1. Dior
Adult · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Bulldog / Mixed · 3 mi from Towson





Courtesy post: Some dogs lose their home once. Dior has lost hers more than once, and somehow, she still has nothing but love to give.
Please take a minute to read Dior’s story. This beautiful girl deserves a happy ending, and we desperately want to help her find it.
Read more about Dior
At just 4 years old, Dior has already experienced more heartbreak than any dog should. She was surrendered by her original owner when she was only a year old, but eventually found what she thought would be her forever home with an elderly couple in their 80s who absolutely adored her. She became her dad’s constant companion. They were inseparable. She stayed by his side, walked gently beside him, and gave him the kind of unconditional love only a dog can give.
Sadly, both of her beloved humans have since passed away. Their neighbor, who is now caring for Dior, stepped in to make sure she wouldn't be left without somewhere to go. But despite their best efforts, Dior needs a new forever family of her own.
And here's the thing about Dior... she is SO easy to love.
She is a professional cuddler who loves nothing more than snuggling up with her person, preferably right in bed beside them. She has a serious obsession with tennis balls, enjoys her outdoor playtime, loves her toys, and knows her commands. She is affectionate, devoted, gentle, and happiest when she has someone to call her own.
Dior is looking for a home where she can be the one and only pet. She deserves a home where she doesn't have to compete for attention or navigate life alongside other animals. She has also shown focused curiosity toward cats, so a cat-free home is recommended.
Dior would do best in a quieter home with a predictable routine, where she can soak up all the love and attention. Her experience with children is limited, so any placement with kids would need careful consideration.
She is currently around 72 pounds and working toward a healthier weight.
We know her perfect person is out there. Someone who wants a loyal companion, a cuddle buddy, a tennis ball enthusiast, and a best friend who will adore them with her whole heart.
Dior has already had to say goodbye to the people she loved most. She deserves to stop wondering where she belongs. She deserves a home where she can unpack her bags, climb onto the couch, steal a spot in bed, and finally know that she's staying.
Let's make sure Dior's next chapter is her forever chapter.
Prince Frederick, Calvert County, Maryland. Her current caretaker is willing to travel for the right home.
Dior is spayed and up to date on vaccines.
If you are interested in giving Dior the loving home she deserves, please Contact Beck at

2. Hair Gel
Young · Male · Cairn Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 19 mi from Towson



MEET HAIR GEL!
Hang on, folks, because this little scruff is going to wow you. He’s small, he’s cute, he’s polite, he’s outgoing and funny, he’s good with dogs and cats alike, and he’s says there’s no place like home - he just needs one.
Hair Gel is thought to be about a year and a half old, having been found as a disheveled stray. He got a bath, a bangs trim, and has bounced back nicely in his foster home. He’s quickly learned the ropes thanks to big foster brother Teddy (also a Tara’s House alum) and hasn’t had an accident in the house since the first week. Thanks to foster Mom and Dad he has learned Sit, Come and High Five!
He did exceptionally well at an adoption event where he met people of all ages; rolling over and asking for belly rubs as his signature move. If there are kids in his future home they must be over the age of 10, due to his small size.
He is active but once you get on the couch he is ready to cuddle. He sees you at the sofa and he wants to snuggle with you and the blankets. He is very chill. He sleeps in a crate with little to no protest, but would love to be invited up into bed if that’s your jam.
Hair Gel doesn’t have any vices (no food aggression, separation anxiety, or resource guarding) and he walks well on a leash. If you are looking for a little buddy to share your home with and love snuggles, sweet kisses and funny antics, look no further. He’s your guy.
Hair Gel’s adoption donation fee is $500, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for him 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.

3. Georgia
Adult · Female · Cocker Spaniel / Mixed (long coat) · 19 mi from Towson




MEET GEORGIA!
Little Georgia, as her foster pawrents call her, is just blooming in foster care after being found running in traffic as a stray. Estimated to be about 4 years old and weighing 17 lbs, this little beauty got a bath and a spiffy new hair cut after getting her booster shots earlier so she is a healthy, gorgeous and very happy little girl.
Here’s what her foster mom has to say about her…
“This dog is a really, really good girl. She’s a great size. She loves to cuddle. She’s got a lot of spunk. She eats well. She loves treats. She sits, she shakes. She sits in the backseat of the car and doesn’t cry. She sleeps on the floor or in a bed although she would probably be happy if you invited her up, lol. She’s really friendly and gets along with other dogs. She’ll come up to you and rub all over your feet looking for a belly rub. She’s a beautiful brown color and very soft. She has the cutest little eyebrows.”
Although Georgia is the happy little pack leader of 3 other adorable dogs in her foster home, she is ready to find her own castle. She is a petite little thing so kids must be over the age of 10 please.
Georgia's adoption donation fee is $500, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for her 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.

Read more about Olive
She soaks up training and learns new commands having already mastered SIT, DOWN, CRATE and COME.
She loves all toys and kongs, swimming and running outside.
Olive has been in foster care for well over a year in New York City with another dog but she would prefer being your one-and-only.
She
will thrive in a quieter urban, suburban or rural area, since busy city
streets with trucks and motorcycles can make her anxious.
Olive needs to find a stable, long-term home with an experienced family or person who can give her lots of attention, love, fun times and structure. She does great once she's used to an environment with consistency and care.
If you are looking for a devoted life-time companion to share life's joys and adventures, Olive would love to hear from you.

6. Graham
Adult (2 years 11 months) · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Towson





Available for Adoption
Read more about Graham
Meet Teddy Graham Graham is a 3yr old, 50lb, neutered male that was saved from a local high kill shelter. Graham is a super sweet boy who greatly enjoys life despite the rough start he has had since we’ve pulled him from the shelter where he arrived as a stray. Graham enjoys squeaky toys and chewing on bones in his foster home. He did well meeting the resident dog in his temporary foster home after slow introductions where they enjoyed playing chase in the yard together. Graham appears to be house broken when let out consistently and is working on his positive relationship with the crate. He was doing well with his temp foster and she could even leave him lose in the finished basement without him getting into or destroying anything. Graham basically seems like your average joe but he’s not lazy by any means. He would really like a home with a playmate to run around with, someone to take him on walks or play fetch outback before some snooze time on the catch for some tv for the evening; so nothing major but a little something.
Graham is microchipped, neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives with an adoption fee of $375. If you think this Teddy Graham would be the perfect furever member of your family please fill out our adoption application at: https://form.jotform.com/fairytailsrescuemd/dogpuppy-adoption-application

10. Wheelz
Adult · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed · 3 mi from Towson




Meet Wheelz!
This handsome 60-pound boy is equal parts playful, curious, and sweet — with just the right amount of goofy mischief to keep life interesting! At 2 years old, Wheelz is ready for a family who will help him continue coming out of his shell and show him just how wonderful life can be.
Wheelz is an active guy who loves to PLAY! Fetch is a favorite, and if there’s water involved, even better! He enjoys his walks and is generally calm on leash, making him a fun adventure buddy. He’s also great in the car and happily settles into his crate when it’s time to relax.
Read more about Wheelz
One of the best things about Wheelz? DOGS! He is dog-friendly, and having a canine buddy around really helps boost his confidence. He would likely thrive in a home with another friendly, playful dog who can show him the ropes and be his best friend.
Wheelz can be a little shy when meeting new people and may need some time to warm up to strangers. Loud noises can also make him nervous, so he’ll do best with patient people who understand that confidence doesn’t happen overnight. Give him a little time, some tasty treats, and plenty of positive encouragement, and you’ll see his sweet personality shine through.
Wheelz would love an active family with older kids (6+) who can enjoy walks, yard play, fetch, and plenty of fun with him. He’s also reported to be good with cats!
If you’re looking for a playful adventure buddy with a soft heart who just needs someone to believe in him, Wheelz is ready to roll straight into your heart.
Wheelz is neutered, crate trained, treat motivated, and ready for his forever home!

11. Lavender
Adult · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed · 3 mi from Towson



Meet 2 year old 36 pound Lavender

She may have some hearing difficulty, but what she may lack in hearing, she makes up for in food motivation! No one should have any problem teaching this gal the basics!

13. Lexi
Adult · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed · 3 mi from Towson




Courtesy post: Meet Lexi!
Lexi is a sweet, lovable Staffy mix who is now in Middle River, Maryland and looking for her forever home!
Lexi was rescued from a neglected home in South Carolina, where she was left outside much of the time with nothing more than a broken-down dog house. After coming into a loving home, she has spent the past six months discovering just how wonderful life can be.
Read more about Lexi
Lexi is truly the sweetest girl with an easygoing, affectionate personality. She is a total couch potato who loves relaxing, sleeping on the bed, and hanging out with her people. She also enjoys walks and chewing on a good bone. She is house trained and is just an incredibly easy girl to live with.
Unfortunately, after peacefully living with another female pit bull mix for several months, Lexi recently developed a serious conflict with the other female. The dogs have had two significant fights, and their family has had to keep them completely separated.
Female-to-female conflicts can happen even after dogs have lived together successfully for a long time, which is one of the reasons we are very cautious about pairing two female dogs. This doesn't necessarily mean Lexi can't live with another dog. With the right introduction and personality match, a calm, compatible male dog with a similar energy level could potentially be a wonderful companion for her. We simply don't want to rule out the possibility based on her current situation.
Her family loves Lexi dearly and had planned to keep her forever, but they know the current situation isn't sustainable. They believe Lexi deserves a home where everyone can relax and where she can continue being the happy, affectionate girl they know and love.
Lexi is approximately 3–5 years old, weighs about 75 pounds, is spayed, fully vaccinated, and was treated for heartworm approximately eight months ago. She has not been crate trained, so her comfort with a crate is unknown.
Lexi has been wonderful with people and was comfortable when her 3-year-old granddaughter visited. However, because she has had very little exposure to children, her family feels a home with older children or adults may be the best fit.
We don't know how Lexi would do with cats. She loves chasing squirrels and rabbits, so a cat-free home would likely be the safest choice.
Lexi would make an amazing companion for someone looking for a big, sweet, affectionate couch potato. She loves her people, enjoys her walks and bones, and is ready to put her past behind her and settle into a forever home.
Lexi is currently in Middle River, Maryland.

14. Junior
Adult · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed · 3 mi from Towson



Meet Junior!
Junior is an adorable, 58 pound beefy Pittie/Bulldog mix who is ready for his forever home!
You’d never guess Junior is 8—he looks and acts much younger! He is playful, affectionate, and loves spending time with his people. He’s a great listener and has lots of youthful energy and personality.
Junior is housebroken, crate trained, and does well when left alone. He has boarded overnight and done well, and he is comfortable at the vet. His previous family reported that he had no issues with people handling his toys or bones.
Read more about Junior
Junior has experience with children and other large dogs and generally did well. He seems to especially enjoy female dogs. And an added bonus—he is good with cats!
Junior is an enthusiastic, playful boy who will benefit from a family willing to continue working on impulse control during play. He shows good manners in general! Because he can be a little exuberant during play, we think he would do best with older, dog-savvy children.
At 8, Junior may be a senior on paper, but he certainly hasn’t gotten the memo! He has the playful spirit of a much younger dog while being past the puppy stage.
If you’re looking for a handsome, affectionate, playful Pittie mix who is housebroken, crate trained, good with cats, and ready for his next adventure, Junior might be your guy.

16. Sheila
Young · Female · Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler · 3 mi from Towson






Meet Sheila (AKA Rowan)!
Rowan is an adorable Australian Cattle Dog mix who weighs about 38 pounds. She came to us at the beginning of September as an 8-month-old pup from a local shelter, where she was named Sheila. Her foster family has gotten to know her as Rowan, and it seems to fit her personality perfectly!
We’re so grateful we had the opportunity to bring this sweet girl into our rescue. She has truly been quite a catch, and we have no doubt she’s going to make an amazing companion for a very lucky family.
Read more about Sheila
Rowan is a complete lovebug with a happy, joyful personality. She loves people and is thriving in her foster home, where she lives happily with a male dog. She loves to play and enjoys having a canine friend to romp around with. She has also had an introduction to a cat and showed very little reaction, which was a great start! She also seems very interested in meeting children—in fact, when she sees kids outside the window, she watches them with a wagging tail and sometimes even whines because she wants to say hello!
Rowan is doing wonderfully with her training. She already knows quite a bit and is eager to listen and learn. She’s also doing remarkably well with crate training. Rowan is still learning that her crate is a great place to relax, and she settles very nicely once she’s in it. She does especially well with crate time while her foster family is away, even for several hours.
Rowan is a gentle girl, too. She takes food and toys gently and is very comfortable being handled all over. Her foster family can touch her, pick her up when needed, and even take something from her mouth without a fuss. She’s curious about the world around her, but so far her puppy curiosity is mostly focused on the important things in life: food and toys!
Like any young dog, Rowan is still learning and has plenty of growing and learning ahead of her, but she’s off to a fantastic start. She’s affectionate, playful, happy, social, curious, and eager to please—and we think she has all the makings of an absolutely wonderful family dog.
If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving young dog who will happily be your new best friend, Rowan may just be your girl!
17. Suki
Young (2 years) · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (medium coat) · 8 mi from Towson








Suki is a 2 year old loving, goofy, energetic, sweet, and loyal dog who will thrive with an active family or person who understands and appreciates the intelligence and exuberance of a young GSD. She will do best in an adult only home (NO cats) where she can run and play to her heart’s content.
A home with a backyard would be ideal.
Suki was rescued from a local shelter about 2 years ago, she is a high energy, easily excitable, and protective dog.
Read more about Suki
Suki is very smart and was trained at Applejack K-9 Academy & Kennel. She knows commands with hand signals - COME, SIT, DOWN, STAY, HEEL, STAND, FINISH, WAIT, DROP IT, LEAVE IT , OFF, GIVE EASY, GENTLE, KENNEL, RELEASE, and BALL. There is no limit to her intelligence, she is a very quick learner. She has been trained with an e-collar.
She would be a great working dog on a farm or as a scent detection dog.
She loves a mission and is very obedient and committed in this regard! She is great at obstacle courses too.
Suki likes to play with stuffed animals and balls of any kind, especially Jolly Balls and balls that make noise. She enjoys playing monkey in the middle with a ball or toy, fetch, chase and tug. She also likes hunting for treats that are hidden around the house.
She adores having chewable treats that soften as she chews them and peanut butter-filled plastic or natural bones.
Suki has one ear! The original rescue believes it was a birth deformity since it was fully healed and healthy when she arrived to them at 4 weeks.
Suki's best life includes
plenty of exercise at local parks, and/or trails, training, guidance and structure.
If you are looking for a devoted best friend, who loves being active and having fun, Suki is your girl.

18. Bill
Adult · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed · 3 mi from Towson



Courtesy post: BILL WAS ABANDONED... BUT SOMEONE REFUSED TO GIVE UP ON HIM.
Bill's story began when he was just a puppy in South Florida. His foster found him a home, believing he was finally safe and settled.
But through a series of unfortunate circumstances and multiple homes, Bill eventually ended up abandoned and alone in an overcrowded rural Florida shelter—hundreds of miles away from where his journey began.
His microchip had never been updated, so when the shelter reached out, the person who had originally fostered him was contacted.
She couldn't turn her back on him.
Read more about Bill
When the shelter and rescues in Florida had no available space, she paid $1,700 out of her own pocket to transport Bill all the way from Florida to Maryland—with no real plan other than getting him to safety.
And now, Bill desperately needs help again.
The resident dog in the home has become aggressive toward him, and with a toddler in the house, the situation has become increasingly stressful and unsafe. His foster has done everything she can, but she urgently needs to find Bill a foster or forever home where he can finally settle in and feel safe.
MEET BILL—ALSO AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS “CRICKET!”
Bill earned his nickname because he loves to jump, hop, and chase crickets around the yard! This goofy boy also loves jumping over his bed and baby gates—although his landing technique isn't always as graceful as he seems to think it is.
Bill is a 2.5-year-old, 60-pound black-and-white Pittie mix who is an immensely sweet and innocent soul. He may be fully grown, but he still thinks he's a baby!
He was a cuddly, goofy, mama's boy at 8 weeks old, and he is still exactly the same today. When Bill isn't following his favorite person around, he's usually curled up somewhere soft, watching the neighborhood from the front window, or looking for squirrels and crickets to chase.
BILL IS:
Dog-friendly
Gentle with children
Previously reported to be cat-friendly
Potty and crate trained
Knows several commands
Extremely affectionate and cuddly
Goofy, playful, and full of personality
He loves being lazy around the house just as much as he loves playing outside. He's not afraid of thunderstorms, but water? Absolutely not!
His DNA results make him even more unique: 66% American Pit Bull Terrier, 16% Bulldog, and 18% Supermutt—with some Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher mixed in!
Bill has been through so much in his short life. He has been passed from home to home, abandoned, transported hundreds of miles, and is now once again searching for somewhere safe to land.
He deserves for this to be the last time.
Bill's foster went above and beyond to save him when no one else could. Now this sweet, silly boy needs someone to step up and give him the stable home he has always deserved.
Let's help this adorable little “Cricket” finally find the family that will love him forever.
Bill is ready to stop searching for home... and finally be home.
Contact Erica at e.nunez3692@gmail.com or 954-895-3427. He is now in Baltimore City near Herring Run Park.

19. Jiggy and Joe
Adult · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (medium coat) · 19 mi from Towson




MEET JIGGY & JOE!
What’s better than a friendly little Yorkie? TWO friendly little Yorkies, of course! These fellas have been with each other through thick and thin. They’re 6 years old and are grateful to have been kept together in the second part of their story after their owner passed away, closing the first chapter. Having come to Tara’s House a little disheveled, they've had a spa day (hair, nails, teeth and ear clean-up), have seen the vet (sneezing and ear infection care) and are making a rapid come-back!
Jiggy is the smaller of the two (although both dogs also need to lose weight and are working on it in their glow-up foster phase!) and is the more outgoing of the two.
Read more about Jiggy and Joe
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.

21. Valor
Adult · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed · 3 mi from Towson



Courtesy post: Meet Valor, a resilient, brilliant, and incredibly affectionate 2-year-old boy who has been through far more than any dog should and somehow still believes people are pretty wonderful.
At 65 pounds, Valor is a big-hearted adventurer who loves car rides with his head out the window, zoomies in shallow water, and joining his humans for paddleboarding and kayaking adventures.
Read more about Valor
He is also one smart cookie. Valor knows sit, down, focus, and wait, is food motivated, and has been doing wonderfully with both group and individual training at Dogizone in Rockville. He walks beautifully on a martingale collar when his environment is calm and has been described as a stellar student.
One important thing to know about Valor is that his reactivity is very situational and is not aggression. He does wonderfully when he has room to interact and play with other dogs. He has played successfully with dogs in outdoor spaces, at daycare, and during group activities, and he has been introduced to other dogs at pet stores and while playing outside without issues. In fact, his daycare and trainers have seen him play appropriately with other dogs. His challenge tends to happen in confined spaces such as apartment hallways, elevators, or lobbies, where he sees another dog nearby and wants to get to them and play. His current living situation makes these unavoidable encounters especially difficult, but in the right environment with more space and fewer tight, unexpected interactions, Valor has shown that he can enjoy positive experiences with other dogs.
Valor has already overcome so much. He survived eviction, abandonment, and a neglectful foster situation, yet his spirit remains incredibly strong. What he needs now is not someone to fix him. He needs someone willing to understand him, advocate for him, and give him the consistency, patience, and peaceful home he deserves.
His current dad adopted him from an Atlanta shelter after Valor landed on the euthanasia list. He has invested in training and loves Valor deeply, but his busy, dog-friendly apartment building has become an extremely difficult environment for a dog who needs more space and fewer unexpected encounters. This is not a story about giving up on Valor. It is about recognizing that sometimes loving a dog means being willing to find the environment where they can truly thrive.
And we truly believe Valor will thrive.
He is adventurous, affectionate, clever, curious, enthusiastic, snuggly, food motivated, communicative, protective, and incredibly resilient. Valor is looking for his forever sanctuary, a home where he can finally exhale, feel safe, keep learning, and be the amazing dog we know he can be.
Valor is located in North Bethesda, Maryland. He is housetrained, microchipped, neutered, current on his vaccines, and has already received extensive training and support. An experienced adopter who can provide a calm, structured environment would be ideal.
To learn more about Valor, contact Aaron at (443) 904-0973 or aaronlfranklin1@gmail.com
Valor has already shown us how much fight he has in him. Now he just needs someone willing to show him that the rest of his story can be filled with love, adventure, and finally, home.

22. Gadget
Young · Male · American Bulldog / Mixed (short coat) · 19 mi from Towson




MEET GADGET!
He’s funny. He’s thick. He’s super dog-friendly. He has a foot fettish and will whizz on your kitchen floor after being outside just because. Found as a stray with Gizmo (who has since found his furever home), Gadget is now happily doing chores with foster mom and dad on the farm and is safe around chickens, horses, dogs and pretty much anything living. He’s just a happy little doofus and will be your shadow if you let him.
Gadget is a mixed breed and like lots of short nosed dogs, has had to have nares surgery to help him breathe. He also had some muscle mass to rebuild, having likely spent a lot of time in a crate. Now recovered and stronger, he is ready to find his own place (but would very much like there to be humans and other dogs in it please).
We wouldn’t exactly say Meatball is trained, but he does have excellent recall. Foster Mom says he’s like a Yo-Yo and will follow her around the farm, go off and smell the roses and run right back to nibble on her toes. He plays with the other dogs and cuddles in a big pile of puppies when it’s time to rest. He is doing better with house training (about 75% of the way there), and would benefit from a strict schedule to help him perfect this important life skill. He’s pretty young (we think he is less than a year old) and has puppy tendencies so patience is a virtue with him. He hasn’t had much experience riding in cars and was a total ditz on the way to the farm so riding in a crate is recommended.
Gadget’s adoption donation fee is $450, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for him 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.

23. Jellyfish
Young · Female · Rottweiler (medium coat) · 19 mi from Towson




MEET JELLY!
She is gorgeous. She is polite. She is dogs-of-all-sizes-friendly and loves her people hard. This young lady is blossoming under our very eyes and is filling out from her very underweight initial condition when she was found as a stray. Now in a loving and structured foster home, this knock out is quickly becoming part of the family unit and is making herself a part of the three-dog pack. She runs, plays, takes structured walks with, and relaxes with the resident and visiting dogs. We can’t be happier for how life is turning out for her!
Read more about Jellyfish
Jellyfish is a natural beauty with a long tail and the most soulful eyes. She is slowly gaining the weight she should and is now about 80 lbs and approximately 1 year old. Housebroken and non-destructive, she has earned supervised access to her foster home and her foster brothers are teaching her two extremely important household skills: Relaxation and neighborhood watch. If Foster Mom is around, however, she would prefer to abandon her post and sit nearby.
Miss Jelly has had a few outings and not only did great in the car (mostly looks out the window) but was wonderful meeting new people and was sweet with all of the new humans she met. She has met kids ranging in age from 3 to 12 while on leash and happily accepted pets from all adults (men and women alike), although she sometimes still shows shy behavior around Foster Dad who is the biggest/tallest of the bunch. Due to her large size (she is also still growing) we think it would be best to go to a home with children over the age of 10 so she doesn’t accidentally knock anyone over. (She has a VERY enthusiastic greeting that Foster Mom is working on tampering down a bit.)
Jellyfish’s adoption donation fee is $500, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for her 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.

25. Lupo
Young (8 months) · Male · Siberian Husky / Chow Chow / Mixed (medium coat) · 19 mi from Towson






Meet Lupo
Lupo is an 8 month-old Husky mix who came to H-E-A-R-T from a local cruelty case, rescued alongside his mom, Jetta, and two of his siblings.
With the help of his foster family — especially his foster Husky siblings — Lupo is doing incredibly well. He’s learning that houses aren't so scary, people can be trusted, and being part of a family is actually pretty great.
Lupo is a high-energy, vocal young guy who loves other dogs, toys, tug-of-war and, perhaps more than anything else, WATER. Pools, swimming, splashing — if there’s water involved, Lupo would like to participate.
At home, Lupo is:
Mostly housebroken
High-energy and vocal
Read more about Lupo
Good with other young, playful dogs
Good on leash, although he can still pull
Still learning bite inhibition and appropriate puppy play
Wary of strangers and sudden movements... But is making daily progress
Lupo is still very much a puppy. He can be mouthy when playing and is an enthusiastic chewer, so continued redirection, crate training, and plenty of appropriate chew toys will help him mature. Because of his energy and play style, he’s best suited for families with children 10+.
Lupo must have another energetic, tolerant dog — he gains confidence from canine companions and has made huge progress with his foster siblings. He needs an active family committed to regular walks, exercise, and patient introductions to new people. A fenced yard isn’t required as long as his family provides consistent leash walks and leashed potty breaks.
And if Lupo could add one special request? A pool or a place to swim. Water is his absolute joy.
Lupo started life learning reasons to be cautious. Now he needs a family — and a canine best friend — who will keep showing him all the reasons he doesn't have to be.
Lupo is being fostered in Virginia and is adoptable from NJ - NC.

26. Jetta
Adult (2 years 2 months) · Female · Siberian Husky / Chow Chow / Mixed (medium coat) · 19 mi from Towson




Meet Jetta!
Independent, people-focused, and ready for a fresh start.
Jetta came to H-E-A-R-T after being part of a severe local neglect case. She and five other dogs were surrendered to animal control, closing the door on a life none of them deserved. For Jetta, what comes next is a chance to experience something very different — a home where she is safe, included, and genuinely part of the family.
Jetta enjoys being with her people and would do best with a family that wants her involved in their everyday life.
Jetta’s Dream Home
Jetta is looking for:
A family that will make her part of everyday life
Plenty of human companionship
Read more about Jetta
A home where she won’t routinely be left alone for long periods
Patience and consistency while she settles in and learns her new routine
Regular walks, exercise, and enrichment
A secure six-foot Husky-proof fence or a commitment to leash walking
A home where she can be the only dog or share her space with a calm, respectful canine companion
Jetta is non-destructive (although can be curious if you leave things on the counter), crate trained, housebroken, and mostly quiet for a Husky. She's a good eater and doesn't seem to be picky. For a Husky she walks well on a leash.
Jetta has already lived through a chapter no dog should have to experience. What comes next should look very different:
security, consistency, companionship, and a family willing to give her the time she needs to understand that this time, she’s home.
Jetta is located in Maryland.

27. Ziggy
Adult · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 3 mi from Towson




Courtesy post: Meet Ziggy
Ziggy is a handsome 7-year-old, 50-pound sweetheart looking for a patient, understanding family to give him the peaceful life he deserves.
Rescued from a South Carolina shelter in 2021, Ziggy has come a long way, but he still struggles with severe anxiety. Despite his fears, he has never lost his gentle, loving nature. Once he feels safe and comfortable, he's happiest snuggled up on the couch with his favorite person.
Read more about Ziggy
Ziggy is a laid-back, mellow boy who would thrive in a quiet home with a predictable routine. Loud noises, busy environments, and large gatherings make him anxious, so he's much happier relaxing at home than heading out on big adventures. He isn't looking for an active lifestyle—he's looking for someone who simply enjoys sharing a peaceful home.
He's respectful around children and other pets, preferring to quietly coexist rather than seek attention. Ziggy generally keeps to himself, making him a calm presence in the home.
Ziggy does have allergies that developed about two years ago and will require ongoing management with medication and a special diet. While his care does come with some added expense, those who earn his trust will discover an incredibly sweet, loyal companion who simply wants to feel safe and loved.
His current owner loves him deeply, but due to a demanding work schedule, can no longer provide the time, consistency, and companionship Ziggy needs. This heartbreaking decision is being made entirely out of love, with the hope of finding him a home where he can truly flourish.
If you work from home, are retired, or simply spend a lot of time at home, you may be exactly the person Ziggy has been waiting for. With patience, understanding, and a calm environment, he has so much love to give.
Ziggy is currently located in Laurel, Howard County, Maryland.
If you think you could provide the quiet, loving home Ziggy deserves, please contact Terry at ttracyotmom@verizon.net

29. Scarlett
Adult (1 day) · Female · German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) · 8 mi from Towson







Scarlett is an endearing, intelligent and affectionate 6-year-old shepherd. Her favorite thing beside being with her family is to be outside, or at least watch the squirrels/birds outside in the trees. She is great with older children and other dogs.
She is a wonderful dog; her family loves her very much and wants a better life for her where she can thrive. Currently, she is home alone with 2 other dogs in a small apartment for about nine hours a day and not getting the freedom or attention she deserves.
Read more about Scarlett
She is smart and already knows SIT, STAY, DOWN, COME, LEAVE IT, OFF and other commands. She is trained on an E collar, specifically for off leash work but she
walks nicely on a leash with a gentle lead, a.k.a. Halty.
Scarlett is food driven, which is great for training. She has been to a board and train.
She has lived with children (7 and 9 years old) for several years. She acts the same around children as she does with adults. She is sweet and tolerant, but also enjoys her
space and will go lay down in her bed if she has had enough stimulation.
She has lived with a slightly older male German Shepherd and she is the beta to him. They coexist well, but are not bonded. She has also been to dog daycare and boarding and interacted with a lots of dogs!
Scarlett’s ideal home is one where at least one person is home a decent amount, where she is an only dog (because she’s a little bit of a diva and likes her attention), and where there are older kids, or no kids. A townhome, or a home with a yard would be ideal. She likes car rides and exploring, and would do best in a suburban atmosphere.
She loves having bones or treats.
If you are a family or person with a lot of love to give and looking for a dog that will provide companionship, gratitude, and a steady, loving presence that makes a house feel like home, Scarlett may be your girl. She’s looking for a kind adopter who will give her the attention, love and care she deserves in her next chapter.

Adult (2 years 2 months) · Female · Siberian Husky (long coat) · 19 mi from Towson




Meet Juno
Juno is a 2-year-old female Husky who came to H-E-A-R-T after being found as a stray and put in a Georgia shelter. She arrived at the shelter underweight and neglected, with an unkempt coat and painfully overgrown nails, but quickly blossomed into a shelter favorite. When overcrowding put her at risk of euthanasia, Juno got her second chance and made her way to H-E-A-R-T’s sanctuary in North Carolina.
Read more about Juno
Juno is a perfect example of how looks can be deceiving. That adorable, innocent face might have you expecting a delicate little princess. In reality, she’s a wrestling, energetic girl with a big personality who likes to instigate the others into playing with her.
Juno Is:
- High-energy and playful
- Confident and full of personality
- Good with other dogs
- A rough-and-tumble player
- In need of a securely fenced yard
Juno’s Dream Home
For Juno, another dog is a must. She needs a canine sibling who can match her energy, enjoy her wrestling play style, and be comfortable letting Juno be a boss lady.
She also needs an active family and a secure yard where she can play and burn off that Husky energy.
Juno has already shown just how much she can flourish when given the chance. Now she’s ready for a family, a canine partner-in-crime, and a place to finally call home.
Juno is located in North Carolina. Adoption area: CT, NJ, DE, PA, MD, VA, NC - and other neighboring states on a case by case basis. She can be transported for adoption.

Why adopt an adult dog in Towson
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
