Story
Wolfie is a sociable, energetic boy who loves people and enjoys meeting other dogs, though he can be intimidating at first and may need a confident introduction before he settles in. He’s eager to play and he has a playful streak with water hoses that never fails to bring a smile. He weighs 89 pounds and is approximately 3-4 years old.??Wolfie is still learning the leash. He is learning to come when called and sits nicely when prompted. He is a homebody at heart, but he still needs plenty of exercise to burn off his occasional bursts of energy. He also enjoys walks with his humans.??Located in Houston, Texas. Transport to most states available for an additional fee of $300.

Twinkle lived at an Amish Farm in the house; however, the children let her outside and she killed the chickens. So very high prey drive. She loves children, playing in the yard and car rides. She is shy with new people at first but when she warms up to you, you will have companion for life. She knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. Twinkle is located at our Texas Ranch.

Story
I got Maddie as a rescue in OH from a small independent shelter who was looking after her after Maddies mother passed from a car accident. Maddie is almost two years old. Maddie has some anxiety around other people and animals at first but after spending some time with her and a couple treats to help she warms right up. Maddie is a very loyal, kind, and loving dog, shes always got a smile on her face. She caring and attentive, she will often come right over and sit on the couch next to me when i'm feeling down. Maddie loves treats like bullysticks, greanies, or bones that she can chew on. Maddie is crate trained, she knows how to sit, and loves to take naps. I'm hoping Maddie can find a home that can give as much love to Maddie and she gives to the people around her. I hope she can find a home with people who have the resources and time to give her a proper home and the attention that she needs. I think Maddie will do very well in a home with other dogs she can play with.

Story
Meet Buddy:  Buddy is a friendly Husky/Pyrenees/Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix that is approximately 1.5 years old (as of January 2026) and weighs 90 pounds. Buddy was found as a stray in a MS subdivision going from house to house looking for someone to help him. Thankfully he walked up to the right home and the family brought him into their home until he found a foster in PA. Buddy is being fostered in the Pottstown, PA area while he waits for his forever family to come get him. Buddy is very friendly and loves people. Buddy loves being outside either alone or with another dog. He plays nicely with his furry foster sisters, one his size and the other half his size, but does not like male dogs. We recommend no small dogs or small children because Buddy plays hard and does not realize his size. Buddy is your typical Husky/Pyrenes mix. He is very intelligent but has a stubborn side too. He knows a few commands – sit, down, paw, and look. Buddy will need additional patience and training as he continues to learn not to jump up and hug you to say hello, walk nicely on a leash, and not to counter surf. Buddy's Pyrenes and Husky show though the most as he guards the home and occasionally howls as Huskies do.  Buddy is crate trained and has not had one accident in the home. In the evening, he settles and hangs out with his human and other dogs in the home. Buddy definitely needs a fenced in yard and a family that is very active. Buddy is up to date on all his shots and neutered. If you are interested in adopting this sweet boy, please go to our website at charliescrusaders.org and fill out our adoption application.   REQUIREMENTS: Fenced in yard and a female dog in the home.   CURRENT LOCATION: Foster Home in Pottstown, PA 19464 Kennel License #17584 ##2367372##

Story
Siren is an incredibly loving, people-oriented Husky who forms deep bonds with her humans. Beneath her affectionate nature, she is a shy and sensitive girl who can take time to feel comfortable in new environments and with new people. Because of this, she will need a patient and understanding home that allows her to build confidence at her own pace.Siren does wonderfully with other dogs and must go to a home with a confident canine companion who can help guide her and show her the ropes. Having another dog around not only brings her comfort, but also helps her continue to come out of her shell.Due to her timid nature, Siren should be considered a potential flight risk, especially while she is still adjusting. A secure home environment and mindful handling will be essential to help keep her safe as she settles in.Once she feels comfortable, Siren’s personality truly shines. She loves toys, enjoys walks, and wants to be part of whatever her people are doing. For a Husky, she’s impressively good at relaxing during downtime—after she’s had her exercise, she’s happy to settle nearby and simply enjoy your company.Siren is the perfect mix of playful and peaceful, with just the right touch of classic Husky charm. She is affectionate, loyal, and incredibly sweet, and with the right support, she will blossom into a devoted companion.-- THIS DOG IS IN FOSTER CARE AND AVAILABLE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY; APPLICATION REQUIRED FOR AN APPOINTMENT --The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603Kennel #16516717-917-6979lancaster@pspca.org
