Story
MEET DIVA!STATS: 1 year old, spayed, Black Akita MixAFFECTION/ENERGY LEVEL: I am the type of pup that is down for ANYTHING! I have great energy and I am always on the move! I am constantly in motion, whether it is playing outside with my dog friends, going on enthusiastic sniff-filled walks, or just looking up at you and smiling. I am always excited for whatever the next adventure is! While I bring the most bubbly energy to the table, I am also super affectionate and will snuggle my way into your heart. I am so ready to be your new best friend!WHAT I LOVE: I LOVE to PLAY! I am an expert at fetch, so you better get your arm stretches in. I am very dog friendly and a total socialite, so I will make sure we are the life of the party at whatever function we attend. My social side is just one of my many incredible attributes, my smile is another - I am always flashing my pearly white grin. When I look at you, you can just feel the love!KIDS: I haven`t been formally tested with kids, but my shelter family believes I would be good with older kids who understand my energy level and respect my space! I love to leap and bound around, so kids that I can`t accidentally knock over would be ideal!OTHER DOGS: I`m SUPER dog-friendly and enjoy the company of other dogs! I go to playgroup here at the shelter! I am also one of the pups the shelter uses to temperament test other dogs, so I have to be on my best behavior!CATS: UnknownHER MATCH: I would be perfect for a family that likes to stay active, but snuggle hard during downtime. Once I get some of my young pup energy out, I am ready to crash for a dog-nap. When I love, I love you with my whole heart – you can just see it in my eyes!SPECIAL NOTE: My shelter family jokes that I am a Heinz 57 blend of dogs! They aren`t quite sure what mix I am, but whatever it is made one absolutely wonderful girl!Complete an online application and get pre-approved to adopt at https://www.cognitoforms.com/YorkCountyAnimalControl/PetAdoptionSurvey.

Story
Meet Molly (formerly known as Miley)! Breed: akita/mix. Age: almost 5 years, approx birthdate 12/22/20. Weight: approx 50lbs. Training: crate, leash, and house trained. She knows basic commands. Good with other dogs/cats? Yes, she does great with other dogs. No cats. Good with adults/kids? Yes. She is a bit shy/reserved upon first meeting and in new situations, but that doesn't last long. She is very loyal. She does fine with kids but kids 5 and older would be better suited for her playful side! Personality: timid/reserved at first, but she warms up to be playful and affectionate! She loves belly rubs and when you stop, she will paw for more :). She loves to play in the kiddie pools during the summer. Reason for rescue: originally, Molly came into rescue as part of an accidental litter. She was adopted in 2021 and returned due to owners losing their home. Molly is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations and preventatives. If interested in adding this sweet baby to your family, please message for an adoption application! Adoption fee: $75.December 9, 2025, 10:25 am

Story
******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. ___ Meet Celine Dion – a stunning 4-year-old Greyhound/Lab mix with a personality as big as her name! Weighing in around 58 pounds, Celine was rescued from the euthanasia list at a Houston shelter and has been thriving ever since in her loving foster home in North Carolina. She’s spayed, healthy, and available for out-of-state adoption once matched with an approved adopter—transport can be arranged to bring this superstar home to you! Celine is joyful, curious, and always ready for fun. She brings a playful spark wherever she goes—whether it’s romping in the yard with dog friends, chasing her favorite toy, or exploring new places. Her ideal playmates are other large dogs who enjoy an energetic buddy and don’t mind a little bounce in their step. She’d also be perfectly happy as the center of attention in a home where she can get plenty of activity and enrichment. This sweet girl is making great strides with her leash manners and training. She’s crate trained, housebroken, and settles quickly after an initial burst of excitement when it’s time for a walk. She’s eager to please and motivated by treats, which makes her a fun and responsive learner. Celine adores people and has done wonderfully around her foster’s 12-year-old child. She gets so excited to say hello that she sometimes forgets her size—but she’s learning to greet people more gently and is improving every day. Because of her enthusiasm, we recommend a home with kids over 10 who are comfortable around playful, happy dogs. She’s respectful with toys and food, shows no guarding behavior, and enjoys being near her humans for affection, praise, and snuggles. In the car, she may pant at first, but she’s gaining confidence with each ride—and a few more adventures will help her become a travel pro. Celine would thrive in an active home with room to stretch her legs, regular walks, and loving guidance to help her keep growing into her best self. Whether she’s your one-and-only or joins a friendly pack, she’s ready to fill your days with laughter, companionship, and love. Ready to be serenaded daily with joy and tail wags? Celine Dion is waiting to steal your heart. ___ ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?
