Story
We picked Sadie up from New York State back in May. A mutual friend had a husky who had puppies, and Sadie was a part of that litter. It’s unknown exactly what the father is, for sure some type of Sheppard. Therefor Sadie is more or less a mutt. Sadie is about 7 months old. She did get her puppy vaccines. She’s a great puppy around children, very curious around other pets. Overall a very loving pup, and we just want to do better for her. We can’t provide her the space she needs to be a puppy. Sadie loves to run. She doesn’t run away, but loves to run as fast as she can.

Story
Trooper is a loving dog, but he has some fears. He is scared of going outside and needs a house with a fenced in yard to help him acclimate. He does not like loud noises. He also gets very energetic inside the house and needs to be around children older than 5. He is playful but sometimes too much and does not realize his size when he runs around.

Story
Lincoln is a sweet dog who does not get a long with our other dog and it's not fair to keep them both gated to specific areas of our house. He is about 6.5 years old. Mini-labradoodle. Cream/white super fluffy fur. Loves to play fetch. While he graduated obedience school as a puppy he does not walk on a leash well and will need retrained. Can sit, stay, lay, and shake. While doodles aren't supposed to shed he does as he is a first line. His shots are just out of date. Neutered and microchipped.

Caffrey

American Bulldog

Male, Adult
Narvon, PA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We are looking to re-home Caffrey, our 4yo American Bully. We raised him from birth and he has been an amazing part of our family. But now we have another even more amazing part of our family—a grandson—who will soon be crawling around (and he lives very close by so we happily see him often). Caffrey is incredibly loving, but is a bit like a possessive toddler when it comes to sharing attention—especially mine—and toys, etc. (I don’t think he would ever intentionally hurt the baby but he is definitely a little rough.) He needs an owner who wants a large lap dog who puts up a “guard dog” front. (Ain’t nobody gonna prowl around on your porch, that’s for sure!) He does not need a lot of exercise but likes frequent “sniffy walks” and play tug of war, chew on toys, etc. He does NOT like his nails trimmed, and could probably benefit from calming meds before that procedure.

Finnegan

Australian Shepherd

Wernersville, PA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Finnegan is a sweet boy - well behaved - yet, will be shy at first with new people, but not aggressively so. He always seems to enjoy children & other dogs. Finn has lived with cats in the past & was fine with them, although would not overly interact with them - except to sniff them briefly, as they might walk by. Unfortunately, he has had seizures in the past & now is given meds that have seemed to help greatly! Health concerns are not my reason for giving him up - 'it breaks my heart, to do so' - however, so many places to live at will not allow for pets/dogs especially. Finn has good energy for 10+ years - he's actually at a pretty perfect stage, right now, behavior wise. Even, his potty habits are great, really! Enjoys car rides & he gets around with no problems - and will interact with you, as you interact with him.
