Small Dogs for Adoption in Ellicott City, MD: 8 Little Dogs Looking for a Home

Story: We are so happy to have Dallas safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Dallas is a happy sweet boy who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. Dallas is just looking for someone to be his new best furend and we know that he will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Dallas will need an adopter who is committed to setting him up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising him both mentally and physically. He will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive!

The fee to adopt Dallas is $475. That covers the cost of all his vaccines, his neuter, the collar he’s wearing, his transport to DC and his care in his foster home. He’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines.

If you think that Dallas might be your perfect match, apply today!

Story: Dobby was found alone in a crate in a D.C. alley on a chilly morning without food, water, or a blanket. She’s being cared for by neighbors and has had her initial vaccines and vet checkup. She has likely spent her entire life confined to the crate and without appropriate nutrition which has resulted in some growth abnormalities in her legs that make walking a little difficult, though she’s getting stronger everyday. She has the sweetest, most affectionate disposition and has demonstrated remarkable resilience and curiosity now that she’s outside of the crate. She lives with two other small dogs and gets along well with them, though she doesn’t have enough strength for more physical play yet. She would thrive in a home with minimal stairs, maximal cuddles, and lots of love.

Buddy is doing awesome with his housebreaking and loves to snuggle and play. He’s also learning to walk nicely on a leash and responds wonderfully to basic training using positive rewards.

He’s doing very well with crate training, too, and his crate has become his own safe and comfortable place to relax when no one is home.

Buddy has been an easy pup so far and, with continued love, patience, and positive guidance, will reward you with all the love, companionship, and puppy kisses you could possibly want! Like any young pup, he’ll need a family willing to continue showing him the ropes as he grows, but he’s off to a wonderful start and has so much potential to become an amazing lifelong companion.

Don’t miss your chance to make this adorable little guy your very own Buddy!

Joe is a little, we’ll say “rounder”, and is gentle and curious. But both boys love to love, and are friendly with everyone they meet, including other dogs. Their happy little nubbin tail wags are just about the cutest thing ever. They were incredibly tolerant of every poke and prod they got, both at the grooming salon and the veterinarian’s office, showing their gentle temperaments and sweet personalities.
They are happy little dudes that must be adopted together. They will love and be the best little companions who love to go for walkies and then cuddle by your side.
Jiggy and Joe’s adoption donation fee is $800, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for them by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org. Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.

Story: Teddy was rescued at just 4 weeks old - she was thrown away in a box next to a river in Vietnam and left to die. Since then, Teddy has grown up to be a smart, curious, and energetic girl who loves to go on walks and stretch out on the bed. Teddy knows basic commands, is leash and muzzle trained, rides well in a car and on a motorbike, and is very well-behaved inside the home - you don't need to worry about her destroying any furniture or shoes! Teddy is a bit of an "introvert" and does prefer a quiet and peaceful home, without young children or lots of noise. When meeting new people, she can be shy and introductions should be slow and respectful of her space. Once you have her trust, her sweet and funny personality really does shine through. Teddy suffers from EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency), and needs a special diet and medication to keep her healthy. Currently in Vietnam, this is very difficult and expensive to import, so we would love to move her to a country where these items are easily accessible, so that Teddy's health is not put at risk any longer.

For the past 2 1/2 months, however, she has been blossoming in her foster home, gaining confidence and learning good manners thanks to her foster's efforts and the lead of her foster brother. She's treat-motivated, learning commands like "sit" and "down" and making great progress with gentle reminders that playtime shouldn't include puppy teeth. She has become potty-trained. She goes into a crate with the encouragement of throwing in a couple of treats, and she sleeps through the night (currently in bed with her foster human and foster brother).She loves chew toys, ear rubs, brushing sessions, and just about any attention you're willing to give. She'll happily follow you from room to room like your own little shadow. When visitors come to her foster's house, she settles down quickly and just wants to cuddle and be petted.Pollywog is looking for a family who will continue building her confidence with consistency, patience, and lots of love. In return, you'll get an affectionate, playful companion who's always ready for the next adventure—or the next cuddle.PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, and southern PA region.
