White Haven, PA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Luna is a 5-year-old German Shepherd who’s incredibly sweet, playful, and loving with the people she knows and trusts. Once she bonds with you, she’s a devoted companion who will brighten your days with her happy and playful nature. However, Luna needs a patient and understanding adopter. She’s territorial and hasn’t been socialized with new people, so she can be aggressive toward strangers, especially in her space. She has bitten when scared, so she’ll do best with someone experienced and willing to help her build trust. Luna thrives in a quiet home with no small kids or other pets. A slow introduction in a neutral space will help her get comfortable. With time, structure, and love, Luna will be an amazing, loyal companion for the right person. If you think you can give her the understanding and care she needs, I’d love to introduce you to this sweet girl and help her find her perfect home.

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 5 mos

South Abington Township, PA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 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
