Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Do you like a handsome shaggy dog with some serious character?  Do you love senior dogs?  Buddy may be the guy for you! He is a 13-year-old Lhasa with 23 pounds of more or less equal parts sweet and spunk.  His elderly owner was no longer able to care for him and his canine 'sister' (Malva) and they came to one of our foster families.  His 8 year old sister was adopted and Buddy is doing OK with the other little dogs in his foster home for company.   His hearing isnt great, he sleeps a lot, and with typical Lhasa-tude, he can be grouchy and grumbly sometimes, but does enjoy a belly rub from time to time. He'll let you know when.Buddy is available for adoption or for a sponsorship arrangement where Haven to Home maintains ownership and covers all costs for the remainder of Buddy's life.  Please contact haventohome if you would be interested in offering Buddy a loving home for his lifetime.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Lily Kim! Lily Kim is a sweet and affectionate 5-year-old Black & Silver Schnauzer who is looking for a loving forever home. Recently relinquished by a breeder, she is adjusting to home life and forming deep bonds with her foster mom. Lily thrives on companionship and would do best if her owner is not gone for long periods. Lily gets along well with other dogs but prefers a calm and respectful canine companion—she’s not afraid to set boundaries if things get overwhelming. She knows how to use a doggie door and is making great progress with her house manners. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and recently had a dental cleaning. She is also on monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention to keep her healthy. Lily Kim would be happiest in a home with another friendly dog and/or an attentive person who can provide the love and security she craves. Could you be the perfect match for this sweet girl? &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143   4o Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Piper T, a sweet Chihuahua Mix with a heart as big as her cuddles! This little squirrel watcher loves to curl up with her human on the Lazy Boy or snuggle in bed for cozy nights. Housetrained, spayed, and up to date on all her vaccines, she’s ready to find her forever home. When meeting new people, Piper is cautious and a bit protective of her human, but is slowly learning to trust.  This is likely due to insecurities. Though she’s had lots of love from a family since she was a small puppy, Piper is looking for a new home due to a child's severe allergies.  Piper T is has been a loyal companion, always there for cuddle time and watching the world go by. She’s spayed, up to date with vaccines and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, so she’s all set for her next adventure. Could you be the perfect match for this little lovebug?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Pawla, the 2-year-old Border Collie with all the charm and a dash of mischief! This lovable goofball was a stray who never got claimed, but she’s living her best life in foster care now, just waiting to meet her forever family. Pawla is the epitome of sweet—no aggression, no resource guarding, and she won’t jump on you (we're looking at you, every dog who does that!). She’s crate-trained, knows sit, shake, stay, and even how to speak (but don’t worry, she’s not giving you a TED talk just yet). She’s a cuddle queen, loves being in bed or on your lap, and will take treats like a lady. But, of course, Pawla’s got a few quirks! She’s still working on house training (but she’s a fast learner, promise), and she's a super chewer—think of her as your personal toy tester. Pawla IS NOT GOOD with cats.   As for her recall... let’s just say if she’s busy doing something, she’s in the zone and you might as well be invisible. Also, she’s a little paw-happy when it comes to attention and might paw at your face or lick you like she’s auditioning for a role in 'Dog Gone Wild.' Pawla isn’t exactly a toddler’s best friend (she might accidentally knock them over with love), but if you’re looking for a high-energy, cuddle-loving, quirky dog who’ll never leave your lap empty, she’s the one!    Pawla is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sandy is a 7-year-old Sheepadoodle with a heart as big as her fluffy paws. She is, without a doubt, one of the sweetest dogs her foster mom has ever met. Sandy adores being close to her favorite humans, always seeking out pets, snuggles, and companionship throughout the day and evening. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has shown no prey drive, making her a great candidate for a home with a feline friend. As a retired breeder, Sandy is experiencing home life for the first time, and she’s adjusting beautifully—though she can still be a little shy with new experiences. She’s working diligently on her house-training skills and would thrive with a patient family committed to helping her succeed. When Sandy arrived at Haven to Home, she was severely matted and needed a drastic groom for her comfort and health. Once her coat grows back, she’ll be absolutely adorable! Regular grooming will be essential to keep her looking and feeling her best. This gentle girl is a dream on a leash, walking right by your side and looking to her handler for guidance. Sandy is scheduled to be spayed in early February and will be ready for her forever home by February 12th. If you're searching for a loving, affectionate companion, Sandy might be the perfect match for you!Sandy is up to date with vaccines, and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention.  She is being fostered near Sunbury, PA.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.
