2 Pups, 1 Kitty Look For Forever Homes In Prince George's: SPCA
These two dogs are best friends, and they are absolutely precious.
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Patch recently partnered with the SPCA/Humane Society of Prince George's County. Each week, we will bring you the cutest pets looking for homes. Here are this week's adorable adoptables.
Chase and Gabby have been together since they were small puppies (although they aren’t littermates). Unfortunately, due to health issues within the family, they were no longer able to care for them and they are now looking for another home where they can stay together. Note that Gabby is female, and Chase is male. Both are fixed.

Gabby is the more quiet and laid back of the two. She is very sweet, although a little shy at first, with new people. She gets along with both dogs and cats, although is somewhat indifferent to them and would prefer not being around high-energy dogs. She loves curling up on the couch and seems to be housebroken. Although she hasn’t lived with kids, she has been good with the ones she has met.
Chase is a bit more outgoing. He loves his people and greeting you when you come home. He can be barky with other dogs at first but settles down once he gets to know them. He is mostly housebroken but should be watched initially until he gets into a routine.
The lives they have known have been upended. Could you be the one to put it back together?

Personality: I’m a sweet, loving, playful boy! I take a few days to adjust to new people but once I do, I follow them around asking for chin and tummy rubs. I use my paws like hands, tapping my foster mom’s leg to let her know I want scratches and pulling her hand in to keep the attention going. I also recently realized how comfortable my foster mom’s lap is and I might become a lap cat. If my foster mom wants to know where I am, she just calls me and I always talk back with little meows. I love to play, but I definitely love being petted the most. At breakfast every morning I need to be petted before I’ll eat. It is also very important to be clean, so I spend a lot of time grooming myself to make sure I stay handsome. I also enjoy following my foster family’s old dog around the house. She’s not so sure about me and tries to avoid me, but I think she is warming up to me – she lets me touch noses with her now.
Hobbies: Talking with my foster mom, playing with toys and following the dog.
Favorite Toy: Feathers on string and my ball that makes bird sounds.
Favorite Napping Spot: I can nap anywhere, but I like laps!
How They Came To The SPCA: I was living in a large outdoor colony and never had thought about living indoors. But I got a large wound on my cheek and my feeder noticed it wasn’t healing, so she brought me to a vet. I immediately decided I liked all the attention and food I was getting, so I was happy to stay inside, and now I’m looking for a family to love me forever.
Dream Family: I need a quiet house and a family that will be patient as I get to know them. I get attached very quickly when I see that you’re nice to me. I will need some hiding spots at first, but don’t worry–once I trust you, I’ll barely use them! Also since my favorite thing is to spend time with my human, I would love a family that is home often so I have company.
The local SPCA is a volunteer-run organization that does not operate a physical shelter. Volunteers house the animals in their own homes until they are adopted. Every pet up for adoption is listed here. To start the adoption process, fill out this form. Anyone with questions can call (301) 262-5625 or email pgspcavol@gmail.com.
