Nevaeh is in need of a new forever home, one where she can be the only dog and get all the attention. However, she has been going on more Canine Cardio outings and she can walk past other people and dogs without causing a scene. She walks well on a leash, and also enjoys car rides. She is very shy and will need time to adjust to any humans. A fenced in yard or an out of town home would greatly benefit her so she is not near the high traffic of being in a city. She can live in a home with cats. We are suggesting older children due to her dislike toward other dogs. She really is a sweet girl who needs a home! She will require a decompression period after being in the kennel for so long. She will need time and patience and we are willing to work with anyone who is able to provide that for her. Please consider Adopting Nevaeh!

Additional adoption info
We do not work on a first come, first served basis for our animals. We look for the best match between the animal and the family/person looking to adopt. We also will foster adoptable animals in homes in certain cases to make sure that animal is a good fit in that home prior to completing an adoption.

More about this shelter
The Central PA Humane Society (CPHS) was established in 1964. We are a non profit 501c3 who receives no government or national rescue organization funding. We survive solely on grants we apply for, our fundraisers we put on and donations from our community. We are a 'life saving' shelter and only ever euthanize animals that are deemed dangerous to our staff and volunteers. This is after we have tried training, foster homes etc to give that animal every chance at a life outside of the shelter. We do euthanize animal that have life threatening injuries or illness that cannot be medically treated by a veterinarian.
CPHS has a dedicated team of staff and volunteers that cater to every animal in their care. We have enrichment programs for both dogs and cats to enable their time with us to be enjoyable and less stressful. We are very proud of our canine cardio and foster for the day programs than allow dogs to leave our facility and get some time out being walked or simply chilling out in someones home.
Our fundraisers are hugely popular in the community with events such as; Chili Fest, Bikers for Barkers, Paws in the Park, Fur Ball, Chocoholics Night out, Mimosas on the Lake to name a few! These fundraisers are instrumental in helping us look after the nearly 1,800 animals that come through our doors.
