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
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.

Beau
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
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.

Adopted!
Maverick – adopted
Maverick is a sweet and loving 5 year old male GSP. He has been vetted and is on flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. He came into the rescue after his family of 5 years grew and could no longer care for him with the increasing responsibilities of having young children.
Maverick likes walking the neighborhood with his foster family. We use a 6ft leash with a front D ring harness or a prong collar. He does not pull too much, despite being strong. He knows basic commands useful when walking like, “with me,” “leave it” and “come.” He is always interested in squirrels and birds nearby but he will leave it and continue on the walk.
Maverick is fine in 4 foot fencing and is not an escape artist. We use baby gates in the house to confine him to a few rooms on the main floor when we are out. He is not destructive. He could easily get over the 2 foot high gate blocking our stairs, but he doesn’t even try it. Maverick travels like a dream in the car for short and longer (3.5 hour) trips.
Maverick is friendly with all people and does not jump up on them. He does not bark at the mailman or Amazon delivery person. He loves children and lived in a home with a 6 month old and 3 year old before he came into the rescue. He does a sweet excited little hop with his front feet when we come home but he clearly was trained not to jump. He is dog friendly and is enrolled in some group training.
He is not food possessive and knows how to sit and shake for a treat. He takes treats gently and is not an aggressive chewer. He does not destroy stuffed toys, but occasionally pokes a little hole in them. He carries toys around the house proudly and often cannot decide which toy to pick up so he will put two or three in his mouth at once. He loves to play fetch with a hard Kong ball and he will bring it back to you and knows the command “drop it.”
Maverick is not crated when we go out. He does not try to get into trash cans and does not counter surf. He whined initially when we first left but knows the routine now when we go to work or out and settles quickly. He spends his time sleeping on the couch or cool floor and looking out the window. He sits nearby the dinner table when we eat but doesn’t try to get our food or whine. He sleeps through the night in a dog bed next to our bed and knows the command “place.” He tried to get up on the bed once or twice at first, and would love to sleep with his humans, but also knows the command “off” and jumps right down.
Maverick is being fostered in Annandale, VA. If he interests you, please complete an adoption application.
Camp – adopted
Camp is a spunky, sweet, 7 month old liver roan boy. He currently weighs a little over 30lbs, and his foster thinks he’ll be on the smaller side for a male GSP.
As a puppy Camp LOVES to play and annoy the adult dogs in his foster home. Chase is one of his favorite games, and he would love a home with a buddy to play with. Camp loves people of all sizes, but given his age and energy level he would do best in a home with elementary age kids and older.
Camp sleeps well in his crate at night, and crates when his foster family is gone. He only has a little bladder though, so regular potty breaks are a must. Other than the occasional accident in his crate he is house trained. Camp knows his name and sit. His foster mom is working on his counter surfing. He is curious and wants to see and smell everything. He is a shoe thief, so as with any puppy all things that don’t belong in his mouth need to be put away. Camp is a little guy who would love to do all the things with you. He is a great car rider and sidekick.
Camp needs a home prepared to guide him through his puppyhood and adolescence, but he has a great foundation and is a swell little guy.
Camp is fostered in Severna Park, MD.
Oona – adopted
Oona is a 2.5 yr old spayed female GSP. She is house trained and crate trained. She sleeps on a dogbed at night.
She is good with other dogs and children. Oona knows Sit, come, stay, outside, and responds to her name and whistling.
Her family is moving into and apartment and they do not think Oona will be happy with that environment. So we are seeking a home that will actively engage her.
If you are interested in Oona, pls fill out our Application. She is currently located in Vienna, VA.
Millie – adopted
Millie is a 4 yr old spayed female GSP weighing 50 lbs. She is both house and crate trained. She is good with other dogs and children, but not good with cats.
Millie is efence trained and knows basic commands (sit, stay, come). She can get nervous around lots of noise, so perhaps a home with older children would be best. Her owner has some health issues and can no longer keep up with Millie.
If you are interested in Millie, pls fill out our Application. She is currently located in King George, VA.
Sippy – adopted
Sippy the gem. This gal is 2 yrs old and 40 lbs, so a nice little size. She is now spayed and utd on all vaccines, taking monthly heartworm preventative and living her best life.
We heard about Sippy when she was in the Montgomery Co shelter. A neighbor had called them to say a dog was tied in a yard to a tree and seemed to have a hurt leg. Animal Control picked her up and the shelter vet ended up removing her leg due to nerve damage. But Sippy was fairly unaffected, she is one of the most affectionate dogs we have ever had. Extremely social and ready to tackle the world. You’d never know the trauma she has endured.
She is house and crate trained. She is not your typical crazy energy pup, she is calmer and though she won’t be a running partner, she will follow you anywhere. She is fairly easy to walk on a leash. Though she lost a leg, she has not lost the sweetness in her personality.
If you are interested in Sippy, she is currently in Annapolis, MD. If he might be for you, please fill out an 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.
