My story

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

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

Hey all, I'm Sheila, a 60# gal 3 years old thought to be an Anatolian Shepherd mix of something! 
Left at my disabled 'Grandma's House' by owners, Grandma had no way to care for me correctly. After a few months of trying, she turned me into a shelter in WV. Unfortunately Grandma didn't know it was a High Kill Shelter. YIKES! Double YIKES!! Fortunately, word went out far and wide, SAVE SHEILA, SAVE SHEILA! Cries were heard and I'm now in a loving foster home in Dillsburg.Got other doggie friends here to show me the ropes and I'm doing fine per foster mom/dad. 

I'm true to my 'possible' breed in temperment being good with other dogs, people, children (not toddlers as my 'Zest for Life' does get the better of me. I am smart as a whip already know sit, down, give both paws, am crate trained & house trained, with a little stubborn streak thrown in for good measures! Mom is teaching me Patients, Sit and Wait before going out the door. :) 
NO Way am I going to be protective. So far I've shown only friendliness, kiss giving and a 'Lets Party Attitude' to new people. 
Leash walking is still work in progress, I pull some. Mom hopes this will improve with her training. I do need a fair amount of exercise. A dog park would be great or another buddy dog for romping. My recall is a work in progress as well. Physical Fence/Underground Fence at this point but with Treats, mom is working on recall so that may change. I am VERY FOOD MOTIVATED! 
Life is short and the New Year is coming. Maybe we can Start the New Year with a BANG Together!

Additional adoption info

We offer an online adoption application at www.castwaycritters.org. We do check references, vet references, and housechecks. Once you are approved, you will be required to fill out an adoption agreement. Our animals have all been wormed, altered and vaccinated. Cats have been tested for FIV/FeLV. For more information, see our website at www.castawaycritters.org.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All of our animals are in foster care so please complete an application at our website (www.castawaycritters.org) before meeting them. Completing an application does not obligate you to adopt; however, it is required. Applications are processed in the order received in an effort to find the best match possible for both the dog and the adopter.

Please also check out our events page on our website as fosters sometimes bring their available animals out to meet people!

We offer low cost spay/neuter clinics to the public and a special program called Operation CatNIP for pet cats of low income qualified individuals and feral cats, and assist in TNR for cats.
