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
Hi I’m Isabella I am a 1 yr old Bully Mix weighing 38 lbs. When I arrived up north 4 months ago I was very timid, shy and submissive. Since I have been up north my foster mom has shown me that I can trust humans again but you must let me come to you when we are introduced. My foster mom babysits a 9 month old boy and I just love him, so I am kid friendly. There are several dogs that come to the house that are all sizes and I love to play with them. I also live with 2 dogs and 1 likes to eat my food and that’s ok. My foster mom says I’m a good girl so I don’t understand why I haven’t found my forever home yet. I do good on car rides. I’m house and crate trained and will sometimes put myself to bed in my crate knowing that I get a special treat at bedtime. I love toys, bones and belly rubs! I am spayed, up to date on shots and vaccines and heart worm negative. I was hoping to find my forever family by Halloween but that didn’t happen. If you think I would be a good fit for your family, I’ll be waiting for you in New Holland PA.

Story
CHUNKY HUNK  Mr. T, aka chunky hunky meatball, has come to PA to find his forever home! He is a big handsome 5 yr old bully mix who weighs approximately 92 pounds, however he is on a diet to lose some pounds. Mr. T is not thrilled about being on a diet because he loves food so much! However being an overweight tripod is tough on the bones so for his best interest he should shed some pounds. Mr. T is a happy go with the flow boy who loves food, bones and doggie friends to hang around with. He does have some skin allergies so his skin isn’t looking the greatest right now. But we are currently working on improving his skin with fish oil, sensitive skin food and OTC allergy medicine. Mr. T is house and crate trained but he is not crated at his foster home and has done great! He is neutered, UTD on vaccines and preventatives. If you have room in your home for this big love bug apply today! Mr. T is currently being fostered in Dillsburg PA.

Story
This gorgeous girl is looking for her “Yahtzee” a forever home to love her through any challenges.  Yahtzee is a 6 year old, 50 lbs Irish Setter mix. She is a sweet, calm girl who loves to lounge on the couch. Yahtzee loves all humans big and small and is very gentle. She is good with other pets and generally disinterested in them. She will sniff other dogs and then mostly ignore them. Yahtzee had had minimal interactions with cats, but has the same disposition with them. Yahtzee is well trained and knows all of her basic commands and has had some advanced obedience training as well. She will walk on the leash in a heel position and enjoys short walks, she also rides well in the car. However when left at home alone, she does suffer from separation anxiety. She will have anxiety whether she is left in a crate or left out of the crate. Her ideal family would be a family willing to work through these problems with her. She is better in calmer environments that don’t have a lot of loud/distracting noises. She has not lived with other pets in the home but this may help her as well. Yahtzee is a sweet, awesome girl just looking for a family to work through these issues so she can give them all her love. Yahtzee is house and crate trained. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. She is currently residing in Harrisburg, PA 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.
