Built like a potato, rides in style, and ready for retirement adventures. Meet Funeral Potatoes, a 12-year-old Chihuahua with a name almost as memorable as his personality!Funeral Potatoes came to us after his owner had to move and could no longer take him along. He arrived in a very stylish hearse called a Hurst, and with his round little shape, the name just seemed to fit perfectly.This sweet senior is your classic older gentleman. He's a little slower these days, a little quieter, and can be shy when meeting new people, but once he settles in, he's a happy little guy who enjoys life's simple pleasures. While he loves a comfy bed and a cozy spot to relax, he still enjoys getting out for strolls around town and taking in the sights. In fact, a few regular walks would be a great way to help him shed a little bit of weight while spending quality time with his new family.When Funeral Potatoes visited our veterinarian, he was evaluated for Cushing's disease. Thankfully, testing did not indicate that he has it. However, because he is an older dog carrying a few extra pounds, his future family should continue to monitor his health with their veterinarian and keep him on a healthy lifestyle plan.Funeral Potatoes has done well with other dogs and cats and would likely thrive in a home with older children who understand how to respectfully interact with senior pets. He's looking for a family that will appreciate him for exactly who he is: a lovable little old man who deserves a soft bed, gentle walks, and plenty of love.If you're looking for a loyal companion to enjoy the slower side of life with, Funeral Potatoes is ready to roll right into your heart. ❤️Funeral Potatoes' adoption fee was sponsored by Jody Baker “ The Property Toller”! Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful.

We are an open-admission animal shelter, and welcome every animal in need that we can legally accept. As an open-admission shelter, we take in many animals who may not be immediate candidates for adoption. Whenever possible, our foster parents work with these animals to rehabilitate them and qualify them for adoption to good homes. There is no set limit to the length of time an animal can remain in our adoption program. As long as we have space, and the pet appears to be able to maintain good physical and emotional health in our kennel environment (or foster home), the pet will remain in our program. Every animal, however long it remains in our adoption program, is guaranteed a clean, safe, comfortable space, nutritious food and fresh water, medical supervision and, when needed, care and supplies, as well as interaction with volunteers who groom, exercise, and socialize with them. We do our best to move young puppies and kittens and other special-needs animals into foster care, where they remain until they are ready for adoption. We also work with breed-specific groups to find homes for some animals, in order to maintain space within our own shelter. We do everything in our power to avoid the euthanasia of healthy animals, or of animals who can be rehabilitated or go to homes that will provide care for a lifetime. We are able to find new homes for the great majority of our pets and appreciate your continued support as we push towards a low-kill community. To reach this goal, we are working to create not a no-kill shelter, but a low-kill community where all adoptable animals are able to find forever loving homes. These are the steps we are taking to achieve that effect: Maintain a widespread effort to promote spaying and neutering of all companion animals Continually increase the number of shelter animals that are adopted to new homes through our programs. Encourage responsible pet ownership through public-awareness campaigns, humane education programs, and efforts to legally eliminate puppy mills and backyard breeders Supporting pet owners through training classes, counseling, and referrals to outside information sources The Humane Society of Kent County Maryland, Inc is a private, charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are not affiliated with any other animal-welfare organization, locally or nationally. We rely entirely on the income from our community and on donations from the public in order to keep our doors open. We invite you to become more involved by becoming a volunteer or a foster parent. See our Programs link for information on how to do this.
