Adoptable Dogs, Adoption and Foster Applications

A very happy but sad up date on Sargent. The happy part is we have decided to not more Sargent from the home he has know since joining our rescue. The sad part is that decision has been made because of his aging joints. Sargent will remain in what was his foster home, and is now his home, and the rescue will continue to keep him on joint supplements and pain management along with the rest of his medical needs.

If you have been interested in this beautiful boy but for some reason could not have him join your family please consider sponsoring him to help cover the cost of his medical. He, as well as we, would be very grateful.

Sergent is a wonderful dog. He has the energy of a puppy and the discipline of an older dog. He loves to play with his ball ball, he loves to play with his foster brother and sister and is just enjoying himself. He has put on some weight and looks fantastic, a very handsome German Shepherd and he is very gentle. If you're looking for a dog that your children can play with and not have to worry if the dog will bite them Sergent is the one. He is the type of dog that doesn't get upset if you pull his tail or trim his nails he just tolerates anything you want to do. I'm not suggesting anybody pull on his tail but kids sometimes forget. He does have a lot of energy and he does love to bark. Just his size alone and the loudness of his bark is enough to scare any would be intruder he makes a very good guardian dog for your home when you're not there but he is all bark and no bite. UPDATE: August- Sargent spent sometime in foster to adopt but that did not work out because of the many steps in the home. Since he has been back with his foster he is no longer limping and is back to playing with the other dogs in his foster home. Sarge will need to go to a home WITHOUT steps

ADOPTED! We are changing Zoey to being good with children because we have not seen one indication of her not being. Of course, as with all pets and kids limits do have to be set for both. Children need to know it is not alright to mistreat an animal by doing to them what they want. It is NOT OK to pull body parts, hit, sit, lay on them or tease them. Meet our girl Zoey! She is a 5 year old JRT, house broken, good with other dogs, likes to play with her toys but is not the hyper girl you think of when thinking about Jacks. Zoey came from a family who adopted her elsewhere about 10 months ago. She found herself in need of a new home because of not being good with all children...however, when we were at her house picking her up we watched as the young child hugged, pulled and tugged on her without so much as a warning look. Because we were told that there were times that Zoey was not good with outside of the family children we will be limiting (at least for now) her to older children only, and to a home where children know how to properly handle dogs. Zoey came to us with a severe UTI and is on her way to having that cleared up but she does have some on going skin itchies that we will be trying to figure out with the help of our vet. She likes to spend time in her crate, walks fairly well on lead and rides pretty good. Zoey is currently in foster care with two large resident dogs and her German Shepherd foster brother Sargent. If you've been looking for a sweet furry friend to add to your family Zoey just might be your girl!

ADOPTED! Rosy is about 12 months old and from the looks of it she may have already had a litter of pups. We believe her to be a mix of Boxer and Pit Bull. Rosy and Daisy haven't had too loving of a home as you can see from their pictures. She and Daisy were removed from the home by Animal Control. Both girls have been calm so far, and doing well with other dogs.They are currently in foster care together with other dogs and working on their lives moving forward. First on the agenda is some much need weight. Rosy's current weight is about 35 pounds and she whould be closer to 45-50 pounds. Daisy is about 25 pounds and could also use another 10-15 pounds. They are new to us (7/23/2010) so we will be up dating their info as we learn more about them. If interested in adopting you can contact us at dogrescuemd@live.com or visit our web at www.dogrescuemd.org

Hello there, name's Tommy, glad to meet you! Just to fill you in a bit about me, and in case you didn't notice, I am a Beagle. I was born March 21, 2007 which makes me four years old. I lived with the same family since I was about eight weeks old right up until recently when everything had to change. My person wasn't able to take care of me any longer due to some health problems. Because they loved me they wanted me to be in a home where I could get lots of love, attention amd some walks, so they made the hard decision to call the rescue to take me. In my first home I was the only fur-kid, but did have little humans to play with. Now I am in foster with other dogs, one of them is pretty big, and a couple of cats, one of which just loves me to death! This picture doesn't show how beautiful my coat is because it's in black and white. I am what's called Tri-color, which is black, tan and white. They will be taking lots more pictures of me soon and I'm sure posting them also. I am house broken, crate trained (I do whine just a bit at first though!), I like my new bed but have been sleeping with my fosters in their's, I ride well, and as I may have mentioned I get along with other dogs, cats and little humans. OK, I'm going to be honest about the walking part...I do pull, buts that's only because my nose makes me! You see us Beagles like to sniff and smell our way every where and when the nose gets started (which is all the time!) it just pulls my legs alone with it. I've heard talk about how that is going to be worked on and I'm not sure what they mean by that. Can I come live with YOU?!!

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 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!

Now how much cuter can you get then Cody! Cody comes to us as an owner surrender. The owner received Cody as a surprise gift, she was not asked or made aware of this little guy becoming part of her life. There were no plans for a dog in place because she had no plans of having one right now. THIS IS WHY ANIMALS SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN AS A SURPRISE OR GIFT. Little Cody is only six months old, weighs 7 lbs, is working on being fully house broken (as much as a small dog can be), gets along well with his foster dog and cat brothers and wants to play with them, LOVES to cuddle and be carried. This is a toy breed and because of that we need to stress how important it is for children to understand how easy it is for them to have a broken bone...which could end their life. For this reason it would be in Cody's best interest not to be placed in a home with toddlers or young children. Yorkies are also more on the high maintenance side of having a pet. They need daily brushing and will need hair cuts a couple times a year. As with all our dogs, and even more so with toy breed, they need continued vet care including dental because their teeth do have the tendency to become bad and may need to be removed. If you are interested in making Cody part of your FAMILY FOR the rest of his LIFE please contact us at dogrescuemd@live.com for an adoption application. Cody is very cute but he is not meant to be a fashion statement so please take his life seriously and only add him to your family if you are 100% committed to him for his life. He is also very young and will live to be about 17 years old. If you are an older person please realize and understand that a puppy needs to be in a home where he/she will not out energy or live his/her family.

ADOPTED Please meet Leo who is a 7 lb, 5 year old male Chi. Leo came to us as an owner surrender...an owner who did not want to re-home two of her dogs but had no choice due to a serious car accident which left her with a long recovery. Leo is all Chi with his attitude, and if you have ever been around a Chi you know just what we are talking about! In his mind he is very big and all people are scared by him...but in real he is just a little cuddle bug once he knows you. Leo requires what we call "sucking up" when first met but doesn't take long to trust whom ever it is that is doing the "sucking up" with treats. When I met him for evaluation he wanted nothing to do with me at first...at the end of the hour he was playing with me. He is good with cats and other dogs, seems to be house broken (but expect accidents), will go into his kennel (not real in-love with it), has been around a limited amount of young kids and was fine. Because he is a toy breed and does require time to trust it would be better if he went to a home with no small/young children. Leo, as with Cody (our little Yorkie boy), is NOT a purse dog. Their lives should always be taken seriously. Please do not contact us if you are not willing to accept the responsibility of a life time. True commitment...that is what we ask for. If you are responsible and will honor your commitment to love, protect and forever care please contact us at dogrescuemd@live.com for an adoption application.
