Allentown, PA
Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Buttercup and her sister, Bubbles were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own. Their mom is a long-haired Chihuahua and their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd last year so they are now a year old. Buttercup has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs about 6 pounds and is full grown now. She is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Buttercup is a little shy at first, and she definitely tries to boss her sister around, but they really love each other! She and Buttercup are very bonded and we would very much like to get them a home together. They are so funny together! They play and run zoomies around the house. They would do well with older children and we have not had them around cats but we feel like they would be fine with proper introduction. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug along with her sister, their forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Buzzette! Buzzette is a gentle senior girl who takes in the world at her own pace. With her limited eyesight, she can be a bit cautious at first, preferring to quietly observe and carefully sniff things out before fully settling in. With time and patience, you can see her begin to relax and grow more comfortable. Once she starts to feel comfortable, her body softens and her confidence slowly builds. She’s looking for a peaceful home with a patient adopter who will help guide her and respect her pace as she navigates the world. Buzzette is the kind of dog who forms a meaningful bond, and for the right person, that connection will be incredibly special. Our senior adoption fee is $200 (not including tax) which includes each animal fixed, up to date on core vaccines, microchipped, kept on monthly preventions, and dewormed. If you are interested in adopting any of our animals please fill out an application on our website lastchanceranch.org. 🏠Last Chance Ranch 📍10 Beck Road, Quakertown, PA ⭐️PA Kennel License #4518

Story
Jax is a dog who forms strong bonds with his people outside of his kennel. Once he’s out and comfortable, he’s friendly, social, and loves attention, seeking out closeness and interaction with his handlers at the Ranch. Jax can be more sensitive in confined spaces, especially around his kennel, and may become defensive when approached there. He has shown similar guarding behaviors around food, toys, and spaces, so he’ll need an experienced adopter who understands how to manage and work through these behaviors. Because of this, Jax is looking for an adult only home with someone who can provide structure, clear boundaries, and a predictable routine. He’ll do best with a handler who is comfortable reading dog body language and continuing positive training. With the right setup, Jax is a deeply loyal, affectionate companion who will form a close connection with his person and thrive in a home that understands his needs. Our adult adoption fee is $350 (not including tax) which includes each animal fixed, up to date on core vaccines, microchipped, kept on monthly preventions, and dewormed. If you are interested in adopting any of our animals please fill out an application on our website lastchanceranch.org. 🏠Last Chance Ranch 📍10 Beck Road, Quakertown, PA ⭐️PA Kennel License #4518
