Story
Hi. My name is Lucky and I need to find my new home. I am approx. 12-13 yrs. old and weigh 37 lbs. I was surrendered to Penny Angels Beagle Rescue (PABR) almost 1 year ago and recently had surgery to remove a mammary tumor and another growth near my back end. I was such a good girl at the veterinary office. Now that my staples are removed and I am healing nicely, I can start my forever home search. I am spayed and up-to-date with my vaccinations. I have been using a doggie door in Rescue during the day. I will need to learn new rules in your home. I don’t look very happy in my photo, but PABR says that I am a happy girl with a nice disposition. I get along fine with other dogs. I have been in Rescue too long and need to quickly find a home where I will be loved forever. Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If you are interested in adopting Lucky, please fill out an application and submit it to Penny Angels Beagle Rescue. Her adoption fee is $225, cash or check. The application is available at www.pennyangelsbeaglerescue.com. If your application is approved, you will be contacted by email or phone. PABR will let you know a date and time for your adoption. If you have any questions, contact beagler534@comcast.net AND emnase@aol.com, or call Penny Angels Beagle Rescue at 609-965-9476. Thank you!

Story
Patches is energetic and needs an active person or family. He is lovable and playful, but a bit hyper. He does like to bark. I have health issues and can not provide him with enough playtime and stimulation. I rescued him from a shelter about a year and a half ago. He will turn 2 in January. He is very well cared for and I have a few months of his monthly flea, tick and heartworm medicine to give to whomever adopts him. I would be happy to provide the name of his vet as well as give you his records. I just want him to be adopted by someone who will give him the love and attention he craves and deserves.

Story
Meadow is a 15 months old girl. Her birthday is 8-15-23. She needs lots of love and attention which we cannot give her. She deserves better than what we can provide for her at this time due to change in our schedules. I am looking for a new home for her that can provide her with the love and attention she deserves. She has lots of toys as we have a monthly chewy subscription her. Also whatever food and treats she has we will give with her as well as whatever supplies we have that her new owner will need.

Pit Bull Terrier

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kai came to us as part of a cruelty investigation by ACPD and ACPO. He came to us starved, body score 1/9. He had a loving home for much of his life but fell on hard times when his owner died. Fortunately, with police intervention, he was rescued and came to our shelter for care and re-homing. He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and fully vaccinated now. Kai is a good boy. Easy to be around, however, he is dog selective, so we recommend that he be the only dog in the home. We also recommend a home with no small children. Kai is pretty good on a leash and knows basic commands. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Age: 7yrs 6mths 3wks
