Story
🐾 Adoption Notice 🐾 Meet Max, a sweet and lovable German Shepherd looking for his forever home! Max is 3 years old and adores kids, dogs, and cats. He enjoys going for walks, hiking in nature, cuddling up, and playing with his favorite balls. Max is full of energy and requires an owner who can devote time to his exercise and care needs. As a German Shepherd, Max can be a bit anxious at times and may bark when he's scared or nervous, but don't let that fool you – he's a big sweetheart at heart! Max is seeking an understanding owner who can provide a supportive and patient environment. Max is also deeply bonded with his younger brother Milo, and we are open to rehoming them together for a perfect family match. We are heartbroken to have to rehome Max and Milo, but we want to ensure they find a loving and caring home. If you are ready to welcome this dynamic duo or give Max a loving home, please reach out to us.

Story
Bella is an 8 month old German shepherd x husky lovebug. There ain't a time she won't lift up a hind leg for a belly rub. I'm looking for a home where she would be loved, nurtured and supported to continue growing into a happy and healthy lady. Bella is great with children 5+, she has assisted in greeting children and parents alike on their way to school during crossing guard assignments, giving gentle kisses. I caution supervision however due to her larger size, she reckons she is a lapdog - often forgetting her size. Bella is great with other dogs. While larger than our family husky, she submits and is still playful with our husky. I'm looking to rehome Bella due to our boy not taking to her, they tend to play, however he does not eat properly anymore and has developed other characteristics not favorable to his health. I'd love for her to go to a home where she will be loved instead of ending up at a shelter.

Story
Hello! My name is Eva, and I’m looking for someone very special. I’m young, super smart, and quite handsome, if I do say so myself :) I haven’t had an easy time in life though, and my foster mom says I’ve been doing a pretty good job making up for lost time. I’m now house and crate trained, ride great in a car (love that!), and can do lots of commands: sit, shake, down, rollover, spin, leave it (not my favorite!), and focus. I also love to jog alongside my foster mom’s son, woohoo! My loyalty and devotion are endless, once I bond with you, I promise!

Story
Our Adoption Radius is a maximum of 60 miles from zip code 20906. We do not promote our dogs as house trained or allergy friendly. Thomas is probably the smallest shepherd mix we have come across. Fully vetted, neutered and heartworm negative. At almost 6 months old, he weighs 25lbs. Whether or not his very sad start in life being found skin and bones may have stunted his growth, remains to be seen, but what we do know for a fact is this boy is described as a joy to be around, friendly, excitedly barks at other dogs to play with him, and his wiggly butt just keeps swinging :) Thomas will be arriving into MD on May 3 and is looking for a foster home to welcome him. If you're thinking about adopting, fostering Thomas will give you a glimpse of what dog ownership entails. We process two foster applications per pet as it's not uncommon for a foster to back out last minute. Think you can handle the cuteness?

J-Lo is a 9 month old Shepherd mix. She is crate trained and house trained and overall, a very sweet girl! She loves dogs and is cat friendly (loved her previous foster cat). She is a little timid but settles easily.  Her current foster family fell in love with her instantly.  Jenny would love to have a confident female human in the house.  She is super smart and eager to learn.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 19, 2023, 12:13 am

Story
Looking for a new home for Kenzie! She is a 17-month-old (aprox) German Sheperd mix, potentially mixed with English Pointer, fully vaccinated. She is an incredibly sweet, loving, puppy who longs to sit outside, by herself or with others, and watch the world and birds go by! She could sit outside with our cats all day. She was recently rescued in May and adjusted well to our home after about 2 months, getting along so well with other dogs she has lived with. I travel a lot for work and no longer am with a partner who was supporting me caring for her while I traveled.     She is incredibly loving and will want to be your little spoon and lay with you all day! She is still a puppy in energy level, so would love a chance to run around and walk but can spend most of the day sleeping. She is DEEPLY calm in the car, and is a wonderful road trip or any car trip companion. She is a great walking companion, never pulling on the leash. She isn’t interested in other dogs you may meet on walks but she can live comfortably with another friendly dog or cats in the home. She LOVES cats! She has been known to open doors (both sliding glass doors and handle doors), so she is VERY smart and easily trainable. She opens sliding glass doors delicately with her teeth and handle doors with her paws. She isn’t food aggressive in any way and in general isn’t food motivated (unless it’s an especially good treat!). Mostly, she just wants attention and pets! I want to make sure she ends up in a home that will be able to love and care for her properly for a very long time.

Story
Lobo, a 3-year-old male shepherd mix weighing 60 pounds, is a well-behaved and crate-trained companion. We rescued him and his father, Oso, from a high kill shelter in Texas. He rarely barks and is potty trained, displaying good behavior both indoors and outdoors in his foster home. While he may bark outside with other dogs, he generally sleeps peacefully in his crate at night and travels well in the car. Lobo is selective with other dogs, preferring to be the only one in the home or potentially sharing space with a large breed female or his father Oso. Cats and small dogs are not suitable companions for him in a home. He would do fine in a home with teenagers who understand how to interact with a larger dog.With a moderate activity level, Lobo enjoys walks of varying lengths but may not be the ideal hiking or running partner. A fenced yard is essential since he isn't trained to be off-leash. Lobo responds to basic commands like sit, stay (sometimes), come, heel (for leash walking), and off (for not jumping on people). After overcoming heartworms through comprehensive treatment, he is now in excellent health. His ideal forever home would be with a single person, a couple, or a family with older children, where he can be the sole recipient of attention and care. Wolf is ready for a loving home to cherish and support him throughout his life. Could that be you?He is up to date on vaccinations, on monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, microchipped, has been dewormed multiple times, heartworm negative, and is neutered.FYI: The adoption fee covers transport & health certificate costs to adopters in the DMV/PA/other north east states. The dog is currently in Texas in a temporary foster home, but our transporters do runs every 2 weeks.FYI: The adoption fee covers transport & health certificate costs to adopters in the DMV/PA/other north east states.
