We've worked with animal shelters in Maryland to identify and feature eight shelter pets that we want to find homes for this week. Can you help?

Are you looking to add a four-legged friend to your family? Here are eight adorable shelter pets looking for homes in Maryland this week! 

Disclaimer: OCN is committed to helping spread the word about these shelter pets that need homes. Before you adopt, please speak with the shelter directly to confirm each pet's specific needs. OCN is not held responsible for unknowingly misrepresenting an animal's individual demeanor or health challenges.

"Hi, guys! I came all the way from Virginia for a change of scenery in hopes of finding my forever family. I'm one amazing dog, and the shelter at BHS can confirm this.
