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.

Story
Manny came from a high-kill shelter in Georgia and has been in his foster home for about a month. He is very sweet and affectionate, but unfortunately his foster's dog has not welcomed him into their home so he needs another foster, or preferably an adopter. For more information, contact Dana Melvin at 703-624-8823 or at danamelvin9385@gmail.com.

Story
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13576Hi! My name is Sparkle of The Farkles litter and I arrived from Alabama in search of a home of my own. I’m guessed to be an Australian Shepherd/Griffon mix born around 1/7/24. I currently weigh about 10 pounds so I should be in the 30-40 lb range when full grown.I’m a sweet girl and LOVE to snuggle with my foster family. They say I have the cutest little wiggly butt and my ears look like they have bronze highlights! I also have two larger foster pups that I enjoy playing with and even though they're much bigger than me I hold my own with them. I enjoy chasing a ball, playing with the Frisbee (see video) and going for a walk. I'm doing a good job in my crate overnight and making progress with my potty training.See me in action here:Playing with a FrisbeeI'm microchipped, up to date on age vaccines and monthly preventatives. I am still a young pup though and my new family will need to teach me how to be the best pup ever. I promise to reward you with lots and lots of puppy kisses and snuggles!
