Story
Mimi is a very sweet girl. I adopted her as an addition to my home and companion to my dog Levi and my self in April 2024. She was not spayed nor had she received any shots at 8 months old, nor was she house trained. This was also as a favor to her previous owner, a single mother of two small children who received Mimi from their father as their mother was leaving their state after divorce. However, Mimi continues to resist house training and I am experiencing some chronic pain issues due to prolonged illness and it has becoming continually more difficult to care for both dogs; additionally Mimi is intensely jealous of Levi my other dog (a ShiPoo) Mimi is twice his weight and can be very aggressive towards him and he is now showing signs of stress (not eating, blood in his stool, hiding). I’ve had to come to the conclusion that Mimi will need a new home.

ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/14084Name: BernieGender: MaleBreed: Australian Shepherd Mixed BreedAge: 3 years oldWeight: 51 lbsCurrent Location: Hughesville, MDAbout BernieHello! My name is Bernie! I've been told that I'm a gorgeous guy, and I was recently given a new nickname: 'Best Boy Bernie'! I LOVE people and snuggles. I've met several dogs since coming to OPH and have calmly reacted with manners and friendly respect to them all. My foster pup-sisters and I are great friends, and we love playing together! I've been a very good boy when around the cat (under close supervision). There's nothing I like better than being with my people, but I'm a very good boy in my crate too. I'm a 50-pound lap dog! Foster mom says I need to gain a bit of weight - no problem, I like food and treats. I'm a smart boy who is quickly learning basic obedience and some tricks, I like food puzzles, and I walk well on my leash! I sound pretty awesome, don't I?I arrived to OPH on 12/6 so check back soon for updates on my personality, along with new photos. I’m looking for my forever family! Is that with you? If so, please hit the apply button and let’s get our family started.This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable. Read more about heartworm disease here here

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ziva is back with us because she did not seem to adapt well to her adopted home.  Some dogs need a longer transition in order to feel comfortable. With us at ASR, Ziva has been nothing but loving and affectionate but she was a bit reactive in her new home when meeting new people . We are working on this now. She was rescued from the streets of Afghanistan by a wonderful organization, Kabul Small Animal Rescue (KSAR), https://www.kabulsmallanimalrescue.com/, and is now with All Shepherd Rescue (ASR) in Maryland. Ziva was found by KSAR and held until enough funds were raised to charter a plane and arrange an airlift to the United States for her and 200 other lucky dogs and 100 equally lucky cats. Initially, Ziva was a little shy but has blossomed into a happy, vivacious and social pup and is great with other dogs. Since we don’t know about her past life, we suggest a home with older children only. Cats are an unknown right now. Thanks much to Kathryn K. for your on-going sponsorship of Ziva! If you would like to learn more about our vivacious gal, please email adoptions@allshepherdrescue.com If you have not yet completed our Application process, please complete our Adoption Application at www.allshepherdrescue.com. Our Adoption Fee is $350.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 20, 2024, 8:23 pm

Story
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Penny is 2yo, weighs 50lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, and is microchipped.  Penny dislikes/fears the dark and loud noises; she LOVES car rides !  Penny's guardian have spent a considerable amount of time and money to determine the underlying reason for Penny's sudden onset without success.  She and her canine sibling are currently in a training program from which they'll graduate 1 March; Penny is learning how to properly walk on leash, sit, down, stay, and place.  Although she's doing well, Penny attacked her canine sibling again recently, which prompted her guardian to keep them separated.  Penny's guardian adds:   "When she’s with just my husband or me, she’s content.  But, she is much more content and visibly happy at training & doggy daycare because she’s active.  We have 2 dogs in addition to Penny that we had before we adopted her - a 9yo lab and the 3yo lab.  Our jobs are very demanding, and it was always fine that the dogs had a more chill lifestyle until recently.  It is not fair to Penny to have to be crated or in another room because she can’t get along with our other dog anymore.  We want her to be able to run freely, be as active as she possibly can.  We are heartbroken, and this is the toughest decision we’ve ever had to make.  But in the end, it’s about her happiness and quality of life that matters most." Penny's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her:  Although Penny and one of her canine siblings were the best of friends, Penny has inexplicably attacked and bitten her a few times since December 2023.   Lunge/Attack/Bite Incidents:  Since December in 2023, in Hollywood, MD, Penny has attacked and bitten one of her canine sibling without provocation; the bite broke the skin, animal control was not involved and veterinary treatment was not necessary.  Penny's guardian explains:  "Penny lunged at and attacked our other dog.  Our other dog ended up with a gsh in her ear, chest, and bit marks on her front leg.  They were not severe, so we cleaned them up and they're healing." Penny's guardian states the following regarding children:  Although Penny hasn't lived with children, her guardian recommends her living with children, stating "Penny loves our two young nieces and nephew.  She is gentle with them, lays next to them, and loves when they play with her". Penny's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Although Penny lives with two dogs, her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, stating "Prior to the first incident in December, we never had any issues with Penny and our dogs.  They were all the best of friends, played great together, slept on top of each other, drank out of the water bowl together, truly inseparable.  We have never had any issues with Penny with our neighbors' dogs, dogs at the vet, or groomer". Penny's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Penny lives with a cat, so her guardian recommends Penny living with cats, stating "Penny and our cat are best friends". Penny's guardian describes her as follows: Very active Couch potato Playful Friendly Fence Jumper Likes to be touched Affectionate Independent Protective Always at your side Indoor dog House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Penny's guardian described her ideal future home: "Penny would truly thrive in an active home.  Going on multiple daily walks, playing outside, going for frequent car rides, going to different parks or beaches, running and playing freely.  She would benefit from a fenced yard with lots of room for her to run and play."
