Story

Cute as a Button Sweet. Silly. Playful. Adorable. That’s our girl, Button! Found as a stray, this bright-eyed sweetheart has quickly shown us just how much love and laughter she has to give. Button is a petite little lady at only 13 lbs, making her the perfect size for lap cuddles and on-the-go adventures. She is the perfect mix of goofy puppy energy and gentle soul — she’s happiest when she’s playing with her dog buddies or soaking up attention from anyone who crosses her path. If you’re looking for a tiny pup who will make you smile every single day, Button’s your girl! She’s already crate trained and mostly potty trained, knows how to sit and wait, and is super treat-motivated — so continued training will be a breeze. Button thrives on interaction and would love an active family who’s ready for adventure, cuddles, and plenty of playful moments. If your home is filled with laughter and you’ve been waiting for a pint-sized pup to share it with, Button will fit right in. Adoption fee: $400 $100 refundable spay deposit * Additional transport fee unless Button is picked up from foster in MD $13 microchip registration If you’re ready to open your heart to this soulful, playful, and loving puppy, apply today at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/57837/generic.

Story

Meet Maple – a sweetheart who has survived so much and still loves with her whole heart Maple’s story is heartbreaking, but her spirit is nothing short of inspiring. She was found living on the streets, carrying the scars of neglect—she has a cigarette burn on her head, and her tail had been cut off before she was rescued. Yet despite everything she has endured, Maple is one of the sweetest girls you’ll ever meet. Now safe in a loving foster home in Maryland, Maple has blossomed into a gentle, affectionate, trusting little pup. She just wants to be close to her humans, soak up love, and enjoy the safety she never had before. She’s the perfect companion for someone looking for a dog with a big heart. Adoption details:Maple’s adoption fee is $400, and microchip registration is $13. There is no transport fee for adopters who can pick her up directly in Maryland. If you’re ready to give Maple the safe, happy life she has always deserved, you can apply to adopt her here:https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/57837/generic Maple has been through more than any dog should—but with the right family, her future will be filled with nothing but love. ##2602461##

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. We are excited to introduce Yogi! At just 8 months old, this fawn-colored German Shepherd mix is already living up to his name — easygoing, lovable, and always ready for his next adventure. Found as a stray, Yogi hasn’t let his rough start dim his sunny spirit one bit. He’s a happy-go-lucky boy who greets the world with a wagging tail and that classic shepherd sparkle in his eyes. Yogi is wonderfully friendly and affectionate — the kind of pup who leans in for pets and believes belly rubs are simply part of daily life. He is dog-friendly, playful, and still very much a joyful “big puppy” learning about the world around him. With consistent training and guidance, this sweet boy will blossom into a devoted, well-mannered companion. If you are looking for a loyal sidekick with a heart of gold and a tail that never stops wagging, Yogi may be your perfect match. Please let us know if you would like more information or to begin the adoption process.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rosie , 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, 11:59 pm
