Story
Athena is a hippo-shaped bully with the softest soul. She was surrendered at no fault of her own and is still learning that it’s okay to settle in and feel safe again. At first, Athena can be a little reserved, but once she comes out of her shell, her gentle, affectionate side starts to shine. Athena is looking for a calm, quiet home where she can truly relax and enjoy her golden years. Her perfect day includes long naps, cozy spots to lounge, and plenty of love from her people. If you’re searching for a low-key companion who will happily soak up affection and return it tenfold, Athena may be your perfect match. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

Story
Chief is a young, eager boy who would truly thrive in a home that can offer him consistency, structure, and continued training. He loves playing with toys and has been a social, outgoing guy here at the shelter. Because he’s still working on his manners, we think a home with kids 13 and up would be the best fit for him. Chief has so much potential and is just waiting for a family willing to invest the time, patience, and love to help him grow into the amazing dog we know he can be. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

Story
Hi, I’m Eggnog! I might have been a little nervous when I first walked into my foster home, but it didn’t take long at all for me to gain confidence and start soaking up all the love. I’m a friendly, affectionate guy who adapts quickly and loves being part of whatever my people are doing. I love toys—especially tug toys—and I’m always up for playtime until I wear myself out and switch to snuggle mode. I have the softest coat, take treats very gently, and I’m a quick learner. I’ve already started picking up cues like “touch,” and I listen well and redirect easily. I’m still working on housebreaking, but I’ve been trying really hard and improving every day. I walk great on a leash and would make an awesome hiking or adventure buddy, but I also know how to relax and hang out at home. I’d be happiest with an active family who wants to play, train, and cuddle—I give the best snuggles. I learn fast, love deeply, and can’t wait to find my forever family to share all my love with. 💙 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #: 3537

Story
Hi, I’m Mudkip (but my foster family calls me Boo)! I’m a sweet, affectionate puppy who loves being close to my people—my favorite spot is right next to you, preferably touching, and at night I’ll happily snuggle up with my head resting on your back. I adjusted quickly to home life and did wonderfully with the other dog in the house, respecting corrections and learning boundaries right away. I’m great with kids, too—even baby noises, crying, tummy time, and all those new smells didn’t bother me at all. I’m a quick learner, polite with food, and already know how to sit, stay, and wait patiently for meals and treats. I enjoy playing with my dog friends, spending time with my people, and relaxing together, though I’ll admit I’m not a big fan of extreme cold (a cozy coat helps!). I have a medium energy level—I like playtime and interaction, but I also know how to settle and cuddle. I’d thrive in a home with a consistent routine, people who enjoy affection, and ideally a canine companion to hang out with. With patience and love, I’ll be a loyal, loving, and wonderfully snuggly addition to my forever family 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #: 3537

Hi, I’m Axel! I’m a 9-year-old gentleman who came to the shelter through no fault of my own when my landlord wouldn’t allow me to stay.

Story
Current Location: Hyattsville, MD Meet Dozer: A Playful Bulldog with a Heart Full of Love Dozer is a Bulldog who embodies everything wonderful about the breed: playful, friendly, affectionate, confident, goofy, bold, and cuddly! This sweet pup is very silly and will keep you laughing with his antics while also being your loyal companion who wants to be with his people all the time. Dozer is a loving dog who loves playing with his people. Tug of war is his absolute favorite! He has balanced energy, enjoying playtime, walks, and some stimulation, but he settles well when it's time to relax. He does well and settles in his crate, making him adaptable to your household routine. This friendly boy is great with other dogs and has potential to be good with cats, though he's working on being more gentle with smaller furry friends. He's wonderful with new people and his last family had young kids, so he'd likely do well in a family environment. Dozer is smart and responsive! He knows how to sit, knows his name, and responds to commands, praise, and treats. He's eager to learn and ready to continue his training journey with his new family. He does need to be watched to not mark in the house in new situations, but with consistency and guidance, he'll learn the rules quickly. Dozer would do great as an only pet or with a dog willing to match his play style. He's really a great pup who just needs a family willing to give him the attention he needs and deserves! If you're looking for a sweet, silly, affectionate Bulldog who will be your constant companion and fill your days with play and cuddles, Dozer is ready to meet you! Apply today!

Story
We are looking to rehome our sweet boy. He’s a Boxer/Pit mix, full of love and personality. He does great with kids and gets along well with dogs that are his size or larger. He’s loyal, affectionate, and loves being around people. He is 5 years old. However, he cannot be around cats or smaller animals. He would thrive in a home with a fenced yard, no small pets, and someone who can give him the attention and love he deserves. This is a tough decision, and we’re only doing it to make sure he goes to the right environment where he can truly be happy and safe.
