My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing the handsome Leonardo!

This striking 2-year-old German Pinscher found himself in an unfamiliar place, the city pound, after being callously thrown out of a moving car, leaving him confused and frightened. Leonardo, still grappling with a lack of trust in people, tends to cower in the corner when approached, reflecting the trauma he has endured. Despite his initial reservations, this sweet boy does warm up, accepting treats from your hand and walking on a leash with familiarity.

While Leonardo may not be an immediate snuggle enthusiast, the hope is that with patience, trust, and time, he can overcome his past traumas. What he needs most now is a family or individual willing to be patient and understanding.

Leonardo has tested negative for heartworm, is up-to-date on his vaccines, microchipped, and is scheduled for neutering on Jan 24.

This resilient pup has a companion he's attached to, both having shared the same traumatic experience of being thrown from a car. With the right environment and the chance to heal and rebuild trust, it's believed that Leonardo may not need his buddy if a prospective family cannot adopt them together.

For the animals located in PA many of the meet and greets are done at the kennel.

More about this rescue

Find abandoned dogs a forever loving home, one person or family, one dog, and one home at a time.

We are a foster-based all-volunteer rescue. We rescue dogs from high kill shelters and find them their new forever homes.

All our dogs are spayed or neutered except for puppies under nine months old, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm-negative or treated for heartworm infection, and microchipped.

We believe every dog, cat, and critter has a purpose and deserves life, to be treated humanely, to feel love, to know compassion, and be happy, and most of all, to be family. After all, they bring all those qualities to people. We learn much from them as they displayed every time such unconditional love and selflessness qualities, which we reinforce with security and independence to express their true self as a loyal companion and forever friend.
