Whippet Greyhound

Story
Current Location: Strasburg, VA Estimated date of birth: 7/3/25 Maple is quiet and watchful, taking in the world before deciding how he feels about it. He is still building confidence and does best when following the lead of more confident dogs. He enjoys time in the yard, plays with his littermates, and benefits from predictable routines. Maple is coming around slowly and would greatly benefit from increased one on one human interaction in a settled home. He is not a bold pup, but he is thoughtful and responsive once he feels safe. With time, patience, and gentle guidance, his personality will continue to emerge. Maple’s ideal home is calm and structured, with humans who understand that blossoming takes time. A confident dog companion is strongly preferred, and a fenced yard is recommended to support his safety and confidence. Maple is the kind of pup who will quietly steal your heart once he trusts you.

Whippet Greyhound

Female, 9 mos
York, PA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Current Location: Strasburg, VA Estimated date of birth: 7/3/25 Harvest is a gentle soul who wants connection but does not yet trust the process. She will come to her foster mom readily for petting but will be wary when meeting new people. Eventually she will come to you for chin and face scratches, which feels like a big win for her, and she will tolerate calm petting along her sides and back once she feels settled. She moves confidently between the kennel and the fenced yard and does her pottying outside like a champ. She also enjoys playing with her littermates and clearly draws comfort from their presence. That said, Harvest is still fearful of close human approach. If you walk directly toward her, she will circle away inside the pen. Being picked up scares her and she may squeal and potentially snap defensively if forced. For safety, gloves are required for any necessary handling such as crating for vet visits. She is not leash trained yet and will need time before that step is introduced. Harvest requires a fully fenced yard and a calm, patient home. A confident resident dog would help her tremendously. She is a flight risk and needs adopters who understand that progress comes through consistency and calm presence, not force. Harvest is not ready for chaos, but she is ready for the right person.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ada was adopted in 12/2020 from a rescue shelter. She was estimated to be around 1 year at the time and had at least 1 litter of puppies by then. Her past has caused her to have some mild anxiety, but when familiar people are around, she's calm. She's a great companion for hikes and while she's good with other dogs, she does tend to bark at them while on walks. She's great with kids, but is generally timid around unfamiliar people. Highly food motivated, very trainable, and has good recall. She prefers to sleep in your bed, but is fine to sleep in her own bed as long as it's in the same room. Fenced-in yard is a must. She's licensed, up to date with her rabies shots, and has been routinely tested for heartworm. She hasn't had a routine dose of flea/tick/heartworm meds and she doesn't have several shots other than rabies and distemper. She's fed gently cooked food and we'll provide enough supply to transition her to another food if desired. We can provide a dog bed, leash, and collar.

These pups are in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania too!

Story
Hey there, I’m Gus, a handsome guy with a short, to the point name that means “Exalted” or “Great One”!  It’s sweet yet the embodiment of power and royalty.  Taken in by Molly’s Place with my ma and bro, I have been waiting for a chance for a furever home. Ma, said to be a sharp looking possibly PURE Basenji, and dad, well, mom never said, but said to have been a hansom dude, so this apple didn’t fall far from the tree. I’m really have a handsome pooch if I do say so myself. Decked out in a Glistening Brindle fur mix of browns, chestnut and black, my coat is short, face ever so sweet, cute ears, set off by my soulful golden eyes.   Although initially shy, I do warm up and am great with other doggies. Fast moving children scare me so best if no children in my home. Once settled in and confident, I’ll bring SUNSHINE into your life with my playful charm and goofy character. Although I’m NOT a wild child, I do need some exercise and a 4 foot fence would suit my just fine giving me initial boundaries. If you have it in your heart to reach out to a boy that only needs a chance to prove what love is, get going, fill out an application and come meet up with me.

Story
Sly’s my name and having fun is my game! Need I say more? Four years of age, weighing about 55 lbs.  I’ve got PERSONALTY FROM TIP OF MY TAIL TO THE STRIP UP MY NOSE!  It’s just takes a little while for my true personality to shine through.   Taken in by Molly’s Place, my bro Gus and I have been waiting for a chance for our furever home. Mom came in with us and was for sure a sharp looking possibly PURE Basenji. Fortunately, she has already gotten a home. Dad, well, mom never say, but he had to have been a hansom dude as well. Yep, good looks run in the family!   Although initially shy, I do slowly warm up and am great with other doggies. Fast moving children scare me so best if no children in my home. Once settled in and confident, my fun loving yet gentle demeanor shines though. I do need some exercise and a 4 foot fence would suit my just fine giving me initial boundaries and safety. I could be a single kind a guy or another dogs best buddy! No problem. If you have it in your heart to reach out to a little boy that only needs a chance to prove what love is, get going, fill out an application, lets meet. I'm eager to please with so much love to give.
