My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Delilah, a beautiful Great Pyrenees Mama of 12 that is now ready to find a family of her own. She requires a family that is willing to be patient with her. She is very shy and takes a time to warm up. She is not a fan of men. but loves children. Because of her breed she does require a fence in yard.

She loves playing with other dogs, lying on the couch, toys, snuggles and giving and getting love from her Foster Mom and children. She will need a home willing to continue patiently sharing these with her as she came to us as a very timid Mama of 12. She loves the colder weather, snow and being outside. She is not super active as is the Pyrenees nature, but time outside especially in the cooler weather makes her very happy. Once she fills out she will be about 85lbs. She is in love with her Foster's 4 yr old daughter and will do well with kids that are gentle and understand that she needs them to quiet and respectful of her. She will thrive in the right environment and be an awesome addition to the family.

She is HW positive and has one more treatment to go. Her treatment will be explained in depth to all potential adopters and is paid for by Homeward Bound as long as she is taken to our Vet in Dillsburg, PA.

If you have an approved application and are interested in more information or possibly adopting Delilah, please reach out to her Foster Mom at thatsme963@aol.com

Additional adoption info

You may fill out an online application for any of our pets through our website. After we have had a chance to review the application we will be in touch with you. We do our best to match families up with their new best friend. All of our pets are in foster care and the foster parent knows what makes them tick and knows their personalities best. While your home may be a great home for a pet, it might not be the right home for the pet which you are applying. We may suggest a different pet, or if you are willing, we can keep your name on file and notify you when one arrives that has the qualities and personality traits that you are looking for. Do not be discouraged if the pet that you apply for is adopted by another family. There is no shortage of homeless pets and the perfect one will come along sooner or later. Many of the popular pets receive several applications and we do our best to insure that they are placed into a home in which they will be able to live out their days. We thank you again for you interest in saving one of the less fortunate. Good luck and you are now on your way to finding your new best friend. Adoption fees are posted on the pets pages. Any puppy that is not old enough to be altered prior to adoption requies a refundable spay/neuter deposit.

More about this rescue

We are a no kill animal rescue that was founded due to our love for animals that are less fortunate. We actively promote spay/neuter for all pets. All of the pets that come to us were in danger of being euthanized at the shelters they were housed in. Some of our pets have come from abuse situations, some are strays, and some are given up because their former owners just decided that they were not wanted anymore. The statistics are alarming -- 70,000 puppies and kittens are born every day -- over 25 million animals a year. Even more alarming, 15 - 17 million of these animals are euthanized in animal shelters each year. Why? Because irresponsible pet owners feel that it's no big deal if Fluffy or Fido has just one litter of kittens or puppies. After all, they will just take the offspring to the local shelter, and be done with it. Some people are under the misconception that because the dog or puppy that they bring to a shelter is a purebred, it will find a home easily. Nothing is further from the truth. All shelters and Humane Societies are overwhelmed because there is simply not enough space or adoptive homes. The problem with this logic is that there are already too many animals at the animal shelter. In addition to there being too many animals, there is often not enough help at the shelter to care for these animals. Shelter workers are often forced to "put down" puppies and kittens that are perfectly healthy. This is a tragic waste of life.
