Meet Arikazona, or Ari for short! Weighing in at just 14lbs, Ari's breed is just a guess, but we think he's a an Affenpinscer or a Shorkie, a Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix. Whatever he is, he's very cute! Ari has a very sad history. He was found tied to a box in a field on a cold day in Baltimore City. Nobody knew how he got there, and nobody came to claim him at the shelter. We knew he needed us! Ari is very friendly and healthy and gets along great with other dogs. We think he's about 10 years old which is still pretty young for a small dog.​

We are looking for a very special home for a very special little old girl. Dory was turned into the shelter as a stray. She is deaf and blind and wasn't spayed. Her teeth were rotten. She had a urinary tract infection. The shelter estimated she's about 16 years old.
But her life turned around when she arrived at FLFO. We knew it was risky for her age but we had her spayed and all of her remaining teeth needed to be extracted. She is able to eat pain-free and is loves her food, whereas before it was a struggle getting her to eat. ​Dory does have incontinence and must wear a diaper. ​She's a very sweet and lovable little angel, deserving of a home who will appreciate her for who she is. ​Do you have what it takes to unconditionally love Dory for the remainder of her life? She's healthy so could be around for a while!​

Somebody get me out of this old age home! That’s what Boomer is saying about his stay here. Boomer is a very healthy, playful, and active 10-year-old Havanese/Terrier mix. While the other dogs who live here are happy to nap the day away, Boomer loves to run and go for long walks. He really needs to find a great new home who can give him the time and exercise he would like.
Boomer came to us after he was surrendered by his owner to the shelter. His owner said he didn’t like children, so adults-only homes please. During Boomer’s behavior test at the shelter, he showed signs of resource guarding for food and toys. We have seen some evidence of that when he is around the other dogs.
We are hoping to find the ideal home for Boomer. We learned that his previous owner was physically and verbally abusive to him. As a result, Boomer can be fearful at times. If he thinks he’s going to be scolded, he retreats to the sofa or a corner. He needs a new home that will be patient and loving with him, as well as knowledgeable on how to deal with his behaviors.
Boomer is smart. He knows how to sit, stay, and come, and also gives kisses on command. He really wants to be a loving, trusting dog. He has come a long way since he arrived here. Are you the new person he is looking for to give him his happy, forever after?

Are you ready for a new, loyal best friend? Olive is your girl! She’s a 12-year-old Beagle who is happy, active, and loves to be around people and other dogs. Olive arrived at FLFO weighing 61 pounds. Her owner surrendered her because they said she wasn’t eating and could no longer get up on her own. Well, no wonder! She was 20 pounds overweight! And we have never seen Olive turn down a meal. In fact, one of her favorite pastimes is to graze the back yard for bunny droppings!
​
Olive loves to take hikes in the park and walks through the neighborhood. She’s lost 17 pounds and it brought back her vitality. Olive has no health issues.
​
Olive is looking for a home who will continue with her weight loss journey by providing her with healthy meals and lots of exercise. She also would love to have a canine friend to play with but not necessary.
​
Olive knows sit and up (beg), walks nicely on a leash, and gives gentle kisses. She could use a little work on her treat taking skills, however. She’s very exuberant about her food! Because she can be protective of anything she thinks is food, we do not recommend Olive around small children.
