Story
Update from foster 1/17: Rhiannon is very sweet! Loves kids! Walks well on the leash and takes treats nicely! Loves car rides! CANNOT be around other animals, however, just wants to play ball in the back yard and lay on the couch! Sits! Stay! Lays! Meet beautiful Rhiannon. She was left at the vet's office by her owner who never came for her...she sustained an injury to her foot and a cut on her side (which has completely healed). She loves to play ball and loves all of her toys, especially carrying around and flipping her metal food bowl around. It's hilarious to watch her. No aggression with toys or food. She is very loving and playful. She will do best without other animals in the home. Rhiannon is just 2 years old and she has been spayed. She gets super excited when meeting new people but calms quickly. She is a smart girl and knows some commands. She is high energy and needs an experienced handler. She has been trained by Apple Jacks K9 in Charlotte Hall and her training classes go with her for the new owner to attend as part of her adoption fee. If interested, please fill out an application first at www.rescueangelssomd.com. WE ADOPT WITHIN 100 MILE RADIUS TO US ONLY. If listed, she is still available. All dogs receive vet care before adoption, including spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, Heartworm/Lyme/Ehrlichia 4DX snap test, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and microchip. Indoor homes only and we expect all dogs to be family members. Adoption fee applies and adoption application required.

Story
Look at that smile! King is a very lovable boy who does well with older kids and other dogs. He is young and learning boundaries, as well as basic obedience, so he can be nippy and overpowering with young children. He needs a confident handler to teach him good manners. He loves to run around and play fetch but can also enjoy a good snuggle and belly rub. He is house broken and crate trained. We still need to neuter King which we are in the process of scheduling - he is a 1 year old black and tan German Shepherd Dog mix. He weighs approximately 66 pounds. King loves being the class clown. He is full of youthful energy and loves doing zoomies, but his favorite thing is flopping over at your feet for belly rubs and love. He enjoys a game of fetch, but after 5-10 minutes he's ready to chill out, go for a walk, or just hang out with you. King is young, so he'll need his new family to dedicate time to basic obedience and leash training. There's no doubt that once King settles into his new home, he will bring you joy each and every day with his silly personality. King is a fun boy who likes to play fetch with tennis balls and return to you to throw them again. He knows 'sit' and is very smart. King is a curious boy who constantly wags his tail. He is dog friendly. He likes pets and affection and will be a great family member as he has a lot of personality. For adoption applications please go to www.rescueangelssomd.com.

ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13564Hi! My name is Greta and I’m a 8 week old German Shepherd Mix breed dog. I’m a sweet girl and currently weigh 12 lbs. Since I’m very young, I am full of puppy energy. Every day I learn new things about the world and about how to have good puppy manners. My foster family says I’m super sweet and snuggly and of course, you can see how adorable I am. I love play time and naptime and exploring and romping with my sibling family and I will love you too if you bring me home to be your loving companion.I'm searching for:- Someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hours, at least not until I am older. The older I am, the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quickly and when I'm bored I could get in trouble.- I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. Professional training will help me bond with you. That sounds like fun!- I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever!Please note that because this puppy is so young, it has only received 2 of the required 3 puppy distemper vaccines. This is very IMPORTANT because it means that the immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age. Until then, the puppy MUST stay out of public places where it could be exposed to the germs of other dogs. These no puppy zones include all pet stores, dog parks, and for apartment dwellers, areas used by other dogs. These requirements are strictly for the puppy’s medical safety and longevity.This puppy is microchipped and up to date on age appropriate vaccines and monthly preventatives.
