Story
SADIE was adopted from us as a pup and, sadly, needs to find a “retirement” home as their living arrangements are changing and Sadie will not be able to accompany them.   Sadie is now almost a 7 year old Bernese Mountain Dog (DOB 4/29/2019)  she is located in NJ so you must travel for the first meet and greet. Here is a writeup from her current family:   Below are key notes on Sadie: - She is a very loving and sweet dog once she is comfortable in her surroundings. - It became apparent to us shortly after adopting her in 2019 that she had a real fear/anxiety problem.  We took her to a behaviorist who diagnosed her with 'World Fear', which is common in Berners and basically means she's prone to fear.  We do have prescription medicine to treat this (BusPirone and Gabapentin) that we give her twice daily. - If she is rehomed through CompAnimals, we would suggest a house that does not have kids.  Because of the above World Fear, she becomes very fearful of sudden changes in her environment (i.e. kids running around, balls/toys moving around).  She's not aggressive in these situations and chooses to run away to another room or hide. - We would recommend a home that has some experience with dogs and is willing to be patient with her fear.  While we found the right medicine for her, I do believe she will be anxious and/or fearful of a new home for the first couple of weeks.  After she's comfortable, she will be the big sweetheart Berner she is.   We would love a home with Bernese or similar breed experience. There will be a rehoming/adoption fee of $150. Her parents have done a wonderful job with her vetting and excellent vet reference is a must. Home visit required. Please fill out an application at www.companimals.org if you are interested in adding Sadie to your family!  February 2, 2026, 12:13 pm

Story
The Easy-Going Senior SoulMEET COOPER!   Life hasn’t always been kind to Cooper, but you’d never know it by the way he looks at you—with soft, trusting eyes full of gratitude. This gentle and beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog mix, approximately 6–7 years old, has endured neglect and hardship, yet he radiates warmth and kindness. Cooper’s journey to a better life began when he was rescued by Tara’s House from an outdoor kennel just prior to Christmas 2024 where he had spent nearly all of his life.   Cooper is a gentle soul who is just happy to be with you. He gets along beautifully with everyone and everything; dogs, cats, critters, and older kids who have been taught to respect dogs. All he asks for is a cozy spot to rest his head, a gentle hand to reassure him, and the time to slowly ease into an active routine. However, if you have the time for a bum scratch…he will happily accept! Completely housebroken, this boy is a gem who also puts himself to bed at night in his crate. He will greet you in the morning with the cutest happy tippy-tap dance and a wagging tail.   He is a calm, sweet-natured old soul who would make an easy transition into a home with a fenced-in yard (and a home with carpet or carpet runners would be especially appreciated by him, as he finds hard floors a little scary!)   Cooper is proof that resilience and love can transform a life. He is waiting to meet you with open paws and an open heart. Could you be the one to complete his journey? If you’re looking for an easy-going, loyal and loving companion, Cooper is waiting to meet you!   Cooper’s adoption donation fee is $400, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for him by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.October 23, 2025, 2:12 pm

Story
This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
✨Meet Stella!✨ Stella is a 2-month old Miniature Poodle/Bernese Mountain Dog mix who came into us as a surrender from a commercial breeding facility (aka Puppy Mill) in Lancaster County. She is blind in one eye due to a bite that happened when she was with the breeder. The eye cannot be repaired, but is currently being treated to heal the bite. She may need the eye removed in the future, but the ophthalmologist believes it is best to leave it at this point in time! Puppy mills are producing puppies at alarmingly high rates. It is easier for them to give up puppies who are not easily sold/don’t sell as they usually have multiple litters of puppies for sale at the same time. Adopting a puppy mill survivor is life-changing—for you and them. For these dogs, everything is new and often overwhelming: people, houses, stairs, leashes, food bowls, collars, toys, TVs, ovens, doorways, pavement…the list goes on. They need adopters who can move slowly, be patient, keep expectations reasonable, and provide the understanding and tools they need to grow into happy, confident companions. Patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding are key! With the right guidance, puppy mill survivors can blossom into well-socialized, joyful dog- so our goal is always to ensure every adopter is fully prepared to give them the life and environment they need to truly thrive! Stella is a sweet but shy puppy who will require a family up to the task of providing her the ample physical/mental exercise and training that all puppies require. Stella is blind in one eye but it doesn't slow her down at all! Puppies require a family who can continue their basic training and socialization skills to grow into confident and happy adult dogs! If you are interested in being considered for them please apply on our website at www.angelsretreat.org 💕🐾 Angel’s Retreat West Chester, PA PA Kennel License 17335
