Maddox is a 2 year old German Shepherd who didn't have the easiest of starts in life. He came to us severely emaciated, with open sores and little hair from lack of veterinary care. Maddox's skin resolved with antibiotics, flea and tick preventatives and high quality dog food. He has gained over twenty pounds since entering our care in March of 2025. He looks and feels amazing! Maddox has been vaccinated and neutered, he is on monthly preventatives and is microchipped.
Now that Maddox is looking and feeling amazing he is looking for a home to call his now. Maddox will need a firm leader with breed experience. He is working on basic manners but he had a poor foundation in life, we can only assume he had little interaction to build this foundation. He is a fast learner and very treat motivated! Maddox does not care for cats or small dogs. He would do best with older children as his exuberance for life could easily knock a little one down! If you are looking for a smart, loyal companion to train Maddox is your guy!
Maddox's adoption fee is $400.

The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an adoption application, we do check Vet references and personal references. Once processed we then do a home visit and met and greet. We do have an adoption agreement that the adopter must sign at the time of the adoption. Our adoption fee is $300.

Go meet their pets
Meet and greets are scheduled once a potential adopter's adoption application has been approved. We do not have a physical location, all dogs are in foster homes. Another great way to meet our dogs is at events. All events are posted on our Facebook page so check back frequently!

More about this rescue
Black Dogs & Company Rescue (BD&CR) rescues dogs from high kill shelters in Maryland and surrounding states. We are an all breed rescue but specialize in black dogs. Please read about black dog syndrome. These dogs are the last to be adopted (if at all) so they have a hard time leaving the shelter. You may have also noticed the old english sheepdog in our logo. We are the regional contact for OES rescue. They are not the dog for everyone but once you own one (and walk the sheepie way) you will love the breed!
