your next true love

Read more about Olive

She soaks up training and learns new commands having already mastered SIT, DOWN, CRATE and COME.

She loves all toys and kongs, swimming and running outside.

Olive has been in foster care for well over a year in New York City with another dog but she would prefer being your one-and-only.

She

will thrive in a quieter urban, suburban or rural area, since busy city

streets with trucks and motorcycles can make her anxious.

Olive needs to find a stable, long-term home with an experienced family or person who can give her lots of attention, love, fun times and structure. She does great once she's used to an environment with consistency and care.

If you are looking for a devoted life-time companion to share life's joys and adventures, Olive would love to hear from you.

Transport will be provided.

7. Liesel

Puppy (7 months) · Female · German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) · 13 mi from Bowleys Quarters

Update

LIESEL

Liesel came to All Shepherd Rescue with her brother, Otto, when their owner developed medical issues and could no longer care for them. Despite the unexpected change in her young life, Liesel is a sweet, gentle girl but is VERY SHY.

Un

It appears that neither Liesel or Otto were given the type of exposure to new sights and sounds that puppies need .

Read more about Liesel

They are extremely shy but gentle and sweet. We are working with them to help them become comfortable with us and show the typical playful antics of puppies . Patience and time are they key to helping these lovely pups become more confident and ready to explore their new life . They are not fear aggressive at all---just shy.

​If you would like to learn more about either , please email adoptions@allshepherdrescue.com

When applying to adopt one of our puppies, please remember :

Up to the age of 8 months old, puppies cannot be left alone for a standard 8-9 work day.

Arrangements will have to be in place for 4 hour intervals until the pups are at least 8 months old
.

Having someone with them every 4 hours until they are older greatly facilitates the housebreaking process as well as assists with the general
socialization
of your pup !

8. Suki

Young (2 years) · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (medium coat) · 13 mi from Bowleys Quarters

Suki is a 2 year old loving, goofy, energetic, sweet, and loyal dog who will thrive with an active family or person who understands and appreciates the intelligence and exuberance of a young GSD. She will do best in an adult only home (NO cats) where she can run and play to her heart’s content.

A home with a backyard would be ideal.

Suki was rescued from a local shelter about 2 years ago, she is a high energy, easily excitable, and protective dog.

Read more about Suki

Suki is very smart and was trained at Applejack K-9 Academy & Kennel. She knows commands with hand signals - COME, SIT, DOWN, STAY, HEEL, STAND, FINISH, WAIT, DROP IT, LEAVE IT , OFF, GIVE EASY, GENTLE, KENNEL, RELEASE, and BALL. There is no limit to her intelligence, she is a very quick learner. She has been trained with an e-collar.

She would be a great working dog on a farm or as a scent detection dog.

She loves a mission and is very obedient and committed in this regard! She is great at obstacle courses too.

Suki likes to play with stuffed animals and balls of any kind, especially Jolly Balls and balls that make noise. She enjoys playing monkey in the middle with a ball or toy, fetch, chase and tug. She also likes hunting for treats that are hidden around the house.

She adores having chewable treats that soften as she chews them and peanut butter-filled plastic or natural bones.

Suki has one ear! The original rescue believes it was a birth deformity since it was fully healed and healthy when she arrived to them at 4 weeks.

Suki's best life includes

plenty of exercise at local parks, and/or trails, training, guidance and structure.

If you are looking for a devoted best friend, who loves being active and having fun, Suki is your girl.

13. Scarlett

Adult (1 day) · Female · German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) · 13 mi from Bowleys Quarters

Scarlett is an endearing, intelligent and affectionate 6-year-old shepherd. Her favorite thing beside being with her family is to be outside, or at least watch the squirrels/birds outside in the trees. She is great with older children and other dogs.

She is a wonderful dog; her family loves her very much and wants a better life for her where she can thrive. Currently, she is home alone with 2 other dogs in a small apartment for about nine hours a day and not getting the freedom or attention she deserves.

Read more about Scarlett

She is smart and already knows SIT, STAY, DOWN, COME, LEAVE IT, OFF and other commands. She is trained on an E collar, specifically for off leash work but she

walks nicely on a leash with a gentle lead, a.k.a. Halty.

Scarlett is food driven, which is great for training. She has been to a board and train.

She has lived with children (7 and 9 years old) for several years. She acts the same around children as she does with adults. She is sweet and tolerant, but also enjoys her

space and will go lay down in her bed if she has had enough stimulation.

She has lived with a slightly older male German Shepherd and she is the beta to him. They coexist well, but are not bonded. She has also been to dog daycare and boarding and interacted with a lots of dogs!

Scarlett’s ideal home is one where at least one person is home a decent amount, where she is an only dog (because she’s a little bit of a diva and likes her attention), and where there are older kids, or no kids. A townhome, or a home with a yard would be ideal. She likes car rides and exploring, and would do best in a suburban atmosphere.

She loves having bones or treats.

If you are a family or person with a lot of love to give and looking for a dog that will provide companionship, gratitude, and a steady, loving presence that makes a house feel like home, Scarlett may be your girl. She’s looking for a kind adopter who will give her the attention, love and care she deserves in her next chapter.

14. Natacha

Young (3 years) · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Anatolian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 13 mi from Bowleys Quarters

Natacha is a 3 year old, sweet spirited Anatolian Shepherd mix.

She likes to lie in the sun, roll in the grass, and relax on her own bed. She is an intelligent mild manner dog who is easy to teach new tricks. As with many shepherds Natacha does well with routine and exercise. She does require extra encouragement in new places until she gets used to them. She is very loving and can sense human emotions. She is friendly and shy when meeting new people. She would be a very loyal and great companion to someone special.

She is smart and already has some training. She knows SIT, WAIT, UP, EAT, BED, OUTSIDE, INSIDE, NO BEGGING and NO.

Read more about Natacha

Natacha has done well with a 7 year old special needs child, however, she is not adjusting to a newborn.

She has not lived with other dogs. She will sometimes bark at the neighbor's dogs as they all greet each other for a few minutes. She stares at other dogs when she comes across them on walks or at a park.

Natacha was fine temporarily with an older indoor cat that passed away.

She plays with sticks and balls.

Currently, Natacha is living in a very busy home but would do better in a calm and quiet household with older children or no children.

Natacha will thrive in a home with an active family or person who have lots of love and time to give her, playing and being together. In return, you will have a devoted life-time companion to share life’s joys and adventures.

Thanos is a 4 year old, energetic, affectionate and devoted shepherd who is looking for a new home with an active family or person. A home where he is the only dog, or where this is another mellow large breed dog is ideal.

Read more about Thanos

Currently, Thanos is living with a GSD/Corso who has gotten dominant and aggressive with him, and there was a bite incident. Thanos’ family want the best for him, and despite efforts working with a trainer, he is extremely stressed in the environment, so the dogs must be separated.

Thanos has some training and knows SIT, STAY, RELEASE, COME, LIE DOWN, CRATE and OUTSIDE.

Thanos is great with kids and is loving and protective around them. He lives with children aged 13 and up.

He has lived with another large breed and a small yorkie mix.

16. Dior

Adult · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Bulldog / Mixed · 16 mi from Bowleys Quarters

Courtesy post: Some dogs lose their home once. Dior has lost hers more than once, and somehow, she still has nothing but love to give.

Please take a minute to read Dior’s story. This beautiful girl deserves a happy ending, and we desperately want to help her find it.

Read more about Dior

At just 4 years old, Dior has already experienced more heartbreak than any dog should. She was surrendered by her original owner when she was only a year old, but eventually found what she thought would be her forever home with an elderly couple in their 80s who absolutely adored her. She became her dad’s constant companion. They were inseparable. She stayed by his side, walked gently beside him, and gave him the kind of unconditional love only a dog can give.

Sadly, both of her beloved humans have since passed away. Their neighbor, who is now caring for Dior, stepped in to make sure she wouldn't be left without somewhere to go. But despite their best efforts, Dior needs a new forever family of her own.

And here's the thing about Dior... she is SO easy to love.

She is a professional cuddler who loves nothing more than snuggling up with her person, preferably right in bed beside them. She has a serious obsession with tennis balls, enjoys her outdoor playtime, loves her toys, and knows her commands. She is affectionate, devoted, gentle, and happiest when she has someone to call her own.

Dior is looking for a home where she can be the one and only pet. She deserves a home where she doesn't have to compete for attention or navigate life alongside other animals. She has also shown focused curiosity toward cats, so a cat-free home is recommended.

Dior would do best in a quieter home with a predictable routine, where she can soak up all the love and attention. Her experience with children is limited, so any placement with kids would need careful consideration.

She is currently around 72 pounds and working toward a healthier weight.

We know her perfect person is out there. Someone who wants a loyal companion, a cuddle buddy, a tennis ball enthusiast, and a best friend who will adore them with her whole heart.

Dior has already had to say goodbye to the people she loved most. She deserves to stop wondering where she belongs. She deserves a home where she can unpack her bags, climb onto the couch, steal a spot in bed, and finally know that she's staying.

Let's make sure Dior's next chapter is her forever chapter.

Prince Frederick, Calvert County, Maryland. Her current caretaker is willing to travel for the right home.

Dior is spayed and up to date on vaccines.

17. Wheelz

Adult · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed · 16 mi from Bowleys Quarters

Meet Wheelz!

This handsome 60-pound boy is equal parts playful, curious, and sweet — with just the right amount of goofy mischief to keep life interesting! At 2 years old, Wheelz is ready for a family who will help him continue coming out of his shell and show him just how wonderful life can be.

Wheelz is an active guy who loves to PLAY! Fetch is a favorite, and if there’s water involved, even better! He enjoys his walks and is generally calm on leash, making him a fun adventure buddy. He’s also great in the car and happily settles into his crate when it’s time to relax.

Read more about Wheelz

One of the best things about Wheelz? DOGS! He is dog-friendly, and having a canine buddy around really helps boost his confidence. He would likely thrive in a home with another friendly, playful dog who can show him the ropes and be his best friend.

Wheelz can be a little shy when meeting new people and may need some time to warm up to strangers. Loud noises can also make him nervous, so he’ll do best with patient people who understand that confidence doesn’t happen overnight. Give him a little time, some tasty treats, and plenty of positive encouragement, and you’ll see his sweet personality shine through.

Wheelz would love an active family with older kids (6+) who can enjoy walks, yard play, fetch, and plenty of fun with him. He’s also reported to be good with cats!

If you’re looking for a playful adventure buddy with a soft heart who just needs someone to believe in him, Wheelz is ready to roll straight into your heart.

Wheelz is neutered, crate trained, treat motivated, and ready for his forever home!

Meet 2 year old 36 pound Lavender

Lavender came to the shelter as an emaciated stray, so not much is known about her history. But despite whatever she may have been through, she is the sweetest girl you could ever meet. She is dog friendly, kid friendly, crate trained and has yet to meet a stranger. She walks nicely on leash and really enjoys frequent sniff breaks. She may have some hearing difficulty, but what she may lack in hearing, she makes up for in food motivation! No one should have any problem teaching this gal the basics!

Could Lavender be the family member you've been looking for?

Courtesy post: Meet Lexi!

Lexi is a sweet, lovable Staffy mix who is now in Middle River, Maryland and looking for her forever home!

Lexi was rescued from a neglected home in South Carolina, where she was left outside much of the time with nothing more than a broken-down dog house. After coming into a loving home, she has spent the past six months discovering just how wonderful life can be.

Read more about Lexi

Lexi is truly the sweetest girl with an easygoing, affectionate personality. She is a total couch potato who loves relaxing, sleeping on the bed, and hanging out with her people. She also enjoys walks and chewing on a good bone. She is house trained and is just an incredibly easy girl to live with.

Unfortunately, after peacefully living with another female pit bull mix for several months, Lexi recently developed a serious conflict with the other female. The dogs have had two significant fights, and their family has had to keep them completely separated.

Female-to-female conflicts can happen even after dogs have lived together successfully for a long time, which is one of the reasons we are very cautious about pairing two female dogs. This doesn't necessarily mean Lexi can't live with another dog. With the right introduction and personality match, a calm, compatible male dog with a similar energy level could potentially be a wonderful companion for her. We simply don't want to rule out the possibility based on her current situation.

Her family loves Lexi dearly and had planned to keep her forever, but they know the current situation isn't sustainable. They believe Lexi deserves a home where everyone can relax and where she can continue being the happy, affectionate girl they know and love.

Lexi is approximately 3–5 years old, weighs about 75 pounds, is spayed, fully vaccinated, and was treated for heartworm approximately eight months ago. She has not been crate trained, so her comfort with a crate is unknown.

Lexi has been wonderful with people and was comfortable when her 3-year-old granddaughter visited. However, because she has had very little exposure to children, her family feels a home with older children or adults may be the best fit.

We don't know how Lexi would do with cats. She loves chasing squirrels and rabbits, so a cat-free home would likely be the safest choice.

Lexi would make an amazing companion for someone looking for a big, sweet, affectionate couch potato. She loves her people, enjoys her walks and bones, and is ready to put her past behind her and settle into a forever home.

Lexi is currently in Middle River, Maryland.

20. Buddy

Puppy · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed · 16 mi from Bowleys Quarters

Buddy’s name isn’t just a noun—it’s an adjective! This sweet boy truly is everyone’s buddy.

As of 10/3/2026, Buddy is 10 weeks old and already proving what a love bug he is! He’s just beginning his journey and can’t wait to find his forever home. Buddy loves people and is settling in beautifully with his foster family. He has been introduced to the other dogs and cats in his foster home, and those introductions are going very well. He’s taking everything in stride as he gets comfortable in his new surroundings.

Read more about Buddy

Buddy is doing awesome with his housebreaking and loves to snuggle and play. He’s also learning to walk nicely on a leash and responds wonderfully to basic training using positive rewards.

He’s doing very well with crate training, too, and his crate has become his own safe and comfortable place to relax when no one is home.

Buddy has been an easy pup so far and, with continued love, patience, and positive guidance, will reward you with all the love, companionship, and puppy kisses you could possibly want! Like any young pup, he’ll need a family willing to continue showing him the ropes as he grows, but he’s off to a wonderful start and has so much potential to become an amazing lifelong companion.

Don’t miss your chance to make this adorable little guy your very own Buddy!

Adopting a dog in Bowleys Quarters

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
