Pit Bull Terrier and English Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Baltimore, Maryland

**Meet Thorne**

A an active, social boy who loves his people and is always ready for the next adventure. Whether it's a car ride, a trip to the dog park, or just spending time by your side, Thorne is happiest when he's included.

He's **house trained and crate trained**, knows **sit and down**, and does great at the vet, during baths, and even enjoys being brushed. Thorne is very friendly with new people, happily walking right up for attention, and he thrives on connection.

Thorne has lived with **cats**, chickens, and ducks, and has been taught to respect them - though he may try to sneak in a few friendly licks! He does well with other dogs and is very playful and social, especially at the dog park. On leash, he can be a bit eager and reactive when he sees other dogs, but it's all excitement - he just wants to make friends.

Because he's a strong, energetic boy, he'd do best with **older kids** who can match his enthusiasm.

If you're looking for a fun-loving, well-rounded companion who's ready to be your adventure buddy and best friend. Thorne is ready to join your pack.
