Story
We adopted Maxine from the Lancaster animal shelter in July 2022. She was 7 months old and knew basic commands like sit. She was very friendly during our first meeting, and that has remained true since we've brought her home. She is full of energy and loves to chase after just about anything. Max recently got out of our fenced backyard (accidentally) and chased after - and bit - another dog that was walking nearby. While we have never seen this behavior from her in the past, with two young children at home, keeping her is not feasible. She would do well in a home where she’s the only dog, with an owner/owners who love and appreciate her energy!

Story
I have Hendrix since he was a puppy and he will turn 7 on September 6 of this year. Hendrix is very sweet, full of energy and loves to play catch with his ball. He is very good with kids though he likes his personal space. Hendrix does suffer from seizures and is on medication for it and he is doing really well with it. Hendrix is house trained. Unfortunately, due to my work travel schedule, I am not able to stay to provide the care for him as I used to and I am looking for a comfortable home for him that he can be welcomed in.

Story
His name is Brownie. He is 2 years old. And weighs about 15 lbs. He is a well trained house dog and knows his basic commands. He is trained to pee and poo into a pee tray. He is neutered with all vaccines that are up to date including flea medication. He is also microchipped. He is a healthy dog! My sister had puppies and gifted me Brownie and then I had a baby. So his family is part of my family. I’m looking for someone who can give brownie the love and attention he needs like we used to before we had a baby. He needs someone who can take him on frequent walks. We simply haven’t had the time to give him the attention he needs. He’s a very good obedient dog and is very energetic and sweet. He is also great with smaller children.

Story
Hi, my name is Stoney. I am roughly 1 year old. I was found by my foster parents at a nearby park. I had no collar and not microchipped. I was very thin when found and am slowly gaining weight again! I am house-trained. I have a roommate and we get along but not sure howd I do if I had new roommate. I prefer to rest while at home and chase after a ball while out of the house. I am not leash-trained just yet but with the right parents who have time and patience, I'll learn! I love to snuggle with my foster parents and I like to be silly with my roommate. I'm not a fan of other dogs while on leash, I feel threatened. Once I'm off-leash in a gated area, I don't care about other dogs. I just want to play with my ball and do not like sharing. I prefer being outdoors so my forever home would need some space for me to spend outdoors. I need a forever home that is patient with me because I understand basic commands but was lost/abandoned at a young age that I still have lots to learn.
