Hawk
Hawk is a 55 lb 3-year old neutered male German Shorthaired Pointer. Hawk was surrendered
to rescue due to his families busy and on the go lifestyle. Since being in foster care, Hawk is
up to date on all vaccines and is currently on a flea, tick and heartworm preventative.
Hawk loves playing fetch, being outdoors and of course running! He is the defender of the
back yard, if there is a bird or a squirrel he is chasing it. His intense energy is ideal for families
with young and playful children. His foster home has 2 children ages 5 and 8, and a 3 yr old
border collie/poodle mix. He is very social and great with other dogs. At the end of a busy
day, Hawk is a cuddle bug and enjoys snuggle time!
Hawk is highly intelligent and needs consistent training. He is house trained and crate trained
so rest assured he will be comfortable if home alone. He knows some basic commands and
loves to walk with a leash, and e-collar helps with learning to control his hunting instincts when
he is on or off leash.
Hawk is a great companion and loves affection. If you adopt Hawk he will bring you more joy
than you can imagine! He is being fostered in Virginia Beach, VA. If you’d like to meet him, please fill out the adoption application.
Rambo
Rambo is a sweet, energetic neutered male GSP who is ready for his new family. His original family loved him very much – and Rambo especially loved the children in the family
– but the parents’ work schedules got so busy that they didn’t have time for Rambo and felt it
best to find another home for him.
Rambo shares his foster home with other dogs, as well as children, and he loves a good, long
game of fetch. So get the Chuck-It out! Rambo also likes walks and runs, so dust off those
sneakers. While his foster family was out of town, a temp foster watched him for a week and
they said he was a joy to have. He got along fine with their two dogs.
He went through training at Delmarva K9 in Maryland as a young dog. He has good recall,
knows basic commands, is crate and house trained, and walks well on a prong collar. His foster mom runs with him 6 miles a day and he loves the engagement with his person.
Rambo would love to find his forever family who will give him the time and love he deserves. He is a fantastic dog who deserves his own family. He is being fostered in Severna Park, MD. If you’d like to meet him, please fill out the adoption application.
Scout
Scout is an eight year old, neutered male GSP weighing 54 lbs. He is a very sweet natured boy with a gentle soul. We first met Scout 6 yrs ago when we pulled him from the Henrico Shelter in VA. He can be a little shy with loud noises but is adjusting in his foster home.
Scout knows sit, stay, shake, down and is crate and house trained. He will go in and out of his crate freely during the day or lounge on his dog bed as well. Scout loves any opportunity to go for car rides and is very well behaved in the car. He gets along well with other dogs, but we do not know how he would be around cats. He does have a strong prey drive. He currently resides with 2 other GSPs in his foster home.
Scout would be a wonderful addition to a family who is looking for a loving, loyal, affectionate and obedient dog. If you would like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application.
Oakley
Lucy
Lucy is a 4 yr old spayed female GSP. She is house trained and crate trained. She is good with cats and horses, however we are looking for a home where she can be the only dog as recently she has started scuffling with her GSP sister.
She is trained to a GPS efence system and does well on a 17 acre farm with that. We prefer no young children as Lucy is 65 lbs and a strong girl. Teenagers and older would be best.
Lucy would love an active family, one that takes her on adventures and mentally engages her. Agility, dock diving, etc would be great outlets for her, she is looking for a job. Even doing advanced obedience with her would allow her to mentally engage and build a relationship with a new owner.
Many of the pictures are Lucy with her GSP sister, she is the darker roan dog with the wider blaze.
She currently resides in the Arnold, MD area. If you would like to meet her, please fill out an adoption application.
Maggie
Maggie is a 2 yr old female GSP weighing 40 lbs, the perfect size package. She is up to date on vaccines and house and crate trained.
Maggie loves to swim, so if you have access to water, she is your new water buddy. You don’t need to have a pool, but if you do, Maggie will be in it. Maggie is on Dasuquin w/MSM as in the summer of 2023 she was hit by a car and had surgery, the Dasuquin keeps arthritis at bay after joint surgery. She is totally healed from surgery, runs as fast as any dog in my house and has zero restrictions on activity. If you have a dog door – bonus, Maggie knows how to use one and does so frequently. She does need a large enough yard to run in, mobility is key for Maggie.
Maggie is sweet as pie, she loves all people and dogs she meets. She can destroy most toys, so only the toughest ones for this little girl. Her one lingering effect from the accident is while she sleeps, she leaks urine. Taking Incurin has lessened the amount of leaking, but has not yet totally stopped it. Two things, Maggie has been taught “place” and she will sleep on a raised dog bed overnight in your bedroom or she can also be crated overnight, whichever you decide, just place “chucks” down wherever she is sleeping to catch the urine leakage. We simply toss them in the washing machine each morning.
This little girl is a perfect size and has an A1 personality. She 100% makes up for any injury she has had. This one is a gem. If you’d like to meet her, please fill out an Adoption application.
Fritz
This beautiful 3.5 yr old male hails from Romania. Weighing in at 70lbs and
standing 27 inches at the withers, Fritz is a gentle giant.
He’s dog-friendly and enjoys the company of his canine pals and is being fostered with a male GSP and a Coonhound. However, Fritz prefers to dine solo and would appreciate his own space during mealtime. We always recommend separating dogs for meal time, either feed in a crate or a separate room.
Fritz is a big lover with a heart full of affection for both adults and kids. He
is well-behaved indoors and stays off the furniture. But be warned, he’s a
bit of a counter surfer, so you might need to keep an eye on any tasty treats
left unattended.
While he hasn’t had any hunting experience his prey drive is strong, and he
would need a home without cats.
He’s crate trained, e-collar trained, walks nicely on a leash, great in the car
and knows his basic commands. Making him a well-behaved companion
both at home and on the go.
Pabst
Pabst is an approximately 3 year old male GSP weighing in at 65lbs. Pabst was given away at a bar in Florida. His current owners love him very much, but unfortunately he does not seem to be getting along with the male coonhound in their home. He does do perfectly fine with the female dogs!
Pabst is a typical GSP, he has energy for days and has already started on his dog sport journey. Pabst has an AKC PAL number so he can compete in AKC events. He has his novice title in dock diving and has entered a few FastCat competitions. This dog loves to compete and while he is fast, dock diving is his absolute favorite!
Pabst lives with kids as young as one and as old as three, so he is toddler approved! He is very gentle with the kids in his house, and enjoys hanging out with them. Pabst is crate trained and house broken. He has excellent house manners. Pabst has terrific recall and would be good in 4ft fencing.

She is good in 4ft fencing, house broken and crate trained. She likes her crate and knows that it is her space. During the day she likes to have the option to come in and out and be with her family. She sleeps in her crate at night and is fine all night as long as a nightlight is left on for her.

Moxie loves to be near her people, whether it’s cuddling up or following you around the house. She is smart and eager to please. She is very friendly and is always happy to meet new people.
In the car, Moxie should be secured or crated for transport as she wants to be in someone’s lap.

She is in Annandale, VA, if interested, please fill out the adoption application.
Buster – adopted
Meet Buster! This guy is an 18 month old , 56 lbs and is sweet as pie. He is being fostered with another male GSP and does great with him, they like to run around and play in the yard. Buster’s temperament is A+, he just has the best personality.
This boy LOVES to play fetch, a ball is his favorite fetch toy. He is an active boy but will settle when he comes indoors. He sleeps well through the night in a crate. He enjoys a good chew on bones and the Kong toy. He is decent on a leash and gets better each day. He is not a resource guarder and is food motivated for training.
Buster is simply a sweet and affectionate dog that will be a perfect fit for an active person or family. He has been good around all kids and people his foster mom has had him around. In playing with other dogs he can be a little overzealous and mouthy as he has puppy tendencies. He enjoys a good snuggle in the evening and is not hardheaded like many Pointers.
Buster is in Richmond, VA. If you’d like to meet him, please fill out the adoption application.
Joey – adopted
Joey is a 2 yr old (5/11/2022 bday) neutered male liver roan GSP weighing around 70lbs. Joey is house trained and rescue has been successful at crate training him. We feed him in the crate and he gets all treats in it, keeping the crate a positive for Joey. Joey does great outdoors with other dogs, but in the home he can be a bit jealous over attention. He is being fostered with another dog in rescue, and we have been utilizing his commands to manage his behavior. He knows sit, down, place, come and heel. He is remote collar trained. A good dog for Joey would be a laid back dog, and picking up toys for at least a month would make the transition successful.
Joey would love a home where someone works from home or someone is home more often than not. A full workday in a crate is probably not best for him, he does love going to doggie daycare if that is an option for someone. Joey has learned to swim since coming into rescue and he enjoys doing that if its available.
Joey has had formal training at Sit Means Sit, which entails a remote collar. Sit Means Sit offers lifetime training for the dog. We encourage any adopter to access this free training for him.
Joey is in Easton, MD. If you’d like to meet him, please fill out the adoption application.
Ranger – adopted
Ranger is a confident, loyal, energetic and adventure loving 2yo neutered 60lb GSP. He is house and crate trained, utd on all vaccines and on heartworm, flea and tick preventatives.
Ranger will be most successful in an active household as he loves to be outside, play, hike and watch the birds. Watch birds, as in, he does have a HIGH drive for birds and small animals (squirrels, rabbits). He is full of energy but can turn it off inside as fast as he turns it on.
He is a quick learner and picks up on training cues with little to no delay but hasn’t had much formal training, so he is still learning. He is learning to understand boundaries in the home like staying away from food on lower surfaces, out of the kitchen, being and staying on a “place” or designated spot when his meals are being prepped, and not jumping to greet people.
He is not a fan of his paws being handled so needs work to allow for routine nail clipping, especially since he likes to communicate with his paws for human and dog interactions. In the home, he also does tend to follow his humans around the house. He will bark alert when meeting new people or when hearing sudden new noises although he takes redirect well.
He needs further training work to be good on heel. He can get overstimulated in his environment when he sees critters. He has not tried to jump the 5ft fence in his foster home. So far, he has not shown any interest in swimming. When taken to our local creek, he would walk through the shallow parts of the water without issues/nervousness but didn’t necessarily show drive to play or wade in it. Ranger loves a good squeaky, tough toy or tug but needs reminders to not mouth when he gets really excited playing.
We have socialized Ranger quickly with other dogs from 35lb to his size and both genders without issue as he takes cues from other dogs well.
Overall, this daddy Long Legs loves to cuddle and play. He is very sweet, goofy friendly guy and will one day make a great family dog, especially if it’s a family that bird hunts! He currently resides in Hockessin, DE. If you would like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application.
