Story
Available at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Birdsboro Pa 19508, KL#1257 Benji boy here and ready to find the best home to spoil me rotten. The staff here at the ARL thinks I deserve nothing but the best since I came from a situation that wasn't really the best, but I've flourished here and now know that people are to be loved on and not feared. I'm a sweet little guy, but might take some time to warm up to you. I promise once we get to know each other though that I'll be your little Swedish meatball! I love being with people and get the zoomies when I'm really excited. Since I'm a big goof who can sometimes forget how rough and crazy I am at times, a home without kiddos might be best. Bring the whole family, dogs included, today and let me show you my awesome zoomies and big kisses! Please meet me M-F 1pm-4:30pm and Sat-Sun 12pm- 4:30pm!

Story
I'm free to adopt thanks to a generous donor! Hey there, I'm Annie, a charming grey-faced sweetheart on a quest to find my forever home! When it comes to people, I'm an absolute lovebug who craves affection and enjoys being in close proximity. I thrive on attention and would be overjoyed to have all your love and care to myself. I must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of other animals, so I would prefer to be the only furry friend in the household. Apart from cuddling up with you, I also relish going on leisurely walks and snuggling up in cozy, oversized beds. If you're intrigued and would like to meet me, why not pay a visit to the shelter today? I can't wait to meet my perfect match!

Story
Woofgang Amadogus Mozbark! OR Woofgang for short, is a very sweet little pittie boy looking for his forever home. Woofgang is a big shy when he first meets new people, but he warms up quickly! He has met some dogs here at the shelter and was really loose and wiggly and happy to see them. Because he is so nervous, we do recommend children over 8 in the home so they can read his signs and understand when he is uncomfortable. If you can't get enough of this sweet face, come to the ARL today and adopt Woofgang! Available at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Birdsboro Pa 19508, KL#1257

Story
Phantom's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor! Hey there, I'm Phantom, and I'm here to bring some laughter and love into your life! At 3 years old, I've mastered the art of being a funny guy. I can be incredibly friendly once I get to know you, but sometimes I give off mixed signals when I'm feeling unsure or in new situations. You'll notice my body language can be a bit tricky to read-I might go from loose and wiggly to stiff quite quickly. It's just my way of figuring things out! Despite my quirks, I do know how to sit like a champ, and I absolutely adore getting my back scratched. It's my little slice of heaven! Currently, I'm dealing with some skin issues that are being treated, but that doesn't dampen my spirit. When it comes to other dogs, I'd prefer to meet them first to see if we hit it off. A low-key canine companion who respects my space would be ideal for me. As for cats, well, let's just say we wouldn't be the best of friends. Due to my nervous behavior, I'd thrive best in a home with older children, aged 12 and up, who can understand and respect my need for patience and calm. It's also important that the whole family comes to meet me so we can make sure we're a perfect match. If you're looking for a lovable, quirky companion who will keep you entertained and love you fiercely once we're comfortable together, then I'm your guy, Phantom! Come meet me and let's see if we can start our journey together. Available at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Birdsboro Pa 19508, KL#1257

Story
This handsome man is a very good boy who is looking for a home with some patience. From what we know he was mainly kept in a crate for the majority of his time in his previous home so he can be a little shy with people till he trusts you, but food is the way to his heart. He also loves playing fetch, on his terms, aka finders keepers. Despite being crate trained, he is house trained and knows how to sit and give paw. So if you are looking for a dog who loves activities and finding himself in this world then come meet Maverick today!

Story
Meet Sour Patch, a spirited male Malinois with a big heart and an even bigger personality! This playful knucklehead is ready for a home where he can thrive with a bit of training and socializing. Sour Patch is incredibly smart and eager to learn; with some time and patience, he'll be a well-mannered companion. He's an energetic pup who loves to play, explore, and go on long hikes. While he may pull on the leash at times, he responds well to treats and is quick to learn how to walk nicely. Sour Patch has a friendly demeanor and just needs an owner who can set boundaries and bond with him through positive reinforcement. Though he might come on strong with his playful antics, he's capable of respecting the space of other dogs once he understands their cues. If you're looking for a loving and energetic companion who's ready to bring joy and adventure to your life, Sour Patch could be the perfect match for you.
