Story
Meet my sweet German Shepherd, born on July 30, 2022. She’s a loyal, intelligent girl who loves being around people and thrives with structure and engagement. She enjoys playtime, going on walks, and learning new things, she picks up commands quickly and wants to please. She’s been fully trained and is able to go off leash with an e-collar. She would do best with someone who is willing to have a large, active breed, and can give her consistent exercise, training, and attention. She’s looking for a home where she can be part of the family and have plenty of stimulation. I’m rehoming her because I can’t give her the time and stability she deserves, and I want her to have the best possible life.

Hi everyone, this is OSO he is a husky perfectly mixed with German Shepherd. He has the audacity of a German Shepherd and personality of a husky. He is very quiet, loves cuddles, and sleep in the floor for extra coldness he is leash trained but he only learned on extended leash which I think make you and his walk way much better. Oso is very well trained cage, commands as sit, dropped it, and come back. he have a lot of energy on him usually three times a day walks maintain him calm inside. He’s very low maintenance to be a husky. He just shade twice or once a year. He is 2 years and half he is not neutered. He’s very gentle with all dogs, but he gets a little bit excited when he sees one just to say hi. He is very gentle with kids as he grew up with three kids of 9,7 and 3 years old.

This sweet Georgia girl is looking for her forever home.  She is your typical sweet big pup who loves others dogs and people. Adele prefers a more rural home (did not do well in foster in downtown DC) and without a lot of in and out traffic in the home. She LOVES to play with other pups and is great in her crate (she is happy to go in with a bone for an afternoon nap and at night), so if she can find the right home to work through her quirks, she could be the great fit. She would do best in a home with older children or teens. She is a little shy at first but warms up quickly and is very food motivated! Adele also knows how to use a doggy door. Could yours be the home of Adele's dreams? Submit an application today! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.       Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home. For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.org.Sponsor Me!

Story
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Lilly is 4yo, weighs 58lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, but is not microchipped.  Lilly is good in the car, but is anxious; she dislikes/fears loud noises such as thunder and gunshots.  Lilly's guardian adds:             "She is Ball or Frisbee fanatic. It's all she wants to do.  A friend told me it's a sign of working dog . A complete stranger could Walk up to  Lilly  hand her a ball and she would accept them . That's how I introduce her to others.  Being a Shepherd she is very protective.  I take her for walks on the Antietam battlefield the closer we get to cars people or dogs the more anxious she gets to the point that I avoid confrontation.  My son hugs me and you can see her unrest. She has the anxiety of wheels. Especially byclcles. She did a year ago knock a byclicelest over on the C.O canal.didnt attack him though.                                  We did go through  4 months of professional training.once a week  2yrs ago.  She knows All the commands  She is very smart, but training was cut short because my wife had a heart attack.  We did board her at a large kennel 3 times when we went on vacation.  She was kept away from other dogs.  She is fine with them and at the vets when neither of us are around.  She loves to swim as I have taken her to Antietam creek numerous times.  I believe in the pack mentality and think she's not been totally broken of it. She listens to me but I just don't trust her and I have grandkids and friends and just can't risk it anymore." Lilly's guardian explains why he has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  "I don't trust her that she won't commit another bite or someone or another dog or animal, especially when I'm not around." BITE INCIDENTS:  In April 2022 and in May 2023, Lilly bit a neighbor's dog and guardian's son's friend.  Guardian explains:  "Neighbor's 2 small dogs were on the property border and Lilly attacked one and the dog was treated by the vet.  [My] son's friend, visiting, got close and she bit leg (nip bite on butt and teeth bite on back of leg); treated by us, not by doctor; both incidents were reported to the humane society."  Lilly's guardian states the following regarding children/dogs/cats:  Lilly lives with a cat and parrot, but hasn't lived with children or dogs, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with anyone but an adult.   Lilly's guardian describes her as: Very active Playful Independent Protective Always at your side Indoor dog Outdoor dog Nervous House-Trained Crate-Trained Lilly's guardian describes her ideal future home:  "I believe Lilly would be best suited for an individual.  She wants to please and does interact great with me.  No matter where we go or do, she wants to follow.  She is playful with so much energy."
