Story
Meet the Cats of Gettysburg at the Kitty Corner by Forever Love Rescue Star is a 85 lb pitbull that is very loving and affectionate. All she wants is to be loved back.Star would do best in a home where she is the center of attention. Loves to play and lounge on your lap like a couch potato as often as possible. No personal space with this girl; yearns for attention. Her foster recommends older children due to her size (85 lbs) or seniors with bully breed experience.   *** a courtesy post means that this dog is NOT part of Forever love Rescue.   We are trying to help a fellow rescuer find a home for this dog.   We accept the adoption application and do some basic checks for them and then all communication will be handled by them afterward.   We do not attest to the information they provide or to the health / vet care of the cat.   Specific questions about this dog should be emailed to us at foreverloverescue@gmail.com so that we can forward it to the appropriate person.Meet the #CatsOfGettysburg - Apply to adopt at bit.ly/AdoptFLR and we will help you find the purr-fect kitty for your family!  Visit dozens of our adoptable cats and kittens at our Kitty Corner adoption center 39 Queen St in historic Gettysburg PA on any Saturday or Sunday from 11am-3pm.  All of the cats listed are located in or near Gettysburg unless otherwise noted.

Story
Meet the Cats of Gettysburg at the Kitty Corner by Forever Love Rescue Hailey is an extra large pitbull. She is very friendly and playful. She seeks love and attention. Hailey due to her size would not be good with young children or frail adults. She would be okay in a home with older, considerate children. She is 90 lbs. She loves to snuggle/sleep on couch with you, but does snore at times. She would do well with another dog w/proper introduction. Hailey is interested in cats but would chase them so no cats in her new home. *** a courtesy post means that this dog is NOT part of Forever love Rescue.   We are trying to help a fellow rescuer find a home for this dog.   We accept the adoption application and do some basic checks for them and then all communication will be handled by them afterward.   We do not attest to the information they provide or to the health / vet care of the dog.   Specific questions about this dog should be emailed to us at foreverloverescue@gmail.com so that we can forward it to the appropriate person.  Meet the #CatsOfGettysburg - Apply to adopt at bit.ly/AdoptFLR and we will help you find the purr-fect kitty for your family!  Visit dozens of our adoptable cats and kittens at our Kitty Corner adoption center 39 Queen St in historic Gettysburg PA on any Saturday or Sunday from 11am-3pm.  All of the cats listed are located in or near Gettysburg unless otherwise noted.

PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. Homer is a lovable, snuggly pit with a lot of energy still at 7 years old. He knows basic commands (sit, lay down, stay, come, shake), is used to leashed walks, and loves cuddling on the couch or bed with his humans. He also enjoys giving kisses, scratches behind his ear, belly rubs and playing with toys (although you’ll need indestructible toys haha). Homer is used to being home during the day while we go to work, and he doesn’t have any issues being left alone during the workday. He is up to date on shots and neutered. We can provide a dog bed, food, bowls, leash, etc.    Homer would need to be the only animal in the home (dog reactive most of the time after 10 minutes or so of meeting but can pass them on the street during walks unless they lunge at him), no cats (or would likely be fine with a cat that keeps to itself) and no kids due to resource guarding and a bite incident. The two bites were not large and required glue but not stitches and were related to resource guarding.    A potential adopter would need to have knowledge (or willingness to learn) of resource guarding and the capacity to properly manage it. However, Homer is a sweet dog 99% of the time but just needs an environment suitable to not trigger his resource guarding, which I believe he will thrive in. We have done training through K9 Koncepts, which is supposed to be open for the entirety of Homer’s life, so we could potentially transfer that over to the adopter for free, if interested and after contacting K9 Koncepts to make sure that is a possibility.If you are interested in adopting Homer, please contact:Erica.  email: Erica.cranford11@gmail.com  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 5:13 pm
