Dogs XL is a new “breed” of dog rescue, committed to the philosophy that there is no such thing as a perfect dog or a perfect home. The right dog is out there for everyone who is willing to open heart and home to a canine companion. Dogs XL operates like a social networking service for dogs, designed to match people and pets based on the principles of compatibility and compassion.
As the name implies, Dogs XL specializes in finding homes for large dogs (typically 75lbs+). Large dogs are often first to be put to sleep in shelters because medical treatment and food for large dogs is more expensive than for small dog. Large dogs also take up more space at the shelter and on transports to adoptive families. Although owning a large dog is not for everyone, large dogs have many unique and endearing qualities. Here at Dogs XL, we believe the larger the dog, the more there is to love.
Occasionally, Dogs XL will intervene on behalf of a smaller dog with an XL personality. Dogs XL also works with other local rescue groups to facilitate adoptions to families that might be a better match for a smaller dog.
Dogs XL is an all volunteer, non-profit animal rescue group.
To begin the process, adopters fill out an adoption questionnaire are contacted by an adoption coordinator within 72 hours for an interview. After the initial interview, if the adopter has current or recent pets we call the veterinarian to confirm that they are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. When possible, a volunteer will schedule a home visit to help advise adopters on how to "puppy proof" the home. Alternatively, the foster family of the dog to be adopted may come to the home to help introduce the dog to its new environment and conduct the home visit simultaneously.
Adoption Fees
Puppies 6 months and under: $350
Adult dogs 7 months to 8 years: $300
Senior Dogs 9+ years: $250
*Adoption fees help cover the cost of transportation to the Baltimore/DC area, boarding, and vetting, including vaccinations, heartworm/Lyme disease testing, flea/tick/heartworm preventative and spay/neuter surgery.

Meet Henry! Poor sweet Henry found himself at the shelter recently in bad shape - emaciated with a skin infection, missing fur, and nails so long they were starting to curl under. We're so grateful we are able to offer this geezer a soft place to land to recover and recuperate while he waits to find his forever family! Despite his sad past, this sweet old man has the playful attitude of a much younger pup and would love to be part of your family. Henry's tail never stops wagging and he's got a pep in his step and a zest for life that just can't be beat! Henry's foster says he's the easiest foster dog she's ever had and that he is just a fantastic guy. Henry loves squeaky toys and enjoys de-fluffing the soft ones, and his favorite thing to do is bask in the sun in his foster's yard and nap on a comfy dog bed with a soft blanket. He gets along well with people and other dogs. Give this grandpa a home today!
Henry needs a loving forever home to lavish love and attention on him. Please open your heart and home to Henry!
