Story
Looking for the perfect adventure buddy with some of the cutest radar ears you have ever seen? Our sweet Toby has completed his professional training and is ready to go on all of the adventures with his forever family! Toby is a 4-year-old, 52 lb shepherd mix. He is a super smart guy and loves affection from his people. Toby enjoys meeting new people and has lived with children in the past. Older children living in his forever home are recommended at this time to give him a better chance of success in his new home, but he has been around smaller children and is good with them. Toby gets along with dogs but can be dog selective. He tends to be more dominant in his play with other dogs, so very submissive dogs are not recommended for him to live with. Cats are unknown.  An active family is recommended for Toby to give him the enrichment and exercise he needs to be his best self. Throughout his professional training with Gypsy K9 Solutions he has learned so much, so will be the perfect dog to take hiking and out and about with amazing manners. He came to Gypsy K9 with some guarding behaviors but has learned the release command and has been doing amazing! An owner who is a strong pack leader and will continue the training that he has learned will set him up for the most success in his new home.  Toby is house and crate trained, he can also be trusted outside of the crate when home alone. He is neutered up to date on vaccines and preventatives, as well as a heartworm survivor, now negative! Toby is hanging out with our friends at Gypsy K9 Solutions in Gettysburg, PA! Apply today! Once approved you can meet this awesome guy, and he can show off all his cool new skills he has learned.  New Oxford PA 17350; LIC # 9736 We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers.

Story
Looking for a big, beautiful love bug?! Look no further than Meadow!  Meadow is a 3 year old German Shepherd/Mastiff mix weighing 94 lb. This girl loves people, including kids! However she wants to be the one and only pet in your life. No other dogs/cats in her house, please! She wants all the attention for herself and will be your best friend. She is described as a bit of a “Velcro dog”, always wanting to be at your side. She also loves a good game of fetch! Meadow does require some special care, but nothing difficult, just an extra expense her adopters should be aware of. She is on a prescription for her leaky bladder and anxiety. She also eats Hills Science Diet Sensitive Stomach ID food. Meadow is already house and crate trained and spent 2 weeks at a board and train for professional training where she even received off leash training. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and preventatives and ready to meet you! If Meadow sounds like the right girl for you, apply today!

Story
Are you looking for that best dressed companion going into the holiday season? Sir Fredrickson III is looking sharp in his black and white tuxedo look alike! Fred is a 2 year old mixed breed and loves to please his hoomans. He loves to play with his K9 foster siblings and responds well to their correction if he starts getting too rough and tumble. Fred does fine with kids but at this time we are saying no cats. He is young, playful and strong though, so a home that will teach him about boundaries at first will be most beneficial for his transition. Fred is crate trained, house broken, and very successful with the sit, stay and leave it commands. He has been amazing with learning how not to rush the door and potty trained on a tie out leash so no more standing in the dark or the rain! We are still working on leash walking skills and controlling excitement when greeting people. Fred is also neutered, UTD on vaccines and microchipped. If interested in meeting Fred, he's anxiously awaiting in Carlisle PA! We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers.

August known as Gus is a super playful 9 month old mixed Breed. He has a stunning brindle coat and is a medium energy pup. He loves playing with his foster sister. Gus is housebroken, crate trained, and good with children. He would do best with medium to large dogs because he can be rough playing with little dogs. Gus is neutered and UTD on his vaccinations.
