SOUTHERN MARYLAND – Pets In Need In Southern Maryland, a 501© 3 non-profit Animal Rescue and Rescue Partner with Charles County Animal Care Center (CCACC), is appealing to the public for help in finding forever homes for some remarkable dogs in dire need. The shelter’s policy prevents direct adoptions of pit bulls and other bully breeds, so these dogs rely heavily on approved Rescue Partners for public adoptions.

The Charles County Animal Care Center (formerly Tri-County Animal Shelter) is committed to caring for all dogs in their charge. Still, for those labeled “Rescue Only,” the need for compassionate homes becomes even more critical.

Among the dogs facing an uncertain future, four remarkable bullies stand out:

1. Cadet: This male Pitbull (Staffordshire Bull Terrier) mix is approximately 9 months old, weighing around 41.6 lbs. Cadet’s future hangs in the balance as a young pup until he finds a loving home.

2. Mater: A brown and white male Pitbull (Staffordshire Bull Terrier) mix; Mater is about three years old and weighs approximately 68.3 lbs. Despite his friendly demeanor, Mater’s fate remains uncertain without an adoptive family.

3. Nova: Nova is a blue and tan female Pitbull (Staffordshire Bull Terrier) mix, aged around seven and weighing about 60.0 lbs. Despite her years of loyalty, Nova still faces an uncertain future without someone willing to give her a chance.

4. X: With a striking blue and white coat, X is a male Pitbull (Staffordshire Bull Terrier) mix, aged about 4 years old and weighing approximately 74.2 lbs. Time is running out for X, and he urgently needs a loving home.

All dogs available for adoption from Pets In Need In Southern Maryland will undergo alteration, receive full vetting, and be microchipped as part of the adoption process. These services are included in the adoption fee, making it easier for potential adopters to provide these animals with the necessary care.
