Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Hagerstown, Maryland

*Adoption by Application* Hi! My name is Garth and I'm a medium sized dog (about 35 pounds) who is looking for a patient family willing to train me! I can be a little cautious when meeting new people, but with the help of a few treats, I'll be smothering in you with kisses in no time. My legs may be short, but you better believe that they are spring loaded! I can really catch some air when jumping to catch a toy! I'm not well socialized with other dogs and would need to meet any canine companions that I may live with prior to adoption. In order to help me find my best possible match, the Humane Society will be accepting applications for my adoption. If you would like to add me to your family, come meet me today! We strongly urge our adopters to take advantage of our new partnership with GoodPup! GoodPup is offering a free week of training for our adopters that take place right in your home virtually on your phone or iPad with a certified trainer! You will also have access to a trainer that week from 9:00am until midnight Central Time. Even if you choose not to continue after the first week, GoodPup gives you 20% off for life...YOUR LIFE and any dogs you may ever own. Please enroll while you are adopting to give your family and your new canine family member the best success possible!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
