1. Arbie
Meet the Olivettes - Arbie
Read more about Arbie
Born on September 19, the Olivettes are a very special group of puppies with an incredible beginning. Their mom, Olive, came to us pregnant and out of time in a shelter. We got her to safety and gave her a soft, quiet place to deliver her babies — her first chance at real security. These pups were born into safety, love, and stability, and we intend to make sure their futures reflect that same promise. The Olivettes will be ready for adoption on November 15, and we’d like to have adopters confirmed for all of them. They are healthy, social, vocal, and full of Husky energy — everything you’d expect from a litter raised with confidence and care
Adoption Requirements
To ensure these pups continue to thrive, we have specific requirements for their adoptive homes:
Pick-Up Only: Adopters must plan to pick up their puppy from Virginia Beach, VA or Severn, MD (foster home or rescue). We will not transport puppies at this age.
Socialization Needs: These pups must have another dog in the home. The three puppies remaining require ongoing socialization. We will not place them in a home where there are only senior dogs — that’s not fair to your senior dog.
Spay/Neuter Requirement: All puppies must be spayed/neutered by 6 months old. There are no exceptions to this; licensing requires it.
We provide a spay/neuter appointment with our vet in Maryland.
Out-of-state adopters may use their own vet, but we cover costs only up to what our vet charges. Any difference is the adopter’s responsibility.
Activity Level: These are active, high-energy dogs who will need an active lifestyle.
Prior experience with working breeds is required, and they are not suited to sedentary homes.
Supervision Needs: At adoption age, they can only be left unsupervised for 2-hour intervals. If you work full days outside the home, these pups are not an appropriate match.
Cats: We have no way of knowing if they will be cat-friendly. If you have cats, you must have a safe, solid separation plan in case prey drive develops. We will ask you about this — we do not want to see a dog returned for normal Husky instincts.
Noise Considerations: This is a vocal litter. Please be mindful of your neighbors if you live in a multi-family dwelling.
Fenced Yard Priority: We will be prioritizing homes with fenced yards for safety and appropriate exercise.

4. Lupo
Meet Lupo
Lupo is an 8 month-old Husky mix who came to H-E-A-R-T from a local cruelty case, rescued alongside his mom, Jetta, and two of his siblings.
With the help of his foster family — especially his foster Husky siblings — Lupo is doing incredibly well. He’s learning that houses aren't so scary, people can be trusted, and being part of a family is actually pretty great.
Lupo is a high-energy, vocal young guy who loves other dogs, toys, tug-of-war and, perhaps more than anything else, WATER. Pools, swimming, splashing — if there’s water involved, Lupo would like to participate.
At home, Lupo is:
Mostly housebroken
High-energy and vocal
Read more about Lupo
Good with other young, playful dogs
Good on leash, although he can still pull
Still learning bite inhibition and appropriate puppy play
Wary of strangers and sudden movements... But is making daily progress
Lupo is still very much a puppy. He can be mouthy when playing and is an enthusiastic chewer, so continued redirection, crate training, and plenty of appropriate chew toys will help him mature. Because of his energy and play style, he’s best suited for families with children 10+.
Lupo must have another energetic, tolerant dog — he gains confidence from canine companions and has made huge progress with his foster siblings. He needs an active family committed to regular walks, exercise, and patient introductions to new people. A fenced yard isn’t required as long as his family provides consistent leash walks and leashed potty breaks.
And if Lupo could add one special request? A pool or a place to swim. Water is his absolute joy.
Lupo started life learning reasons to be cautious. Now he needs a family — and a canine best friend — who will keep showing him all the reasons he doesn't have to be.
Lupo is being fostered in Virginia and is adoptable from NJ - NC.

5. Jetta
Meet Jetta!
Independent, people-focused, and ready for a fresh start.
Jetta came to H-E-A-R-T after being part of a severe local neglect case. She and five other dogs were surrendered to animal control, closing the door on a life none of them deserved. For Jetta, what comes next is a chance to experience something very different — a home where she is safe, included, and genuinely part of the family.
Jetta enjoys being with her people and would do best with a family that wants her involved in their everyday life.
Jetta’s Dream Home
Jetta is looking for:
A family that will make her part of everyday life
Plenty of human companionship
Read more about Jetta
A home where she won’t routinely be left alone for long periods
Patience and consistency while she settles in and learns her new routine
Regular walks, exercise, and enrichment
A secure six-foot Husky-proof fence or a commitment to leash walking
A home where she can be the only dog or share her space with a calm, respectful canine companion
Jetta is non-destructive (although can be curious if you leave things on the counter), crate trained, housebroken, and mostly quiet for a Husky. She's a good eater and doesn't seem to be picky. For a Husky she walks well on a leash.
Jetta has already lived through a chapter no dog should have to experience. What comes next should look very different:
security, consistency, companionship, and a family willing to give her the time she needs to understand that this time, she’s home.
Jetta is located in Maryland.

6. Juno
Meet Juno
Juno is a 2-year-old female Husky who came to H-E-A-R-T after being found as a stray and put in a Georgia shelter. She arrived at the shelter underweight and neglected, with an unkempt coat and painfully overgrown nails, but quickly blossomed into a shelter favorite. When overcrowding put her at risk of euthanasia, Juno got her second chance and made her way to H-E-A-R-T’s sanctuary in North Carolina.
Read more about Juno
Juno is a perfect example of how looks can be deceiving. That adorable, innocent face might have you expecting a delicate little princess. In reality, she’s a wrestling, energetic girl with a big personality who likes to instigate the others into playing with her.
Juno Is:
- High-energy and playful
- Confident and full of personality
- Good with other dogs
- A rough-and-tumble player
- In need of a securely fenced yard
Juno’s Dream Home
For Juno, another dog is a must. She needs a canine sibling who can match her energy, enjoy her wrestling play style, and be comfortable letting Juno be a boss lady.
She also needs an active family and a secure yard where she can play and burn off that Husky energy.
Juno has already shown just how much she can flourish when given the chance. Now she’s ready for a family, a canine partner-in-crime, and a place to finally call home.
Juno is located in North Carolina. Adoption area: CT, NJ, DE, PA, MD, VA, NC - and other neighboring states on a case by case basis. She can be transported for adoption.

7. Glacier
Meet Glacier
Glacier is a 3-year-old Siberian Husky who came to H-E-A-R-T after being picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter in Georgia. The shelter was having to euthanize for space but his happy personality, polite manners, and irresistible grin quickly made him a staff favorite. So when no one came to claim this charming boy, we knew he deserved a second chance!
Read more about Glacier
Glacier may on the shorter side for a Husky, but his personality is anything but small! He's a high-energy, very vocal, social butterfly who absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs. He especially gravitates toward the ladies and seems to believe that when it comes to canine playmates, the bigger, the better!
In foster care , Glacier Is:
High-energy and very vocal
Social, happy, and playful
Good on a leash
Great with other dogs
No resource guarding exhibited
Not accustomed to being left alone for long periods
Glacier's Dream Home
Another playful dog is an absolute must for Glacier. He needs a young, active, medium-to-large canine sibling who can match his enthusiasm for playtime. He also requires a securely fenced yard and an active family with Husky or similar breed experience.
Glacier hasn't been evaluated around children, but a home with older kids would work. Glacier came into the rescue heartworm positive but is nearing the end of his treatment and ready for his next journey.
With his infectious enthusiasm, endless love of play, and larger-than-life personality, Glacier is ready to bring plenty of laughter, conversation, and Husky antics to his furever home. Just make sure his new best friend is ready to keep up!
Glacier is currently located in North Carolina. Adoption area CT to GA and we are able to transport. Neighboring states considered on a case by case basis.

8. Athena & Iris
Athena and Iris came to us from Frederick County Animal Control after being surrendered as part of a trio of under‑socialized Huskies. Shelter staff initially believed the girls didn’t get along, but once they were safely out and able to decompress, their true relationship became clear. Athena, estimated around 3 years old, and Iris, just a year, are deeply bonded — likely a mother–daughter pair who relied on each other through instability. What began as two misunderstood dogs has revealed itself to be a sweet, protective duo who have only grown closer in foster care. Their dynamic fits perfectly — Athena leads with calm confidence, and Iris follows with trust and devotion.
Read more about Athena & Iris
They enjoy the company of other dogs and will happily play, but always with each other close by. If another dog tries to pick on one, the other steps in without hesitation. Their bond is deep, protective, and incredibly sweet to witness. We'd like to find them a home together.
Athena
Calm, steady, and self‑assured
The emotional anchor of the pair
Helps Iris navigate new experiences
Gentle, sweet, and quietly affectionate
Iris
Young, silly, and still learning about the world
A bit reserved in unfamiliar environments
Gains confidence from Athena’s presence
Sweet‑natured and eager to trust once she feels safe
Because of Iris’s limited exposure and Athena’s grounding influence, the girls will thrive in a
semi‑quiet home
with someone patient and understanding. They don’t need constant activity — just a stable environment, kind guidance, and the chance to continue blossoming together.
Athena and Iris are truly special. They’ve chosen each other, and now they’re ready to choose their person/family.

9. Isabella
Bella is a beautiful, 2-year-old Great Pyrenees who loves people, children, walks, and spending time outdoors. She’s being returned through no fault of her own because her adopter’s living situation isn’t the right fit for her needs.As a working dog, Bella will thrive with an adopter who can provide patient, consistent training and help guide her instincts. She’s a dream on leash—she loves walks and doesn’t pull—and she’d enjoy spending time with other dogs, whether at home or on playdates.Bella is respectful indoors and doesn’t jump on the furniture. She’s not been able to adjust to crate time and may chew when nervous or left alone, so a home where someone is around often would suit her well.
Read more about Isabella
Enrichment toys like Kongs, lick mats, and puzzles can help keep her comfortable and engaged.Protective of her home and person, Bella enjoys patrolling the yard. With love, patience, and structure, she’ll make a wonderful companion—and gladly repay you with kisses.Could Bella be the hard-working companion you’re looking for?PAW adopts in the MD, VA, DC, and northern PA region.

10. Burrito
Courtesy Post Please contact bsimson@gmail.com for inquiry and adoptionBurrito is a roughly 100 lb, six-year old, neutered Great Pyrenees. He is up to date on vaccines and was rescued four years ago. He is incredibly sweet. He loves belly rubs and to lean on you. He is pretty chill and prefers to guard the perimeter of the yard or lay near you rather than play. With good nutrition and genetic testing it was discovered that Burrito is pure bred. He has worked with trainers over the past few years and he has made excellent progress. He follows several commands such as touch, go to spot, sit, leave it etc.Burrito tolerates the owners' cat who is always trying to annoy him.
Read more about Burrito
He does well with people he knows but has strong guarding instinct which is typical of the breed. A home without children is probably best for Burrito. Please contact Burrito's family if you are interested at: bsimson@gmail.com

11. Sadie
FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED FOR SADIE! Meet Sadie! This beautiful, energetic young lady from South Carolina is still very much a puppy at heart. She loves getting out to walk, sniff, explore, and generally see what the world has to offer—but she's also happy to stop for pets, cuddles, and a serious round of kisses. Check out her CUTE VIDEO! A few things we love about Sadie: She's a people dog. Sadie is sweet, affectionate, and loves attention. If there's a lap available, she's happy to climb into it. She's ready for adventure. Sadie has plenty of energy and loves getting out and about. She'll make a great companion for someone who enjoys walks, exploring, and keeping an active dog busy.
Read more about Sadie
She's ready to learn. Sadie knows “sit,” is working on “down,” and is very treat motivated—which makes training a lot more fun. She loves to play! Sadie enjoys playing with other dogs one-on-one. (check out her the photo of her with her bestie, Stripe!) When there are several dogs together, however, she can become uncomfortable and may react, so smaller social settings are a better fit for her. She has previously done well with cats and children. She's a good traveler. Sadie is calm in the car, making her ready to tag along on adventures near and far. Sadie is still working on her leash skills and would love a home with a yard where she can run and play. She's a sweet, energetic girl who is ready for her next adventure—and plenty of cuddles along the way! PAW adopts in Maryland, DC, northern VA, and southern PA.

She is on low-doses of anxiety medication as she had separation anxiety when she first arrived from the shelter.
Read more about Pollywog
For the past 2 1/2 months, however, she has been blossoming in her foster home, gaining confidence and learning good manners thanks to her foster's efforts and the lead of her foster brother. She's treat-motivated, learning commands like "sit" and "down" and making great progress with gentle reminders that playtime shouldn't include puppy teeth. She has become potty-trained. She goes into a crate with the encouragement of throwing in a couple of treats, and she sleeps through the night (currently in bed with her foster human and foster brother).She loves chew toys, ear rubs, brushing sessions, and just about any attention you're willing to give. She'll happily follow you from room to room like your own little shadow. When visitors come to her foster's house, she settles down quickly and just wants to cuddle and be petted.Pollywog is looking for a family who will continue building her confidence with consistency, patience, and lots of love. In return, you'll get an affectionate, playful companion who's always ready for the next adventure—or the next cuddle.PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, and southern PA region.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !
If you are not yet approved to adopt from All Shepherd Rescue, please fill out our online application at www.allshepherdrescue.com. Our adoption fee is $350.00

20. Suki
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.

Adopting a dog in Naval Academy
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.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
