More Goofy Boy at Play





Champ Befriends a Leash

What Friends Are For

After a long day, there's really nothing better than cuddling up to a sweet puppy and catching a nap. Champ knows how great it feels!

Champ's Little Adventure

So we took our boy to an adoption event in Annapolis and he was a hit! Everyone commented on how well-behaved he was and how sweet he was. Every dog he met was an instant friend - no matter the size or breed!

One of our fosters took him home overnight before returning him to the shelter the next day and Champ was just lovely - he played nicely with the resident dogs, was great with the cats, and was gentle with the two young children in the home.

Crushing Hard

We meet a lot of dogs but there's something special about Champ - he is goofy, affectionate, and happy. He doesn't know that the odds are stacked against him - pit bulls don't make it out of the shelter very often. But this boy has a fantastic temperament. He deserves a chance. And we can't get him out of our heads!

Look at him go!!





And here's the pathetic boy when we put him back in his run.




Meet Champ!

Champ is currently at the Caroline County Humane Society in Ridgely, MD (on the Eastern Shore).

Below is what the shelter says about him:

This super cute and super handsome boy is Champ the pup and he is looking for a really great new home today! Champ was originally a stray pup who was found by a nice person who was going to keep him but ended up not being able to. So Champ came in to the shelter in the hopes that we could either find his owner or find him a loving new home! We thought we had his owner but they came in and said that he was not their missing puppy and that he was larger than theirs. So Champ is now up for adoption and waiting for you to come and adopt him! Champ is a good boy who is very sweet and loveable. Champ is about 6 months old and currently weighs about 47 pounds. Champ will be a big boy when he is fully grown! Champ got to meet some of our other dogs available for adoption and he likes other dogs just fine! He also met the cats at the shelter and did great with them too! Champ was tested for food aggression and he has none! You can stick your hand in his bowl and he doesn't mind! He is a high energy boy but it's really only puppy energy. He loves other people and doesn't mind strangers either! He does need some work on his leash manners but he is a puppy so once he goes to obedience school, he will make a wonderful household pet! Champ will sit for treats too! He is a smart boy who wants to go home so badly!
