Story
Meet Dodger aka Doogie: Doogie is estimated to be about one year old (as of December 2024) and guessed to be a Jack Russell / dachshund mix that weighs about 15 pounds and is long and short. Doogie was pulled from a city shelter into rescue. Doogie is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Doogie is spunky and full of personality. He is loving and enjoys cuddles. Doogie is good with other dogs and is currently in a house with a pack of dog friends. Doogie is crate trained and so close to being fully house trained (his foster says 98% - so close!). We would love for Doogie to have a fenced in yard to run and play freely. Doogie is up to date on his shots and is neutered. If you are interested in giving this low rider a loving home, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. ##2258138##

Story
Meet Rudy. Rudy is about 5 months old and he came to us from a breeder because he has a cloudy left eye. He is a cockapoo puppy and he is a very friendly and social puppy. We had a veterinarian check his eye and make sure it was not glaucoma since cocker spaniels are prone to this issue. His eye pressures are normal and he is not in any pain. He can see through the cloudiness and doesn't need any medication at this time. There is a possibility when he gets older he may need some sort of treatment or it may be fine like this forever. It looks like it could have been an injury or birth defect. Rudy is not bothered by it all and is now looking for his forever home. He is neutered, up to date with vaccines for his age and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400. Rudy weighs 17 lbs at 5 months old but he does have some growing to do yet. If you are interested in adopting Rudy, please visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application.
