Jaeger
This is Jaeger, a 10-month old neutered male GSP weighing 52 lbs. This little guy is 100% GSP puppy, he likes to get into things, you might call him ornery.
He walks pretty well on a leash and his foster is working with him and he is doing well. He likes playing with toys though you have to be selective on the toys you give, hard bones and kongs work best. He has been known to put things in his mouth he shouldn’t and swallow them.
Jaeger is house and crate trained and knows sit. He is working on other commands such as down and his recall. He is good in 5 ft fencing and rides well in the car. He lives with a 4 year old toddler, but he doesn’t realize how big he is. We think he would do best in a home with children over 8.
He is good with other dogs. He would love a family of his own, especially if there was a playmate for him. He has the sweetest personality, but he isn’t for the faint of heart, he needs oversight.
If you are interested in this very handsome boy, he is in Bowie, MD. If he might be the one, fill out an application!
Levi – adoption in progress
Meet Levi.
This little guy is 3 yrs old and weighs 48 lbs. He was part of a group of 16 dogs that animal control confiscated. Only 2 of the 16 were GSPs. Both he and his brother tested heartworm positive. Levi has been treated and is now ready for his new home.
Levi is crate trained and house trained. He is good with other dogs and respectful of frogs (we have one that visits nightly).
He loves his toys and likes the nylabone chew bones. Levi sleeps with his foster mom at night and sleeps soundly and doesn’t crowd the bed. He also knows a dog door and will use it.
For the heartworm protocol Levi needs leash walked through Oct 20th. After that he is a free man. His foster mom has taught him “sit”, his name, to come when he hears his name and we are currently working on “place”. He is very food motivated, currently he eats via his training. If he does the right thing, he hears “yes” and is rewarded with some kibble. He is doing well.
This guy is just a sweetheart. He just enjoys affection but will lay on a dog bed while his owner does other things. He is just a good boy.
If you would like to hear more about Levi just fill out the application and his foster mom will give you a call. He is being fostered in Sykesville, MD.

Laya
Laya is a 6 yr old spayed female GSP. She is very sweet and enjoys running and playing with other dogs. She is a bit lazy and likes to lounge around but her current owner doesn’t have the space for her to run and exercise.
She’s been around many dogs and is good with all of them. She can initially act like she is the boss but everyone soon realizes she is not.
Her owner passed away and she is in need of a loving home that will care and exercise her. She is super smart and listens very well.
Laya is currently in Fairmont, WV but can be moved to a foster or foster-to-adopt situation. If you are interested in helping out sweet Laya by helping her transition into a new home, pls fill out the Adoption or Foster Application above.
Walker
Walker is a 6 yr old neutered male GSP. He’s has a mild temperament. He loves to run, point and play with toys. He gets along with other dogs but not cats or small animals. He is afraid of young children and will avoid them. So no young children in his new home.
He will do anything for a treat, he comes when called and can sit on demand. Very intelligent, mild mannered, and a happy go lucky boy.
Walker is currently in Fairmont, WV but can be moved to a foster or foster-to-adopt situation. If you are interested in helping out Mr. Walker by helping him transition into a new home, pls fill out the Adoption or Foster Application above.
Buddy
Buddy is a 4 yr old neutered male GSP. He is playful, exuberant, and extremely loving. He’s still basically a puppy in a big body. He loves toys, comfy places, and plays hard.
He listens when told to come, sit, and no. He needs someone who will walk/run him as he likes to be active. Someone who will play fetch with him and enjoy his loving demeanor. He can be skittish around new people but once he’s safe and secure you’ll have a friend for life.
Buddy is currently in Fairmont, WV but can be moved to a foster or foster-to-adopt situation. If you are interested in helping out Buddy by helping him transition into a new home, pls fill out the Adoption or Foster Application above.
Adopted!
Jasey – adopted
Jasey is a 13 yr old spayed female GSP weighing around 45 lbs. She is currently with her owner in VA. She needs her vaccines updated.
She is good with other dogs, kids and house trained. She is spending a lot of time alone as her family has no time for her.
If you can help with fostering Jasey, we can get her moved anywhere within our 4 state area. Pls email mdgsprescue@yahoo.com if you can assist
Beau – adopted
Beau is a handsome 3-year-old neutered male GSP weighing about 50 lbs. He came to the rescue as an owner surrender and was a little unsure when he first arrived, but after a few days of attention and affection, he really started to settle in. Every day we are seeing more of his playful and loving personality.
Beau is house trained and is doing well with crate training. His former owner had stopped crating him since he was not destructive in the home. He already knows his crate as his “bed” and will even put himself there when he wants a break.
He knows sit, stay, down and bed. He loves balls, stuffed toys, tug and anything that squeaks. Once he gets his energy out, he is happy to settle on the couch or curl
up next to you in bed.
Outside, Beau is a strong, energetic boy with a high prey drive. He loves to run, sniff and chase squirrels. His leash manners are still a work in progress, and when he locks onto
an animal it can be difficult to get his attention back. Because he can also jump pretty high, a secure, tall fence would be best for off-leash time.
Beau has been excellent meeting new people, including a house full of guests, and seems to enjoy being around his people. His ideal home will give him lots of attention, plenty of opportunities to run and explore, continued training, and of course a comfy couch to nap on afterward.
Beau is being fostered in Annapolis, MD. If he interests you, pls fill out the Adoption Application above.
Buoy – adopted
Bowie is a handsome 9-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer who is looking for a family ready for lots of love, laughs, adventures… and PUPPY ENERGY!
This boy is smart, curious, food-motivated and eager to learn. He already knows “sit” and “look,” and because treats are definitely the way to his heart, we think he’ll be a superstar with consistent training.
A little about Buoy:
• Approximately 9 months old
• House trained
• Neutered
• Crate trained — although we’re still helping him learn that his crate is his happy place by using treats and positive reinforcement
• Good with other dogs
• VERY food motivated
• Loves riding in the car with the windows down and taking in all the smells!
• Knows “sit” and “look”
• Has not shown any interest in jumping a 4-foot fence
• Super lovable and affectionate… once he finally stops moving!
Buoy is all GSP puppy — high energy, playful and ready to GO! His recall is still a work in progress, so his future family should be committed to continuing his training and working with him on a leash or in a safely fenced area until his recall becomes reliable.
With the right family, plenty of exercise, structure and continued training, this incredibly smart boy is going to be AMAZING. He learns quickly and has so much potential.
Buoy would love an active family who understands that a young GSP needs both physical exercise AND mental stimulation. In return, you’re going to get one handsome, goofy, adventurous and incredibly lovable best friend.
Buoy isn’t looking for a couch to sleep on — he’s looking for a family to adventure with…and then maybe crash on the couch afterward!
Buoy is currently being fostered in Powhatan, VA. If you’re interested in learning more about this boy, please complete an adoption application.
Cash – adopted
Cash is a very handsome 5 year old liver roan male GSP who currently weighs in at a very lean 58 pounds. His neuter is on September 16. Cash is very much your typical hunting GSP – you’d have a tough time telling he was any older than 2…he’s a high energy, high metabolism boy with a strong drive and a busy nose.
He is currently being fostered with 2 teenagers, 2 middle aged Weimaraners and a rotating cast of dogs who are boarded at the house with him. He has had no issues with anyone we’ve come across or any other dogs. He might be too much for an inexperienced family with younger kids but for anyone who is familiar with GSP’s, you shouldn’t have any surprises.
While he’s never been an only dog, he is much more interested in spending time with his humans than his canine friends. We’d expect that he’d be fine as an only dog as long as his new family has lots of attention for him. He’d also do fine in just about any kind of multi dog household, even with a senior dog or another dog who may not be interested in lots of attention. He loves to spend the evenings laying with his people on the couch watching TV and not doing a whole lot. He would also make a phenomenal hunting partner for anyone who was willing to put in the training.
Cash is totally house trained, crate trained, e-fence trained, knows at least basic commands and has shown zero interest in escaping so we’d expect him to be fine with shorter fencing. He loves his toys, walks and patrolling the back yard for anything that may be moving. He will need work on leash behavior because he’s so excited on his walks he can barely control himself (and may jump on new people he meets). He is completely non-destructive – he’s never chewed anything other than his toys, hasn’t dug up the yard or done anything naughty (other than barking at the mean garbage truck), he’s not possessive of anything and even takes food/treats gently from your hand.
While someone is usually home with him, he has done a few work/school days in the crate for ~6 hours without any issue or complaints. He currently sleeps in a crate next to the bed but would probably do fine with just about any sleeping arrangement. He hasn’t been tested with cats but there’s a good chance that would not be a good fit for him.
Cash is currently being fostered in Potomac, MD. If you’re interested in learning more about this affectionate boy, please complete an adoption application.
