Story
I got Franco from Lancaster spca. He is my best friend and has gotten me through hard times in my life. I love him dearly and want him to live a more fulfilling life than I can provide for him since having my daughter. Franco would thrive in an environment where he has a fenced in yard with a young ambitious owner. He is rough rowdy and very loyal to me and my girlfriend. He is treat motivated and we've trained him simple commands that he listens to well. That being said I just can't trust him around my 1 year old daughter. He's a big strong boy and I can not potentially put her in harms way.

Story
Skye is wonderful with my 2 year old son and she loves cats but she isn’t nice to my my moms golden retriever and she nips at him and try’s to attack him at meal time. We love her but my mother needs surgery on her arm and she can’t hold Skye back from potentially hurting her senior golden retriever, and I can’t take her because my landlord does not allow us to have any pets. Unfortunately we need to rehome her. Please adopt this beautiful girl! She really is a sweetheart.

Story
This adorable, spunky, silly girl is heartbroken because she has absolutely zero interest from anyone wanting to adopt her. She has now set the record for the longest dog in our foster program. Pachi has been with us for a year and a half and prior to our rescue she had been in a shelter for several months. Pachi is the cutest little dog with the coolest ears. She is much smaller than she appears in her photos. (Under 30lbs). Pachi is a true gem, and we can't explain how lucky her person will be once they find each other. She's shown incredible growth but needs a home with structure and routine to continue to grow. Pachi finds joy in the simple pleasures of life, like chasing a toy or curling up on the couch and loves to share blueberries and bananas for breakfast with her foster mom. Pachi is most comfortable with women but is open to anyone with a soft side. She would do best with an adult-only home, or with older children. Pachi likes to be the center of attention, so no other pets. She is not a fan of felines. Pachi prefers a home with a fenced in yard to run around in. We know that her person/people are out there, but we need your help to find this deserving girl her much deserved forever home. Please share. We would like Pachi to stay within Central PA or if the perfect home is found we would consider someone further away. “Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling the emptiness we didn’t ever know we had.” - Thom Jones

Story
Maeby is a four year old Blue Heeler born on March 13th, 2020. She is a very smart girl and is very loving and protective. She gets along well with our other dogs, however she tends to be reactive towards dogs she does not know well, along with people. Maeby will need someone who is willing to exercise her, ideally someone with a backyard or some land. She is very high energy and requires to be worked physically, as well as mentally. She is such a sweet girl and deserves a home that can give her everything she needs. She tends to be reactive on her walks (lunging at people, cars, and other animals), so she needs someone with patience. When she is not in an environment that overstimulates her, she is the best dog you could ask for. She knows tricks very well and can sit, stay, do paw, lay down and spin :-) If you have any questions regarding Maeby, please reach out!
