Story
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/8445Hey there! My name is Lion King AKA Louie. I am 100% an English Shepherd guessed to be about 8 years old and around 61lbs. ♡ I am 100% potty-trained. I will whine to let you know I want to go out. 
 ♡ I have spectacular house manners. I will wait for your permission before jumping up on the couch and I learn rules quickly. ♡ I don’t try to steal human food. (But I will stare at you with my sad puppy eyes until you sneak me a piece under the table). 
♡ I’m a gentle-giant. I am SUPER polite with cats and other dogs. I understand social cues well. ♡ I’m a total velcro dog to my chosen person. I LOVE to be around people so I’d like a family where someone is home all-day. ♡ I’m relatively low-energy. I don’t need long walks to thrive - quality time and affection is most important to me. ♡ I am the BIGGEST snuggle-bug you will ever meet. I lean my head into your hand when I want more head rubs and lay my head on your lap when I’m sleepy. ♡ I will need a home with a fenced yard. I get shy going ‘number 2’ on walks. ♡ Forget the doorbell - I will personally alert you to someone at the door.♡ I love treats so therefore - I love training! I'm very smart. I know basic commands like “sit, lie down, stay, come, and move”. I want more than anything to be the best dog ever. ♡ Big/loud/strange men sometimes scare me. Mom gives me lots of treats so that I feel safe when meeting these types of men. ♡ I always have a big smile plastered on my face. I’m just a happy, gentle, 61lbs teddy bear with an endless amount of love to give. Think we could be the right match? Apply now! I won't be available forever!

Story
Shadow is a 6 year old English shepherd. He has been our beloved family pet for years but as he has gotten older he has had a harder and harder time getting along with the other pets and many animals on our farm. We have had to make a difficult decision to give him up because he is no longer getting along with them. Other than this issue, Shadow is very sweet, well trained, laid back inside and has no destructive tendencies. What he really needs is a home where there are preferably no other pets. Shadow can stay home by himself with no problems, he doesn't chew and is perfectly horse trained. He walks on leash very well, doesn't pull. He also knows basic commands: sit, stay, lay down, come, paw etc. He needs exercise but not an excessive amount and will be happy with a few walks a day. We really want him to have the best home possible and know that he is happy and well taken care of. We just want him to be happy with his new home.

These pups are in Rockville, Maryland too!
