My story

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

Hello, my name is Christopher, a proud Cattle Dog with a heart full of loyalty and a spirit as boundless as the open range. Life with me is like embarking on a grand adventure every single day, and I'm searching for a special someone who shares my love for excitement and exploration.

I'll be the first to admit - I'm not your average lap dog. I've got energy to spare and a natural instinct to herd just about anything that moves. Whether it's chasing after tennis balls in the backyard or rounding up my favorite toys, I'm always on the move and ready for action.

But it's not just about the thrill of the chase - I'm also fiercely loyal to my humans and will stop at nothing to keep them safe. I'll be your faithful companion through thick and thin, always by your side and ready to lend a helping paw whenever you need it.

Now, I'll be honest - I'm not always the best around small children. They can be a bit too unpredictable and chaotic for my liking, and I prefer the company of older, more mature humans who can appreciate my unique charms. But if you're looking for a furry friend who's equal parts loyal and lovable, then look no further.

So what do you say? Are you ready to welcome a Cattle Dog with a heart as big as the great outdoors into your home? If you're looking for a four-legged companion who's always up for an adventure and never short on love, then Christopher is your guy!

Additional adoption info

If you rent your current home, a document signed by your landlord giving approval for you to keep a pet in your home. You may provide either a lease or a signed letter from your landlord. Please include the landlord's business address and phone number.

If you are coming from outside Adams County to adopt one of our pets, please plan to bring the name and phone number of the humane society that serves the area where you live.

All animals in your household must be current on vaccinations and be spayed or neutered. If you have a copy of your animals shot records please bring them along. If you already have a dog and are interested in adopting another canine companion, we require that the two dogs meet at the Animal Shelter, on neutral territory. If you have any questions or concerns about making this introduction, please call the Animal Shelter before you visit: 717-334-8876.

Please note: The Adams County SPCA reserves the right to do follow-up visits and to pre-adoption and post-adoption home checks by our Humane Officer. The Adams County SPCA reserves the right to deny any adoption application.
