If you think they all make it out of a shelter and into a new home, think again.  Here is a very sad truth that is even harder to watch.  This is what their lives are reduced to when the very ones they thought would love them forever let them down.  Be responsible when adding a pet to your family, and please, spay and neuter.

Say hello to Ebony

Meet our special friend Ebony

Hello, my name is Ebony. I think its a beautiful name just like me. I want to tell you a little about me because I am looking for a new home of my own. I am about 1 to 1.5 years old, house broken (never an accident in my foster moms house!), LOVE to play ball, live with other dogs and cats now and I like kids. I ride well, am crated, and I like to go for walksbut I need to work on that. The vet said I am something called a Border Collie, my foster mom said she agrees because of my energy level. Don't get me wrong I like to cuddle and be calm, but I also like my play time! Ebony can and will also jump a standard height fence. My mom says I am just a little too interested in cats. Not real sure what she means but I know when I am trying to play with them she yells at me to leave it. I havent hurt them, just want to play, but I do get a little too intense with them. Thats why I have to get crated when the people leave the house. Mom doesnt want the cats to be pounced on by me. Its OK for those cats to smack me around and they never get yelled at, its just not fair. The other dogs here can be a little pushy with me to. I guess its because they were here before me and they think they can boss me around. Mom does tell them to knock it off (why doesnt she tell those cats that?!!) but every now and then we do end up snarffing each other. Not good because that makes mom mad at all of us. Ive also heard her say that I am starting to be a little protective so she was putting her foot downwhatever that means. Now when people come in the house Im not allowed to bark at them, and mom tells them to ignore me. After a few minutes of me checking them out when they are not looking I like for them to pet me. Mom said that this behavior will need to be worked on in my new home. Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, I am looking for a new home I can call my own. I like it here with everyone but theres just nothing like having your very own family to love. I was found as a stray and no one bothered to answer any of the ads mom placed and posted. That made her sad because it made her think no one wanted me. Thats not true momI know you and the rest of the rescue wants and loves me! Mom is happy now that no one claimed me when I was lost. She thinks someone might have hit on me before because when people go to pet my head I flutter my eyes. Im not saying if thats true or false because I dont want to get any one in troubleafter all to me they were still my best friend even if I wasnt theirs. Thats just how we dogs are. If you have been wanting a new friend and family member to keep you company, love you and make you smile, maybe you could think about adopting me to fill that spot. I promise you will not be sorry!I will love YOU always! Give the rescue one of these post things at dogrescuemd@live.com and they will tell you how you can have me for your very own!

Adopting A Friend

Who says you can't find true love on the internet.
Please adopt don't shop. Put a stop to puppy mills.
If you see a dog that you are interested in please ask us for a adoption application and we would be happy to send one to you. At this time we are limited to central Maryland. There will be a home visit as apart of the application once your application is approved there will be a $225.00 adoption fee only if you decide to adopt a dog from us.  There are no up front fees.
 

National Statistics:

Only 1 out of 10 dogs born ever get a home--- Only 1 out of 12 cats born ever find a home---- 800 dogs & cats are KILLED each HOUR in the U.S, because there are not enough homes for them

Saving one animal will not change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal.

Please Spay And Neuter Your Pets!!!

For information on low cost spay and neuter please visit our Links page.
