APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!! Jack is a male Shepherd mix, about 5 yrs old. He weighs 45#. He is a good dog... no aggression but also no training. He has been getting some leash training of which he's doing very well. This guy needs to have a companion to take him everywhere, go on hikes, and maybe even swimming. He loves people and is great with other dogs. He does need daily exercise but I’m sure he will calm down after he knows he’s in a forever home and gets his love and exercise every day. He deserves a second chance…he needs someone who believes in him! Check our You Tube Video: https://youtu.be/zawD9-77Oxs This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. You will receive the dog's folder with all the printouts proving the medical treatments received. Adoption Fee: Includes all of the vetting and transportation.

Story
IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit: Caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures. AVAILABLE FOR OUR FOSTER TO ADOPT PROGRAM Meet Jake! Jake is about 1 year old and weighs around 40 lbs. We believe he may be a Malinois/German Shepherd mix (just a guess!). Jake is a happy, eager-to-please boy with a sweet personality. He can be a bit on the nervous side at times, so he will need an adopter who has experience with Shepherd-type breeds and understands their needs. Jake is very smart and highly food motivated, and his foster mom is already working with him on commands. Because of his intelligence and drive, Jake could really excel as a sporting dog or in activities like agility, obedience, or other canine sports. Jake absolutely loves other dogs and would do best in a home with another young, playful dog who is his size or larger. He can be a bit pushy during play, so a confident playmate who enjoys rough-and-tumble fun would be ideal. Jake has met young children, but they seem to make him nervous. Because of this, we feel he would do best in a home with children 11 years and older, if any. As a working-breed dog, Jake will need an adopter committed to continuing his training and providing both mental and physical exercise. A home with a securely fenced yard is required so Jake can safely run, play, and burn off his energy. Jake is both house trained and crate trained and is ready to find a forever home that will give him the structure, activity, and love he deserves. 🐾 Jake is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. The Adoption Fee is $375.00 ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Story
LEANER ALERT!! Rosey is a 2 year old cattle dog mix and she loves nothing more that to sidle up to her people, leaning on them while she gets her scritches. She is a playful pup who gets the zoomies once or twice a day with a sudden burst of energy, but she settles in quickly. Tug of war or fetch? Why not both?! Rosey is always up for either. She has done very well with house training with only 1 accident in her first two weeks with her foster family and she is crate trained. Rosey is working on her leash manners. She can walk nicely when calm until she sees a squirrel or bunny. This girl is as smart as she is beautiful and food motivated which could make training a breeze. While she’s done well with calm children, she is a mirror of energies and will reflect back the excitement level of the person she’s playing with. This can result in her getting overly excited to play at times. Usually quiet, Rosey saves her barks for when she’s letting you know someone new is nearby. Sweet, smart, and playful. She’s ready to be part of your family!

Story
Annie is a gorgeous 3-year-old female Dutch Shepherd mix. She is a very happy, sensitive, smart, and energetic dog. Annie is house trained. She knows the commands sir, lay down and stay. She walks fairly well on leash, she may pull a bit if there is a squirrel to investigate. She usually enjoys a good run at the dog park then she sleeps for the rest of the day. She is dog-selective but can be great with other dogs who are more submissive. Annie does have a high prey drive, so she shouldn't be with cars or small dogs. Annie is a very sweet dog who loves to cuddle and loves belly rubs. She does not bark unless she hears something suspicious outside. Annie does need a good fenced in yard or she will try to get out and find neighborhood buddies to play with. Annie would make a really wonderful companion and hiking dog. She weighs 75 pounds and is full grown. She is microchipped. Meet and greets are by appointment only with approved applicants. Adoption fee is waved but the application process is not. We believe you can always teach an ‘old’ dog new tricks so we highly recommend continued obedience training for this smart pup; it stimulates the dog's mind and establishes a good dog/adopter relationship. This pup, like all pups should be on heartworm preventative, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption form, downloadable from our website: https://www.lastchanceanimalrescue.org/adoption-request-form/ and return it per instructions. Email dogs@lastchanceanimalrescue.org with questions. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates: www.facebook.com/lcarmd

Story
Gwen – The Right Dog, Waiting for the Right Home Gwen is a genuinely good dog—she just needs the right environment to prove it. She’s the kind of dog that doesn’t demand attention. She watches, she learns, and when she feels safe, she gives you everything. Gwen is soft, affectionate, and naturally handler-oriented. Once she decompresses, she becomes deeply connected—following you from room to room, settling at your feet, and choosing you every time. And here’s the part that matters—Gwen already has a foundation. She is crate trained, has solid house manners, understands basic 7 commands and walks on leash with no pulling. She understands structure. She responds to leadership. She is not a project dog. But she is a sensitive dog. In a calm, structured environment, Gwen relaxes, opens up, and becomes an incredibly easy, rewarding companion. In high-energy, unpredictable environments—especially with younger children—she can become overwhelmed and unsure. Not reactive without reason, not unstable—just honest about her limits. Gwen will only be placed in a home with children 10 years or older. She communicates appropriately. She tries to create space. She looks for guidance. That’s not a flaw. That’s a dog asking for clarity. Gwen doesn’t need to be fixed—she needs to be placed correctly. In the right home, you’re not getting a “maybe” dog. You’re getting: A dog with a solid foundation A dog that walks well, settles well, and lives well A dog that will bond deeply and stay loyal A dog that loves and thrives with other dogs of all ages She has also shown neutral curiosity around cats with no clear prey drive, and with proper structure and introductions, may be able to coexist. Gwen is for someone who values connection over chaos. Someone who understands that the best dogs aren’t always the loudest—they’re the ones who quietly become everything. She’s ready. She’s just waiting for someone to meet her where she is—and give her the life she’s been trying to step into.

Story
Kiara – A Good Dog Who Needs the Right Environment Kiara didn’t get the start most dogs do. She came from a backyard “oops” litter without proper early socialization, which made the world overwhelming early on. Through structured training and consistent guidance at K9netic Pack, she has made a significant transformation into a confident, affectionate, and capable dog. Kiara was previously adopted and returned—not because she is a bad dog, but because the environment was not the right fit. She was placed in a high foot-traffic home with a lot of movement and little structure. For a dog like Kiara, that kind of environment creates overstimulation and confusion. Without clear leadership, she became overwhelmed. She also sheds, which is normal for her breed mix but was a contributing factor for the previous home. This is not a reflection of Kiara’s quality—it’s a reminder that placement matters. Temperament & Behavior Friendly, affectionate, and social with humans of all ages Playful, goofy, and engaging personality Handler-oriented and enjoys connection Does best with structure, routine, and clear expectations Kiara is a working-breed mix—intelligent, aware, and responsive when given direction. Training & Foundation Kiara comes with a strong, professionally built foundation: House manners Leash manners (walks well with no pulling) Socialization and neutrality in public environments Crate familiarity Foundational obedience including the basic 7 commands She understands how to exist in a structured environment and is set up for continued success. Dogs: Dog selective Best with calm, neutral, well-socialized dogs Requires proper, structured introductions Also thrives as the only dog Cats: Shows little interest, has never fully engaged with the cats here on property Children: Kiara is great with humans of all ages and has shown friendly, appropriate interactions. Ideal Home Kiara is best suited for: A structured, lower-chaos home An adopter who will provide leadership and consistency A home that understands working-breed needs Someone prepared for normal shedding of a Doberman/Shepherd mix She is not a “hands-off” dog—but she is absolutely a capable and rewarding one. Final Thoughts Kiara has already proven she can learn, adapt, and grow. She is not the problem—the environment was. In the right home, Kiara will be: Loyal Affectionate Playful Well-mannered and engaged She is a good dog with a strong foundation who simply needs the right structure and placement to thrive. 📍 Located in Poolesville, MD 🐾 Spayed, fully vetted, and professionally trained 📚 Adoption includes post-adoption support through K9netic Pack
