Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lola , one of 6 little girls. Eight weeks old. Eight pounds each. And already full of personality. These Malinois–German Shepherd mix puppies are bright, curious, social little sponges who are soaking up the world around them. At this age, everything is new — the sounds, the smells, the people — and they are ready for families who understand that these adorable 8-pound bundles will not stay small for long. A Mal–GSD mix is a thinking dog. An active dog. A dog who will need consistent training, structure, and daily mental and physical exercise to grow into a confident, well-mannered companion. Puppyhood is sweet and chaotic and exhausting and wonderful — and it’s a 10–12+ year commitment. That means routine veterinary care, vaccinations, spay appointments, quality food, training classes, enrichment, and the time and patience to guide them through all the stages from baby teeth to steady adult partner. In return? Loyalty. Intelligence. Devotion. A dog who wants to work with you, learn with you, and build a deep bond with you. These four girls are looking for homes ready to invest the time, energy, and love it takes to raise them right — so they can grow into the incredible dogs they are meant to be. When applying to adopt one of our puppies, please remember : Up to the age of 8 months old, puppies cannot be left alone for a standard 8-9 work day. Arrangements will have to be in place for 4 hour intervals until the pups are at least 8 months old. Having someone with them every 4 hours until they are older greatly facilitates the housebreaking process as well as assists with the general socialization of your pup ! If you are not yet approved to adopt from All Shepherd Rescue, please fill out our online application at www.allshepherdrescue.com. Our adoption fee is $350.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 23, 2026, 11:37 pm

Lillian

Boxer

Female, 9 mos

Hagerstown, MD

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Lillian is the kind of dog who believes every person she meets is already her best friend. Sweet, social, and full of life, this young Boxer girl brings joy wherever she goes and is always ready for her next adventure. She loves attention, thrives on companionship, and would make an incredible family dog. Whether it’s playing fetch in the yard, tossing toys around the house, or hopping in the car for a “bye bye” ride, Lillian is all in. She has a playful spirit but also knows how to settle in and enjoy time with her people. Lillian walks beautifully on a leash, is house trained, kennel trained, and confidently uses a doggie door like a pro. She gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having canine friends to play with. Because of her prey drive, Lillian cannot live with cats or small animals, including farm animals. She would do best in a home with space to run and burn off her young Boxer energy. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, people focused companion who will keep you smiling and moving, Lillian is ready to be your girl. Adoption fee: $400 Includes spay, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to give Lillian the forever home she’s been waiting for.

PUPPY TRIPP

Australian Terrier/Dachshund

Male, Young

Hagerstown, MD

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

If personality could wag a tail, Tripp’s would never stop This little guy doesn’t just enter a room — he makes it brighter. Tripp is affectionate, animated, and full of charm in a way that feels effortless. He’ll tumble into your lap for belly rubs, stretch out dramatically for a nap, and then pop back up ready to explore the world again. He truly lives life in two speeds: play hard and sleep harder. Tripp’s story began with a beautiful gray dapple Australian Shepherd mix mama with striking ice-blue eyes. When her owner was suddenly hospitalized and faced a serious diagnosis, she made the heartbreaking but loving decision to ask for help. Critter Cavalry Rescue stepped in to make sure Tripp and his mom would have a safe future — and now this boy is ready to find his forever family. There’s no missing the blend in him. You can see the intelligence and drive of the Aussie — he wants to learn, conquer, and figure things out. Stairs? He’s working on mastering those with determination (they were never part of his former camper life!). At the same time, he carries that loyal, slightly dramatic watchdog streak often seen in a Dachshund. If someone approaches the house, he’s ready to announce it like it’s his full-time job. Tripp is incredibly people-oriented. He doesn’t just want a home — he wants his people. He’ll shadow you from room to room, watch your every move, and try to be involved in whatever you’re doing. He’s still working on full potty training but understands pee pads and is making progress. He walks fairly well on a leash and will only improve with consistency and patience. And fair warning — this boy is a conversation starter. His unique look and confident personality will have strangers stopping you to ask, “What is he?” And you’ll get to proudly say he’s a perfect little mix of Dachshund and Aussie magic. Tripp is fostered in Nashville, TN and is available for adoption now. He can be adopted locally in Tennessee, and transport is available along the northeastern coast, serving 12 states. If you’re ready for a smart, affectionate puppy who will keep you laughing and deeply loved, Tripp may be your perfect match. Email ccrtennessee@gmail.com and please include your city and state. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted. Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site. The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive. Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comFebruary 23, 2026, 9:26 pm
