Story

Hi!My name is Kane. I’ve been at the shelter for quite some time now, and I’d really like to find a home of my own. I have my own room here and the staff and volunteers love me, but it’s not the same as being with a loving family of my own. I promise I’m a good boy. I love my people. I’m afraid of going outside, but we’re working on it, and I’ll come around.I’m a little pocket pup. I’m pretty small, but I’m totally cute, so that’s covered. I come with some training techniques on making me more comfortable outside, and all of my balls go wherever I go. Oh yeah, did I mention I love tennis balls? They’re my favorite. They pretty much keep me preoccupied. Sometimes I forget they’re in my mouth. The staff will walk by my room and catch me snoozing away with the ball still sitting in my mouth, just like it is in this picture. Yup, that’s me. I’m the tennis boy at the shelter. I told you I got the cute part covered. I was adopted once and was doing very well until I lost my momma. She loved me very much.I like a very low key home with very few people and distractions.Anyways, enough about me. I want to meet my new family and learn more about YOU! I promise I’ll steal your heart.??Head on over to our website to fill out an application if you’re interested in meeting me. You won’t regret it.To meet me, apply here www.griffinpondanimalshelter.com/adopt

Megg

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 7 yrs 4 mos

South Abington Township, PA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Megg is with us for quite some time since July of 2019 to be exact. We realize that not every dog that comes into the shelter is going to be instantly ready to go directly into a home . Poor Megg was absolutely petrified when she came in . We needed time for her to adjust and so we could could learn what was causing her such distress .She is a great walker but she tends to be shy with new people. She would need a few meet and greets, to establish trust with strangers . Once she is your friend, it is for life. She is adaptable and loving when spending time with people she knows. She can run around and play but really likes petting and relaxing with her people. Would do best as only animal in the home and no children due to her fearfulness.Our staff that have had the most interaction with her say that she has a very sweet nature and loving spirit.Megg is 6 years old and look at how beautiful she is . This girl deserves a forever home and family .She is housebroken, walks perfectly on a leash , takes commands and can be a true best friend. She has been an exceptional dog in her time with us. She would be great with a retired man or woman , or a couple who has time to love on her . If you are interested in meeting Megg , please apply here :Www.griffinpondanimalshelter.com/adopt

Jay Jay

American Pit Bull Terrier

South Abington Township, PA

Size

Details

Story

Meet Jay Jay- aka Rocco! Jay Jay is a loyal boy and he devotes himself to you; he does so with all his heart. He is quite the handsome boy but he is unsure of new people. He would need a patient adopter who wouldn`t mind spending some time to get to know him. Once he trusts you, he is a real cuddle bug who loves to be pet and give kisses. Jay Jay loves to play with his toys (especially tennis balls) and usually has a hilarious goofy look on his face. Jay Jay loves his family but would do best in an adult only household with few visitors. Jay Jay is more than enough love for one family so he prefers not to share your attention with other canines or cats. Jay Jay also loves going for runs and playing in the water. He is very smart and loves to eat from puzzle toys. Come meet this handsome doggie today!

Story

Lucas ???? This majestic looking beauty is 5yrs old. Look at those ears ?? Lucas has spent most of his life in a shelter he celebrated his 5th birthday there. He was saved from euthanasia in an inner city shelter by Griffin Pond Animal Shelter 3 years ago and has been patiently waiting for his forever home. He loves with his whole heart though. He looks at you with hearts in his eyes ?? He needs a strong owner to continue to be the best dog that he is. He listens well to commands and he lives for sticks....well more like branches ???? he loves to just lay in the grass with the biggest branch we can find. He will slobber you in kisses endlessly to show his love. While eating as many treats as he possibly can. This boy lives for treats. He also loves to play again, not aware of his size he would require older children he`s like a bull in a China shop that thinks he`s a lap dog ???? If you are looking for the definition of unconditional love & loyalty Lucas is your guy. He is available for adoption at www.griffinpondanimalshelter.com/adopt #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #thoseearstho

Male, 7 yrs 6 mos

South Abington Township, PA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Peteys adoption fee has been lovingly sponsored 💜“Please give me a second chance at life, Griffin pond saved my life before I was killed for medical reasons at another shelter but now I still sit and wait for a real home day after day. I’m stressed in my kennel, can’t seem to settle in here , I would like a much more docile atmosphere that isn’t so loud.” That’s what I think Petey would say , he breaks my heart every day .. he’s come so far but not close enough to real happiness in a home of his own. He’s a young adult 1-4 year old , he’s had medical issues fixed with a few bumps and bruises left to show that he’s been knocked around a bit in his life. No other dogs , no cats and no kids .He needs to learn to trust people so he would have to meet a potential adopter a few times to feel comfortable with them . A meet and greet would be required. If interested in adopting or fostering please apply if not, PLEASE share !!!Www.griffinpondanimalshelter.com/adopt
