Story
Can you believe this is the face of a dog that no one wanted? Sir Fredrickson was found as a stray in AL in the fall of 2024 under weight, full of worms and covered in road rash. Since then, he has fully healed physically and emotionally. Fred is an excitable love bug that enjoys going walks, car rides and chewing on bones. He has a big block head and casually throws it in any lap that will accept him for cuddles. When not getting love from hoomans (kids included) he does like playing with the resident dogs. Freds perfect home will not have cats. If you are looking for a companion to start your new year out strong, Fred is your guy! Morning alarm clock- check, accountability partner to move your body every day- check, eat less (because of course we share  )- check. He will be 2 in March and he is currently 65#. Fred is patiently waiting in Carlisle, PA and would love to meet you!

Story
Will the luck of the Irish, help me find my forever soon? Hi! My name is Zeus, & I'm a ~1 year old, ~48lbs, mixed breed dog. Originally I am from Georgia, but traveled to PA in hopes of finding my forever home & a chance to be someone's best friend. I love meeting new folks & if you think we might be good friends I'd love to meet you! First, let me tell you about myself. Food is so yummy! I am really food motivated, which makes training a lot more fun. If you have a yummy treat for me, I'll sit, stay, come for you. I get scared sometimes when I am alone, & foster dad says I still need some work on my puppy manners, but I got this potty training thing down! I also learned that cars are so much fun! It doesn't matter where we go, but I am always excited to sit in the back & go for a ride with my humans. The best home for me, would not have cats. I play well with other dogs, but can be a little rough. Running and wrestling other doggy friends gets me so excited. Human kids are great to cuddle and play with as well. I know they just little, and I love running on the playground with them. As much as I like playing outside, cuddling humans is my other favorite thing to do. My foster mom says I can be a jealous boy sometimes & but I just love to feel like I'm a part of the pack. Currently, I am living with my foster family in Mountville, Pa. It's just right outside Lancaster. Oh and I am already neutered and microchipped. You won't have to ever worry about losing me. So are you interested in adding another member to your family? Please, fill out an application and schedule a meet and greet! I would very much want to find my forever home soon.

Story
Meet Beethoven! This handsome boy came to PA to leave his old life behind and start fresh searching for a new family to call his own! Beethoven is a guesstimated 5 yr old neutered male Saint Bernard mix weighing 126 pounds his vet said he’s at an appropriate weight now! He wont be happy when he cuts back on food  Beethoven loves people (big and small) and dogs however has not been cat tested. Beethoven has had a rough few months. Down south he was found with a bad injury to his paw (all healed now). He was neutered and treated for heartworm. If surviving heartworm wasn’t hard enough he was diagnosed with IMHA and fingerscrossed has beat that too! He has been off prednisone for two weeks and is doing great! Now that he isnt sick and isnt full of steroids we can start to see Beethovens true self! He is certainly a lover and loves scratches. He doesnt know how big he is and will get on your lap for attention. He walks well on a leash but has been reactive (barks) at times when he hears/sees dogs/people. And true to the breed he is stubborn   Have seen some resource guarding here and we are working with him on that. I think it has become less since being off prednisone and once he learns to trust you. He is house and crate trained and up to date on current vaccines and preventatives. For now he will be patiently waiting for his new family in Dillsburg PA.

Story
Meet Little Brother – Your New Best Friend! LB is a handsome 3-year-old, 55 lb, neutered mixed breed looking for his forever home! This sweet and playful pup has the perfect medium energy level—he loves playing with toys, chewing on bones, and hanging out with his people. LB is great with dogs of all sizes and is also kid-friendly. He’s housebroken, crate trained, and knows several commands, including sit, down, come, spin, and shake! While he may be a little shy at first, once he warms up, he’s a happy-go-lucky companion who will bring joy to any home. LB is up to date on all vaccines and is currently being fostered in New Oxford, PA. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving pup to add to your family, LB is the one!

Story
Meet Alabama, A 7-year-old boy weighing 56 lbs. He’s a mixed breed with a calm and well-mannered personality. He’s a big softie and loves to give kisses. He takes treats like a gentleman. Alabama gets along great with other dogs and doesn’t seem to mind the cats in the foster house. He’s a great companion for kids of all ages. He’s house-trained. He hesitates to go in a crate, but he will go in after some coaxing and stay there without any accidents or barking/whining overnight. He’d rather be out with his people, though! He was treated for heartworm and has recovered. He is chipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. Come meet this lovable pup in Grantville, PA.
