Story

Current Location: Accokeek, MD Macey is a shy girl with a soft heart. She starts timid but leans in for affection once she feels safe. She is gentle, submissive, and likes the comfort of kind people and friendly dogs. ENERGY AND PERSONALITY She is skittish in new situations and needs a patient home that moves slow and builds trust. She warms up faster to women and needs more time with men. She is underweight and needs steady care and love. She enjoys backyard zoomies and relaxed time inside. She settles well once her energy is out. TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR Macey is doing well with crate training, house training, and leash work. She responds well to food and praise. She understands no and is learning sit, leave it, and stay. She has not needed much correction because she tries hard to figure out what you want. SOCIAL LIFE She loves other dogs and feels braver when she has a dog friend to follow. She enjoys exploring the yard and watching the world at her own pace. She likes meeting new people once she has time to assess and relax. BEST HOME FIT Macey will thrive in a quiet home with patient adults or older kids. A gentle dog companion would help her confidence grow. She is sweet, loving, and loyal. She needs someone who will give her space, time, and steady reassurance.

Story

Tessa is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Are you looking for a gorgeous shepherd working breed dog? Look no further than Tessa! Tessa originally lived with a family in a townhouse in Alexandria. Unfortunately, due to their limited space and inability to provide her with adequate exercise during her early years, she developed significant pent-up energy and struggled with reactivity, particularly toward other dogs. Tessa has been through a formal training program with one of our trusted trainers, and is now looking for an adopter who can take over her management tools, exercise routines, and structured training. Tessa deserves a family that she will be able to share a lifetime of happiness with. With the help of her training, she has been successful in playing with other dogs after proper, slow introductions. However, we would recommend that she be the only dog in the home. Tessa is bright, beautiful, and oh-so fun to work with. If you're interested in meeting Tessa, or learning more about her, please don't hesitate to reach out! ATTRIBUTES: Tessa would do well as the only dog in the home. Tessa does well with other dogs outside of the home. —------------- Laila’s Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

King Henri

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult

Washington, DC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We adopted King Henri a month ago from PG County Animal Services Division, which said he was 2 1/2 years old and great with other dogs. We have since learned from our veterinarian that he is 4-5 years old, and in our time with him we have also recognized that he is reactive around other dogs and would do best in a home without other pets. We went to a dog trainer who determined that given our ages and lack of strength we would not serve King well. We also worked with a behaviorist who acknowledged that with desensitizing and conditioning, King's reactivity is very manageable, especially for a younger owner than us. He is magnificent with people of all ages including infants and children, was clearly well trained to obey via words and hand signals, and is very loving always. He is very well behaved in the house and never vocal or barky. He eats well and takes medicine easily. We give him vitamins and heart worm meds and we had him neutered. He is doing very well post-surgery!

Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Hello Osa is about 4 years old , she will be 5 on February 22,2026 . She was 2 months old when I acquired her off of Craigslist in April of 2021. I would like to be able to rehome her to a adopter with past German Shepard experience because she is a very loving and sweet dog with high energy needs. I unfortunately cannot care for her anymore due to a heavy working schedule and have no one to take care of her when I am at work anymore . All I ask for her new home is for it to be one of love and patience for her because she is a very loving, loyal. and sweet dog. She is good with cats and has lived with 2 cats for almost 2 years , she is okay with children and other dogs but needs proper introductions first.
