED OUT 🚨

🎅 Santa’s elves are working overtime, the sleigh bells are jingling, and we are really hoping there’s some holiday magic left to spare… because 20 incredible dogs need a miracle by Tuesday, December 23 at 7 PM.

✨ Just last week, this community pulled off something truly magical — 29 dogs found safety because of YOU. That kind of miracle proves what’s possible when people rally together, and we are holding onto that hope again today.

🎄 Good news to sprinkle in: at least 7 of these dogs are breeds that ARE adoptable within PG County, which means there are real opportunities for local adopters to step up right now.

🎨 Full transparency: You’ll notice some of the photos have simple holiday backgrounds added using AI. We made every effort to keep the dogs’ photos fully intact and unchanged — just a little seasonal cheer to help them stand out. 🎁 We’ll also try to post intake photos in the comments when available.

These dogs don’t need perfection — they need people willing to open their hearts during one of the hardest weeks of the year for shelters. 💔➡️❤️

⏰ Deadline: Tuesday, December 23 at 7 PM
Please arrive at least one hour before closing to meet a dog.

⚠️ Important Note About Terriers (BSL)
Due to current Breed-Specific Legislation, terrier-type dogs must be adopted or fostered outside PG County.
📄 Out-of-county adopters must bring two documents showing the same address.

🙌 GOOD NEWS!
On 11/18/25, PG County passed Bill 097-2025, launching a pilot that will finally allow terriers to be adopted/fostered within PG County starting January 2026! 🎉

🙋‍♀️ FAQs
• Why so many urgent dogs? Overcrowding + BSL restrictions. Shelter space is extremely limited.
• Can I adopt if I live outside PG County? YES. Out-of-county adopters save lives every single week.
• How many dogs can I meet? You may meet up to two per visit.
• What are the adoption fees? Fees vary by weight (larger dogs cost less).
• How do I foster? Urgent dogs must leave through approved rescue partners.
👉 Comment on a dog’s post or message us — we’ll help connect you.

💗 Every share. Every pledge. Every foster. Every adopter. Every inquiry.
✨ It all counts. It all saves lives.
🎄 Let’s see if we can make holiday magic happen — together.

🩷🎄💚UPDATE 12/22: Safe!🩷🎄💚

🚨 URGENT: STIMPY MUST LEAVE BY TUESDAY, 12/23 AT 7 PM 🚨
Please arrive at least 1 hour before closing to meet him!

🐾 Meet Stimpy (A564245)
🐶 ~6 months old • ♂️ Male • ⚖️ ~25 lbs (and growing!)

At just around 5–6 months old and already 25 pounds, Stimpy is a happy, wiggly puppy with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He’s very much in that fun, curious stage of life where everything is exciting and every moment feels like an adventure.

Stimpy is a quick learner who’s already working on “sit” and is eager to please — especially when treats are involved. Like any young pup, he’ll need guidance with basics like training and housetraining, but he’s clearly ready to learn and grow alongside someone who’s willing to invest the time.

In playgroup, Stimpy did very well, confidently playing with larger dogs and showing that he can hold his own while still keeping things fun. Puppies like Stimpy are a 10–15 year commitment full of joy, laughter, cuddles, and yes — a few puppy mishaps along the way.

If you’re ready for a lifetime of love, learning, and tail wags, Stimpy is ready to start that journey with you.

UPDATE: Sherry has 3 interested adopters and one interested foster!! 🥳

Sherry just received her rabies vaccine and microchip, so she is OFFICIALLY able to leave for foster-to-adopt TODAY! Now all she needs is someone with no other dogs who wants to come home to this face every day!

Sherry is an 8-year-old, blind, Shar Pei/Cocker Spaniel mix. She will have a procedure at the shelter next Tuesday to alleviate the pain and pressure in her eyes due to glaucoma. Sherry's developed quite the following since she arrived after the death of her owner. She's just the happiest, most loving, laidback girl there is!

If you have no other dogs and live within an hour of the shelter, come meet Sherry today! But be warned: you WILL fall in love with her. Adoption fees are just $75 for all dogs through the end of the month.

🐕: Sherry has never lived with other dogs and doesn't want to. She will need to be the only dog in her home.
👫: While Sherry has never lived with children, she has met them and has done well with them.
🐈: Sherry may do well with cats. She's never lived with them before, but she can't see them, can't really smell them, and can't outrun them. We recommend slow introductions.
🩺: Sherry is 8 years old and weighs 53 pounds (though she needs to lose at least 8 pounds). She is blind and has glaucoma, but her bloodwork indicates she is otherwise healthy. At the time of her adoption, she will come spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

🩷🎄💚UPDATE 12/22: Safe!🩷🎄💚

🚨 URGENT: BRONCO MUST LEAVE BY TUESDAY, 12/23 AT 7 PM 🚨
Please arrive at least 1 hour before closing to meet him!

🐾 Meet Bronco (A564106)
🐶 2 years old • ♂️ Male (neutered) • ⚖️ ~71 lbs

Bronco is such a good boy — the kind that wins you over the moment you meet him. He was eager to head outside for a potty break, showing off his great manners right away. Treat-motivated and already knowing “sit,” Bronco is a smart, gentle soul who’s ready to learn and please.

Out in the big yard, he loves to chase a tennis ball (no surprise there!), but this sweet boy will happily trade it for a treat — though he may try to sneak the ball along for the ride. He takes treats ever so gently and walks calmly past other kennels, showing his quiet confidence and easygoing nature.

Bronco’s handsome face and calm, steady presence make him absolutely mesmerizing. He’s the perfect mix of playful and peaceful — ready to bring that quiet joy into his forever home. In playgroup, Bronco has participated in Gentle & Dainty.
