Finding forever homes for dogs in need
ADESA National Rescue Dog Day
Adesa invited A Forever Home to join them to celebrate National Rescue Dog Day. Wendy and Skylight Ryleigh had a great time meeting their staff and dealers. It was an incredible experience partnering with them on such a fantastic event. We are grateful for their generosity and enthusiasm which brought so much excitement to our mission.
Thank You Cedar Point & Miss Kibbles!
A huge thank you to Cedar Point Elementary for hosting us at their second annual Paw-Palooza this April! We had an incredible adoption event, connected with many wonderful new volunteers, and loved being part of such a fun community celebration.
We are also especially grateful to Miss Kibbles for donating — literally — a van full of high-quality dog food to help feed our rescued dogs and puppies. Your generosity makes a real difference!
Thank you to everyone who supported us and stopped by to visit. We had an amazing time and are already looking forward to next year’s Paw-Palooza — we know it’s going to be even bigger and better!
ParkNBark Fun
We had an amazing time at Park N Bark this year at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park! It was such a fun event, and we loved seeing so many of our alumni stop by to say hello. We’re also thrilled to share that 7 dogs found their forever homes this week, with at least 3 more adoptions already scheduled for upcoming events! A huge thank-you to the Friends of Ellanor C. Lawrence Park for putting together such a wonderful event and helping make it such a success.

Pot O’ Chocolate Gold Winner
And the winner for the Pot O’ Gold is….Adam McLaughlin! A Forever Home was able to raise nearly $900 from our Pot O’Gold fun fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who participated. Special thanks to Ari Baires for coming up with this idea, her mom Bea for helping out, and Target for the donation. Every cent received will help deserving pups find that special place called a forever home.
Trevor Does It Again!
Dear AFH: At 11 years 8 months of age, Trevor (aka Baxter adopted in 2014) earned his AXP (AKC Excellent Agility Preferred) title on November 15, 2025 at a trial in Halethorpe, MD. The following day he finished his AJP (AKC Excellent Agility Jumper Preferred) title. We started agility when he was 9 years of age to see if he would like it. He certainly did. He is not the fastest dog in the sport, but he more than makes up for it with his consistency, focus, and teamwork. We are beyond proud of his achievements and plan to continue agility with him for as long as he enjoys it!
Signed, Diana Hong, Trevor’s Proud Momma!
